Police Scotland pay out over £300,000 to ex-Rangers administrator over malicious prosecution POLICE Scotland has been forced to pay out over £300,000 over the malicious prosecution of one of the former administrators of Rangers in connection with the collapsed club fraud case.

Now it is understood that those legal costs to Mr Whitehouse were at around £225,000 - bringing the total he received to over £300,000.

Scotland’s former lord advocate has pushed back on “false and scandalous” attacks on him over the malicious prosecution of two Rangers FC administrators.
Paul Clark and David Whitehouse were awarded more than £20 million after charges brought against them in their 2014 indictment were dropped or dismissed.
After they were cleared, the pair launched a civil action against the Crown Office and Police Scotland, with the current Lord Advocate, James Wolffe QC, admitting liability last year.
