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.

As much as i am a huge fan of Frankie,,,,im disapointed in his comments regarding schooling in Scotland!!!
FUNNYMAN Frankie Boyle has blasted Scotland’s anti-sectarian laws — branding them a “colonial” attack on the working class.
The outspoken comic called on ministers to tackle religious segregation in schools.
And he slammed the SNP Government for targeting the “valid culture” of Old Firm fans.
The Scottish Sun columnist said: “Of course some of the songs contravene laws on racial hatred and maybe even on inciting violence. But that’s a debate that needs to be had.
“Why aren’t we having that? Because it would be really f***** awkward. Sectarianism is a real problem, but it should be addressed by people engaging with each other — reconciliation.
“If we were really serious about this, the first step is to end religious segregation in schools.”
Speaking in a magazine interview, the Celtic supporter added: “Supporting Rangers, being in an Orange Lodge, that whole life — that’s a valid culture.
“Supporting Celtic, waving a tricolour because your parents are Irish — that’s a valid culture.
“You can’t say that the opinions those people hold, the songs they sing, the language they use, are inferior.
“It’s an attack on freedom of speech. It’s the ruling classes telling the working classes what to say and think.
“Here we have a ruling class that has internalised colonial attitudes and says, ‘ban songs, ban words’.”
The Offensive Behaviour at Football Bill followed a string of high-profile sectarian incidents last year.
A spokesman for community safety minister Roseanna Cunningham said: “The overwhelming majority of people are totally committed to eradicating sectarianism and we would encourage Mr Boyle to read the reality of the new laws.”

If you want a guy who will be guaranted to score goals for fun in the SPL, we don’t need to spend £5m on Rhodes (who could be a disaster as he is unproven in the SPL). Offer Boyd £30k a week and over 3 years and we will save over £300k on just the transfer fee for Rhodes, without even mentioning wages!
But then, I don’t want either myself!

Greenjedi. Aye it’s a hard one
But we need to have the top score every year
I mean Kenny miller!!!! Top scorer over hooper and stokes ,
This shows where our problem lies
What is the solution
Just asking bhoys:))))
Hooper is lacking an edge this season. Possibly finding it a strain leading the line.
Rhodes would be first-pick striker,with Stokes/Hooper competing to partner him.
No more Linwood Striker..
Run right over this lot of hammer-throwers…
If Hooper does not perk up his ideas,he could risk being sold on in the summer.
As Tony Watt and Dylan McGeouch slot seamlessly into the newly-crowned treble winners team in time for the Champs League..
Rhodes is the mentor..an Auld Heid on young shoulders….
Bring On The Generation Of Domination
If we are serious about this tainted trophies mean hee-haw.
I can live with that.

Your expectations influence neither the money men nor the football men at CFC.
I just hope for your sake you budget your own finances better than you would if you had the Plc purse strings at your disposal.

What height is Hamdi Salihi?
Carefull singing detective. You might get abused for not toeing the old ” no spend money policy ”
Cantona as president. Lol.
Image him and Cameron :)))
TBB
He’s 6FT 1
Hamdi Salihi is 1.853467882m tall [approx].
His nickname is the ‘Bomber’.
Mo Bangura’s nickname is ‘the Bouncer’.
Play them together and we would have the Bouncing Bomb attack.

Who’s Salihi’s agent?

£17 Billion for a new rail link between London and Birmingham, demolish and rebuild Euston Station and save 30 minutes journey time.
How does that work?

THE sustained personal abuse directed at Hibernian manager Pat Fenlon during Saturday’s match at Cowdenbeath is likely to go unpunished.
Fife Police yesterday insisted that discussions between officers and Fenlon at the end of the Scottish Cup tie had simply been part of “usual procedure”.
The Irishman was repeatedly subjected to aggressive abuse – much of it centring on his nationality – from individuals within the home support during the Easter Road side’s 3-2 victory over the Second Division leaders. However, despite the offenders being clearly identifiable in the stand, no action was taken by police or stewards.

Would we have to hum the Dambusters theme….:-)
Hopefully our scouts have spotted a target man who is good enough, affordable and from Europe (don’t want to many heading off to play internationals in America, Africa & Asia)!

