  3. Great video of the tour mate Put it up on the Rangers Videos site
  4. I think the Miller bid is going to win. From what i've read it seems to have the most money behind it and that's what D&P will go for.
  5. Prospective Rangers owner Bill Miller has admitted he favours SPL proposals which could see an Ibrox ‘newco’ face tough new sporting sanctions. The SPL clubs will meet on April 30 to vote on plans which would only allow a liquidated Rangers to return to the top tier with a 10-point penalty for the next two seasons and a 75-per-cent cut to their commercial revenues for the next three. Rangers administrators and supporters’ groups have reacted with fury to the proposals, accusing club chairmen of jeopardising a takeover and kicking the club when they are at their lowest ebb. The Rangers Supporters Trust has issued a statement calling for a fans’ boycott of away grounds next season. Undeterred in his plans to take Rangers out of administration via a creditors’ agreement, however, Chicago-based Miller flew in the face of popular opinion by claiming he backed the proposals for Financial Fair Play. He told Sportsmail: ‘I hope the Rangers representative at the SPL meeting votes in favour of all of the proposals as I believe they are in the best interest of the league and its members - including - the Rangers. ‘I can confirm that I have responded to Duff & Phelps and that I am in favour of a CVA exit from administration. Based on my interpretation of the proposed SPL sanctions, it appears the only penalty that could impact the club is if Duff & Phelps was unable to complete the CVA by the beginning of the season. ‘Consequently, my bid continues to be in place with the administrators. However, in reviewing the proposed sanctions, it is clear that any club going into administration in the future, including the Rangers, would be severely penalised. Fair cop: Bill Miller believes the punishments are justified ‘In my view, this falls in line with the appropriate efforts of the various governing bodies to ensure clubs are operating within their means and not mortgaging the future with excessive debt.’ Administrators Duff & Phelps had described the SPL plans as ‘disruptive and regrettable’. With Singaporean consortium leader Bill Ng joining Miller in saying he is still in the race, however, a preferred bidder is expected to be confirmed in the coming days. Ng told the BBC: ‘My bottom line is to ensure Rangers’ continued survival. We stand by what we promised. A change of rules does affect the finances of the club, but it does not affect our passion. ‘It is better to know the changes early than to get surprises after we have done our budget.’ Blue Knights leader Paul Murray has yet to declare his views on the SPL plans, telling Sportsmail he had no comment to make. The anger of Rangers supporters shows no sign of abating, however, with the club’s Supporters Trust threatening to co-ordinate a boycott of away grounds in retaliation for the SPL vote. An RST statement read: ‘Given the severity of the possible sanctions and their impact on any club who may also fall on hard times through mismanagement, it leaves us little option to give serious consideration of calling for a boycott of away fixtures by Rangers fans next season; specifically targeting those clubs who have rushed through the proposals to punish our club with these excessive and draconian penalties. ‘We will discuss this in the near future with our sister organisations to maximise impact and collate ideas on how a boycott could be facilitated if deemed necessary. ‘There appears to be a change in attitude within our support and a unified determination not seen before as we again see another attempt to persecute our club whilst we are at our most vulnerable.’ Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2129031/Bill-Miller-insists-Rangers-punishment-right.html#ixzz1rrvTRSeo

  16. More info here:- $40m Glasgow Rangers bid is climax of 40-year love affair Hougang United chief Bill Ng, estimated to be worth up to $82m, lives and breathes football Hougang United chairman Bill Ng is part of the five-man Singapore consortium seeking to buy Scottish league champions Rangers Football Club. Almost 40 years ago, a Singaporean boy watched on television as Scottish football club Rangers conquered Europe for the first time by lifting the Uefa Cup Winners' Cup. A love affair was born. Today, Mr Bill Ng hopes to take his childhood fascination to a whole different level by buying the famous but now bankrupt club for 20 million pounds (S$40 million) CLUB HAS 5.5 MILLION FANS Rangers Football Club, based in Glasgow, have won 54 Scottish league titles, which is not just a record in their country. No club in the world has won more national titles than them. Nicknamed the Gers, they were the first British club to reach the final of a European club competition in 1961. Their only continental triumph was at the 1972 European Cup Winners' Cup. Rangers boast a reported worldwide fan base of 5.5 million, with their 51,000-capacity Ibrox stadium regularly entertaining sell-out crowds (right). The 141-year-old club are fierce rivals with cross-city opponents Celtic - the two are collectively known as the Old Firm. Rangers' traditional support has largely come from the Protestant community, while Celtic's supporters are predominantly Catholics. The rivalry is considered one of the most violent in world football. In 1980, about 9,000 fans fought an on-pitch battle in the aftermath of Celtic's 1-0 victory in a Scottish Cup final, but there have been fewer serious incidents of violence in recent years. It cost Rangers owner Craig Whyte about £52.5 million (S$105 million) to take over the club in May last year. Already struggling to escape the shadow of the popular English Premier League, the club sank into crisis after news that Mr Whyte bought it using about £24.4 million raised by mortgaging three years' worth of season tickets to London-based agency Ticketus. In February, Rangers entered administration after a dispute with the tax authorities. They could owe more than £134 million to 276 creditors. Despite his five-man Singapore consortium facing rival American and Scottish bids, the 52-year-old has started to dream of having tea with a Rangers legend. http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_786516.html
  17. SINGAPORE businessman Bill Ng last night begged Rangers fans to trust him after revealing he has been planning his £20million takeover offer for the club since last year. The chairman of homeland club Hougang United is fronting a five-man consortium and is one of three bidders aiming to take control of the financially-stricken Ibrox club, who are in administration. Ng has been viewed with suspicion so far, but the director at private equity firm Financial Frontiers is keen to stress he is deadly serious at becoming the new owner at Rangers. Ng said: “In recent days, we’ve seen more creditors crying foul and claiming that they’re owed money by the club. “It is up to the administrators to decide what the real amount is. We’ve been monitoring the situation since last December so we’re happy with our offer, which remains and will not change. “As a Rangers fan myself since my childhood days, I know how fiercely protective the supporters are of the club’s heritage and tradition. We truly feel that we are the ones who can right the ship there.” If this development is successful, it could possibly further benefit Singapore football in the future Football Association of Singapore’s director of marketing and competitions, Ridzal Saat And Ng has been give the backing of his national FA for his bold bid to take over Rangers. Football Association of Singapore’s director of marketing and competitions, Ridzal Saat, said: “We would like to applaud Bill Ng for his efforts in the bid. “If this development is successful, it could possibly further benefit Singapore football in the future.” link - http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/313293
