Ok, look, I despise Rangers and all that they stand for as much as the next man.
I feel equally about Celtic, so I have no bias there !
Speaking as a Scot, I'm ashamed that one of the first things any foreigner associates me with is any of the bile which comes from fans of both of these clubs.
It's very much in evidence everywhere on the internet, and brings nothing but shame to our country.
Personally I'd be happier if both of them disappeared.
However, let's look at your points.

Yes, they do.
Rangers football club still exists. The history is still there, the name is still there, but the company who ran Rangers do not exist.
Remember MG Rover went bust a few years back ?
MG Rover still exist. The company who ran it before don't, but the Chinese company bought the name, and the facilities and the right to trade under that name, exactly what Green has done with Rangers.
Indeed, the very same thing is happening right now with SAAB, it has recently been bought by a Chinese company who intend to make electric cars.
Hence, SAAB still exists
It could be a very shrewd move by Green, and if/when Rangers climb back, he surely stands to make a lot of cash.
I can see why the real Rangers fans are concerned about his motives.

Please explain to me, clearly and concisely,
exactly how Rangers failure to pay their taxes, and alleged financial dodgy dealings have affected any other club, or match.
Like them or not, Rangers position in Scottish football is down to onfield prowess. Backstage matters have little or no relevance to games.
Don't build up your hopes they'll be stripped of trophies and titles as some celtic fans seem to think. That'll never happen, since the impropriety wasn't a footballing matter.

Which clubs ?
Agreed, since the sh*t really hit the fan they haven't had the cash to pay a few organisations for services rendered, but such is always the way when any company goes bust.
Deprived of cash, yes. Cheated ? No.

On this one, I agree.
This whole saga is dragging on ad on, and is seriously tarnishing Scottish football. The simple act of going bust and restarting under different management cannot be enough, otherwise other similarly financially challenged clubs will follow suit, we don't want to make this an easy way out.

Yes, this is a concern.
Justice has to be seen to be done, not just in Scotland, but the world is watching, and justice must be seen to be done.
It is a concern that things might be being re-jigged, and fairness must be number 1.
Let us remember, Celtic were almost in this very position a few years back, and Hearts are being run on a shoestring, it could happen to any club
