Congratulations to The Kano Foundation for their magnificent fifth annual charity dinner on Saturday. The Kano story is beyond incredible and a credit to those who call ourselves Celtic fans – whether you are involved with them or not.
Well done also to everyone who participated in the Celtic Foundation Zip Slide across Celtic Park on Saturday, in aid of children’s’ charities. It was exhilarating and is sure to be repeated. A weekend without Celtic and hundreds of Celtic fans get stuck into our reason for being.
They can blame the last guys for the lack of commercial revenue streams, or for paying incompetent coaches too much money. They can even blame them for over-ambition when it came to funding the playing squad, but for all of its short corporate life, Rangers International PLC’s previous board members have been able to produce accounts on time and all received approval from authorised nominated advisers.
If the new board members are unable to deliver a nominated adviser, blaming the old board, as one newspaper tried today: “largely because of the scorched earth policy implemented by the previous board in the last days of the Mike Ashley empire – they must do so before the City shuts down for the Easter holiday”, would be both dishonest and a very worrying (for some) departure from a company which seeks to build its corporate reputation.
This entire question should be moot. Mike Ashely didn’t need to be on the newco board to exert the control he needed with an 8% share and neither would Dave King. King could easily take a back seat and appoint trusted men of stature who would breeze the nomad requirements. We can only speculate as to why King NEEDS to be on the board, and don’t count on anyone who can get close enough to King, or his PR, asking this question. The entire uncertainty is an unnecessary nonsense.

“RFC have the dubious honour of being tagged officially as the single most complained about company on AIM’s books”
From the Daily Ranger no less.

I haven’t been on much recently, has Murray been rubberstamped then by the SFA as the “new Captain Bligh on the new Ship of Fools??” Or is he just doing what he always did, open his mouth and let his belly rumble?

BRTH – surrely the most interesting part of those results is that they have been without an auditor since last summer – no wonder they can’t find a NOMAD.

Yes there is so much in there to pick through it will take ages to work all the way through it and the consequences.
It is shockingly worded and completely unnecessary.
I would have been tempted to say absolutely nothing and suffer the wrath of the regulator and be delisted for failure to be compliant rather than make that statement.
BlantyreKev and Barca saying in twitter they gave up at the second paragraph.
In tehcnical terms it is as shockingly as bad a statement as you can imagine — I think!
I’d be mortified if the chairman of Celtic came out with a statement as badly drafted and clunky as that.
Also, incredibly patronising, and choc full of moonbeams…
You really gotta wonder about the calibre of the new guys at the helm… Are they just morons?
Being told they will be delisted within the week! Thursday PM.
Statement is a total pile of bullshit.
Expect Paul to rip it to pieces later having had a bit of time to take it in.
Hello again all you young rebels.
Well our great Celtic cruise round Oz is going great guns we
are now steaming into the Kimberly region ( for bmcuw/ dd )
very hot and steamy and heading towards Darwin, had another
sesh with good tims in Port Douglas and the Maitre d’ of the
ships restaurant had shore leave and decided to join us in the
local pub where he regaled us of his knowledge of the bhoys
and how they were the only team to win the big cup with a team
of players all from the one city, asked him how he knew this,
turns out he is Italian and his brother has a restaurant in Glasgow
and is always reminding him of this fact when he phones him.
Phoned our grandson while sitting in the bar and the first question
he asks ” Papa have you met any Celtic supporters yet ?
” of course i have i’m sitting with them just now ”
So i said to them all it’s my wee grandson he wants to know if
there’s any tims here, and they all launched into a rendition of
hail..hail to all the local peoples surprise and delight, the wee mhan
said ” Papa Oz is really all green and white ”
I said ” the world son and never forget that ”
Into Darwin tomorrow so bring on the next meet up with the Celtic
family, can’t wait.

In other news, our own Burnley78 was recently given an award by the Institute of Directors.
Now, I am not one who hangs any great significance on awards and the likes but well done to our Paul becuase that is a recognition of good corporate governance and business standing and you have to earn that kind of thing.
BRTH
I just love it…..love it that you say you’ll go into more detail then dive into a detailed deconstruction of it all!
Can’t help yourself. Nae wonder. It is like an all you can eat buffet for you legal and accountant wizards!
I’ll be back later to enjoy the carnage!

