Good evening. Rangers fans want cancers and now there is a call or

Craig Whyte's finances to be investigated. The taxpayer is on

the hook. Football clubs must realise they must comply with

regulations. The First Minister has revealed he was talking to Rangers

and the taxman. Unemployment is up again with

16,000 more people seeking work. A Scots woman told us how her

breast implant ruptured leaking silicone.

Britain's most senior Catholic was snubbed over an official Vatican

visit. There is a call tonight for the

Financial Services Authority to investigate Craig Whyte's financing

of Rangers Football Club. It has emerged that Rangers have held back

�9 million in taxes since he took control.

Craig Whyte cut a lonely figure last night in Heathrow airport.

is sad day. Hours earlier, it was revealed �9

million in VAT deducted from his staff had not found its way to the

taxman. This left fans wondering where the money went. It does not

look too good. I blame David Murray. Craig Whyte is just out for the

money. He claims to have injected �33 million of his own money to pay

off debts. Going on previous seasons, Rangers' income should be

around �26 million. There has been cash injections in the form of a

�24 million loan from a finance firm. �5 million has come from the

transfer of a player. That is �55 million. The cost according to Mr

Whyte is �3.5 million a month. That should lead �21 million. After tax,

the �9 million that should have been paid is added to that figure.

In theory, this should still be available. The club is in

administration. There has been a call from that form or House of

Commons secretary. At the end of the day, the taxpayer is on the

hook. Football clubs must realise we must comply with regulations.

HMI C... The case for a renewed investigation is something that

supporters should look at. Was it Craig Whyte's plan to take the club

into administration? This man works for Duff and Phelps. The BBC has

obtained these e-mails showing Mr Grier was involved in the takeover.

If there was evidence of a prior relationship, that would be cause

for concern. The independence may Mr Whyte had no comment when he

arrived at the miniature -- administrators.

The First Minister gave his first comment about the events.

The most important thing is to get an agreement between Regis and

intimacy. The most important thing is that Rangers can continue as a

football club. Are you suggesting they get more time? Over the last

few weeks, I have been in contact with Bowles. There is tribunal

which will make a judgment in a few weeks' time. It may have to wait

until that judgment has been made. The priority is to examine how much

is reasonably Ord and have a sensible agreement over a realistic

period of time. That would be right for the taxpayer and Rangers. If we

keep an eye on what is best for Rangers the club and Scottish

football, that is a sensible thing to do. I am asking Rangers and the

taxman to settle these add agreeably. The administrators have

only had 24 hours to make an assessment. They have spent the day

taking stock. They released a statement. It begins by saying they

have made very good progress. The thank their clubs'' business

partners for going the extra mile to make sure the game against

Kilmarnock goes ahead. The understand that this is up

difficult period. There is reassurance that Rangers will

continue as a football club. This is not about Rangers. The

applications are widespread. That is reflected in the number of

people queuing up to speak to the administrators. Dunfermline arrowed

�80,000. The administrators say they will continue to work West

those involved. It was not long ago that we were talking about crowd of

less than 20,000 for a Scottish Cup tie. Unemployment has risen in

Scotland with the latest figures showing 16,000 more people seeking

work. The number of people in employment has fallen. It is not a

surprise that unemployment is on its way up. Look at it from the

other point of view, how many Scots in work? The rest of the UK saw

rise in unemployment. The jobless rate is a bit higher. There is some

hidden unemployment. This woman is not an unemployment statistic. She

has a cleaning job but she is one of millions of part-time workers

who want to go full-time. Here was are not there for me. A part-time

wage gets stretched. Bills, food shopping. It is not all manageable.

Our understanding is that the labour market is tight. People are

looking for work and they will take what is on offer. Many people are

in low-paid work and part-time work when they would prefer to be in

full-time work. One response to part-time work is looking overseas.

The situation we're in now has been building for a while. We're seeing

more redundancies. In Nova Scotia, things have been levelled and they

have had shipbuilding contracts. It is more positive. In these sectors

facing high unemployment was construction. Another sector under

pressure is Retail. Scottish shop- owners said January saw the

sharpest drop in sales. The lack of confidence about jobs means people

are looking for discounts. For an animal charity condemns a

decision not to prosecute a gamekeeper who batters close to

death. What now for Rangers players? We

hear from were an Ibrox star. All the joy and heartache of

Valentine's Day Scottish Cup replay. The Catholic Church in Scotland

says it is disappointed Cardinal Keith O'Brien has not been invited

to join a delegation to the Vatican. Government ministers had an

audience with the Pope today. The Archbishop of and Westminster was

there. Despite being the most senior, there was no place for

Cardinal Brian. When pop Benedict visited the UK in

2010, it was Scotland and Britain's most senior cleric who to coast.

One would have thought he would be invited. He is ahead of the

Catholic Church in England and Wales but not the UK. Is this a

snob? It is an oversight but it is easy to understand why people would

think it was a snub. It is not long ago the Scottish Government was

deeply involved in the planning for the people visit. He played a

leading role in this. This is a historic visit. It included the

Secretary of State for Scotland Michael Moore. He said it was the

decision of the Catholic Church. The BBC understands it was Baroness

ba said he asked arch bishop Nichols to accompany the delegation.

This has upset the church. There is a feeling Cardinal Brian should

For the Scottish government, it was not just the cardinal but Scotland

there was overlooked. They talk about respect when they are making

these decisions, but they do not demonstrate that. This oversight

will be embarrassing for the government, not least of all

because the card and all is one of Michael Moorer's constituents.

An Edinburgh woman who received substandard breast implants has

been talking about the surgery she's undergone to remove them. One

of the implants ruptured, leaking silicone into Jenny Brown's body.

