Sponsorship income is harder and harder to find so securing an improved shirt deal, while others flap to secure lesser deals, is a genuine result for the Celtic commercial team. Irish cider maker, Magners, will have their name of the Celtic shirt for three years from this summer.
This will be the first time Celtic does not share the name on their shirts with another Scottish club since the 1990s, apart from a brief period during 2012, in the weeks between Rangers being assigned to liquidation and a successor coming into existence.
The significant amount of coverage outside Scotland as a result of this season’s Champions League qualification will no doubt have contributed to Magners’ decision, as will the reputation of Celtic fans to toast their Irish heritage in good nature.
Let’s hope club, fans and sponsor can work to make this a long and successful partnership.

I guess you may find Sports direct to be sevcos new sponsor, one of the
only ways Ashley will get a return on his investment, unless he has punted
his shares already

Jonny the Tim : “I’m not a good-looking man at all, indeed, I’ve got ginger (receding and thinning) hair, horrible teeth, milk-bottle specs, severe halitosis, honking oxters, a humph, no pals, and a house in Castlemilk.”
Why is SFTB posting as someone else?! :-)

Chuck is some man… lol!
“Hand on heart today there isnt an option but that doesnt mean we shouldnt start looking for an option.”
One thing I don’t like about the deal, I won’t be able to partake of the sponsors product at the game.
Spiers piece tonight.
There are two competing schools of
thought about the faintly Barnum
figure that is Charles Green, the
Rangers chief executive.
The first is that he is an engaging, gutsy
man, who has astutely taken on this
Rangers mess and stored up for himself
future profit, while simultaneously
restoring the club.
The second is that he is a colourful
buffoon, a blusterer adept in the
outrageous statement, who has taken in
the Ibrox hardcore with his megaphone
pronouncements.
I think there is merit in both points of
view. Green is a hard man to place. He
has done a lot that is admirable at
Rangers, even while his tongue
occasionally wags to lunatic effect.
Give me more of this, I say. It’s like
having a circus right on your doorstep that
you can dip in and out of any time you
like. Whenever I think of Green I think of
him in one of those huge, stripy top-hats.
Yet Green’s most recent outburst may
sway any swithering neutral about him
towards the second of these perspectives
– that is, of the buffoon in action.
Tub-thumping as only he can, Green has
harangued the Scottish football
authorities over their proposed 12-12-18
reconstruction of the leagues. The Ibrox
CEO also stated, in quite a porridge of
indignant sentiment, that Rangers should
leave Scottish football as quickly as
possible.
Amid his frothing Green came upon one
slight glitch…he didn’t know where his
club should go.
Just to be sure, I quote him: “If that
[12-12-18] is what we have [then] the
quicker we can leave Scottish football the
better.”
And then: “On first glance there is
nowhere for us to go…but that doesn’t
mean we shouldn’t start looking for an
option.”
Curiously, Green was greatly agitated on
Wednesday about the fact that, in any
new 12-12-18 set-up, Rangers, should
they win the Irn-Bru third division title,
would not be “promoted” as such but end
up playing the same teams again next
season.
Yet if Rangers were to be promoted in an
unchanged system, they would go up to
the third tier in Scottish football – just as,
in a new 12-12-18 structure, they would
resume in the third tier.
Indeed, a title-winning Rangers, working
their way up from the third division under
the current system, would take three
years from August 2012 to get back to
the top – a time-frame that doesn’t
change in a 12-12-18 system.
Even more strange, Green in his
statement appears to favour “a bigger
league” than the current SPL of 12.
Yet in the SFL’s counter-proposal to go to
a 16-10-16, a title-winning Rangers this
season would also have to stay in the
bottom tier next year, playing the same
teams again…but didn’t Charlie just rage
about this?
Indeed, asked about the 16-10-16
scenario only a month ago, Ally McCoist,
the Rangers manager, said he welcomed
the plan.
This is all very confusing. Mr Green’s
anger flies around like shrapnel, some of
it hitting the mark, other bits smashing
the tea-pot in the corner. On such
occasions, he exhibits quite a lather.
In truth, what we are witnessing here is
the pain of an aggrieved Rangers, a
wounded animal. This club is letting off
steam at every conceivable opportunity.
Green has made it his place to rage
against the SPL and the SFA, and he never
wants to miss a chance.
Rangers are sore. They feel persecuted.
The club and some of its supporters see
various conspirators and “agendas” which
are there to trip them up.
You do meet other Rangers fans who
accept the club’s wrongdoing, who are
stoical about their fate, and who remain a
tad sceptical about Charles Green. But
they are a silent majority (or minority).
I don’t mind Charles Green’s bombast.
Indeed, he is a dream for the Scottish
media. He provides endless drama and
headlines.
But there is a chance that his endless
indignation will become boring. Just
occasionally, he might like to pipe down a
bit.
Clown Jabba saying we’ll build bridges with Celtic, should’ve thought about that before yesterday’s statement.
Johnny the Tim.
I can vouch that you gave a good description of yourself.
Hopefully im still your mate noo ;-))