Hooper Scored 17 SPL Goals last Season Stokes 16 SPL Goals..
Sammi Scored 19 His Second Season and Was Sh^te According to Most..
SydneyTim is Right we will Never Win the SPL With these Stats..(It was Me that Told SydneyTim This)..:O(
Although l think Both Hooper and Stokes will Score over 20 this Year..My Point last Year was they Never Produced..(Over the Season)..
Summa

British Transport Police (BTP) are looking to trace about 25 football fans who sang sectarian songs on a train between Glasgow and Edinburgh.
The incident is believed to have involved Rangers supporters returning from their team’s home game at Ibrox against Motherwell on 2 January.
BTP said the incidents took place on the 22:30 Glasgow Queen Street to Edinburgh Waverley service.
The fans involved got off the train at Falkirk High station at about 23:00.
BTP have asked anyone with information about the incidents to contact them.

‘Eric Cantona wants to.stand for the.French Presidency.

If he’s mad I wish he’d bite a few of our politicians.
It’s a consciousness raising exercise on behalf of a number of charities like the Fondation Abbe Pierre.

Magnus I know I don’t , but like to debate improvements that our CEO can make
Dont have a big budget about 6m dollars
I have found that buying quality brings better results in long run
When we buy poor quality materials and equipment we tend to suffer the consequences
But then only been in manufacturing for 20 years across 3 countries , must be luck eh :))

Another top Tic Talk show recorded last night. Check it out……a MUST for all Celtic fans!
Great show with a panel of Celtic fans talking all things Celtic!
Visit http://www.carlukeshamrock.com or download from iTunes or Hail! Hail! Radio.
We have a fantastic combination in Stokes and Hooper. The issue is that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
So far this season We have lost 3 games:
Lost
St Johnstone (h) No Hooper
Huns (a) No Stokes
Hearts (a) Stokes didn’t start, came on 2-0 down with 10 men.
We’ve Drawn 2
Killie (a) Stokes scored 2
Hibs (a) 0-0 neither scored. This is the one anomaly.
For the record there’s a pretty strong pattern in the wins where Stokes and Hooper played together:
Won:
Hibs (a) Stokes scored
Aberdeen (a) Stokes scored
DUFC (h) Hooper and Stokes both scored
St Mirren (a) Hooper scored
Motherwell (h) Won 4-0, neither scored
ICT (h) Won 2-0, neither scored
Aberdeen (h) won 2-1, neither scored
Motherwell (a), Won 2-1. Stokes scored, Hooper came off bench for the winner
ICT (a) Stokes scored
Pars (h) Hooper scored
St Mirren (h) Hooper scored
DUFC (a) Hooper scored
Hearts (h) won 1-0, neither scored
Stokes then missed a couple of games
St J (A) Won 2-0. Hooper scored.
Killie (h) Won 2-1, Hooper didn’t score
Huns (h) Won 1-0. Hooper didn’t score.
Than he came back
Pars (A) Stokes scored
So please don’t come on here complaining about Stokes and/or Hooper. It is a two man strike force when we should be picking from four. 8 Europa League games including qualifiers, Semis of the League Cup and safely through in the Scottish Cup with two strikers. We’re not needing to trade them, we’re needing to support them, as fans, and with back up as a Club.
Mon the front two! BlantyreKev loves ya!

Just so you know. Hooper scored 20 league goals last season.

Long term, the train is the better option. It is a huge investment though the business benefits could be huge.
On the plus side, it would get rid of the carbuncle that is Euston.
I know you like your architecture, have you seen pictures of the old Euston? Beautiful, think Grand Central…but on a grander scale.

Just looked in on newsnow and almost pi##ed myself laughing…….

‘It is a huge investment though the business benefits could be huge.’
There will be business benefits to those involved in the construction.
I’m not sure that the business benefits resulting from the 30 minute saving in the journey time justify the level of expenditure.

“Jockybhoy we banked 5m to make our club debt only 500k
Huns won league.”
SydenyTim you have quoted on more than one occasion that the club debt is 500k. This is incorrect. The 500k refers to the nebulous “bank debt” a virtually meaningless figure with regard to assessing the clubs financial health! To illustrate, a company can delay payment to suppliers in the period immediately prior to the yearend thereby accumulating cash and reducing the mythic bank debt. Total indebtedness has not been reduced at all!
I have not analysed the most recent accounts but have seen estimates of Celtic’s actual debt as being as high as £20 million. Whatever it is it is much higher than 500k.
I am sure you will not let this information deflect you from your unrelenting negativity towards the clubs executives!

You don’t just “debate” improvements. Some of your allusions to what PL did with CFC’s funds have been near to libelous at times. OTT IMHO.
I remember when you were fun to read but that was so long ago.
