You know, I know, even those denying reality for a year know, Craig Whyte is the only show in town. So if Our Hero does a deal for his shares and Ibrox Stadium – and that deal is not with the Blue Knight (singular), you have proof positive of the degree of concert between Whyte and his ‘buyer’.
If the Blue Knight gets the nod as preferred bidder tomorrow it will be a considerable relief for Rangers fans. Murray’s plan for a CVA lies in tatters but at least he is a Rangers fan and has committed to sell shares to fans to increase their control of the club. They will remain in a horrible situation, but at least it will be their horrible situation.
The alternative may be for a new buyer who tries to hoodwink fans with superstitious nonsense while hoping they don’t notice his plans to break their history, LIQUIDATE RANGERS, break their history, permanently erase the digits 1872 from merchandise (apart from Celtic fans doing irony) and break their history.
If it’s Bill Miller, perhaps someone should “delete the Google records” (a small joke from a few weeks ago) of everything Paul Murray and Brian Kennedy said about the American’s bid, what it actually is and what it means for the future.
Popcorn time!

Sir Alex & Mancini ……..WE REST OUR CASE ……..SCOTTISH FOOTBALL CULTURE COMES TO THE FORE ….

He was VERY nervous during that interview
MillerGenuine Draft now added to the banned list, if the banned list continues much longer it will nearly be as long as their list of creditors.
Morning all. Another lovely day here in North Ayrshire.
Where are the musical chairs stopping today? Any new bids tabled during the hours of darkness?
By the bye, am I the only one who feels that it shouldn’t have ole Craig Whyte (Celtic legned) but his nemesis, SDM, who should have had his physog on yon banner?
Club 9 ready to release a statement today. Thought they were out of the picture? Bad news day yet again for the bears if true. That mob (club 9) don’t have a pot to pee in. Huns fans calling for a pitch invasion tonight to show their “anger” at this development.
Oh dear…oh dear oh dear….
Alex Salmond carpeted Sir Awex yet? Cameron got a task force on drafting new legislation? FA demanding an end to Mancini shouting at the 4th official? Refs going on strike?
Didn’t think so.
perhaps this follow follower sums it up better than I just did;
“F***, Whyte is still pulling the strings with this. D&P were only ever going to sell to this mob. D&P are working in cahoots with Whyte. F*** Bill Miller, F*** Craig Whyte and F*** Duff and Duffer”
Language sir, language.
THAI TIMS …… WONDERFUL
Ah…looks like the club9 thing is an error. An old story regurgitated…sadly.
Does anybody think TFPLGs comments yesterday means he is now in the BARGENING stage?
Morning all from gay Paree, overcast this morning (14C max today).
For various reasons and events, I’ve not been following the Govan saga much recently. When I checked the story yesterday, the mood in Timdom seemed to be fairly sombre, with the likelyhood that RFCIA would be welcomed with open arms into the fold in time for next season.
News of the latest development – that Billy Miller is the Proxy Bear – is indeed heartening.
He seems to have a screw loose and is just the man to be our new Hero –
the man to break their history!
Gardez La Foi
I really need to do a proof read to check for any spelling mistakes
Quite amazing how the mood of the blog has swung back and forth over the past couple of days, what has today in store for us I wonder.
If Im being honest Im totally lost with it all now, just wish Declan would make an appearance and clarify the finer points of Financial and Sporting Regulations.
Someone better tell Fat Sally if it is still rangers 1872 playing out of ibrox then Craig Whyte still owns it.
Stupid Hun…

That is because yesterday was pie day in the canteen and he was keeking it Durrant would eat them all before he got back. :0)
Whither the cash-strapped scrofulous Hillbillies the day?
I’ve just discovered that tomorrow’s match isn’t on live telly. Drat. Spose I’ll just have to record the BBC Alba re-run. It’ll be worth it if only for the commentary.
I see a couple of the rags now referring to Brian Kennedy’s blue nights. (with Murray somewhat in the background) has something significant happened to change the focus onto Kennedy?
An interesting article on one William Miller

Morning All, sunny and 15 degrees here in Germany, though thunder is forecast. Just wanted to say the Thai Tims-meet-Neil Lennon video was really heart-warming. I also thought Neil’s statement about his treatment by the Scottish media was spot on.
HH
Gerry S -Paul Murray has beamed himself back to the mothership.
Brian will go on to impregnate a human, or failing that a wee lassie fae Ayrshire, as one of Diana’s ‘medical experiments’
DBBIA/V CSC
Old co New co Boak co!! Renewed for me and the four boys on Monday. Canny wait for the season to start. Even though it’s not finished yet….! Centre forward please Mr.Lennon. HH.
Champion Spring morning in the Chilterns…
Noticed someone posted the SPL Top Scorers last evening – Hooper of course No. 1, interesting though that No. 3 is Jelavic. Still R@ngers’ top scorer for the season and now Everton’s top scorer is that the first time that’s been done?
Are the still pretending they have a potenial preffered bidder… great, now don’t interrupt.
Morning World
Are we in for another Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde day.
Love

@LawTop20: Is it true that there is a SPL-SFA emergency meeting today? Subject matter: Bill Miller & new co & new membership? Trying to confirm

Good point Gerry S.
I noticed that too. Is that because IF and when any money is put up for potential bidder it is coming from Kennedy’s pocket so he is calling the tune. Alternatively if Murray is fronting this are the authorities/HMRC going to see him as an ex-director who should be excluded.
However sounds like Miller is going to get the nod so Murray has probably had his 15 mins of fame and is happy to duck out of the charade and bask in the kudos of having attempted ‘to save them’.
Who knows…in fact who actually cares as it is all going to end up in liquidation…..er.. mmm… sorry cannot remember the buzz word again is is incubators co, newco or disco!!!

happy scenes, esp around 2mins30…
Can’t open it here but watched it last night. There’s a moment in it where the camera pans round to the left and there’s one little boy, oblivious to all, back to the camera and to all the others, having a ball.

