ian1964 10,626 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 The parent company of Rangers - the Rangers FC Group Ltd - will not face court action over an allegation of an unpaid bill to Fyfe Ireland solicitors. The Edinburgh based firm was due to raise a small claims action at Edinburgh Sheriff Court for an alleged unpaid sum, believed to be £1,260. The action has now been dismissed after the matter was settled out of court. It is believed that the matter has been settled to the satisfaction of Fyfe Ireland and the bill has been paid. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Could it not have been settled before this. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,568 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 We'll never know what the hold-up actually was, so we can only speculate. It was sure a nice headline raiser and a chance of the BBC to spout negative headlines ones more. Hence, it should have been avoided. That said, FI's Celtic-minded employee(s) might have made sure that any hold up would have ended in the press somewhere / sometime. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenzie1 0 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 There is not a big company anywhere in the UK that does not have small claims raised against them on a daily basis. This was just a small firm looking for their 15 minutes of fame and a bandwagon to jump on. I hope Rangers do not conduct any future business with them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these legal firms will be looking for the "spotlight" of having done work for an institution such as Rangers. They probably know that they are unlikely to get any more work from them so why not pursue an expense in public to show people that you have represented one of Scotland's biggest institutions. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Interesting that this was Whyte's company and not the club who owed the money because Fyfe Ireland solicitors are based in Charlotte Square of all places. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
