Welcome to Reporting Scotland. On the programme this evening. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
A friendly handshake and then down to business. Talks between the | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
First Minster and the Prime Minister are dominated by how many | :00:26. | :00:34. | |
questions the referendum should ask. I believe that we need to put a | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
simple, straightforward and legal question to the Scottish people. | :00:40. | :00:48. | |
position is, let's listen to the people of Scotland. | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
In other news this evening. Rangers' administrators cannot find | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
a �24 million loan taken out by Craig Whyte. But so far none of the | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
players or staff has been laid off. In other developments in this story, | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
Celtic have hit out at Alex Salmond after he appeared to suggest they | :01:01. | :01:11. | |
:01:11. | :01:12. | ||
needed Rangers. A big day for a little comic. | :01:12. | :01:20. | |
Ronnie Corbett and receives his C pay E from the Queen. | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
Also ahead. And Scotland as seen from Hollywood. But is Brigadoon a | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
film classic or a cringeworthy embarrassment? | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
People will be offered more powers for the Scottish Parliament if they | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
vote no to independence in the referendum. That was the surprise | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
offer from the Prime Minister during a visit to Edinburgh today. | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
David Cameron also held talks with the First Minister Alex Salmond, | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
after which both men claimed that progress had been made. Here's our | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
political correspondent, Raymond Buchanan. | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
At the moment, it is a waiting game. The battle for Scotland's future | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
could be years from a conclusion postop but now there is a new | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
option on the horizon, greater powers effort Scots reject | :02:02. | :02:12. | |
independence. -- greater powers if Scots reject independence. I am | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
looking at how the devolved settlement could be improved | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
further. That does mean considering what other powers could be devolved. | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
But that must be a question for after the referendum. As he spoke, | :02:26. | :02:34. | |
there were scuffles outside between the police and anti-cuts protesters. | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
On the agenda with the First Minister was how would independents | :02:39. | :02:49. | |
:02:49. | :02:52. | ||
work? -- independence. The colour of the political map was steering | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
the David Cameron in the face. believe that we need to put a | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
straight forward and simple and fair and legal question to the | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
Scottish people in a good time, which is to ask, do you want to | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
stay in the United Kingdom? And I hope that that is what people would | :03:13. | :03:21. | |
vote for. We have not made much progress on this issue which is | :03:21. | :03:30. | |
frustrating. The nub of contention is quite straight forward. Should | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
there be one or two questions on a ballot paper and who should decide | :03:33. | :03:43. | |
:03:43. | :03:48. | ||
that? But how much support will Mr Cameron have? The Labour Party has | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
always said that devolution it is not set in stone. We want to make | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
sure that government works most effectively in the interests of the | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
people of Scotland. The Scottish government wants more details of | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
from Mr Cameron before people vote on their constitutional future. | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
Alex Salmond has described his proposals as a potential pig in a | :04:09. | :04:17. | |
poke. Quite a busy day all round. How | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
much have we moved it on? There has been no great a | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
fundamental change. David Cameron did not come to Edinburgh and | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
become and nationalist. Alex Salmond does not become a unionist. | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
But some will see David Cameron's offer of greater powers as some | :04:40. | :04:48. | |
form of progress. But Alex Salmond won some detail on that. -- want | :04:48. | :04:56. | |
tos some detail on that. We have some progress, but we do also have | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
that agreement that they are getting closer to deciding whether | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
it should be a yes or no question in the referendum, or whether there | :05:04. | :05:12. | |
should be a further question on greater powers. The UK and the | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
Scottish governments are asking the Scottish people for their views on | :05:15. | :05:25. | |
that. It is pretty clear where they need to find a resolution. | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
The administrators in charge of Rangers have given their first | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
assessment of the finances of the troubled football club. They said | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
they were hopeful that liquidation of the business could be avoided, | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
and revealed there had been several expressions of interest in the club. | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
Catriona Renton reports. It is now a two days since a | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
Rangers went into administration. This morning, players arrived at | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
the club's training ground still unsure about their futures. The | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
administrators now in charge of the club came to tell them as much as | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
they could from their investigation so far. Then, for the first time, | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
they held a press conference, taking questions but still looking | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
