While Craig Whyte will be seen by Rangers fans as the man who killed their club and hold him responsible, David Murray and the directors of the club leading up to the takeover have to take a sizeable portion of the blame — if not more.
What makes it even more baffling is that three of the current directors at Rangers — Dave King, Paul Murray and Alastair Johnston — were members of the same Rangers board that not only financially mismanaged the club to a point where they were already talking about administration but also sold the club to Whyte.
So with Whyte still public enemy No 1 on these shores in the eyes of Rangers fans and the football authorities, those same authorities seem to be turning a blind eye to the tenure of the current directors of the new Rangers.
