I took and made a few calls after the BBC broke the news about Rangers liquidation. So much to discuss, so many possibilities and so much uncertainty remains. Rangers are gone and whatever you think or hear about a Newco, it will be a shadow of the club Rangers were in the early 80s, never mind today. But still, we have plenty to focus on as we prepare for the enormous events that lie ahead.
I then took a call from my Dad who told me to forget about tomorrow. “This day is about history, about all the events over all the years”. How true.
My friends in Celtic, tonight raise a glass to Celtic fans past, who never lived to see how this Battle of the Ages ended, celebrate for each of them. Celebrate all of those league titles and cups you were denied which were ‘won’ illegally by Rangers over the last 14 years. Celebrate for every hard working man and woman in the country who pays their tax every month, no matter the hardship. This is a victory for all of us. LLLLLLLLLLLiquidation Day is here!
We’ll worry about how other clubs plan to get their hands on your money tomorrow.

Happy Liquidation day.
Rangers, like their songs and values, are now out of date.
I am most happy that they didn’t find a way out. The confirmation of them as the people would have been too much to take. But now the attempts at concealment and denial haven’t worked when they may have done in a previous time.
I think essentially, Rangers as they were, with their practises, handshakes and arrogance, couldn’t survive in a modern world.
The Alex Thommo Thompson blog is , in my humble opinion, just about the best peace of independent writing on this , ever.

As a mark of respect today I think that we should refrain from inserting the U when we wish to express the sentiment of GIRUY.

The Evening Times is having real difficulty in admitting that the Fat Lady has sung. Hardly a word on the bears demise.
Poor wee shame.
Wee Dawwell has been talked down from the window ledge and will be on SSB @ 6.
Ding Dong the witch is dead.
Firstly, sheer joy, and then thinking of those who never saw this day. Here’s to them.
Who knows what will happen tomorrow, to echo the final sentence of the article and I have speculated for weeks that there will be no thems next season. Whatever. It’s a lovely day.
Burley is a complete fool.

Are they dead yet ?
Commentator says ‘ref had his back to play and can’t give the foul’
Utter rubbish. Of course you can give a foul/penalty when your backs to the play.
What is it with these fools who know nothing about soccer

Only recently heard the news as I’ve been working all day- but the following is a spontaneous poem I have just wrote; it give an indication of how I feel about their “Visitation of Doom”.
Tonight we will make the most of all this magical merriment:
For Justice is a gift heaven sent,
& they’re dark time, their crimes, are gone & spent.
We’ve watched Karma bulldoze & destroy,
as it filled up our Jeroboam of Joy.
Usurping all of Yesterdays Sorrows
& Replacing them with endless celebrations
for all our Green & White Tomorrows.
With Grace & Patience did we wait,
Until the day Justice came galloping
in a Horse called “Liquidate”.
As the huns weep in their Tombs,
Tonight we will have Ice-Cream Parlours
in our Living Rooms-
Campari Nights are here:
Midori & Mosel Mornings, whispers of whisky,
lashings of lager & an abundance of beer.
With an Irish Jig & Scottish fling,
Let all the True People Sing.
Let Truths wings shine:
& a Paradise of festivity will commence,
as Nebuchadnezzar’s of wondrous wine
flow with generous licence-
In a Cocktail & Lemonade Dream
for Supper,
Followed by Vodka Jelly & Bailey’s Ice-Cream.
Now their dead & gone
All our tomorrows will be Champagne dawns:
Our Mentor, our Way,
Our modern day Balthazar, Our Paul,
Stand Strong, Stand Proud, Stand Tall-
For now I have an appointment
with Jim Beam, my great friend:
He awaits a toast,
with his mouth ready to utter: “To The End”.
Important note in Alex Thompsons blog.
6. Despite the Green consortium’s lofty statements about buying the club’s assets, there is no guarantee that they will in fact be bought up as a job lot. There is no guarantee about simply playing on at Ibrox. There are, as thing
s stand, few guarantees in terms of the asset sale at all.
Could these be sold for Supermarkets and housing to the highest bidder and not as a 5.5M job lot to Green.
Lovely evening here in North Ayrshire. Sun’s out; beer’s in. All’s right in the Celtic world. All we need now is for Samaras to pull things round for Ellas.
On Snyde, they really really dont get it.
Rangers 1872 – Good riddance, rot in Hell.
Uncle tims in full voice on Snyde. No REAL Celtic fan should bemoan the demise of the Huns.
It’s the dawning of the day. God rest those of the Celtic family who are no longer with us in body to savour this moment. Our day has come Bhoys YNWA.
Poured my first glass of wine tonight to celebrate this day and remember, grandparents, parents and friends who would have loved this day.
I put my wine in a special glass inscribed” to commemorate the centenary of Celtic fc 1888-1988″.
Cheers and Hail,Hail!
Green said in a statement: “I am hugely disappointed by the decision of HMRC not to support the CVA proposal and that disappointment will be felt acutely by Rangers fans across the world.”
He added: “I can understand HMRC deciding that football clubs which do not pay their taxes need to be punished.
“But by effectively banning Rangers from Europe for three years all that will happen is that there will be less revenue generated by the club and consequently less money paid over to the taxman.”
Confused …. How can you pay less than zero?
Here is to Paul 67, Phil Mac, Rangers Tax Case and all the rest of the troopers who have worked tirelessly to out the truth. To you all, hail hail!
