I see Celtic fans are being blamed for rumours of Newco’s administration by their former manager, Ally McCoist. He could argue that. Alternatively, you could suggest that a business unable to secure bank borrowing, dependent on funding from directors, who will soon be forced to find £11m to make a share offer, has created more than enough financial uncertainty without Celtic fans’ assistance.
McCoist suggested “even the biggest Celtic fans in the country” do not want to see Newco go into administration. Not so sure you are right there, Ally. Personally, I would find it a funny, but it is not going to change anything. It would not lead to relegation and will not change the title race in any way.
The most significant outcome of administration could be forcing control from Dave King. Which would be a source of enormous regret.
You hang in there, Dave.

Paul John Dykes and Kevin Graham are joined by Celtic’s ex-director, Tom Grant, who offers a fascinating insight into the running of the club in the 1980s and 1990s.
Tom Grant explains exactly why Celtic refused to complete the Mo Johnston transfer in 1989, and lifts the lid on audacious efforts by Billy McNeill to recruit Peter Beardsley and Steve Bruce.
Tom Grant also dissects his relationship with Fergus McCann, and the impact of the ‘Celts For Change’ movement in overturning the ‘family dynasty’ board in 1994.

It’s Friday it’s five to five it’s……
……..time you got a new battery for your watch….it’s running slow!
Lefty! Hope you’re surviving the mid-winter break. I may end my football cold turkey tomorrow by attending EKFC v Gretna 2008. The top of the Lowland League is currently pretty tight –
1st – EKFC on 44 points from 20 games
2nd – Spartans on 43 points but from just 17 games
3rd – BSC Glasgow – 42 points from 19 games
There is then a 5 point gap to East Stirling.
The big game tomorrow is BSC Glasgow at home to Spartans. Anything other than an away win would be good for EKFC.
This would be my first game there this season and so my first since ole Billy Stark took over as manager.
Ghod bless lidl booze
Jobo
What does BSC stand for?
Is it really obvious and I am being obtuse?

Dear Ally
bit cold this time of year for the garden.
You are right.
I don’t want Admin for new club Sevco The International (one away game in luxembourg) Rangers.
I want Liquidation. That would be a new world records. 2 overlapping liquidations.
Do I want a The The not quite International The Rangers.
No I don’t. Please just go for good.
Looks to me like, my Son, who quite rightly wants to see that entity beaten, Live!!!! is likely to be disappointed, this Season.
I reckon they will go in to admin before they play us and be in bottom 6 – to really spite the Young ones.
Oh the shame.
Me – Euphoria
We need a Scottish team that can kick Luxemborgs 4th best team ffs!!!!!!
Naturalhigh.CSC
Had to look up what BSC stood for… Broomhill Sports Club, then realised three of my nephews play in their youth teams, and stoat about with BSC on their strips.
I even pick one them up from training every week.
Doh!
Hey Rascar
Long Time – Early Doors for you, No?
3 AM
I for one would love nothing better than to never have to play Sevco ever again the same way as from 2012 we have never had to play ragers 1872 and gladly never will
AS THEIR DEED .get over it big lie lurkers .
My biggest regret was that the knight was never fully held to account for what he did to football in this country.
To think that the stain he left is still to see justice is and always will be a blight on the peepil who oversaw this episode ,
The SFA
The SPL
The MSM
The club chairman
The lot of them ,should hang their heads in shame
HH
Petec
Aye early, and made sense too.
Hot Smoked – Rascar Capac beat me too it. I, of course, would have known the answer without Googling.
I wouldn’t have ;-)
Sevco fans are being encouraged to ‘ignore the nonsense’ just like they were told by the real Rainjurz.
And so called lords
HH
Celtic have already outspent the entire SPL combined in the January window on Lewis Morgan,
( and gave him back to St.Mirren CSC )
Hamilton Tim – Re OBAF Act response to email – Both Monica Lennon and Elaine Smith Labour MSP’s
have offered support to the emails content.
HH
Tommy Burns
Visionary.
We just call them Broomhill.
Rascar Capac,
Celtic is Good.
Every conceivable thing Sevco do is an attempt to align the new club with Rainjurz 1872.
As for the ole OBAFA emails the current in-play score is…
Supportive – 4 (Mark Griffin, Richard Leonard, Elaine Smith, Monica Lennon)
Against – 1 (Linda Fabiani [although further email exchanges are continuing… ;-) ])
Aff oot tae Chiquittos!
The Young Celts coming through are the ones to defy All odds.
Believe in the Young Ones.

