The transcript for the HMRC v Rangers First Tier Tribunal (FTT) runs to 1126 pages. It will take weeks, perhaps months, to distil the content into what remains relevant to the SFA’s decision to reject the SPFL’s request to review issues surrounding Rangers EBTs. For today:
Current SFA Council member (and Newco Rangers Head of Football Administration), Andrew Dickson, was cross-examined by Mr Thomson (representing HMRC).
On 18 April 2011, Mr Thomson asked Mr Dickson why a Trust schedule was not lodged with the football authorities, Mr Dickson replied:
It should not “Not necessarily” have been lodged.
When asked by Mr Thomson “What possibly basis do you have for saying that it should not have been lodged?”
Mr Dickson replied, “The SPL didn’t – never contacted us coming looking for it”.
After failing to convince Mr Thomson that lodging the schedule late rendered there no point to lodging it at all, Mr Thomson puts him on the spot:
“I’m asking you about the fact that it should have been lodged. It’s supposed to be lodged early. Just because you don’t lodge it timeously, doesn’t mean to say that you’re not then under an obligation to lodge it, Mr Dickson.”
To this, Mr Dickson concedes:
“Okay, it should have been lodged with the SPL then.”
A current SFA Council member, in a court of law, accepted that Oldco Rangers did not lodge paperwork to the SPL relating to EBT payments, which he accepted should have been lodged.
Mr Dickson’s SFA colleagues decided to reject the SPFL’s request for a review into the matter. You can draw your own conclusions as to why.

Was browsing newspaper reports on Paul Wilson and just read the Sun newspaper report on his death and was enraged to read that they say he was subjected to horrific racial abuse including from his own fans.
Celtic should demand a retraction or else sue.They truly are a scrum rag.

The intention behind what is now considered to be racist language determines whether it is racist or not.
If the intention is to wound , then that is racist.

PAUL WILSON R.I.P.
My memories of Paul are of a Bhoy who was a major part of ” the Quality Street Gang”/
That in itself was perhaps one of the reasons why Paul didn’t receive the hero status that was later bestowed upon some of Pauls team mates soon after in the immediate years ?
Can I say for sure that was the case…no I can’t as I am guessing from the safety of The Jungle ?
I can only imagine how it was to play alongside and be a big part of that young Celtic team of MacGrain, Hay Dalgliesh, Connelly etc, as a young Celtic Bhoy coming through the “Celtic Ranks”…and then to only find yourself in the first team with the aforementioned Bhoys ?
I mention the Bhoys above because they ALL went on to later glories…and some would say that Paul Wilson didn’t ( like Vic Davidson ?), quite reach his overall potential ?
Again, from the outside looking in for myself, Paul gave everything when he pulled on The Hoops, and like many players before him….and since….. some days it didn’t go your way…and yet on other days…..everything you touched turned into Celtic Gold !
Perhaps in some ways Paul was unlucky…but I don’t think he would thank me for saying that ( What do I know ?)…because Paul would probably say to an ordinary Celtic fan like myself that ” He lived the Dream”…and Bhoys like me didn’t ?
All I do know, and I never had the pleasure of meeting Paul…is that he gave The Auld Celtic EVERYTHING he had every time he pulled The Hoops over his heid…
Who can ask for more ?
God Bless and Cherish Paul Wilson in Paradise.
What a squad we have in heaven ?
Hail Hail Paul..gone but NEVER EVER FORGOTTEN.

I remember the drunken sailor song on our supporters bus fae early 80s.
“What shall we do with the Glasgow Rangers?
Petrol bomb the orange bassas.
Early in the morning.”
Green Brigade would be crucified if they sung what I sung when I was sweet 16. :)
Goodnight Paul Wilson…………… You sleep amongst Celtic Giants…and you deserve your place amidst those Celtic Giants…your seat was reserved Paul….. and you will forever be in Celtic Folklore.
Goodnight kid..it was an absolute pleasure to see you in The Hoops.
God Bless you son..and Thank You.
You’ll never walk alone Paul Wilson.
Just had a look at the Kilpatrick Hills.
Cannae see Pete, but the Humphrey looks good as always. Feel a hill walk coming up. Nearly mushy season in West Dunbartonshire’s mystical Kilpatrick Hills.

Someone mention a definite negativity towards Celtic in HITC articles.
I get the same impression.

Will never forget cheeky chappie Ally McCoist scoring into the West end of Paradise and running to the Jungle. Directly in front of me he screamed, “Up to our knees in fenian blood.” Whilst pointing to the red top of his black sock. Wrong wan.
Tommy Burns chose a great friend in Billy Stark. McCoist was a bad choice. Both from a Rangers background. Walter another wrong wan.
Speculative nonsense.
Based on sfa.

Ally.
All I needed to know about him was his remark which infuriated Lenny.
If it hadn`t been inflammatory , we would have heard about it by now.
Loved Lenny`s reaction.
Davie Provan ( described to me by wee Bertie as a nice man ) ran to the Celtic end and delivered the two handed vicky after Kai Johansen scored against us at Ibrox.
