No, but it's good news nonetheless.

The liquidators of Rangers Football Club plc have launched a multi-million pound legal action against the company's former administrators. The claim has been lodged by BDO against Paul Clark and David Whitehouse of accountancy firm Duff & Phelps at Edinburgh's Court of Session. BDO are seeking up to £28.9m following Clark and Whitehouse's handling of the administration process. Rangers entered administration in February 2012. Four months later, the company's business and assets were sold to a consortium led by Charles Green for £5.5m. BDO were then appointed as liquidators, and have since conducted a review of the events leading up to administration through to the sale of the assets. 'No other option' In November 2014, BDO agreed a settlement for £24m in a claim against Collyer Bristow, the legal firm that acted for Craig Whyte in his purchase of Rangers Football Club plc from Sir David Murray in May 2011. Those funds were added to the creditors' pot, as will any monies raised from the legal action against Clark and Whitehouse. In a statement, BDO said: "The joint liquidators, following extensive deliberations with their professional advisors and the liquidation committee, have taken the decision to issue a claim against the former Rangers' administrators Paul Clark and David Whitehouse, of Duff & Phelps. "During the course of the liquidation, questions have arisen regarding the strategy previously adopted by the former administrators, which have not, to date, been adequately answered. "In seeking clarity, the joint liquidators have been left with no other option but to pursue the matter via the Scottish Court. The joint liquidators look forward to the resolution of this matter." Criminal charges against Clark and Whitehouse relating to their involvement with Rangers Football Club plc were dropped in June 2016. Duff & Phelps have been approached for comment. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-38896812?ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbc_sportsound&ns_source=twitter&ns_linkname=scotland

You've got to desist from your default position of shooting the messenger. Contrary to popular belief newspapers don't print stuff like that without getting nudged in the right direction by someone who has something to gain and it's crystal clear that there's a concentrated effort afoot to make life distinctly uncomfortable for the manager. As for good news I'm sure if the pressure rises in the Boardroom we'll see one or two pieces of "good news" appear. I expect one item of which we'd all consider "good news" to come out soon.

The decision achieved it's purpose as did the one re Brown and Swanson.

The truth ain't shite stirring however unpalatable it may be.

No we wouldn't strengthen it one bit, all those players lack the necessary pace to play three at the back. It works for Chelsea because they have the calibre of player to suit it. Anyway after the whistle is blown we basically move straight to a 2-5-3 as it is.

Going three at the back with the current personnel would be suicide.

3-5-2 requires at the central most defender to have pace and all 3 to have the ability to read the game. Wallace being so high up the pitch was the major factor in us conceding on Saturday. Most teams we play now play the ball into the space where the full backs should be Hearts have been particularly effective with that ploy.

He's also spot on re the crowd. It was the Scottish edition of the Daily Mail (iirc).

Great way to install confidence in a struggling side. Really thought this Board wouldn't be so myopic.

Oh furfuxsake you just woken up from a 6 year long nap?

...and your solution is?

I know, I find it sad and unedifying and expect better from a Rangers Board. What hope is there when the backstabbing occurs at that level? They need to bear in mind that if they give Warburton his jotters and if his replacement can't wave a magic wand then that only leaves one target left and they more than anyone should know what happens when the fan base turns against their Board. Sadly it appears the decision has been made and all that remains is the timing.

The shortcomings of the manager should not be used by the Board to deflect from their own shortcomings.

Hearts decided the stand was full.

I wouldn't dismiss it so readily, looks to me like a those at Ibrox not favourably disposed to Warburton have tipped the wink to those who do their bidding on social media. No doubt an unedifying mess will ensue.

That doesn't mitigate what's happening on the park, as much as I believe in the Warburton project (and I do) we are not learning from mistakes, at this level Halliday doesn't cut it as a defensive midfielder him and Keirnan despite making the same mistakes game after game after game remain bomb proof. Long term I believe Warburton to be on the right path but there won't a long term for him if he continues demonstrating the inability to adapt in the short term.

Just in the door from that f*&king debacle. If he starts Halliday and Kiernan on Saturday he'd be as well filling in his own P45. He always says the players have to earn their place and the younger players should have a pathway to the first team, well I refuse to believe there isn't anyone at Auchenhowie who could do a better job as a holding midfielder than Halliday. For a spell we were lumping balls up the middle of the park to McKay in the centre forward position against to huge centre half's plain nuts. The substitution of Hyndman what the f*&k can you say about that, no wonder there was a very loud chorus of boos from the Rangers end. We were bullied off the ball all night all over the park and he brings on Holt, all night long we were crying out for the physical presence of Dodoo who had a great game against Hearts last time. On Saturday we will be playing a very physical Ross County side who will park the bus a rigid 433 will not cut it. Warburton has some big decisions to make over the next few days I hope he's man enough to make them.

Nobody forces you to watch it.

Virtually the same story in the Sun and Record under two different bylines with the Record's version baring the real author. Ironically enough he was there to get an insight of what it's like for an away disabled fan in Scottish football,so thanks a f*&king lot to the idiotic selfish morons for spectacularly scoring an own goal again. There's little doubt that that story reads a lot worse than the actuality of what occurred, I was in the disabled section at the away end and was closer to the flare than the home supporters and if anything it was a lot milder than the flares have been on previous occasions, the two photographers it almost hit (one being our own Willie Vass) were the ones in greatest danger. Incidentally the shelter I was in today was a brand new construction which has doubled the capacity for away fans and provides clear lines of sight (albeit at pitch level) and shelter from the elements, Motherwell and their disabled supporters group should be congratulated for that and other clubs should take note. That should have been the story that was in the papers. These idiots need to be dealt with, a couple of seasons back they let a flare off in the middle of the Rangers wheelchair fans at Airdrie causing distress and difficulties for disabled fans to the extent that several required medical attention and had to leave the game all because some spotty little Stone Island clad ned who's balls hadn't dropped could feel like a big man. Make no mistake the Club know who they are and it's incredulous that they continually get away with this unhindered.

Give this a try, nothing ventured nothing gained! http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/scotland/businesses-organisations/landlords or http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/scotland/grants-loans/heeps/heeps-loan-scheme

From where I'm looking it's Daly who's engaged in desperately trying to score points.
