Companies have a statutory duty to produce financial reports in line with commitments made to shareholders. The failure of Rangers to fulfil those commitments was put down to a lack of clarity over the future outcome of the on-going tribunal with HM Revenue and Customs. As a consequence of this failure, trading in Rangers shares have been suspended by the Plus Stock Exchange.
The Plus Stock Exchange also told Rangers broadcast partner, STV, they were “currently conducting an investigation into the circumstances under which Craig Whyte’s seven year disqualification from acting as a director in 2000 were not disclosed at the time of his appointment to the board of Rangers FC on May 6, 2011”.
Rangers today suggested there was “little, if any, tangible benefit for the club to be a listed company”. This may be true but the benefit of a listing is heavily weighted towards shareholders and creditors, who should have received structured financial information in a timely manner. Shareholders have also been denied the opportunity to attend an Annual General Meeting, which, in line with stock exchange rules, should have been held before 31 December 2011.
Many of you have watched Rangers speculate wildly for over two decades with the feeling that they would crash and burn. This has been a painful period for those who follow clubs who stick to budget, unprepared to take a seat at the roulette table. The day of reckoning draws closer.

RATM- sorry to hear your sad news about Thom, love folk naming there dogs after Celtic Players . The Celtic Dogs never lose the faith unlike us mere mortals. They give Celtic and you and the Missus ‘Unconditional Positive Regard’ win lose or draw. God Bless the wee man he’s gone over the Rainbow bridge to Paradise ,sounds like he had a great life.

Easy out mate, just watch ITV london.
STV won’t get your viewing figures so advertisers will stop using them.
And your missus gets her soaps. Simples!

It’s about the music. Brilliant arrangement.
If you enjoyed Kirsty ; here’s her dad, singing one of his great songs.
Check out Christy / Planxty’s version afterwards.
P.S. The Queen loves this song, too ! :>)

Hayes would be a good signing as back up for James Forrest. Perhaps the Paddy to Killie on loan stories may be true.

My 2 pets named after Tic players were
Dixie
Alfie.
Dixie was a wee mongrel. Virtual pint for getting Alfie.
Clue – He wasn’t a Rhino or a giraffe:-)
RATM,
our bhoy is 8 and I am already terrified of him not being about.
If you don’t have a dog you have no clue what you are going through.
Thom – class.

I understand the integrity issues for all supporters but having read Paul67 article he seems pretty adamant and has also clarified this by stating someone at Celtic has confirmed this to him that it is an SPL board matter.
My thought re. Employing a solicitor to provide an opinion is that this could then be put to other fan bases in order that together all supporters could go to the SPL and play the integrity card in order that they change the rules to remove the remit from the SPL board and pass it back to its rightful place with a GM passing a Qualified Resolution. If supporters were providing evidence that the SPL rules are flawed and they did not act prior to OldHunCo going bust, to tighten the rules it would discredit the organisation more than they already are.
Don’t know if any other Bhoys would be willing to contribute to employing a decent solicitor?

If Moonbeams Murray was happy to have Rangers trade on ther Plus stock exchange with his 85% of shares why is Whytie running scared
Cheers guys, my wee mum never approved of the name, but my dad and both granddads loved it funnily enough!

I don’t know much about him to be honest but having spoken to a few guys who know him this afternoon they believe it will be a great move for him and Celtic. A few texts have been sent between them so im pretty sure its 100% on. HH

Kittoch- party was good though the wee yin got swollen glands and tonsilitis now! Had Stokes hat trick @ 10/1.
Seville67,
He’ll have a long life yet I’m sure, Thom would have been 16 this year so he was getting on. He was arthritic and tired and I could see it hanging over him, still didn’t make it easier to see him just lying there though!

That’s correct.
It’s a matter for the SPL board.
Once it’s been referred to them.
By a 90% vote of the members.
Keep your money in your pocket, just write to the SPL and ask them.

i got a Jack Russell pup for my christmas …Jinky
the way he charges about upsetting my other two dogs (yes, three dugs in ma hoose…mental)…i should have called him Bertie
Kittoch,
That’s a great name, and has a cracking wee story behind it.

*we had a Golden Retriever for 15 1/2 years, he was called Padraig Pearse, we called him Patrick for short. Gone 20 month now and we still miss him, weans and grandweans tae.
Does anyone know what rule Speirs was just alluding to when he talked about a “little known SPL clause” relating to Rangers situation with PLUS?
As to Flanders’ last point there …. Terry, anyone, the next time you call this muppet can you ask him if he accepts the situation with Rangers is a concern not ONLY for Celtic fans, but should be a concern for EVERY football fan in Scotland?
These people are STILL acting like this situation has no impact outside Ibrox.
Every club in the land will be affected by this. Every club. To claim we should concentrate on our own club and not concern ourselves with it is a pure piece of nonsense. This directly affects us.
RATM,
It’s not easy losing a faithful. loving pet; but it is not easy to watch them suffering either.
Enjoy your perpetual supply of bones, Thom.
From your namesake.

In what way do you interpret it to be a SPL board matter after it has been through a GM and Qualified Resolution.
Are you suggesting
a) that it is for the board to communicate the GM’s decision?
b) that the GM Qualified Resolution instructs the SPL board to vote as to whether NewHunCo are afforde OldHunCo’s share?
c) they will swing it anyway they see fit?
MWD
This latest calamity by the hun could hit them really hard. Before this any of the clubs thinking about buying their players must surely think that if they wait a few months these players may become available for nothing.
Why pay anything for Jelavic now when he could be without a club before the end of the season?
Dog names…. mine is a westie called Henke.

If only he went for bones and not my footwear! It used to be my dads when I was young but when I got my own house, he just switched right over to mine! Boxing day 2007 brand new boots for Christmas…ruined…haha, bloody dog!

Already putting together my letter to SPL requesting details but doubt that I’ll be afforded a reply as an individual supporter or they will obfuscate.

Nothing worse than taking a pet to the vet, to have it put down.
Fergus ( yes after him ) our wee Westie left not a dry eye in the house, when I had to do it.
Through time you’ll be glad he died in his own home, and didn’t need assistance to die.
Tontine Tim
we had a Great Dane …Jonah after the rugby player Lomu….he was enormous ..about 4 foot at the shoulder
massive dog ..died when he was 7 (reasonable age for the breed)
what a devastating experience that was …think the Mrs would have been happier if it was me :¬))
vowed we weren`t getting a replacement (we had an German Sheperd)…however my daughter caught me in a weak moment and got me to promise if CFC won the league i`d buy another dog …WGS cost me a fortune
dunno if you remember but the plan for the previous Ibrox game was to make VIDEO of the event for CQN so’s we could all have a wee laugh after the event
ended up we lost, so the idea was binned
anyhow, i did take some video that day
one of the clips was of Brian Quinn and co
i wanted to thank him for his efforts…
(hope he wasn’t too perturbed by this)
Brian Quinn on way to Ibrox this season
MWD
you`ll be lucky if they obfuscate …..they may just simply ignore you :¬))
Craig Burley commentating on ESPN for Arsenal v Leeds. Going through the experience of the leeds team he tells us all about Vayrynen’s CL experience with PSV, but seems to know nothing about O’Dea’s with Celtic.

An awful blow.
I’ve been there.
Thirty years ago and I still occasionally dream about that dog.
Bon courage.
Sat down with a cup of tea and a slice of Victoria sponge to watch Arsenal/Leeds
Was enjoying the first few minutes until i heard the co-commentators voice
Not for nothing is my mute button on the remote known as “The Burley”
