In order to give a fuller picture of what the next few days could hold there is one useful piece of information but first a recap. Back in October I predicted the Cunning Ruse to liquidate Rangers and phoenix as a Newco. Then, when Duff and Phelps first invited offers to purchase Rangers assets we predicted only Craig Whyte’s proxy would be in a position to complete a deal.
Given the situation the proxy will inherit, one final prediction – based on some solid information:
The proxy hopes to start from the Third Division.
If Newco inherits Rangers share in the SPL and competes there next season it is liable for fines and penalties due from the SFA and SPL, including what will be the most severe censure handed out in the history of British football after the Improper Registration of Contracts issue is concluded. They will be hamstrung for many years, perhaps decades. They will also need to pay domestic and international football debts.
However, if the start from the Third Division, they do so without any legacy baggage from the old Rangers FC. This would allow Newco a predictable three year penury and allow them time to engage with supporters of Rangers before returning to the SPL in 2015. Season 2015-16 would be business as usual.
This is not a decision Bill Proxy can take, however, what happens to Newco is in the hands of the SPL. Listen out for Proxy’s puppets suggesting the Third Division route.
For us, it’s popcorn time, the ice-cream is stocked and the sparkling stuff is in the fridge, but in all seriousness, past, current and now future owners have absolutely trashed that football club. To paraphrase Tarantino, they’ve got medieval on their… face.
Pop! And they’re gone!

New away kit

The Pantaloon Duck,
That’s pretty much what I thought – on both counts!
Anyone organising the Birthday party?
6th of May will be one year since Craig Whyte CSC obtained his shareholding of 85.3% in rangers.
That has got to be worth celebrating!
Oh! rangers can withdraw from PLUS market on that date as it has been a year.

Loon Fung closed after the fire at steak and cherry fraid to say. HH.

If Craig Whyte CSC owns rangers, he owns ibrox and Murray park as well.
Where will the ‘Tennessee rangers’ be playing and training?
Oh dear….
Dark Mingwall backed the wrong horse, again, boy is he getting it right in his fat neck by the irate bears today.

New away strip should really have a white arm band.
Hail Hail
CELTIC Football Club is delighted today to unveil its new away kit, which will be modelled by Gary Hooper, Charlie Mulgrew and Kris Commons – the goalscoring heroes from Sunday’s win against Rangers – at the official launch at Lennoxtown today.
And as you can see, from this exclusive photograph on the official Celtic website (above), it´s another impressive Nike kit.
The 2012/13 season is set to be an extraordinary one, as Celtic Football Club, founded in 1888 will be celebrating its 125th anniversary. Nike has created special kits for this anniversary.
The away jersey is a modern classic, inspired by the club´s proud history. The jersey focuses on a contemporary design – it stays true to Celtic’s roots and is hooped, but in a more tonal way.
The hoops are coloured anthracite with black, giving the jersey a very contemporary and sophisticated look. The club crest is surrounded by a Celtic-knot work. The club’s Irish heritage is reflected with green, white and gold colour accenting on the sleeves and the socks which reflect Celtic’s strong Irish roots.
Celtic Chief Executive Peter Lawwell said: “We´re delighted with the new away kit for next season and we are sure it will be popular with our supporters. We very much look forward to celebrating our 125th year and the kits which have been developed are a fitting tribute to this milestone season.
“Once again, we would like to thank both Nike for their work in this regard and, of course, Tennent´s our shirt sponsor with whom we have enjoyed an excellent relationship and who have made such an important contribution to the club.”
Steve Annand, Commercial Managing Director for Tennent Caledonian Breweries, said: “As main club sponsor, with an almost 40-year association with Scottish football, we were proud to play our part in the development of the new home shirt and feel this new away kit will be another winner with the fans.
“We look forward to working with the club and the fans to mark Celtic’s 125th season, a great milestone in the club’s history.”
The new away kit goes on sale from May 31, 2012
I’ll never lose 2 Stone before then… :(

Their strip next seasonwill be memorable.
Stripped of 20 years worth of trophies.
Stripped of history.
Stripped of dignity.
“The hoops are coloured anthracite with black”
If only there was a song we could pen with a rhyme for anthracite …
HH ..
Bill Miller / Craig Whyte? The difference? The tax dodgers never learn..
The newco should be called Widemen of Govan FC
Let’s sit back and watch the show and watch Miller be elevated to status surpassing JP2..by the succulents
HH
It’s politicians who are boycotting, not the teams.
Surely it will be the Rangers Gone Away Kit!!!

Pfft. Teutonic Johnny-come-latelies.
Scotland have been boycotting major tournaments since 1998.
Bet they won’t boycott Bahrain. Easier to berate Slavic nations. (thumbsup)
poor old rangers can’t cut a break…
they can’t even fleece their mug fans for a third “european” away strip for another 3 years to bring in some additional revenue when their newco default on their strip selling deal.
I like the new away kit.
Jock tamson – How about a black tie away kit for the funeral?
No flowers. (thumbsup)
Like the style of the new away strip but that f”$*ing Tennents logo makes it look like a billboard for an awful drink that looks smells and tastes of horse P. If Rangers die does that mean that the sponsorship deal is over? Can we look for a more fitting sponsor such as Guniness, Aer lingus with the shamrock logo or my absolute fav for a Celtic top – Paddy Power – that has to be double thumbs up
Away strips
Ahhhh
It has been proven that teams who play in unfamiliar black away strips struggle when playing under floodlights
Alex fergehun said never again would man united have a black strip as players see their team mates less easy against back ground of stadium
Is it not about time the old Seville season away strip came back
Players if that season said it did help on euro away nights having teammates in bright away jerseys
We need a black away strip in Europe like a hole in the heid

With Billy Bob Boss Hogg now taking over at Aye Broke the orcs will be seen for what they are: a freakish amalgam of the Clampetts, the banjo playing rednecks in Deliverance, and the good ole boys in Mississppi Burning.
Mouth breathing banjo playing cross burning white trash.
Hyuk Hyuk Hyuk.
quick point…
can anybody actually see the green white and gold on the sleeves? i can see it on the socks, but the sleeves just look black/anthracite to me.
like the black tie idea by the way :-)
For BT
I see a crap strip and I want it painted black
No hun bears anymore I want them to turn black
I see the ghirls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until the darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they’re all coloured black
With flowers and the hun both never to come back
I see peeple turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newco born baby will not happen no way
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see the hun door and must have it painted black
For sure they’ll fade away and not have to face the facts
It’s not easy facin’ up when your whole world is pre pack
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
You could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the dying hun
My love will laugh with me before the funeral comes
I see a crap strip and I want it painted black
No hun bears anymore I want them to turn black
I see the ghirls go by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until the darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm,…
I wanna see the tainted, tainted titles back
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the hun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see the tainted, tainted, tainted, titles black
Yeah!
Hmm, hmm, hmm,…
