Former Rangers player, John Brown, spoke to Sky Sports this morning outside Ibrox and launched a takeover bid for the former club’s assets. Yesterday he resigned as a scout for the company before urging Rangers fans not to renew their season tickets.
In an interview reminiscent of a memorable scene from Blazing Saddles, Brown told Sky:
“If [the fans]invest, we’ll setup a bank account that all the season ticket money can go in there, and we can guarantee that we will buy this club over from this regime because it’s coming back into Rangers hands.
“Gone are the days, of the, the money that we spent. It’s going to be handled differently this time. The fans are going to buy it over. We have the backing from powerful people who are going to invest, but the fans will invest, and they’ll offer Charles Green, if he says he’s got the title deeds in his name, we’ll make an offer, once we see the hidden letters, any deeds that have been done in the past, if there’s any stumbling blocks, where’s Ticketus in all this, we’ll deal with that, once we see the title deeds, of this stadium, that I was proud to play for, in a number of years through nine-in-a-row, and we’re going to get our club back, but we need a bit of honesty from Charles Green.”
Reports that after hearing Brown, Charlie Nicholas is worried for his analyst position with the broadcaster, have not been confirmed.

Absolutely!
It cannot be legal!
Can the huns or their adminstraitors handle another bundle of court cases?
quote from an ex-hun abroad (on RM) – This person is teaching foreigners how to speak English?
“When i told them how the scum from the east have been acting regarding matters, they were shocked, and couldn’t believe that even your greatest rivals would behave in such a manner towards another football team….”
What, on earth could we possible have done to save them from themselves I wonder?

“on sale soon the CQN KP”.available in green whyte and comedy gold….

Who questioned your motives or commitent? I must have skimmed by that particular post. It just amazes how people who don’t go on a regular basis think that after attending Celtic park for the best part of 30 years I, my mates and my family will stop going because of the huns.
f@n&Y right enough…
I dont have a ST. I hardly go to Celtic games. I rarely by Celtic product. I dont know the names of any of our players or even anything about our history.
It doesn´t detract in anyway .. let me rest assure you …. seeing the huns being bum f*****d every second minute of the day … not at all
Hail Hail
Oh lordy the poor old Queen having to shake hands with the beastly Martin McGuniness. It was all the fault of those dammed Bog Arabs don’t you know old chap, ungrateful wretches the lot of them
The Daily mail (Who else)
The Queen shakes hands IRA commander Martin McGuinness
The Queen performed an astonishing act of forgiveness today in the name of peace when she shook hands with Sinn Fein’s Martin McGuinness – twice.
Belfast was the scene for an extraordinary encounter between the British monarch and the former IRA commander – now Northern Ireland’s Deputy First Minister – which would have been unthinkable as little as ten years ago.
Her Majesty somehow even found it within her to smile as she met the man who once headed the terror network responsible for killing Lord Mountbatten – the treasured cousin she knew as ‘Uncle Dickie’.
He was murdered by the IRA in 1979 along with his young grandson in a bomb blast during a boating trip off Mullaghmore, Co. Sligo. It was an atrocity that sent shockwaves through the Royal Family.
Yet today, in a Jubilee year full of surprises, the Queen spent five minutes with Mr McGuinness behind closed doors in a room within the city’s Lyric Theatre, and then the pair shook hands again publicly outside in full view of the world’s cameras.
Prince Philip, whose successful courting of the Queen is much credited to Lord Mountbatten – his real uncle – also managed to put aside any bitterness to shake hands with the former militant.
Would have thought that the person with 25m would have popped up a couple of weeks ago and got it much cheaper
Green skint I can believe, but 25m

that would be wronly placed on my head i can assure you, i have been blogging here for some time, outwith a 2 month period recently due to personal issues that i care not to go into on this blog.
Has anyone else walked away today?
Or, to put it another way, does Sevco employ more than just Wallace and McCulloch yet?

What’s surprising people here is that there is even any discussion about where they go. They should be out, starting again from the very bottom. When I explain that there’s a possibility they can stay in the SPL they look at me like I’m a daft lassie who doesn’t understand football.
In “Doctor Who”, the Daleks have been killed off many, many times.
But they’re such an iconic baddie the show keeps finding new and ever more unlikely ways to resurrect them via such plot devices as hitherto unknown Dalek cults, splinter groups, and Daleks trapped in time bubbles.
Davros doesn’t do walking away.
I can’t help but feel that the writing on “Doctor Who” is more plausible than this “Rangers” business. (thumbsup)

David Healy has announced he will not walk away either. Unfortunately, it had to be pointed out to David that his contract with rangers had already ended…

