The deal is almost done."Whyte, 39, is on the brink of taking over the Ibrox club. The takeover has sped up after the Rangers board officially gave him the thumbs up.Gers chairman Alistair Johnston is in America but that should not hold up the transaction.Whyte convinced the board of his buy-out after talks following the Old Firm clash on Sunday.He has vowed to give new boss Ally McCoist a £10 million close-season transfer war chest.Read more: http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/3551733/Lets-do-the-deal.html#ixzz1KllDSbGJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
