Neil Lennon was in no mood to pull his punches on the subject or Rangers alleged tax evasion for a period stretching over a decade at his press conference yesterday. Asked if winning this season’s SPL by less than Rangers 10 point penalty would devalue the achievement he said, “If we do win it and people want to throw that at me, I will have plenty to say about devalued titles over the years”.
Peter Lawwell strongly rebuffed suggestions that Celtic were in a mood to show solidarity with Rangers should they lose their tax tribunal early this week and Celtic marked the card of Rangers’ political schemer, Alex Salmond, who tried to tell the world how Celtic fans felt about the issue.
While Neil Lennon was keen to focus on tomorrow’s important SPL game against Hibernian, he dealt with questions on Rangers without flintching. Asked about “financial doping” he said, “doping is a sporting term for cheating”
Adding, “In athletics, if you are caught doping you are banned. Alberto Contador got stripped of his Tour de France win in 2010, so there are precedents.
“It’s all hearsay and hot air at the minute. I don’t want to comment on it until all the results and all the findings are out. But if it has had a direct effect on me in my playing days, I will come out and say something at that time. As it is now, it hasn’t been proved.
“They are in administration for a reason and I am sure you guys will get to the bottom of it. It’s not my business, not our club’s business, but it will be my business if it has affected me as a player, or previous managers, and has denied us titles and trophies in the past.”
Conspiracy theorists who have tried to convince the world that Celtic and Rangers have been involved in some mutual preservation pact in recent years will be forced to reflect on the accuracy and consequences of their confounded allegations. As always, our club will only prosper with unity. Persistent attempts to rip it apart will only cause further damage.

I thought there was a full house at ibrokes ?
I got the radio on but it’s eerily quiet.

Hun fans going bananans as half time whistle blown when they get a corner.
Another 45 mins of comedy please
Would Rangers FC(admin) kindly stop breaking this blog.
I’ve soiled masel. Shameful for a grown man but…..
Commentator or Rangers TV asking for the crowd to become “the twelfth…… I mean eleventh man.” Hilarious.
Rangers fans booing at half time whistle – boos and whistles ringing out – (shocker)
Killie fans “let’s all laugh at Rangers” :-)
Love to hear what the (amateur) psychologists are saying now!
HAHAHAHA!
Dear Kilmarnock, I don’t have time to reboot the server all day, please take it easy 2nd half.
I never knew Rangers TV could be so entertaining. If I’d known I’d have subscribed years ago…
Pissing myself laughing here….simply woeful…how low can rangers fall on and off the park!!!!!
In need of some entertainment, I decided to watch the rangers (in Administration) game. It took me ages to figure out that the commentary was supplied by rangers (in Administration (TV).
I honestly assumed it was BBC.
I couldn’t tell the difference.
It is entertaining, though….:)
so within the bounds of possibility ,what else can happen to Rangers ?
This is side splitting stuff
Unfortunately watching R*nkurs TV stream.
Half time they are showing pics from hun fans from around the world when it cuts to 4/5 guys in a bar, one of which is doing a Gasgoigne flute. No shame
Murderwell winning, could the day end with Well 6 behind them with a game in hand…
Just read this on FF

Please don’t sing the BB in the second half.

Based on the last weeks events and this comedy show today, anyone else slightly concerned we’re all dreaming?
Party seems to be going a bit awry doon at the big Hoose! PMSL!
GIRFUY!
Rob Maclean is absolutely brilliant at not hearing the sectarian singing, what a talent he is!
In times of change somethings never change.
I’m afraid there is no other way of saying this……..I nearly peed myself when the snyde pundit said
“KILMARNOCK ARE RUINING RANKERS’ PARTY”………..PAAARTY…..??????
HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa…..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least huns getting no “special treatment” & they are reverting to type i.e. THUGGERY.

Kilmarnock miss a sitter
How’d Sissoko miss???
That’s a blow Broadfoot off
Rangers TV talking of the efforts of fans abroad says ” Our old friend, Herman, in Argentina, has been very busy on our behalf”
Wonder if he arrived there in 1945

V
well thats Kerkar on, gona have to go commando now, no underwear left.
Paul67,
I am sure those old firm preservation conspiracy theorists will be the first to desist from their theorizing when they witness how Celtic plc handle any Newco proposals. If it is handled properly then I will be the first to tell them to desist. I do not find it unfair to say what Peter says and Celtic does often are two separate entities.
HH
What’s the latest with th Huns?
Honestly me and Jobo have been on Twitter trying to find out.
