It is said that, by the time he left school, he had more cash in his bank than many of his teachers.

At 19, he was in charge of his own hire plant.

Now he owns his own castle - one of the most historic buildings in Scotland. And very soon he could be adding Rangers to his portfolio. It remains to be seen if Whyte's move to capture the club will f lush any other parties out of the woodwork because - despite their failure to strike a deal with Murray - King and his consortium have yet to throw in the towel on their own ambitions.

They had put together a package worth around £18m but this was flatly rejected and Ellis drove the price up when he agreed to pay Murray more than £30m.

The club's debt has been reduced by around £10m since then but the selling price remains the same.

Now, quite clearly, Whyte believes he will be able to close the deal and the young gun must have said enough to impress Murray, who has stated all along that he will only sell the club to the right people - men with enough money to take the club forward.

Who knows? Murray may even regard Whyte as something of a kindred spirit.

After all, Murray was himself aged just 37 back in 1988 when he launched a takeover of the Ibrox club.

It was the beginning of one of the most successful periods in Rangers' history but Murray's aggressive pursuit of European glory eventually saw him writing the kind of cheques that his club could simply not afford.

Now Whyte is bringing his money to the table but it remains to be seen if he will adopt the same scatter-cash approach as the man who has owned the club for the past two decades.

But if he brings in even half of the number of trophies Murray delivered then the fans are unlikely to be complaining."

The good old Daily Record and Keith Jackson and there story of "billionaire" Craig Whyte, who's wealth is off the scale!

This reminds me of many of their scaremongering stories during the Independence Referendum, certainly no facts in the basis of all these stories inc Whyte!

It is said that, by the time he left school, he had more cash in his bank than many of his teachers. Aye, off the radar wealth

At 19, he was in charge of his own hire plant.

Now he owns his own castle - one of the most historic buildings in Scotland. And very soon he could be adding Rangers to his portfolio. It remains to be seen if Whyte's move to capture the club will f lush any other parties out of the woodwork because - despite their failure to strike a deal with Murray - King and his consortium have yet to throw in the towel on their own ambitions.

They had put together a package worth around £18m but this was flatly rejected and Ellis drove the price up when he agreed to pay Murray more than £30m.

Aye, These multi-million pound deals were knocked back so that the club could be sold for £1. Also, this King guy that coudn't afford the £1. Surely this can't be the same guy that Rangers fans expect will save them this time round?

The club's debt has been reduced by around £10m since then but the selling price remains the same. Would The Rangers fans swap the financial predicament of their new club for that of the old club at the point of sale?

Now, quite clearly, Whyte believes he will be able to close the deal and the young gun must have said enough to impress Murray, who has stated all along that he will only sell the club to the right people - men with enough money to take the club forward. If £1 was all it took last time, how much this time?

Who knows? Murray may even regard Whyte as something of a kindred spirit. I didn't know that Murray was so enamored with individuals who had been banned from being a company director

After all, Murray was himself aged just 37 back in 1988 when he launched a takeover of the Ibrox club.

It was the beginning of one of the most successful periods in Rangers' history but Murray's aggressive pursuit of European glory eventually saw him writing the kind of cheques that his club could simply not afford. Remember all the Rangers fans who were calling for Murray to leave despite giving them the most successful time in their history? Do they feel guilty now? Do they feel culpable for putting undue pressure on Murray to sell the club to a guy who killed it?

Now Whyte is bringing his money to the table but it remains to be seen if he will adopt the same scatter-cash approach as the man who has owned the club for the past two decades. It certainly was an imteresting approach from mr Whyte. Whether he splattered the cash the way that Jackson hoped is doubtful though.

But if he brings in even half of the number of trophies Murray delivered then the fans are unlikely to be complaining." Nope. No more trophies, and there never will be after it died and is currently in the ahnds of liquidators BDO