From 2008
A multi-million pound plan to rebuild Ibrox Stadium into one of the biggest in Britain is being developed by Rangers chairman David Murray.
The club has confirmed it is looking at three options to increase the capacity of the stadium and transform the area surrounding Ibrox.
Rangers failed in its plan to have an Ibrox Sands supercasino resort outside the ground when the single UK licence was initially granted to Manchester, before the government backtracked on the proposals.
Loading article content
The preferred option is believed to involve capacity being increased from 50,411 by 40%, with the new Ibrox seating 70,000 supporters in a rebuild of the existing four-stand structure into a bowl-shaped stadium.
Club officials have said the landmark red-brick facade of the main stand on Edminston Drive would be retained and incorporated into any new plan, which could also see the name changed to that of a new corporate sponsor, similar to many deals in England, such as Arsenal’s Emirates stadium.
One of the options being considered involves a hotel, retail and housing complex at Hinshelwood on the site to the south of the main stand, where the supercasino was proposed. It is occupied by housing.
To the west, behind the Broomloan Stand, land is believed to be earmarked for a major retail development.
The cost of the development is reported to be £700m.
Only Manchester United’s Old Trafford would be bigger in Britain, with the new Ibrox exceeding the capacity at the homes of Celtic, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea.
Inspiration for the playing surface is taken from the state-of-the-art pitches used in Japan and Korea for the 2002 World Cup finals with a “hovering pitch” that can slide outside the stadium to allow the grass to be protected and the space to be used for concerts and other major events.
A Rangers spokeswoman said she was unable to comment on the details of the plan.
However, a statement to fans on the club website said: “We are analysing three strategies which would enhance the development of the existing outline planning proposals for the Hinshelwood area to the south of the stadium.
“One of the strategies includes the total rebuilding of Ibrox Stadium while retaining the brick facade, the tradition and the integrity of the Bill Struth Main Stand.”
The rebuild is expected to take around two years with the club seeking to play home matches at Hampden.
The stadium has undergone a transformation following the Ibrox disaster in 1971, when 66 fans died.
Four years later the club DIED OWING £169M ,without a brick being laid
I firmly believe that rangers 1872 would have went bust in 2009 had they not secured CL revenue .
Fortunately for them ,they did due to Celtic dropping IIRC 22pts in the 2nd part of that season .
So forgive me if I dismiss any feelgood stories from anyone connected to sevco 2012 and their media lackeys

Delusion dial turned up to 11.
Forget Lightspeed, Rocket Ralston of the Daily Ranger is travelling at Ludicrous (MelBrooksCSC)

