There was never any doubt that Honest Dave King would be ordered to make an £11m offer to minority shareholders in Newco Rangers after an enforcement today by the Takeover Appeals Board.
King’s counsel claimed he was “penniless” and unable to make good on the offer, which is a legal requirement on any individual or individuals acting in concert, acquire 30% of a company. I initially considered it was unlikely that many shareholders would accept the 20p price, but the Sinking Ship Scenario is in play. This may be shareholders last chance to recover any investment in Rangers Mark II.
Of course, none of this would have happened if they stuck with the Easdales and Mike Ashley, or Charles Green and Mike Ashley, of anyone else who was able to employ a Nomad or attract tens of millions of pounds investment. But glib and shameless Geppetto wanted control and he pulled all the right strings.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the game tomorrow.

IMATIM sorry to hear about your mum passing. A sad day for you and your family. Remember the good times.
Take care of yourselves and your families.
Good morning CQN from a damp, mild and overcast East Devon.
It’s pump the Sheep day Celtic. Bah! Bah! Bah!
Notable absentees from the squad v PT:
De Vries
Bitton
Simunocvic
Anyone got any news on whether each were injured or rested?
NEIL LENNON & MCCARTNEY
Simunovic is fit for today after a wee injury kept him out on Wednesday
No idea about Bitton.
Suspect De Vries is fed up and wants away. My opinion only.
PHILBHOY on 23RD DECEMBER 2017 7:32 AM
Thanks for the reply. I thought De Vries recently signed an extension to contract, but maybe that means nothing!
Neil Lennon and McCartney.
Bitton was injured too. He is also expected to be available too.
Don’t know about Dorus.
Hail Hail
Big Packy.
A most unpleasant experience.
Well done on saving your dogs.
I hope you all recover from the trauma that must have caused.
Hail Hail
Big Packy,
What a traumatic experience for your ” fur babies” and yourself.
Unfortunately this type of occurrence is only too frequent. Irresponsible dog owners must feel the full force of the law.
On a slightly differing topic : At this time of year especially, my thoughts and prayers go out to those of us in need : for whatever reason.
If Celtic Can bring some pleasure, enjoyment and relief into our lives then so much the better.
HH to all and COYBIG.

BIG PACKY
Good news mate! Have you got the claw hammer yet?
When I was 8, while delivering the Catholic papers, I was attacked by an alsation dog (it must’ve bin a hun!)
I ended up in the Royal in Glasgow and subsequently had problems with the bites healing properly.
As a consequence I was terrified of dogs, all dogs!
My wee Mammy then took me to a pet shop in the Saltmarket where she bought me…………………an alsation pup!
Soon got over my fear!
Mammies are so sensible!
Off out!
Morning, WEET WEET WEET, just reading back and saw your post, don’t know how you manage mate , cos if it was me a would fold , my wife is also my best friend. JIMMY NOT PAUL, said yesterday about his wife saying would you rather be right or happy!

WEEBAWBABITTY . cheers mate thanks for asking. seem ok this morning one. little frankie has got puncture wounds so just about to go out to the vets catch you all later.hh.
Morning all
Leftbackagain. Hope and pray your mum is on the mend soon.
Huge game today. Have to admit that for one of the few times since we returned to Celtic Park in 95 I would not be surprised if we do not beat the Dons. They have had the odd win in that time but I cannot think of them drawing a game at Celtic Park. We are not playing that well – patches of games are good but mostly we have looked stale and predictable since the last International break. So Aberdeen might leave with something.
I would not say I am pessimistic – I think it will be a good match- but this may not be the usual procession our matches with our Ovine living rivals often are

Sorry, I think I posted this on the wrong thread earlier.
There’s never a good time to deal with bereavements and illness but Christmas is a sore one. Prayers and thoughts for all affected on here. Today, Leftbackagain and Imatim. Best wishes.
Gordon, Lustig, Jozo, Ajer, KT, Brown, Ntcham, Armstrong Forrest, Sinclair, Dembele
I know I shouldn’t get annoyed but sometimes I can’t help it.
Smooth radio sports news all morning.
“Celtic will have their lead cut to 2pts IF they lose to Aberdeen today. ”
Hurting hun behind that me thinks.
Leftbackagain, Prayers said for your Mammy,
Best of Luck to all CQN’ers troubled by illness & bereavement at this time of year.
Good Luck to Big Packy taking on 2 Pit Bulls to rescue his wee dugs an extremely brave act.
In my opinion Celtic have been operating at 60/70 % of capabilities for some weeks. They do need to make a big step up in form today and I believe they will.
Today is the day that we regain our swagger.
!!BADA BING!! on 23RD DECEMBER 2017 10:04 AM
I’d like to see that team with the exception of Boyata for Simunovic. Simunovic doesn’t want to be here, and it’s beginning to show in his recent poor performances. For all the abuse Boyata gets he is defensively solid, it’s his passing that lets him down. With Ajer beside him he can give him the ball and let him pass or run out of defence, leaving him to man mark their striker.
Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me,
Celtic, Celtic on to victory,
They’re the finest team in Scotland, I’m sure you will agree,
We’ll never give up till we’ve won the cup and the Scottish football league
They come from bonnie Scotland, they come from county Cork,
They come from dear old Donegal and even from New York,
From every street in Glasgow they proudly make their way,
To a place called dear old paradise and this is what they say.
Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me,
Celtic, Celtic on to victory,
They’re the finest team in Scotland, I’m sure you will agree,
We’ll never give up till we’ve won the cup and the Scottish football league.
There’s Fallon, Young and Gemmell who proudly wear the green,
There’s Clark, McNeill and Kennedy the best there;s ever been,
Jim Johnstone, Murdoch, Chalmers, John Divers and John Hughes,
And sixty thousand Celtic fans who proudly shout the news.
Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me,
Celtic, Celtic on to victory,
They’re the finest team in Scotland, I’m sure you will agree,
We’ll never give up till we’ve won the cup and the Scottish football league.

We got a cat from that very petshop, stone mad it was.
Used to run the length of the living room and leap onto the wall digging it’s claws into the anaglypta
wallpaper, then sliding down the wall as if in slow motion.
Stone mad it was CSC
A very Hoopy Birthday to wee Jay Beattie !!!!
