A JUDGE has set a date for a debate into whether Rangers should pay bill the legal bills of former chief executive Charles Green.
Lawyers acting for the businessman went to the Court of Session in Edinburgh on Tuesday in a bid to force the side into paying Mr Green's expenses.
The entrepreneur, who led a takeover of the Ibrox side in 2012, is one of six men who set to face high court proceedings in the near future in connection to his alleged activities there.
He is expected to stand trial alongside fellow businessmen Craig Whyte, Gary Withey, David Grier, David Whitehouse, Paul Clark and Imran Ahmad.
The venture capitalist, who once played professional football, wants the club to pay the costs of his defence.
Today judge Lord Tyre set a date for a two day hearing next month. He decided that proceedings into the matter will take place at the civil court on November 12 and November 13 2015.
He added: "I am persuaded of the need for a debate."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