This time last week, Jenny Brown was on an operating table. Today,

she joined a solicitor to sure the world about the faulty breast

implants that she had removed. way shot to think that was inside

me. As you can see, this one is intact, but this one has completely

ruptured. The clinic which did the original surgery said there was

nothing wrong with her in plants. It was only after she sought a

second opinion that the rupture was discovered. Her advice for other

women? Have they think about it. I did not have any symptoms, so if

you have had breast implants, I would advise you to get them

checked. A look now at what else has been

happening across the country this Wednesday. Inverness hospital has

closed one of the wards to patients because of the dis Soc discovery of

the super bug. The Fire Brigade Union has hit out at the decision

to close some rural fire stations in the Highlands and Islands.

Support for renewable energy in Dumfries and Galloway has been

tested to the limit. They're calling on councillors to adopt the

new policy to prevent the countryside being overrun by a wind

farms. More than �3 million worth of major projects have been

cancelled and the Borders. They have slot behind schedule. A

husband and wife from Aberdeen Show script more than �4.5 million on

the lottery. They are the second people from their village to win

the jackpot. I could not believe it. I put the television off and then

put it back again and they were the same numbers. I could not believe

it. Inverness has become the first city to introduce Street pastor's.

They're hoping residents will share their problems with them, but they

will also help tourists with things as simple as directions. People

have problems during the day just as much as they may have them at

night time. Part of Edinburgh was closed off today after James McEvoy

was filming his abbot adaptation of the are then Welsh novel.

An animal welfare charity has condemned a decision not to

prosecute a gamekeeper filmed battering several crows to death

inside a cage. Prosecutors say the footage cannot

be used in evidence, as it came from illegal surveillance.

But campaigners say their lack of action sends out the wrong message

on wildlife crime. This is the cage traps. It is legal in certain

circumstances. In this case, it has done its job. But now, they should

be humanely killed. But will happen shock and animal charity so much

that they took the footage to the police. A field officer sought the

gamekeeper going into the trap and ultimately killing seven out of the

12 birds that were in the cage by beating them with a stick. The

birds were taking several blows. Det Crown Office say the presence

on the office of the charity worker and Act amounted to illegal

surveillance. They say the evidence is that inadmissible. We're think

in terms of natural justice the animals did not receive that.

people say that if such film like this is not admissible, the law

diagnosed with mumps in the past week. They are in different courses

and live in different places, but there is an increase among young

Now for tonight's sports news and over to David.

The Rangers players will be going through hell right now. That is

what a former player is saying, as the current roster of Rangers

players face up to the uncertainty of administation. So far, there has

been very little comment from the Rangers employees. A at the

training ground, it was a deal from regular training. When the manager

arrived, he did not want to talk to the BBC. So, something of a wall of

silence that Murray Park today. The players and staff of the club's

seemingly have been told not to speak to the media. For the moment,

there remains more questions than answers. One of the players to to

Twitter to thanking the fans for all their support. They will be

going through absolute hell. There is a process before where they're

not sure it is going into administration. I am sure the

administrators are spoken to them as a grip and possibly told them

not to speak to the press. Even though it is a bigger institution

than Dundee, they will be facing the same sort of thing that we were.

Rangers player Lee McCullogh do not want a quick word with us as he

drove off. Who knows who will be left at Ibrox after the

administrator has finished? How did you spend Valentine's Day?

A romantic meal with your other half?

Or were you one of the lucky ones at one of the three William Hill

Aberdeen and Hearts all won through to the quarterfinal stage. Tuesday

victory for Simone as the beat Ross County 2-1 to book their place in

supporters. It is tremendous that they have come up. They showed

great passion and commitment. Aberdeen's day started well, with

Fraser Fyvie taking advantage of slack defending by Queen Of The

South. Ryan McGuffie equalised for Queen Of The South, but the late

winner from Andrew Considine for Aberdeen was the heartbreaker for

Queen Of The South. Sue Johnston where only a few minutes away from

victory against harps after Murray Davidson his ball. But a

controversial late penalty by a Jamie Hamill took the game into

extra time and Marius Zaliukas secured the winning goal for Hearts.

In all walks of football, you need a little bit of luck. We did not

get that tonight. To get a penalty given with only the be funny

seconds of the game left was very cruel. Full time joy was unconfined

for the Hearts players. I just wish they would learn to keep their

get the weather forecast. Do not be filled the we're finished

with winter. We are not. However, we were actually blessed with quite

a mild day, with parts of Perth Show been the warmest place in

Britain. In fact, you would actually have to go to Africa to be

see that band of rain pushing and across the north and west of the

country. It will be a frost free mate, with temperatures not

dropping below four or five degrees Celsius. As we going to the morning,

that rain will push east and south, pushing into Galloway in the

morning. But come the afternoon, there will be plenty of sunshine in

the forecast. Perhaps the Western Isles will enjoy -- will be forced

to have some showers. In the South West, it will also be cloudy, with

some regular outbreaks of rain in the afternoon. Into the evening and

overnight, we will have the dry, settled night. Friday is a bit of a

mixed bag. They will be some sunshine, but many areas of the

North will have a lot of cloud. Into the weekend, it is all change.

lot colder and there could be an early warning for Arsenal. -- for

is February. Now, a summary of the top stories to eight.

There is a call tonight for the Financial Services Authority to

investigate Craig Whyte's financing of Rangers Football Club.

Lord John McFall, a former chairman of the House of Commons Treasury

Select Committee, says the regulator must look into the deal.

Unemployment has risen again in Scotland with the latest figures

showing 16,000 more people seeking work. The jobless total in Britain

has risen to 2.67 million. The Governor of the Bank of England

has been giving his latest forecast for the economy, saying we face
