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.

Regarding the changing of the rules to sharing gate monies.
Can they really do this?
Does this not go against working practises.
Has Gazza appeared yet?
What a glorious day and hearty congratulations to Paul67, RTC and others for getting the truth out there.
I’m on holiday at the moment in the South of France so can really enjoy the bottle of fizz I have chilling in the fridge. Before I do I will go for run that takes me past the villa Minty owns down here. I pass it towards the end of my run when I’m usually flagging. Not tonight. I will bound past it like a spring lamb wearing the biggest grin on the Cote d’ Azure.
Today is a victory for Celtic Football Club, Celtic Supporters and indeed, Scottish football in general. It is also a victory for good over evil and right over wrong.
Today the good guys won.
Enjoy your evening all.

Motherwell Supporters Trust have already stated no to Newclub.
Motherwell have become the first club to react to the news that Rangers will be liquidated after failing to agree a CVA out of administration.
The Lanarkshire club said it would canvass supporters and stakeholders in the club before coming to a decision on how to treat a ‘newco’ Rangers and its attempts to enter the SPL.
A spokesman for the board at Motherwell FC said: “The Board is very aware of implications of all scenarios and will consider them in detail when all the information we need is at our disposal.
“We regard the sustainability of the club and the integrity of the sport as inter-linked. We have a duty to act in the interests of our club and we hope these can be reconciled with the interests of the game.
“It really is more important than ever that all Motherwell fans continue their fantastic support of our club.”
Supporters of a number of SPL teams have lobbied their clubs to state their intentions when it comes to a vote on ‘newco’ Rangers. A vote of eight to four by the SPL members is required to approve immediate entry to the country’s top league.
To absent friends…..Hail Hail
How can a company that no longer exists have a vote in an organisation they used to be a member of?
I think a lawyer is gonna get some money out of that this
The SPL have told BBC Scotland’s ace reporter Alasdair Lamont that Rangers will be in the SPL fixture list when it is issued on Monday and Rangers will have a vote when the SPL clubs decide on a newco Rangers being admitted to Scotland’s top league.
rangers get to decide if they stay in the SPL. Only in Scotland…
Thursday will be a moment in history…..second only to Lisbon. (in my opinion)
hh
Sportsound is on Shortbread tonight @ 6.10
With all the quiet dignity I can muster, I’d just like to say,
GIRUY!!!!
Not being funny…
When Newco Huns get the knock back from SPL .. It is being assumed they will enter 3rd Division….
Are there other teams who have a much more credible history who may also have a case to be considered?
How can they vote when they don’t have a valid licence as an SPL club,they are dead?
Dad, I hope you’re having a wee party as you and all your pals look down on us all!
WE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rangers still exists … for a while anyway. It is still an SPL club in the short term.
IMO a cert that the fixtures won’t be announced on Monday.
I`ll be having a concillatory beer with my big Rangers mate tonight, timing or what? He wants the newco and all the old history/bigotry washed away, always has done.He`ll still be a bit sore , so tomorrow I will get the cigars out, been of them for a few weeks ,waiting on this.
Well, thanks to SKY+ I am now watching the last ever Celtic V Rangers game. Well, I’m soaking up the pre match discussions from Neal and Charlie first.
Ah, nostalgia – can buy it in bottles…

Anybody checked on Chick Young recently..?
HaHaHa Happy Liquidation Day!!!
To paraphase John Cleese:
They’ve passed on! They are no more! They have ceased to be!
Expired and gone to meet their maker!
They are stiffs!
Bereft of life, resting in peace, pushing up the daisies!
Their metabolic processes are now ‘istory!
They’ve kicked the bucket, shuffled off their mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisibile!!
RFC IS AN EX-FITBA TEAM!!