for answers. There will be some questions that I cannot answer | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
today. It is a very early stage of the process. It is our intention | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
that all answers to a relevant questions will be forthcoming over | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
time. They were able to reveal some extraordinary facts about a �24 | :06:26. | :06:35. | |
million lone that Rangers are received. It went through a parent | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
company. We have not good visibility on that. In addition, it | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
was assumed that in administration, Craig Whyte would have first call | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
on the assets of the club. But today, the administrator has said | :06:49. | :06:58. | |
that was now in doubt. But they did reveal that there had been several | :06:59. | :07:08. | |
:07:09. | :07:10. | ||
notes of interest in the club. We asked, where has all the money | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
gone and how much money has been put beyond the reach of the | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
administrators? That is something that we will lead to look into. We | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
have started the exercise but by a lot and a position to provide an | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
answer at this stage. The man at the centre of the storm, Craig | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
Whyte, was last seen outside the administrator's office in London. | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
Today, he kept out of the public eye. | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
Politicians have been expressing their support for Rangers and their | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
hope that the club will survive. But tonight their Old Firm rivals | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
Celtic hit out at claims by the First Minister that the Parkhead | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
club and other SPL teams cannot prosper without Rangers. In a | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
statement, Celtic said this was simply not true and the club had a | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
well-defined strategy, independent of the fortunes of any other club. | :08:00. | :08:09. | |
Steven Godden reports. Passionate views expressed on the | :08:09. | :08:18. | |
day that Rangers slipped into administration. Alex Salmond said | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
this... It is difficult for Celtic to do well unless there is | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
competition from Rangers. It is difficult for the Scottish leagues | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
to do well unless we have both sides of their old form. They | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
Celtic chief Executive it said this a... | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
We do not need Rangers in that respect. We have a robust stand | :08:44. | :08:54. | |
:08:54. | :09:03. | ||
alone strategy. Celtic have It is to everybody's benefit that | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
Rangers continue as a football club, regardless of what club you support. | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
I did not minute to suggest that Celtic's finances for anything | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
other than firmly stated and well- founded. That was a simple | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
misunderstanding. The row highlights the sensitivities in | :09:21. | :09:31. | |
:09:31. | :09:32. | ||
addressing Rangers' applied. -- plight. There are convincing | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
grounds for seeing Rangers as a special case. In terms of their | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
stature in Scottish football and also their wider place as an | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
important institution of Scottish culture. A bit we should be treated | :09:46. | :09:56. | |
:09:56. | :09:58. | ||
as anybody else. -- I think. most significant opinion is still | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
to be delivered, the outcome of the tax tribunal. | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on the | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
programme. Could new licensing rules make it | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
too expensive to run small-scale arts events? | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
In sport. More implications of Rangers' administration. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
And they're at it again - the First Division strugglers who only seem | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
to turn it on in cup competitions. All that to come. | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
He's one of the country's best- known comedians and the surviving | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
member of a partnership that dominated our televisions in the | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
'70s and '80s. Today, Edinburgh- born Ronnie Corbett was at | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
Buckingham Palace to receive an honour from the Queen in | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
recognition of more than 60 years in showbusiness. Gavin Walker | :10:40. | :10:50. | |
reports. I have got a picture of home, we | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
were all sitting there. I was so small I could only have one measles | :10:56. | :11:06. | |
:11:06. | :11:11. | ||
at a time. Ronnie Corbett is a giant of British entertainment. | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
Today, that status was recognised by the Queen as she made him a | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
Commander of the British Empire. She is a amazing for her age. | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
Standing there doing all these jobs, handing out these awards, full of | :11:25. | :11:33. | |
energy and sparkle. Probably grew up in Edinburgh. His performance | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
career began in 1950. But it was his work with Ronnie Barker for | :11:37. | :11:47. | |
:11:47. | :11:56. | ||
which he became best known. Four Candles. Fork handles. | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
Even if that kind of comedy is not to your taste, he is very | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
accomplished at it. He knows what he is doing. He has got a very | :12:05. | :12:13. | |
genial, pleasant style. People remember very fondly the monologues | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
he used to do. 52 years after starting his career, he remains as | :12:18. | :12:28. | |
:12:28. | :12:32. | ||
popular here as ever where ever I think he is wonderful. I they | :12:32. | :12:40. | |
