David Murray, the chairman of Rangers, has won a lengthy battle to build luxury homes on greenbelt land near a fledgling £5m golf club he owns.

 THE E-TIMS - SPECIAL FEATURE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
My two sons David and Keith are now working with me and I want to spend time working with them” so said David Murray yesterday as he stepped down from the Ibrox hot seat to work the strings of John McClelland from the safety of the shadows.
Quite why Murray chose this particular moment to relinquish control is a matter of conjecture, and more on this later, but there is little doubt that obsequious hacks and assorted toadies will mark the occasion with the standard cloying sycophancy we have all come to know so well.
Quite simply when Murray walked into Ibrox in November 1988 Rangers stood poised to leave the rest of the Scottish game behind, events soon after seemed to confirm the inevitable Ibrox Ascendancy, yet 14 years later Rangers are mired in financial difficulties and languished a massive 18 points in the league behind champion’s Celtic.

 The Scotsman - Scotland - Man who broke the sectarian mould   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
If Rangers have given Murray a far higher profile than any of the other 21 companies he owns, it is also true that he has spent a hugely disproportionate amount of his time and energy in steering them through a dramatic period of almost 14 years.
Yesterday’s announcement that Murray is stepping down as chairman of one of Scottish football’s great institutions came as a surprise because it is difficult to imagine him not remaining the club’s driving force.
The tragedy which has touched Murray’s life is well documented but the amputation of his legs after a near-fatal car crash and then, nine years ago, the loss of his wife Louise to cancer has clearly fuelled his instincts to speculate in business.

The Scottish media is today staring at their walls in utter disbelief after events that transpired on Tuesday.
Murray picked up the Scottish media's “Businessman of the Universe” award for the 133 rd year on a trot and did so with such dignity he appeared to pour scorn on possibly the last seventeen of these when addressing the Rangers shareholders at the Ibrox club's AGM.
