I think the important point you're missing is that the HMRC are the law of the land. Argue all you want but the facts are Rangers FC (IA) have been hit with a massive tax bill by those authorised to do so by Her Majesty and her Government.
As is their right they are
appealing that
decision through First Tier Tax Tribunal.
From the Government's web site:
"First–tier Tribunal (Tax) hears appeals against decisions relating to tax made by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC)"

I know many in the Scottish Press and a few Rangers spokesman keep repeating the mantra that they haven't been found guilty of anything.
They aren't renowned for letting facts get in the way of a good story though
