So when are any of the old Rangers management and board up in court if they are guilty of tax evasion?

The money was waived on the understanding that the SPL cover the outstanding footballing debts, Rangers have signed statements to that effect. When the new holding company took Rangers membership and agreed to take the debts the SPL went back and started to claim that they were responsible for the debts. I believe they backed down when it was made clear they could get another kicking in court and make FIFA even more angry.

The 2 mil is floating about, I wouldn't be surprised if its being used to fund the totally impartial investigation into Rangers. Harper McLeod aren't coming cheap.

It is nice how, out of all the law firms in Scotland, they appointed the same one used by Celtic and whose major partner is often seen at Parkhead, no conflict of interest there at all.
