As such a 'moonbeam' is a piece of pro-rangers spin that emanates from Murray himself, the Ibrox pressroom or shoddy journalism. The £700m for a new stadium is considered such because Murray international holdings can't even guarantee the ~£600m debt they're in, never mind double that amount on what is a risky project to say the least.

Ahhhh, I thought it was something do do with those moonbeams charity sweets. They are called moonbeams aren't they?