If Duff and Phelps are organising it then itll be delayed, and then delayed and then maybe extended to accommodate a delay

share on F’book or Twitter
LoL, best administrators ever
Whrn do SFA/SPL do their ‘fit & proper’ person test on Bill ‘towing tycoon’ Miller, Brian ‘Edinburgh-born businessman’ Kennedy, The Blue ‘who are these peepul?’ Knights?
Surely they’re going to learn from previous mistakes and do the test before the takeover?
In other news Roy Hodgson is to begin training with the England squad, they will have to push a hospital bed up a Yorkshire moor and then ride it back down.
Mullet McColl ‘ if we do get CL fooball it’ll be through default’
What’s that on Sally’s top lip?
The Thai tims are fantastic ambassadors for our club and its ethos.
To my knowledge, they do not exist because of the actions of our chief exec or the board. Likewise, the GB, our songbook, our away support, the Celtic diaspora, our club’s great history, the infinite (almost) number of fantastically generous acts of Celtic supporters and my continuing support are not conditional on the dubious and potentially shifting political, moral and business positions of the Celtic board.
None of the above groups existence/continued actions should be affected by the decisions of corrupt, sectarian organisations eg the SFA/SPL/Scottish government/various Scottish police forces/Scottish referees/chief execs of other Scottish football clubs/supporters of other Scottish football clubs/the MSM/the majority of Scottish people etc.
“The Celtic v Linfield match had been a scrappy affair, with a player from each side being sent off. But the storm broke ten minutes from time. With Linfield leading by a goal to nil Celtic were awarded a penalty. As Walker stepped up to take it hundreds of Linfield supporters rushed on to the pitch and attacked some of the Celtic players, resulting in a broken ankle for one of them.
The following day the directors issued a statement part of which said, “The attack on our players was without parallel in the annals of football. The protection afforded to our players was quite inadequate.”
Rumours that Celtic were going to withdraw from the league were soon confirmed, and Belfast Celtic ceased to grace the competitive scene at the end of the 1948-49 season.”
Belfast Celtic were a successful, non-sectarian, Norn Irish football team, modelled unequivocally on the philosophy of our great club. Similarly, they were hated by the bigots that made up the majority of the people and organisations of the province because of their association with Ireland, catholicism and political nationalism.
They were hounded out of existence by these hate-filled people and organisations.
Our enemies want nothing less. That is why the positions taken of many of the power brokers in !994 are dramatically different from those of today.
To destroy us or, at least, keep us in our place, a strong and dominant Rankers is required. Therefore, they must be ‘propped up’ anyway, anyhow.
By giving up on Celtic, as many are threatening to do, because of the actions/inactions of others, make it more likely that Glasgow Celtic, not Rankers, will go the way of Belfast Celtic.

Historic Celtic top signed by the slayers of Rangers (In Administration).
Fellow Celts, I need your help.
My parents recently had to go into full time care in Wellburn Care Home, Lochee, Dundee. Run by the Little Sisters of the Poor.
Welburn offers incredible residential support for those in need in the Dundee area. It is only a viable concern through the dedication of the sisters and volunteers and fundraising initiatives such as sales of work, coffee mornings etc.
The sisters need cash to maintain the home for the benefit of the residents, you cannot visit there and not be inspired by the work the sisters do.
All our favourite players have signed the top which is in mint condition and in a fantastic presentation box.
You can support the work of The Little Sisters Of The Poor by bidding for this Celtic top signed by the first team squad at this eBay auction.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

That TRAC report, surely Miller wouldn’t pass a ‘fit and proper’ test?
Where does this leave them?
This was posted on Twitter yesterday by @RoadtoLisbon.
brilliant article from four four two from 2007 by Chris Hunt-all about The Lisbon Lions. Great read if you have a bit of spare time!

A couple of years back we were in Los Ramblas having a beer and lunch in advance of the Barca game ( WGS manage we were beaten 1-0 ) when a Spanish news camera crew came round the various bars and restaurants.
They came to our table and they were asking fans what they thought of the prices as complaints had been made by locals that prices were being hiked up because we were in town.
Having not yet received the bill we explained that we could not comment as were unaware of what the charges are yet. The reporter then asked us why was it that, two sets of fans from the same country and same city, could behave in their city totally differently. Why could Celtic fans ‘behave with respect’ (quote) whilst ranglers ‘behave so badly’.
It’s not just us !!!!!!!!
PS I was just about to explain the cultural make up of a CelticFC bhoy compared to a cultural ‘ger’ (is that an oxymoron ???) when one of our guys summarised with –
” cos their Scum”
Not sure what Spanish is for scum but message was received and understood by said reporter, wonder if it ever made the Spanish news :)))))
