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.

Che
I fly out of and in to Prestwick several times a year.
Before my flight out of Prestwick in the early morning, there are usually a couple to Spain.
As I sit there having my breakfast pint of Guinness I observe some of the passengers waiting in the departure lounge – like a scene out of ‘Deliverance’.
Hun tops, union jack shorts, scarcity of teeth…sure you get the picture.
The great unwashed indeed!

The whole pantomime has been like a job creation scheme for lawyers.
Half a million to find out who cooked the books…
Bargain of the day at Poundland…
Morning,
I take it this is Toppings message to Gilmour.
“Anyone who retreats from the decision they have taken today would be left in a hugely embarrassing position.”

How many millions have they wasted on legal fees! lol!
‘The whole pantomime has been like a job creation scheme for lawyers’
Oh ! No !! It hasn’t!….

Gordon Smith has issued a statement to the effect that any suggestion that he has been lined up to take over from Sir Alex at Manchester United is merely speculation at this stage.
He’s behind youse
Morning bhoys from a warm hun free mountain valley.
Happy birthday Vmhan.
So, after tumbleweed tuesday, are we going to have a washout wednesday ?
It’s getting to the stage when no bad news for them is coming out, I get a bit deflated, it’s becoming an addiction so it is >}
Neil Lennon to be Fergies No:2 at Man Utd?
Thinking out loud after being told at weekend there might be a major change in the summer.
It was not specified at what level the change was.

Now that’s what I call a winning smile..
“Whither ‘Sir David’ amidst the farrago?”
Man Utd website announces Fergie retirement!

Now the speculation begins.
What odds the fat boy, I reckon a killing is to be made >}}}}}
Swalex is – Off oot :)
did the nightshift persuade Fergie to quit.
should we fear Lenny getting a call this morning.
I think Jose will be the new Knight.
Good luck to whoever takes over from SAF.
He’ll out be given 5-6 years to turn the team around.
If they don’t get Morinho I reckon Moyes could be next on the ManU list. If Moyes leaves Everton the Toffees might see Lenny as a decent fit.
…ahemmmm!
ah hear Boaby Williamson has ‘made himself available’……..
( ye heard it here first).
TET
Jose was in to 7/4 mid-evening (last night) – come midnight when the English papers hit the streets some pundits were quoting 4/7!
Happy Birthday Vmhan

That made me laugh. I went straight into “Hamlet” mode and found myself reading your post in true Shakespearean style. Hamlet is actually a highly appropriate comparison to our friends on the west side. Deception in abundance.
Charles Green could definitely take the part of Hamlet given his recent racist outburst which followed his “worst team ever” remarks. Mad? Or faking madness in the way Hamlet faked madness in order to deflect attention away from his evil shenanigans?
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern will hopefully appear soon carrying the death warrant.
Was Fergie mentioned in Charles Green’s blueprint??………
If Owen Coyle doesn’t get the Wolves or Millwall job ,i fear the worst.A mate was talking to an SPL Manager 2 weeks ago and he said the strong rumour was NL would be away.

I thought Moyes was odds on, a fair few bob went on him yesterday, according to the BBC, I know, I know……
It’s usually about now that fellow Baxter is touted, where is he now?
In descending order of likelihood of Swalex`s replacement:
Jose Mourinho?
Fred Goodwin?
Margaret Thatcher?
Alastair McCoist?

Hooper plays for Stevenage last night:
Joe Cole was among several prominent West Ham players to appear in a charity match against Stevenage in memory of his brother-in-law Mitchell Cole.
The Cole XI, which also featured Celtic’s Gary Hooper, won 7-4 after recovering from conceding the first goal to take a convincing 6-2 half-time lead. Carroll, Nolan, Noble, Jarvis and Collins each scored in the first half, at the end of which they were substituted.

So were St Mirren and Ross County right to vote against reconstruction?
Arguably they got what they wanted – and what they were told was not on the table: one league body and financial redistribution without the 12-12-18 system.
Looks like a decent outcome to me.
I recall the morn after our 2-3 defeat at TTOD in the CL under WGS
and, Swalex was on the National BBC(not the Scoattish version) and was being quizzed by an English journalist who opined – “That was a great game. What made it that way ?”
Swalex answered – “The Celtic supporters made it a great game !”
He continued – “If we had the Celtic fans down here every week then, there would be no doubt that this(EPL) would be the best League in the world!”
Strange though, the above never made it’s way into the SMSM ?
