Rangers bid tycoon had made £20,000 before leaving school

The self-made Scottish tycoon who yesterday confirmed his intention to buy Rangers Football Club in a £32m deal made his first thousands as a schoolboy dabbling on the stock markets.

Motherwell-born Craig Whyte was trading stocks and shares at 15, reputedly making a £20,000 profit before he left school in Glasgow.

The 39-year-old once held an executive box at the Ibrox ground he could soon call his own, and is a lifelong fan.