So, that will be Rangers heading into administration then.
What do you mean they’ll make the announcement on Monday?
My sources (a friend of a friend of a friend) was packing the bags of Dave King’s mum in Tesco and heard her on the phone to her boy in Johannesburg.
It’ll be announced on Wednesday morning at 10.37am on the button.
Apparently, it’s a pre-pack deal (the administration, not her shopping) and the Ibrox chairman will receive £10million, walking away to be replaced by a consortium fronted by Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un.
Further investors will include Bradley Walsh, Paul Sinha, Anne Hegerty and Mark Labbett, offering conclusive proof Rangers do, indeed, welcome The Chase.
As Rumours go, this latest one has been hanging around longer than anything recorded by Fleetwood Mac – and has enjoyed just as many re-releases.
Like the first cuckoo in spring, swallow in summer and robin in winter, the sightings of ‘Rangers in administration’ are certainly consistent and, time and again, have proved to be nothing other than pie in the sky.
King and the Three Bears – Douglas Park, George Letham and George Taylor – have invested heavily to wrestle control from the discredited former board and put their club on a firmer financial footing in the past three years.
Conservative estimates put the total at around £20million, much of it from King himself, who has given a further undertaking to auditors Campbell Dallas that he’s good for another £7m to underpin business losses over the next 12 months.
Campbell Dallas are hardly a firm of back street bookies. If they felt there was any likelihood of those sums being unavailable, they would not have signed off in the annual accounts on Rangers continuing as a going concern.
Speaking of the bookies, they apparently closed their satchels on the prospect of Rangers being relegated this season, foreseeing a hefty points deduction and player fire sale if they fall into the abyss.
These, of course, are the same bookies who closed the book on Alex McLeish being named new Rangers boss last month when he had never received so much as a phone call about the position.
Rangers are in debt to no one but their investors, all of them wealthy fans who have pledged to convert much of their loans to equity when a new share issue is launched, most likely later in the year.
Forget the fact they’re supporters, why the hell would they pull the plug and plunge the club into further financial chaos, knowing they would lose almost everything they have put in?
By the end of this year, King will have committed around £40m of his business fortunes to Rangers – half of which was frittered away, much to his disgust, by former chairman David Murray.
In the past 12 months alone he has written a £3m cheque to rid the club of the odious influence on Mike Ashley and £1.5m to UEFA to ensure his team’s UEFA licence.
He has bankrolled Pedro Caixinha, however botched the project, and only this week signed off on a package for Jamie Murphy that will ultimately cost his club the guts of £2m.
There was £1m set aside in an escrow account to pay Aberdeen compensation for Derek McInnes and almost the same again on the table for a salary had the club’s former midfielder decided to leave Pittodrie for Edmiston Drive.
Undoubtedly, King must be held to account. He rode roughshod over the Takeover Panel, for example, who recently concluded he acted in concert with the Three Bears and have demanded he offer 20 pence to all shareholders for their stock, only around two-thirds of their current value.
King has launched an appeal, which will keep it kicking around the legal long grass for a few months to come.
He’s confident of his position. If he loses? He’ll have to fork out around £300,000 for a prospectus knowing no-one will sell for the price he is legally bound to offer while his family trust fund, New Oasis Limited, ring fences £10m just in case.
The geography of the Rangers board is far from ideal with King in South Africa and Alistair Johnston in the States, while Park spends much quality time in Spain.
Other directors have bases in London and Hong Kong and if sound doesn’t travel in a vacuum, mischief can certain be made when strong boardroom leadership is lacking on a daily basis from G51.
That’s something King may do well to consider and address in the coming months but hold on, a call’s just coming in – he’s just been spotted at the Ladbrokes on Copland Road.
He’s slapped £100 on Pep Guardiola at 500,000-1 to become his first-team manager next season. Administration? Aye, right

The big game tomorrow is BSC Glasgow at home to Spartans. Anything other than an away win would be good for EKFC.
Froze my butt off watching my other Season Ticket team edge past Strollers last week, and I’m obviously hoping for a Spartans away win. Only BSC and EK have beaten Spartans in the league this season so looks like an interesting run in.
Was pleased to see Spartans Chairman Craig Graham get an MBE – one of football’s good guys. Like watching them as it’s honest, “warts and all” football without the hype.
Looks to me as if Mr Ralston has just put his neck on the line
Hope he feels it was worth it

good evening bhoys and ghirls regards my post last night, thanks tontine tim and greeninbingleyinoslo for replying, just a bit of fun i think some posters did not reply because of the sevco connection but heyho at the end of the day they are still yesterdays peepul, which brings me to a joke i heard 50 years ago, what have pygmies and sevco fans got in common they both arrow people, please tell me you got the joke because as a 14 year old in 1967 i didnt get it at first.hh.
Utter bollox by Ralston.
The “£1m placed in an Escrow account” didn’t happen. This is from a totally reliable source within Aberdeen Football Club.
Don’t know why anyone bothers to read anything from the DR or any of the other rags which provide propganda for anything with the “rangers” label attached to it.
I don’t buy these publications for a reason, and I don’t see any point in giving them space on these pages either, but that’s just my opinion. A total waste of Internet Ink.
