Former Rangers owner Craig Whyte has admitted buying the club for £1 remains his biggest regret 10 years on.
Whyte bought out David Murray's majority shareholding for the paltry sum on May 6, 2011 - taking on the club's millions of debt in the process.
As part of the deal he used the Ticketus company to secure a loan set against future season ticket sales.
And despite the new owner promising a transfer kitty of £25million in the coming years, the club then plunged into administration followed by liquidation a year later.
Whyte was charged but then cleared of fraud allegations relating to that fateful day a decade ago - and he wishes he didn't bother now.
He told the BBC : "I thought it was a good opportunity to make a profit.
"It's hard to believe it is 10 years but I remember when I was first asked to have a look at it.
"It seemed like a good idea at the time but clearly it turned out not to be."
He might be despised by the Ibrox support now but Whyte maintains he didn't cause the club's financial slide.
"I don't believe I did anything wrong," he continued.
"I was not responsible for the build-up of tax debt that caused HMRC to pursue Rangers.
"I was the guy who was there when it went wrong but I wasn't the person who caused the problem.
"I should have been more open with the fans and the media.
"I should have disclosed the funding method on day one - by not doing that I gave the media and the fans ammunition to throw at me."
"I think it's fair to say that the whole experience, from start to finish, from walking into Ibrox on that first day, to being acquitted at the High Court, was the most traumatic experience of my life, for sure."