CELTIC´S Development Squad will take part in the ARR Craib Cup this summer along with Partick Thistle, Airdrie United and some of the most promising young Premiership players in an Everton XI.
The pre-season tournament will be held at Firhill, the weekend of July 21-22 and will kick off with a repeat of last year’s friendly between Celtic and the Jags.
Stevie Frail and Danny McGrain will take a young Celtic side to play Jackie McNamara and Simon Donnelly´s team. The winner of that midday tie will play the winners of Everton XI v Airdrie United the following afternoon at 2.45pm.
This will be the Hoops´ third and fourth pre-season run-outs following two behind-closed-doors fixtures the previous week.
Stevie Frail told the official Celtic website that he is looking forward to the competition.
“It will be a good test for our players,” he said, “and it will be great for their fitness. We played at Firhill last year and a really good crowd turned up. They made a good atmosphere and we´re hoping they do the same again this year.
“It’s a tournament spread over two days and the fact Everton are also involved gives everyone a boost.”

Ibrox staduim has released a statement following Brown’s interview
It reads.. As a staduim we have never employed any player, not now or anytime in the past and certainly not one of the calibre of Mr Brown
I can’t believe it.
Kojo is JohnBrown.

Comedy Gold.
Uefa has denied media reports that it rejected a request from the Spanish Football Federation for a minute silence to be held before the Euro 2012 semi-final clash against Portugal.
The Real Betis defender lost his battle with pelvic cancer earlier this week, aged 23, and La Roja stars Cesc Fabregas and Sergio Ramos led the tributes to the former Under-19 international.
Spain’s players had hoped that Roque’s passing would be formally recognised just before kick-off in their meeting with Paulo Bento’s men in Donetsk, but the European football governing body has denied having received a request from Spain.
In a statement on their website, Uefa said: “Further to media reports of the alleged refusal to allow a minute of silence in memory of Spanish football player Miki Roque ahead of tonight’s Uefa Euro 2012 semi-final between Spain and Portugal, Uefa would like to underline that it has not received any such request from the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).
“Articles reporting its rejection by Uefa are therefore totally unfounded.”
Uefa did not allow a minute’s silence for Thierry Ronald ahead of France’s clash with Sweden during the group stages, even though the French journalist was a close friend of president Michel Platini.
Roque, who spent four years at Liverpool, was diagnosed with cancer last year after undergoing a routine check-up on a back problem and had a tumour removed last May.
stephbhoy,
that happens anyway, its part of the ebb and flow of supporting a team, sometimes you want to go sometimes you dont, I see people getting pelters for leaving early, but never seen anyone getting pelters for no turning up last week or only turning up for big games.
Personally I’ll be glad when the glory hunters have moved on the prices will once again become fair, and the support levels off.
Only problem being is they will be back when we move and that will drive up prices and once again the board will be too greedy, but we’re used to that innit.
I predict we will be playing outside Scotland in 5 years, thats how long IMO we have to make support ownersh, else we are on our way to becoming manure a soulless corporation.
Bom dia.
I have to confess, I tortured two dumb animals to within an inch of their lives last night.
As I was walking home I spied two Newco fans outside our local boozer last night. So being the amicable fellow I am, I engaged them in a chat about their situation. Honestly it was like acting out that “Explaining Debt to a Hun” cartoon and at one stage I near collapsed on the floor when they said “…but R@ngers will never die…” for the umpteenth time.
Was I wrong to walk away leaving them afraid, bewildered and broken with tears in their eyes and fear in their hearts??

maybe you should not come to the conclusion i do not go to celtic park regularly. you also imply by your questions to me that my motives or commitent to celtic are less than yours, your questions are loaded, you know it and i know it
celtic as someone else said is in my blood and i give as much time and money to them as i can, maybe we could both learn to make less assumptions
p.s. sorry about that mate it was below par

THE NATIONAL sense of doom and gloom in the aftermath of Ireland’s limp display at Euro 2012 seems to have bitten into the League of Ireland, with just over 3,300 punters paying in to see Dublin’s big four clubs play out two local derbies last week.
LOI action resumed last weekend after a two-week break for Euro 2012 but the Irish public showed little appetite for the fare on offer, with an aggregate attendance of just 6,803 attending the five Premier Division games last week while just over 1,000 more paid in to see all four Division One matches.
Reported attendances for top flight games, like 519 (for Drogheda United v Bray Wanderers) and just 158 (UCD-Dundalk) are a worry but also of concern is the relatively poor gates for the big Dublin derbies last week, with just over 3,300 as an overall official attendance for both the St Pats-Bohemians and Shelbourne-Shamrock Rovers games.
With one club having already pulled out of the league (Monaghan United) and another (Dundalk) admitting to having cash-flow problems, the poor gates could be a concern.
