    The Blue Knight's - The Last Man Standing

    in Jimmy Bell's Kitroom

    THE Germans have pulled out of the bidding war for Rangers.

    SunSport understands the consortiums from America and Singapore could follow them.

    That would leave Paul Murray and his Blue Knights as the last men standing in the fight to seize control of the Ibrox giants.

    Four bids made Wednesday’s 5pm deadline, including an offer from a mystery German-based company.

    But after detailed discussions with the administrators Duff & Phelps yesterday, it became clear that bid would NOT be considered as a viable option.

    Now in a fresh twist SunSport has learned offers from Singapore and the US are also struggling to stand up to scrutiny.

    It’s believed that the American offer, worth £25million, was lodged by investors who were part of the consortium put together by Club 9 Sports, who pulled out of the running on Tuesday.

    Business magnate Bill Ng is the major figure in the Far East group.

    But both parties are now seriously considering their options after the magnitude of Gers’ debt was laid bare yesterday.

    Bean-counters estimate Gers owe creditors a staggering £134m. That figure could scare off rivals and leave Murray in pole position.

    Joint administrator David Whitehouse confirmed the Germans are now out of the race. He said: “I can confirm we will consider further three of the four bids. We have had a number of discussions with the parties today.”

    The Blue Knights’ bid is believed to be worth £10m, and they have an agreement in principle with Ticketus to wipe £17m off the debt they are owed by Rangers.

    Murray would look to exit administration via a CVA, avoiding the doomsday scenario of liquidation.

    Whitehouse admitted: “We can now see light at the end of the tunnel whereby the club exits from administration and can focus upon success on the pitch. Exit from administration does look achievable by the end of the season.”

    Gers Enjoy State Visit!

    Exclusive from Lindsay Herron in Germany

    RANGERS enjoyed a "state visit" today at their German training HQ when the Prime Minister of Lower Saxony, David McAllister, meet Ally McCoist, his staff and players and Director of Football Gordon Smith.

    Mr McAllister is a lifelong Rangers supporter after being born and brought up in Germany by his Scottish father and German mother.

    PM David McAllister visits the team in GermanyAnd he revealed he used to collect Panini stickers of McCoist when he was younger.

    The Prime Minister is the equivalent of Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond and was thrilled to take time out of his busy schedule to travel from Hannover to meet and chat with the squad.

    The Rangers manager handed over a signed Rangers shirt and other club memorabilia and formally invited Mr McAllister to visit Ibrox and Murray Park.

    The Prime Minister said: "It was a great moment for me to meet Ally McCoist and the players.

    "I'm very pleased that Rangers are spending a week here in Lower Saxony and when I heard they were here and was invited to come and visit I was more than delighted.

    "My father was a keen Rangers supporter and I remember when I was growing up we used to listen out for the score every Saturday night on British Forces Broadcasting Services when James Alexander Gordon read out the classified results.

    "It's a great pleasure to meet Ally McCoist and his players. I remember I had a Panini sticker of Ally around the time of the 1990 World Cup - although he had longer hair then!

    "Ally and Gordon Smith have kindly invited me to come to Ibrox and I would love to do that at some point in the future."

    Mr McAllister was born in West Berlin in 1971 where his father was stationed and is still fiercely proud of his Scottish roots.

    He got into politics with the Christian Democrats when his family moved to the Lower Saxony area and he became Prime Minister last year when his predecessor Christian Wulff became President of Germany.

    Indeed there is serious thought here that he may go on to hold the same office.

    McCoist said: "It was tremendous to meet David. It's a great honour for us that he took time out from his busy schedule to come and visit us.

    "We would love him to come across to Ibrox for a game in the future and he said he would love to come."

    NO (again for the hard of hearing)

    if they implied that the Tims where in the lodge complaining it would have been a different answer, but choose to elude my question instead.

    I asked where they where complaining and they eluded by suggesting the lodge.

    Where?.... Don't you mean " were "

    Sorry, I never realised I was wasting my time with an idiot.

    no, i meant eluding. thats why i said it.

    but thanks.

    answer for the question you are clearly eluding?

    You said, " you are eluding that tims in the lodge are complaining that two "members" are sharing a handshake? "

    I'm sorry, but that makes no sense whatsoever. You meant implying, didn't you ? :sherlock:
