A NUMBER of ex-Rangers stars face huge bills this year after failing to agree a deal with the taxman over the controversial EBT scheme.
More than £47million was paid to Gers stars, managers and directors between 2001 and 2010 by Murray Group, owned by ex-chairman Sir David Murray.

And last summer HMRC won a judgment over the Ibrox club’s use of loans to pay staff in a tax avoidance scheme.
Former Ibrox aces were due to agree a repayment plan with HMRC by April 5 but it is understood some missed the cut-off.
And Daily Record reports that they could owe MILLIONS.
A source connected with the investigation told how the unpaid cash will now be lumped together into a tax bill which is due to end at the end of this tax year.

They said: “Some former players were quick to agree a deal with the taxman who has been very fair in sorting out repayment plans.
“But others involved in the EBT scheme believe it’s the club who are to blame for this and are reluctant to pay the tax.”
A UK spokesman said: “HMRC is committed to providing affordable payment arrangements and enhanced support more vulnerable customers may need.”
It is not known which former Gers figures face the bills.
