Blogging on the move right now but want to pass comment on one part of the statement by Aberdeen chairman, Stewart Milne. As he confirmed his club would place the fifth and decisive vote against Sevco being allowed access to the SPL next season he said:
“Reorganisation of the game is a priority and is something we have been actively involved in for a long time, but it is not something that should be rushed through just to deal specifically with one club.
“As we have indicated there are a number of other areas that we feel need to be addressed openly in the coming period if Scottish football fans are to feel that their views have been properly taken into account.”
Those well-paid executives who work for us and on Friday met to discuss a way to reorganise the league structure in the next couple of weeks should pay heed. As Mr Milne suggests, we are the game, not you.

You sound very confident?
===================================
I would say it’s 50-50. For no other reason than this – look to the facts. There are too many variables for them. There is no income. They have no team.
It is going to take a year to sort out the mess and then some.
The best shot any of them have now is to start preparing to build an alternative fan based club which is completely, totally apart from Ibrox, Murray Park Open Prison, any of the current squad or management. An FC Glasgow of Rangers if you like.
I hope they don’t wake up to that fact any time soon, although looking at the prominent people who would be at the forefront of such a move even that could be hilarious to watch.
Whatever SFL league they might be offered they are at present unable to comply with conditions of registration.
By the way where to Queens Park play home games now? Are they still at Hampden?
Imagine there’s no Rangers
it’s easy if you try
No Snow Whyte
to help them.
They don’t get owt from SKY
Imagine all the people
On their knees to pray
Imagine there’s no Rangers
it isn’t hard to do. Nothing to
kill or die for And no religion too
Imagine ” We are the Peepo”
Never sung again.
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
In the world where there’ll be no Rangers

Che – I’m too thick to be cryptic. More craptic. A genuine question – do they still play there? One assumes they can open a part of the main stand to let the punters in.
The rest is pure supposition on my part!
If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, are rangers still dead?

To be honest im not 100% sure but as far as Im aware QP do still play there on alternate Saturdays, there is the option then should it ever be needed for a ground share, say for any new club being formed?

“Labour’s Ken Livingston promised to make London a ‘Hub of Islam’,if he was victorious in the Mayoral Elections.. ”
It is getting tiresome correcting your repeat of second hand misinformation. Do you ever research original source information or just read the distorted headline accompanying them.
1) The phrase used was a “beacon for Islam”. So far as that change goes, you can stll distort it to make KL sound like the Taliban.
2) Unfortunately, The Torygraph which broke the story and introduced the distortion, represents the Tory party in its Stupid Party traditions. You’ll never believe what they did in trying to spin this headline and this story?? They ran the original video of KL making the statement in a speech in London during the election and that video is still on the Torygraph site to this day.
3) If you have an appetite for original source research, rather than recirculated myth, you can hear Ken Livingstone utter the phrase that he wants London to become a “beacon for Islam”, he wants non-Islamic Londoners to be a beacon of tolerance towards Islam and not swallow the myths of the right wing press about this mainstream religion.
4) Only a truly distorted mind could translate a plea for tolerance and understanding as a desire to promote Islamisation of London. Only the bigots could equate respect for a religion with advocacy of its supremacy.
TSD- School Report- must try harder to be original and not copy work.
Off to work now.
Nice try Mr Keevins. As I recall when we were kids, when playing ‘hidey’ and you were ‘it’, calling out “come out, come out wherever you are, the games a bogey”. Only the stupid kids ever came out.
PL isn’t stupid. He is quite happy to let Unholy Mess FC die all by themselves.
Actually, I don’t doubt that PL has been very busy indeed behind the scenes. But publicly, it’s got nothing to do with Celtic. They’ve done all the hard work themselves.
Truthfully, HMRC have done a splendid job too. Tax money well spent I think (not a phrase you’ll hear from a certain empty space with a padlock on the gate).
So long, farewell…
Options are SFL1 not likely SFL3 possible SFA ban for a year or as time is ticking they take a year out! When they organise who do they then kick out the league structure?
Whither the cash strapped scrofulous New Hillbillies the day?