If a Celtic chairman came away wi the same BS?
Whit aboot the doctors – “We’ll not be sitting at the back of the bus anymore.” ….BS?
The bus dizny even stoap tae lit us oan noo!
The huns chairman has joost spun waan of his masonic-kaliedoscope-BS-thingys and, the high-level bampots are in a tizzy?….heaven help us.
Apart from the £500K penalty for getting promotion – is there any contingency costs set aside for other similar onerous payments?
After all……………. jam was paid for 4th to 3rd and 3rd to 2nd!
Paul Murray was absolutely spot on in the stock market statement with the following line…
‘ Rangers are a remarkable club’
Remarkable ? Yep they sure are and not in a good way.
HH
When the huns are aboot tae go over the cliff(again)….hey presto…a pile of dough falls fae the sky.
Falls fae the sky ma erchie…..
Wasn’t GMS at Liverpool – didn’t turn out too bad ( so far). If true, give the lad a chance.

The banter
Oot n aboot in Sciacca.
2 young guys in a bar .
‘ You watching the game tonight ? ‘ ( Italy v England ‘.
‘ Maybe – I am waiting for a phone call from Sky to tell me how much they will pay me ‘.
Fabulously unnecessary words from Zombieco..Bullshit which contains a Yo Yo is never a good idea .Hard to get rid of it .

Brilliant morning.

Nothing yet about semi final tickets.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen such a shortage of tickets. I know quite a few who go every week who still haven’t got one for Friday night. Not entirely sure why there’s such a high demand.
It’s only knobs that listen tae Chick Young
The ‘Statement’ appeared in the Hootsman ‘Latest’ Section………..
Got relegated to the ‘SPFL Lower Divisions’ Section…………
Then got pulled……….. all within an hour!
Half a million to Newcastle for 1 fit player and 4 crocks if promoted.
Mike Ashley wins AGAIN
Huns are Ashley’s spare change holder
Off oot tae the piano choon fea the HULK…..

How can DM Hall so called independent valuers have valued the properties at £43m.
I see their cash flow statement confirms they are burning cash at £1m per month if I am reading it properly

Well they managed to value them before at £120m, so that seems about right.

Thanks mate , can’t wait :-)

When I read that statement I thought, Jack Irvine PR but he is much more astute. Sounds mair Jabberwockie ish tae me. Primary school prose.
Did the old board really make no effort to find new auditors or did they accept delisting as inevitable as well?
HH
Not up to speed with the financial side of things with the zombies but this one really gets me .
Why were BDO ( I think ) allowed to sell the assets to Charles Green for 5-6 million when people are now claiming the property is worth 40+ million ?
Not to mention the value of the HISTORY :-))

There’s a wee Twitter rumour doing the rounds that you’ll be there wearing your zip wire leotard.
Coincidence? I don’t think so….

Apparently Glibby is in S.A. putting the finishing touches to some Seven League Boots so they can catch up with us:))
If Nina Simone did accountancy services…
Ain’t got no cash, ain’t got no players,
Ain’t got no shirts, ain’t got no retail,
Ain’t got no Nomad, ain’t got no Auditor
Ain’t got no class, ain’t got no humility,
Ain’t got no nothing
Emphasis of Matter Statement, Going Concern:
Many of the People have stopped going, which is a concern.
Ridiculous that the Interim Chairman of a football club would spend so much of his statement to the Stock Exchange talking about another club.
He also needs some help with tenses, doesn’t seem to know when to use ‘is’ and ‘was’ properly.
£500,000 due to Newcastle should they win promotion?….and it’s not included in the accounts, as they dont think it will be neccessary!
Brilliant piece of business by Ashley, and an admission of their ambitions for this season,(and next?)

The figures include the Mike Cashley crisis loans, that’s good enough for me, in my
very limited understanding.
They’re losing more than a million per month ( every month ).
