Rangers sweat on tax verdict

Owner Craig Whyte admits Rangers could be about to face the “toughest few weeks” in the club’s history.

The Scottish champions are awaiting the verdict of a tax tribunal which could leave them with a bill of as much as £49million should they lose their dispute with HMRC.

Boss Ally McCoist admitted on Friday that, because of the club’s finances, the welfare of Rangers is more important than results on the park right now.