Thanks for sharing my confidence.
Good luck to Mairi and the rest of her classmates who are graduating today. She has worked hard to achieve her goals and she has made her old man very proud (or a proud man very old!).
And due acknowledgement must go to St Kessog’s PS in Balloch and to OLSP for their substantial contributions to Mairi’s success ( and that of her siblings).
It’s a great day, my only regret is that none of her grandparents will be there.
One of my favourite quotes from the Aberdeen fans “Hun book of condolences”.
“Get it right up ye the following people: David Murray, Barry Ferguson, Sandy Jardine, John Greig, Derek Johnstone, Sally McCoist, Donald Findlay, The Scottish Mainstream Media, The Daily Record, Ian Paisley, Jonny Adair, The town of Larkhall, all Rangers fans in the Bar Continental Barrow, The corrupt fatcats in the banking industry who lent them the money, everyone at Ibrox who ever sang ‘Simply the Best’ when it was all built on cheating and financial doping, Walter Smith, Nacho Fecking Novo, Ian Ferguson, Advocaat and Ricksen, Gordon Smith and every glory hunting weapon going. For once, the cheats, bigots and shady Masonic businessmen have not prospered- thanks to us, Hearts, Hibs, Utd etc. JUSTICE! STAND FREE! “
3) If you have an appetite for original source research, rather than recirculated myth, you can hear Ken Livingstone utter the phrase that he wants London to become a “beacon for Islam”, he wants non-Islamic Londoners to be a beacon of tolerance towards Islam and not swallow the myths of the right wing press about this mainstream religion.
………….
In the same speech, did he also call for Islamic Londoners to show tolerance to non Islamic Londoners?
BTW
i do believe there is a helluva lot prejudice to Muslims (and people assumed to be Muslims) by many people, but it is down to the actions of a very small minority of people purporting to be Muslim. In much the same way as there was a lot of hostility to the Irish, due to the actions of a very small minority during the terror campaign of the PIRA.
Live and let live with try to get on with each other!
I have been getting told the same as what Tom said @ 8.24 since early April by somebody who would know.
They were never slithering out of this

