Steven Gerrard revealed that gut instinct was key to his acceptance of the post of Rangers manager, after being unveiled at Ibrox on Friday. Gerrard has signed a four-year deal that will begin on 1 June because of commitments with Liverpool and BT Sport. This marks his first job in management. “When the call came to speak to Rangers, it was a no-brainer,” Gerrard said. “It was a different feeling in my stomach from other opportunities I have had to be a manager. I got a special feeling and I knew then that Rangers was for me. I have confidence I can deliver here as a manager. A huge opportunity presented itself. I was very aware of the size of club having watched from afar for many years.” In June 2015, BDO proposed an interim payment of £10 million to creditors, between 6p and 7p in every £1 owed.[62] Most of the funds were obtained from a successful legal action against Collyer Bristow, the firm of solicitors that acted for Craig Whyte during his takeover of Rangers.[62] This interim payment was due to be made by the end of July 2015, but was delayed by a claim made by Law Financial Ltd.[63] A further payout to creditors depended on the final result of the dispute with HMRC.[62] A report by BDO published in June 2019, and more widely publicised by The Times newspaper five months later, stated that the amount claimed by HMRC would be significantly reduced from a maximum of £94 million.[64] HMRC dropped a claim for £24 million in penalties, and The Times suggested that the tax component of the debt could also be reduced by up to £30 million.[64] BDO said that discussions with HMRC were ongoing, and that they hoped for a final resolution during 2020.[64] BBC News suggested that creditors, who had received a payment worth for every £1 owed, may receive a further 3p.[64] The reduction in the HMRC debt led to some speculation that Rangers could have survived the tax case without entering insolvency, if their board had known the actual extent of the debt before selling the business to Craig Whyte.[64] This speculation was disputed, as the debt due to HMRC was contested, Rangers had other substantial debts (including £18 million to Lloyds Banking Group), and the finance needed to rescue football clubs was not easily available at the time. After the formation of new holding and listed company for the club: Rangers International F.C. plc (RIFC), it was reported in an AIM announcement on 5 December 2012 that Charles Green owned a 14.9% shareholding in the club, with Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley having an 8.9% stake. The number of slaves transported on these Scottish slave voyages from West Africa was between 4,000 and 5,000, with Glasgow ships carrying some 3,000 of the total. The 1760s was the most prolific period of slave traffic and 1766 is likely to have marked the last slaving voyage from Scotland.A relaxed, composed Gerrard was greeted by hundreds of Rangers supporters as he made one of the most eagerly anticipated arrivals in Scottish football history. Gerrard replied with a forceful “Bring it on” when asked how he may handle the intensity associated with football in Glasgow. Celtic’s 5-0 win over Rangers last weekend meant a seventh title in succession for the side managed by Brendan Rodgers.
