Johnston had earlier claimed a Whyte buy-out would be “good” for Rangers and it could be that a formal offer worth around £27m for Sir David Murray’s 85% shareholding is made in the middle of next week, but the Ibrox chairman also admitted an ongoing dispute with HMRC over a major tax case remained “the gorilla in the room” in terms of the club’s overall future. The cost could be £30m.
