From being the most dominant club in Scottish football history,
Rangers F.C., one of the most famous and powerful names in British
sport, was sold to venture capitalist Craig Whyte in 2011 . . . for
GBP1. When Whyte walked through the gates at Ibrox, the club was
mired in debt and plagued with a toxic culture which seeped
everywhere - from the corridors of power to a sectarian hard core
in the stands. The 'great Whyte hope' was touted for a time as
Rangers' saviour but he was soon hung out to dry as the fall guy
for Rangers' misery as the unthinkable happened. The club was
plunged into liquidation and the reformed club suffered the
indignity of demotion to the third division, the lowest echelon of
Scottish professional football. The demise of Rangers saw Whyte's
reputation eviscerated on the pages of every newspaper in the
country, his name vilified on radio shows, TV programmes and blogs
as every aspect of his professional and personal life was picked
over. In 2012 he was arrested and accused of fraud. He was put on
trial where he faced the full might and resources of the government
for his role in the downfall of the club. Although he was
ultimately acquitted of all charges, he had to endure years of
false accusations from some media outlets and multiple death
threats from obsessed fans. Full of startling revelations, this is
the previously untold story of greed, corruption and scandal at the
heart of Rangers F.C., told, definitively, by the man who was at
the very centre of the storm.