Not only do EPL clubs keep 100% of their home gates so do all of the clubs in the Football League AND so do the clubs in the SFL.
Been trying since I got here to get a reception and until now I hadn’t been able to. Please, please God let it be so.
To the several CQN Bhoys who have bombarded my phone with texts and updates, many thanks!!!
Our day has come….
This could be para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
This could be para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

If I’m honest I always harboured doubts that Rangers would be liquidated but now that its happened my emotions are a little muddled.
I’m moved by the posters who’ve remembered their deceased fathers and relatives and I’m also at one with those who highlighted the new direction in this affair where the criminality will be investigated and those responsible pursued and held to account.
Now that I’ve mellowed (in years) I seek no vengeance, I’ll just raise my glass to Celtic supporters, past and present, and wish that justice will be done.
Cheers.
Super sally saying..
“every rangers fan demands to know who H is,who M is,who R is and who C is..absolutely..absolutely”
What a great day in Devon, never
Thought I would see the day.
Wish my Dad was here to revell
In this joyous occasion.
Hail! Hail!

Added to the fact that tickets for Celtic Park are much more expensive than tickets for most other clubs we will be doubly punished.
A quick analysis of last season’s attendances showed that we had an overall average home attendance of 50,904 but an average overall attendance (inc away games) dropped to 32,494.
Total home attendances = 967,176
Total away attendances = 267,631
Assume each ticket costs £25
Under current arrangements £25 x 967,176 = £24.2m
Under proposals where we might have to split money we will get £12.1m from home games plus £3.35m from away games so a shortfall of £8.75m per year.

more dodgy SPL dealings or simple internet bampotery?

Weatherseal transfer window now open
WEATHERSEAL TRANSFER WINDOW OPENS AS SCOTTISH PREMIER LEAGUE SECURES FIRST MAJOR SUMMER SIGNING!
Weatherseal Home Improvements Ltd (Weatherseal) and the Scottish Premier League (SPL) today announce an exclusive partnership which sees Weatherseal become the league’s “official home improvement partner”.
Launched on the first day of business after the transfer window opened on Saturday, Weatherseal is the SPL’s first big signing of the summer after a significant undisclosed six figure deal was unanimously rubber stamped by the twelve SPL clubs.
The SPL’s new partner aims to engage with clubs, players, supporters and the media alike to support and promote Scottish football in a highly proactive fashion.
Weatherseal is owned by none other than Brian “Quantum” Kennedy is it not?
Surely Doncaster couldn’t be so stupid?
What I’m excitedly anticipating is Lawwell and co revealing their hand. I think they have played a blinder so far allowing the Huns to hang themselves when it must have been so tempting to lend a hand to accelerate their demise.
I don’t think for one minute they have been idle. Lawwell is many things .. Stupid isn’t one of them.
Remember Ally’s vthinly vielled threats to sort out those who were kicking Huns when they wee down? Funny , eh?
The War is over…..
The Internet Bampots have won…
Mr.Charles Green must be very disappointed tonight as he had HMRC agreeing to his deal a week a go now they appear to have gone back on there word ? or is it the case Charles was bumming his chat to keep the bears onside ? H.H.
Paul67

Hail Hail

I assume that there will still be a legal challenge from Dave King to the transfer of share. If so, it begs the question who will be at the SPL meeting on Monday.
If King is serious, he will be seeking an interdict/injunction against any share transfer on the basis that the shares were promised to him by Craig Whyte. That in turn will start a legal argument which could go on for the whole of next season.
And beyond…………
Wife is refusing to put on the sexy undies, I’m afraid my affair with my fridge will have to continue.
Paul, as you may remember I’ve been ‘copying’ and saving all your posts on this theme since Monday 13th. Feb. What a day for you to break the 70,000 word barrier!
I particularly empathise with your exhortation to raise a glas to those past Celtic fans who never lived (and would never have believed) to see this day of days. I just know my own dad is smiling down from above with his big cheesy grin.
Dave King : “There is, in my view, no possibility that Green (as nominee for whoever) will ever own the club.”
LET THE REAL FUN BEGIN
Can anyone explain a new strange craze that seems to have caught on here with my neighbours. They all seem to be out cutting the grass (aggressively) while wearing headphones, I wonder if any other CQNr’s have noticed this new fad.
