The resignation of Charles Green from his post as Rangers International chief executive last month was more curious for what it wasn’t – a resignation from the board. Green retained his position as a director of the club. This was always likely to have consequences.
BBC report this morning that club chairman, Malcolm Murray, who media outlets loyal to Green reported innuendo against earlier this year, in what was viewed as an attempt to discredit and ultimately remove him, yesterday lost a vote of confidence at a board meeting.
I am certain the vote of confidence was called by Murray himself after he informed the board, including Charles Green, of how he intends to deal with the important matters surrounding the club at this time. In particular, what he plans to do with information received from Pinsent Masons and forensic accountants from Deloitte. The investigation underway by Pinsents and Deloittes is only taking place at the insistence of Murray.
The innuendo against Murray was inappropriate and part of a dirty tricks campaign against the man by those who do not have Rangers best interests at heart [the irony is searing]. The normal reaction to losing a vote of confidence is to resign and let your opponents deal with the consequences of their actions. Murray may feel he has done all he can for the club (or company, if that is how some would like to start calling the entity now). Those who invested in Craig Whyte’s various claims last month will enormously encouraged.
On Friday I’ll be joined by Phil Mac Giolla Bhain and Paul McConville at the Columba Club, Blantyre, for what is certain to be an enjoyable Question and Answer event. Tickets, £5 each, for the Columba Charitable Fund, are available at the door. I’m really looking forward to it. See you there.

Hoopsmon, I would have thought they have ignorance by the skip load:-)
The Deserters getting pardoned remain what they were – deserters. No acts of legislation will change historical facts.

As you look at the Segrada Famila (Sp) entrance/ticket stall walk to you’re left to go round the building, as you start to go round on the opposite side there is an all yo can eat buffet which for €10 you get good food plus free drinks including up to three glasses of wine or beer. l think it is not to a burger king type place.
The kids would enjoy it too lots of cakes ice cream and jelly :-)
You’re left= your left.
Bloody he’ll not=next.
l am too excited about the sevco going bust to think.
I hear there is to be a remake of ‘Moulin Rouge’ – set in Glasgow with the working title ‘Moulin Brogue’.

An Dun -so volunteering to help defeat a regime that was turning its fellow human beings into soap was the wrong thing to do?

A Stor @ 11.03, just reading back caught your post.
I knew about the Irish contribution to WW2 but not the issue covered in today’s news story.
When A/S Magennis returned to Belfast with his V.C he was shabbily treated, it sounds like he would not have been made more welcome in Dublin.
Thanks for the reading list; I’ll check them out.

When dealing with history, it’s important to look with the eyes of a contemporary.
When these deserters left their post, Ireland was under threat of invasion from both England and Germany. The human rights abuses of Germany in particular didn’t come to public attention until near the end of the war.
These deserters knew nothing of human rights abuses. I won’t make a hero out of deserters. They left out a sense of adventure, perhaps better wages. They remain deserters.

Aye!! …..their ignorance is, seemingly, boundless.

I took a Celtic supporter friend from Sheffield to that game – his first at CP. Excitement was fantastic. I think that he was worse than I was.
Having been at the Partisan Belgrade games a few years before, I remember saying to my friend that “we could still lose this”. Thankfully we held out.
Great post.

thanks for that, excited about the forthcoming news (hopefuly) too !

An Dun:
What are your views on the ‘economic’ deserters? The ones who deserted to take the king’s shillings in Liverpool and Glasgow and Birmingham as opposed those deserters who went to Gallipoli and the Somme and Ypres and Italy and Palestine and died fighting the Fascists.
And when they returned to Eire, they were not discriminated against.
What is the difference between those Irishmen who fought against Franco and those Irishmen who fought against Hitler? What motivated the Saint Patrick’s Battalion in Mexico.?
An Dun:
Bollocks to history…. when dealing with humanity it is wise to be humane to those who fought for its existence.
Thumbs up from the lawyers.
An interesting afternoon ahead
An Dun -you’ll have your heroes, and I’ll have mine.
I would not be over-critical of anyone leaving home motivated by adventure, it’s a very old story.

And Ireland did discriminate against the dead of WWI. And the children of those who died too.
And mate that is not ‘contemporary’ (whatever than has to do with it) that is Ireland’s Shame.
How many IRA (Republican) Legends fought in the British Uniform?

Any person who deserted their national army at a time of real threat to the State fo not deserve a pardon.
Whether working in factories or soldiering, if they deserted, they betrayed their army and deserted the people they were sworn to protect.
As for the St. Patrick’s Brigade, they were deserters. They deserted a foreign army, they didn’t desert the Irish Army at a time Churchill was holding Cabinet talks about invading the South of Ireland.

I am going to walk up Ben Nevis on June the 15th to join a Huddle at 4,408ft, with at least another 115 Bampots to raise money for the Celtic Charity Fund. Please consider making a donatation to the cause through this link:
Some of you may know me as Morrissey the 23rd. Some of you may know me from the Facebook group ‘No Spl For A Liquidated Rangers fc’. A couple of you are related to me and a quite few of you know them, or of them.
It is for a good cause. Thank you!

A memorable match for me too, for several reasons.
As soon as it was finished, I drove through to Edinburgh to watch a terrific Ray Davies gig in the Assembly Rooms. Met the great man afterwards too. Then I set off home to Skye, hit a deer just after Tyndrum and totally wrote off the car. Genuinely thought my number was up as the car left the road, flying through the air at 60mph. An eventful day!
During the match itself, I was also haunted by the ghost of Partizan. Tirol had several excellent chances at 5-3 and it was nail-biting stuff.
IIRC, Andy Thom’s goal from the indirect free-kick came about as a result of their goalie getting caught out by the newly introduced rule that penalised the keeper for not releasing the ball into play within six seconds.
As for Henrik’s OG – there can’t be many Celtic players whose first and last European goals at Celtic Park were both AGAINST Celtic!
So if we look ahead to the implosion under the weight of subterfuge and lies of the ‘corporate entity’ that contains the RFC, can we expect to see another summer of Scottish football getting bent out of shape working out how to accomodate the footy bit? I don’t know if I can stand that with the inevitable conclusion it will bring. Can we expect the office bearers of the national associations to act in the best interests of the majority?
Good title to an article that poses so many questions as to where Sevco go next.
Any way you look at this it is going to get very messy.
Time to check out fireworks suppliers again.
O.G.R – new Thommo blog?

I was at that game as well. One of my best nights as a Celtic supporter in fact.
I’d take some of that over playing some blue mob from Govan any day of the week.