Being wary of Desperados…..
Sound advice, sir.
No tasted them yet, was offered one a couple of weeks ago, strangely enough, but I declined owing to the fact of being drunk as a skunk enough without throwing a beer with a touch of tequila into the mix……
Jabba says if he was employed earlier he probably wouldn’t have tried to talk Chuck out of the boycott of United, then he goes off on 1 saying we’re trying to move on and build bridges, him and Chuckles a match made in heaven.
Lawwell when asked if he missed huns game.
“Not really: there are pluses and
there are minuses, clearly,” he said. “You
miss the pluses and you don’t miss the
minuses.
“You miss the pros and not the cons, so it
balances itself out but you definitely
wouldn’t swap it for the Champions
League.”

thinks it is £3.50 a pint in lounge, hopefully now cheaper…
SSN talking about Sevco not gaining from the reconstruction finish the article saying it will be a while before Rangers can add to their 54 league titles.
Had it with them, Sky Sports getting cancelled and making it clear exactly why. Not listening to their p**s any longer.

Cheers RT, I hope Jim Mcguinness can still make it over to Spain I think it would be a great opportunity to observe the first team squad and get an idea of what makes them tick, then start some of his magic with the guys while he has a captive audience

Like they’d let me in the lounge, jeez.
To all Sevco investors, Chuck wants to give your money away…
“The distribution of cash is better and that was something I raised when I attended meetings with the SPL last year. I felt Rangers and Celtic had a stranglehold of the money and I told Peter Lawwell that to his face.”
I expect a HUGE dumping of Sevco shares in the coming days, that is why Chuck is raging and trying his desperate quit card.

LoL.
There is one interesting thing in the Spiers article.
They didn’t complain about the 16-10-16.
This can only mean they were getting fast-tracked to the 10 based on stadia criteria or the like but it seems that little scheme is off.
I hope Peter Lawwell was personally involved in this because it will make several heads explode.
Here’s a question that some decent journalist should ask Chuck following his wee rant….
If he is so aghast at the injustice of the SPL 12-12-18 format leaving them in the bottom tier after winning the 3rd Division title, why was the SFL 16-10-16 format going to be any different as far as they were concerned?
Hmmmmm………

Now yer talkin’
£3.50 isn’t bad either to be fair.
Oops – lesson learned.
Read the whole blog when returning from work before you post…

Spiers
I remember him on the telly sayin something along the lines of
You know, deep down I kinda like Dick Advocaat, sure he’s…
I remember him on the radio sayin something along the lines of
You know, deep down I kinda like David Murray, sure he’s…
He’s spent a long time being safely outspoken and determinedly fair.
But when push came to shove on the radio one night he all but started crying when accused of disliking oldco and wishing them ill – he described being brought up to support – he was smart enough to only allude to the ipso facto that he still did/does.
His recent peacock displays for zombienation are pathetic in every sense of the word.
