Wrong as usual Aka
Having been named the Scottish Football Writers' Young Player of the Year for his breakthrough season at Kilmarnock in 2006, his fellow professionals voted him their best youngster in 2007. Rangers had seen enough and got their man for £1.9m, with just a minute of the transfer window to spare. For five years, Ibrox loved him as he helped Rangers win three consecutive league titles, a Scottish Cup and two Scottish League Cups. The last of those championships came in 2011, a year that saw him win both the club's players' player of the year and supporters' player of the year awards. Steven Naismith scoring against Celtic Naismith's reputation as a big-game player was forged in Old Firm clashes - this goal sealed a memorable 4-2 win for Rangers over Celtic in 2011 And then he broke their hearts. He left when the club needed its best players most, but worst of all he left for nothing, cynically engineering a free transfer to Everton. Or so the terrace legend goes. There is not enough magic ink in my laptop to tell the full story of Rangers' lurch towards liquidation in the first half of 2012, but suffice it to say that little was as it seemed at the time and it is not over yet. But Naismith did not have the luxury of hindsight; he was trapped in the middle of a soap opera that was played out on the front, back and business pages, starring a global cast of would-be saviours and opportunist scavengers. So when it became clear that Rangers could not be saved via a deal with creditors, Naismith and his team-mates were faced with a stark choice: take advantage of their legal right to refuse to let their contracts be transferred to a new company and leave, or face further uncertainty and the third division. Rangers' new owners did not like it, and tried to stop it, but there was nothing they could do. Kyle Lafferty, Allan McGregor, Steven Whittaker and others joined Naismith in getting free transfers, while Southampton paid a relatively modest fee to expedite Steven Davis's departure. "It was a horrible situation to be in," Naismith said, speaking less freely than before. |

Evereton made a nominal payment of £200k to Rangers rather than go to an arbitration panel.

Cant remember reading that anywhere Aka, as far as I am aware he walked for nothing and anyhoo 200000 would have been a pity payment as there was no legal requirement(what about the dual registration requirement and the others who walked for free?)
Anyhoo look forward to next season and playing the big boys (maybe the Lying King will finally stump up the money he promised?) |

It definately happened.
Well DK hasn't let us down so far has he. Enough imvested to get us promotion and the stadium repairs done. Taking Ashley on in court and winning. Hands tied with the marketing because of the ongoing court case. Yes the future is bright under DKs stewardship. 55 in sight. |

As for old watty what is he on ![]() ![]() ![]() EBT man Walter Smith says Rangers 'bitterness' lingers Former Rangers manager Walter Smith believes there is still a sense of bitterness about the way the club was treated during their administration period and subsequent liquidation. Smith maintains there was "no reason" for Rangers to have to re-enter the league in the lowest tier. No need, christ they got leapfrogged in over other honest clubs(SFA and the minty media tried for more but honesty and integrity won out) Typical of this ex Ragers mentality - no humility and everyone is against us - gies a break EBT man |
