Murray has been claiming that there was nothing wrong with his use of EBT’s, the Supreme Court ruling from 2017 nails that lie completely.
Rangers fans created The Banter Years as they switched their backing to the Tribute Act created by Charles Green. While SPL clubs went to the wall, denied the precious blue pound that they had fed off for decades.
There is no way that Murray sat on that blockbuster story for over 30 years, out dining on succulent lamb with his closest friends he is bound to have slipped ‘Did I ever tell you about that phone call from Robert Maxwell’ into the conversation.
And that’s about it unless you add in wishful thinking and the Morelos template when the Ibrox Tribute Act held out for Dembele Dollars then lost the chunky striker as a free agent.
