Police Extend Probe Into Rangers Saga As Green's Buyout Of Club Under Scrutiny

Detectives "have widened their investigations" into the Scottish Championship side Rangers saga to probe the Charles Green buy-out and a subsequent £70M ($109M) cash burn, according to Keith Jackson of the Scotland DAILY RECORD. Officers last week "spent two days in London interviewing key individuals linked to Green’s chaotic reign." Former Chair Malcolm Murray "was one of those quizzed as a witness by the cops -- who recently charged former owner Craig Whyte with fraud as part of a separate investigation into his initial takeover." Green appointed Murray to the Ibrox board within days of completing his controversial £5.5M ($8.6M) purchase of the club’s assets in a deal with administrators Duff and Phelps (DAILY RECORD, 12/8).
