FOLLOWING news that the Crown Office have ordered a probe into the acquisition of Rangers by Craig Whyte last year, the club have released the following statement.

Malcolm Murray, Chairman of The Rangers Football Club, said: “The Board’s priority is to rebuild the Club for the future and we are 100% focused on that task.

“We welcome any investigation that examines events at the Club and will offer every assistance if required.

“The rank and file Rangers fans are blameless. Rightly, they want answers and for those responsible for the Club’s fate in recent times to be held to account. Hopefully this investigation will assist in this regard.”

David Whitehouse, joint administrator, said: “We provided initial documentation to Strathclyde Police very shortly after our appointment as administrators on February 14 and have had a number of conversations with the police since then.

“Both in our role as administrators, and previously in our role as advisors, we have fulfilled all our obligations in keeping relevant authorities informed of any developments pertinent to their jurisdictions.

“As court appointed administrators, we will continue to provide our full assistance in the investigation process and welcome this development.”
