Publisher's Synopsis
The Asterisk Years: The Edinburgh Establishment versus Celtic tells the story of the advantages that Rangers held over the rest of Scottish football in the years they were under the control of David Murray. With the help of the Edinburgh Establishment, Murray was able to cultivate relationships that would allow Rangers to financially dope the Scottish Premier League for over twenty years but would ultimately lead to their death and his fall from grace. In a new section of the book, the author tells the background to the story and the obstacles to getting it out there. The author also describes what it was like to tour the film of the book all around the world. Fully updated to include the HMRC win in the "Big Tax Case", this is a story of privilege, class and the old school tie laced with fear and loathing as David Murray's dream that trampled over Celtic but would ultimately become Rangers nightmare. Oh and we still won...
