No time added on for Rangers

Rangers thought they would have a relatively leisurely 10 days to decide whether to appoint administrators.   But the Court of Session in Edinburgh ruled today that they would have to appoint administrators by 3.30 p.m., giving them just 90 minutes, the length of a football match but with no time added on.

Revenue and Customs were concerned that the moves by Rangers could deprive them of money they considered owed to them.   They also had issues with the insolvency practice selected by Rangers.   So they brought their own action for the court to appoint an administrator.
