Whyte upset with doubts coming from Rangers board members

New Rangers owner Craig Whyte is unimpressed by doubts from the board over his spending power.

Whyte successfully acquired Sir David Murray's 85% shareholding last night in a deal worth £52.5million, including a promise to invest £25million in the playing squad over five years and rejuvenate Ibrox Stadium.

But a statement released by the Independent Board Committee, led by Rangers chairman Alastair Johnston, revealed their continued scepticism over Whyte's ability to fund his pledges.

Whyte said: "What they said was complete and utter nonsense. I was surprised and disappointed with their statement.

"It's obvious certain individuals have a different agenda and don't like change. I've already spoken to them so they know my feelings."
