WE have had Craig Whyte and the meltdown at Rangers.
Now get ready for Craig Whyte the movie.
The collapse and comeback at Ibrox has been fuelled by heroes and villains during the darkest days of the club's history.
Now Whyte, who owned Rangers as they were placed in administration last year, is trying to sell the film, TV and book rights to his story and the club's downfall.
Details have come to light as Whyte faces bankruptcy, with the High Court in London ruling he must repay £17 million to the ticket agency that helped to fund his purchase of the club in 2011. He is to appeal.
Whyte hopes the rights to his story will be snapped up "in due course" with his intentions set out before the London Stock Exchange yesterday.
The financial world was informed of his plans in a note regarding the future of Worthington Group Plc, which has links to Whyte.
The statement said the rights to be transferred included book, film and TV rights to Rangers FC in 2011 and 2012 "as it relates to Craig Whyte". Whyte was unavailable for comment.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