could do with more people like him. He is a good advert for Scotland. | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
Ronnie Corbett left his investiture ceremony today with his daughters | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
and his medal. A man who has towered over British entertainment | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
for more than 50 years. Police investigating the abduction | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
and murder of the financial adviser, Lynda Spence, have confirmed that | :12:57. | :13:07. | |
:13:07. | :13:07. | ||
they are searching a field in North Ayrshire. The 28-year-old has not | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
been seen since last April when she left her parents' house in Glasgow | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
Harbour. Police said a field in the Law Hill area of West Kilbride was | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
being searched in connection with the case. In November, four men | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
were charged with Lynda Spence's abduction and murder. Her body has | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
not yet been found. Artists and community groups are | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
claiming that changes to local licensing laws could mean events | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
and exhibitions being scrapped. From April, some small events will | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
need to be licensed by councils, but there's confusion and concern | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
over how the new rules are being put into practice. Here's our local | :13:33. | :13:43. | |
:13:43. | :13:46. | ||
government correspondent Jamie Here we have a hard work from the | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
1950s. This morning runs a sewing studio | :13:51. | :14:00. | |
and Cathy. She picked on our exhibitions. If this constitutes an | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
exhibition, this is what you are faced with. I do not know how | :14:05. | :14:12. | |
legislation will affect me. These are temporary exhibitions. Do I | :14:12. | :14:19. | |
need a temporary licence or permanent? Here is why unlicensed | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
entertainment is taken seriously. On the day of the royal wedding, | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
this legal party descended into chaos. Changes to the law means | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
free events need a licence from April. It seems councils are | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
interpreting the law in different ways. We do not know where we stand. | :14:42. | :14:49. | |
We did not want this and advise the Government against it. The | :14:49. | :14:58. | |
Government say this is deregulated. This row is an example of what some | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
see as a bigger problem. Regulation is being enforced in different ways | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
in different periods. One group, meet claims businesses have to fill | :15:09. | :15:18. | |
out different forms, he charges and get different advice. People have | :15:18. | :15:26. | |
to comply with different sets of regulations. We argue that people | :15:26. | :15:33. | |
should have to say it -- well in the same forms. There could be | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
relief for this woman. Next week, Glasgow council courts to find the | :15:38. | :15:48. | |
:15:48. | :15:49. | ||
way of ensuring this is not stopped. Scottish and Southern Energy | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
renewables has applied to build Scotland's biggest ever scheme. | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
An Aberdeen care home has stopped taking new admissions after a | :16:00. | :16:09. | |
complaint about staffing levels was upheld by Kieran spectres. | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
Ballot papers have been sent to voters and a referendum on plans to | :16:15. | :16:23. | |
transform the centre. Supporters say it will help the screen -- the | :16:23. | :16:33. | |
City survive after oil. A row has broken out in Orkney Islands | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
Council over expenses claimed by Stephen Hagen. He has been claiming | :16:38. | :16:45. | |
an accommodation allowance from his own house. | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
Or so's cold water surfing competition has been withdrawn | :16:51. | :17:01. | |
:17:01. | :17:04. | ||
after a sponsor pulled out. Motorists in Dumfries and Galloway | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
are taking the hump over speed bumps. Some were so badly worn they | :17:10. | :17:19. | |
are doing damage to cars. Keepers at a Highland Wildlife Park | :17:19. | :17:26. | |
were struggling to find a mate for a polar bear. He is too closely | :17:26. | :17:36. | |
:17:36. | :17:41. | ||
related to most captive polar bears to mate. | :17:41. | :17:51. | |
:17:51. | :17:51. | ||
Here is the sport. The problems at Rangers. An | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
admission by the administrator places a huge question mark over | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
the club's ability to play next season. | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
The management team arrived this morning as normal but it was far | :18:07. | :18:15. | |
from normal morning. They had meetings with administrators. No | :18:15. | :18:24. | |
redundancies will be made at this time. The players were glad to have | :18:24. | :18:33. | |
a meeting. This was their first opportunity to speak to | :18:33. | :18:43. | |
:18:43. | :18:44. | ||
administrators. Much remains to be decided in the short term for the | :18:44. | :18:54. | |
:18:54. | :19:03. | ||
club. Further ahead, there is The uncertainty continues as | :19:03. | :19:08. | |

has overturned it. Ayr United Borat It Again, knocking | :19:31. | :19:39. | |
a full-time team out of a cup competition. They have reached the | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
last eight of the William Hill Scottish Cup. They beat Falkirk | :19:42. | :19:50. | |
last night. All we are second top of the | :19:50. | :20:00. | |
:20:00. | :20:21. | ||
division. Ayr United are at the rasping shot. Alcott appealed for a | :20:21. | :20:31. | |
:20:31. | :20:35. | ||
penalty. They did not get one. Ayr United did get a penalty. The end | :20:35. | :20:44. | |
result was much more clear cut. Air United could have increased their | :20:44. | :20:54. | |

Some people have cruise liners named after them. I cannot think of | :21:09. | :21:17. | |
people who have buses named after them. Paul Lawrie is unveiling a | :21:17. | :21:25. | |
coach. He says he is playing the best golf of his life. It would be | :21:26. | :21:35. | |
nice. I have not played there since It is not a big call to get into | :21:35. | :21:44. | |
that tournament. Especially if I am going to qualify for the Cup team. | :21:44. | :21:52. | |
