Former Rangers owner Craig Whyte will go on trial next month over an alleged fraudulent takeover of the Ibrox club.

The 45-year-old appeared in Aberdeen Sheriff Court yesterday to face two charges – one of fraud and a second allegation under the Companies Act.

The first accusation claims Mr Whyte obtained a “majority and controlling stake” in Rangers “by fraud”.

The charge dates are between May 2010 and May 2011, listing various locations including Ibrox Stadium, Murray Park as well as “addresses meantime unknown” in Monaco and France.

It is alleged Whyte and his representatives pretended to then Rangers owner Sir David Murray and others that “funds were available” to make all stipulated payments.

The second charge under the Companies Act centres on an £18m payment in connection with the takeover.

Mr Whyte was once again represented by Donald Findlay QC. Alex Prentice QC is now heading the prosecution team in the case.

He will appear at Glasgow High Court on Tuesday, April 18 to face trial for the charges.

He's a cunt of the highest order but why Lloyds and SDM have never been interrogated over their due diligence skills makes my blood boil. 

Its the way society is, i suppose. The higher up the food chain you are the more you get away with.

Hope he loses half his dick in a fishing accident and then afterwards when the doctors can't fix it he has a lot of pain when getting an erection, so much so that he starts punching it and screaming in agony coz the meats trying too expand out the foreskin but it can't therefore it just feels absolute agony, he goes through this for years until ultimately blows his brains out wi a shotgun, this doesn't work obviously and lives his last few years as a cabbage before getting continually banged by medical staff Kill bill style

Hopefully jailed then when his times up he is unable to walk for the rest of his life.

Been raised before here. As far as I know, QCs get allocated cases and do not have a say in which cases they get. As Findlay no longer has any interests in rangers, then there is no conflict.

Can anyone with greater legal knowledge than me confirm or deny this please?