===============
THE news the Crown Office has ordered a Procurator Fiscal backed police probe into Craig Whyte’s takeover of Rangers, should stop the SFA and SPL in their tracks.
And lead to all the clubs who have been railroaded by spiteful bigots into turning on Rangers, to seek the very best legal advice possible.
Whether or not all of the above happens depends on the bravery and intelligence of chairmen at Aberdeen and all the other outfits who want to exile Rangers from the top flight.
And it also relies on the competence of those who hold the reins of power within the Scottish Football Association and the Scottish Premier League.
It may even make Peter Lawwell’s Hampden pal, SFA chief executive Stewart Regan, examine the sanity of waltzing off on holiday to Tuscany when all of this is breaking like a breached damn which is drowning Scottish football.
It may even prompt the SPL chief executive, Neil Doncaster, to give himself a boot up the backside, contact Regan, demand that he return to Hampden, gather all the clubs together and explain the new facts of life to them.
These brutal facts, now in the public domain, courtesy of the Crown Office, have been coming for weeks and the announcement from the Crown Office was no surprise to me.
Let me make some things clear about this investigation into allegations of fraud.
This is not an ordinary run-of-the-mill police probe. It is one which they have been ordered to undertake by the Crown Office.
Therefore the weight of evidence which Scotland’s most senior lawyers must have studied, clearly suggests the probability of criminality.
The investigation is also beyond what is normal, in that the Crown Office has instructed the Procurator Fiscal to join forces with the police to look into every nook and cranny of what went on when Craig Whyte paid David Murray a quid for Rangers in May 2011.
It is almost inconceivable that no charges will follow. With Craig Whyte the most likely to have the bracelets snapped on.
Should that happen and should Craig Whyte be convicted for perpetrating a fraud in order to gain control of Rangers, then all of the actions undertaken by Craig Whyte in the name of Rangers, from May last year until February 14th of this year, will have had nothing to do with Rangers.
The sporting integrity which all those clubs and their fans seek to protect, will not have been broken by Rangers.
It is Craig Whyte and Craig Whyte alone who will be guilty of having withheld PAYE from HMRC belonging to employees of a company which he did not own.
Therefore, Rangers will have owed HMRC nothing and there would have been no need to place them in administration. And without that period of administration, Rangers would not now be in the process of being liquidated.
And as sure as night follows day, that means there would be no NewCo. It is so logical it would be laughable were others not be able to grasp its logic.
The logic is, nothing that has happened since May 2011 would have happened.
Not if Craig Whyte had not bought Rangers.
Therefore, if Craig Whyte is found to have perpetrated a fraud in order to buy Rangers, then nothing which has happened to Rangers since May 2011 will have been the fault of Rangers.
One Rangers supporting pal, a man who holds a senior position inside the boardroom of one of Scotland’s most iconic companies, has long raged against the demands from the club’s enemies that Rangers should apologise.
His reasoning is simplicity itself. Why should Rangers apologise for the sins of a man who broke into the club, raped the club and then made off into the night?
He is right. Morally. And if Craig Whyte is found guilty of fraud he will also be right, legally.
And any evil, vindictive and bigoted attacks and vengeance visited on Rangers by other clubs, by the SPL and by Stewart Regan and Peter Lawwell’s SFA could see those clubs, along with the SFA and SPL, mired deep in a legal and financial minefield.
Which could break those clubs, sink the SPL and send the Scottish Football Association of Peter Lawwell and Stewart Regan into a tailspin. Taking Celtic and the Scotland national team with it.
For, on Craig Whyte’s conviction for fraud, Rangers would then be able to seek recourse to the Court of Session for loss of income due to penalties imposed on the club by the SPL and the SFA on the say-so of clubs.
And all for offences committed in their name by a man who had no legal standing as far as the Rangers name was concerned.
Of course for the good fight to be fought and won, it will need someone of greater stature, deeper intelligence, and more commitment to the cause than snake oil salesman Charles Green and his cohort, money man, Micky McDonald.
Will someone step forward and take up the challenge?
The prize for any strong willed, intelligent and committed man is great. It is the long lasting and deep gratitude of every Rangers supporter throughout the world.
Who will step up and pay?
From today’s Daily Ranger
”Rangers in crisis: Fraud Squad launch probe into Craig Whyte’s Ticketus deal during takeover
Jun 25 2012 By Keith McLeod
FRAUD squad officers were yesterday ordered to probe disgraced Craig Whyte’s takeover of Rangers…….
In February, he (Craig Whyte) said: “I have absolutely nothing to fear because any fair investigation will prove that I have always acted in the best interests of Rangers and been involved in no criminal wrongdoing whatsoever.”
He also said the Daily Record’s original exclusive on his Ticketus deal was “99 per cent crap”.
#######
Except Whyte didn’t say that.
What he actually said was
“I’m aware of a website that has dedicated itself to talking about our tax case,” said Whyte of a site that claims to be in the know about Rangers’ financial affairs and regularly predicts a new kind of Armageddon for the club.
“I’ve looked at it. What they’re saying is 99 per cent crap.”
http://www.scotsman.com/sport/interview-craig-whyte-owner-of-rangers-fc-1-
1692864
The 99% crap quote was directed at the RangersTaxCase blog, not the Daily Ranger. The interview was published on 18th June 2011. The Daily Ranger’s story on the Ticketus deal was published in January 2012.
Is it an an indication of their incompetence or their mendacity that they attempt to misrepresent things like this?
Lee Wallace has told Rangers it will be business as usual when he returns to training on Thursday.
The left back told Chief Executive Charles Green yesterday there is no question of him leaving Ibrox and he will report back for pre-season training at Murray Park later this week.
How funny is this considering rangers still owe hearts £800,000 for him. The huns love a bit of irony…
ernie lynch
It is the daily ranger! Why are you even trying to apply logic and honesty to anything they do.
So the sheepies are taking the credit for hammering the final nail into ranglers spl hopes. They certainly seem to be enjoying the moment.
The Aberdeen -“hun book of haw haw condolences” is hilarious!
Pleeease tell me it’s true that the BBC had an interview with Green this morning but had a small clip of Trigger’s Broom before he came on.
