Actions speak louder than words.
On one hand you have the BBC claiming to be an innocent party in the stand-off with Rangers and on the other, you have Chris McLaughlin – the banned journalist from Pacific Quay – interviewing Craig Whyte about his time at Ibrox.
Rangers haven’t banned the BBC from Ibrox, this is a well known fact, they have banned a journalist that repeatedly made stories up and was forced to apologise for inaccuracies – it must run in the family with his sister Connie also fond of mistruths – eventually the club had enough and revoked his accreditation, his employers, instead of punishing the individual, stood by him and refused to send anyone else to the club – how’s that working out for you?
This latest episode, some eight weeks after we were crowned champions says it all about the BBC and McLaughlin, he knows nobody connected to the club will speak to him or his colleagues so what does he do? He digs up a less-than-honest individual who’s impact at the club is still being played out in the courts between BDO and Duff and Phelps.

Tavernier v Dundee United
For those interested, Whyte – unsurprisingly – plays the innocent party, this does’t wash, for a start everyone knew that HMRC were targeting our use of Employee Benefit Trusts and that we had sizeable debts that needed to be brought under control, he negates to mention that he was the one who didn’t pay our tax liabilities from the day he walked in the door though.
There is only on group of Scottish football observers interested in what Whyte has to say for himself, Celtic fans, McLaughlin is as transparent as he is incompetent, “editorially fair“? I’ll tell the jokes.
