I didn’t comment on reports earlier this week that the SFA would allow Rangers International to complete an internal investigation into alleged links between Craig Whyte and Charles Green as I thought this was the appropriate course of action.
The SFA acted correctly: they wrote to Rangers International expressing concern over the matters in hand, and received assurances that their questions would be answered by an independent panel. Last year the football authorities were slow to enforce compliance with predecessor club, Rangers, but we can hope they apply a little more pressure this time.
News, released last night, suggesting after it was established Craig Whyte had been struck off as a director and would therefore face disciplinary proceedings, he had dinner with SFA chief executive, Stewart Regan, and president, Campbell Ogilvie, is far more concerning.
Mr Regan assured us that Mr Ogilvie, who he admitted was “heavily conflicted” by matters concerning Rangers, would remove himself from matters concerning the club he was previously a director of. This is meaningless if both parties met to discuss disciplinary matters with Mr Whyte before formal proceedings were underway.
What is increasingly clear is the co-dependency between so many characters in this play, including Regan and Ogilvie. They exist to keep each other in a job. This co-dependency will be jeopardised by the one man so many are attempting to paint as the only villain of the piece. Craig Whyte has them all taped and will not go down quietly.
It will be a frustration to many that the bottom half of the Scottish Football League clubs have held out for a bigger share of the trickle-down pie. Odds on a schism opening up between community and full time clubs have to be high.
Many thanks to everyone who has ordered (below) Willie Wallace’ autobiography, Heart of a Lions. It goes to print this week and will be with us soon thereafter.

Che, subtle as ever.

Like yourself I was surprised at the wording at the time, and as I tend to do, I tried to get clarification of the wording from his Party. Do not think it was prepared, in fact if I remember correctly it was a live soundbite on the news, relating to the supply of bottled water from Scotland.
St. John Doyle
Yes I get that.
Doc
He is as subtle as a crutch to the head..o)

Eddie Ahern and Neil Clement receive lengthy BHA bans
Group One-winning jockey Eddie Ahern has been banned for 10 years after being found guilty of breaching three British Horseracing Authority rules.
Ahern was found guilty of conspiring to commit a corrupt or fraudulent practice, intentionally failing to ensure a horse was ridden on its merits and of passing information for reward.

Poor William from Bathgate,I feel sorry for him
“Jim,Jim are you there Jim…i’m climbing the walls Jim…i’m feart tae pick up a newspaper Jim..there’s just nothing good comin oot it Jim..a was one of the 30,000 Jim..but i’ll not be renewing Jim…Jim..Jim..av had enough Jim..ah don’t know whit tae dae Jim..Jim..Jim..are you there Jim.

Che
Forgot about that..
Celtic Mac et al
I think he may have been referring to the fact that Scotland takes her name from the Scots tribe from northern parts of Ireland that settled in Argyll in the sixth and seventh centuries and not to the Plantation of Ulster
Just to add to The Boy Jinkys post, a memory of mine that might jog your memory, if you can support The Kano Foundation.
My Dad and his mate lifted me and my Brother over, if they hadn’t we couldn’t have gone, at least not as often. Lots of local kids were annoyed every week when they asked to get lifted over only to be told, sorry lifting the wee man over.
Up the stairs at the Celtic end, two cans of beer stuck soon the trousers, never got searched, the Auld Fhella and big Jim got a couple of cans for the game. We got a badge for doing it.
If you can, it doesn’t have to be any particular amount but it seemed to me I had saved a fair bit on my season ticket, is I’m giving some to a kid who, although I can’t lift them over the turnstile literally, in a way I am.

Authors foreword
This article seeks to examine the incredible and traumatic journey undertaken by those seeking justice for the Hillsborough 96 and to see what lessons can be learned for us in the Rangers family. It in no way seeks to make comparisons between the loss of a loved one and what has happened to Rangers football club in the last couple of years. We in the Rangers community, know from personal experience, having suffered our own disaster, that no such comparison can ever be made. Why you may ask then is a Rangers blogger, seeking justice for his club, even mentioning the Hillsborough campaign for justice – the answer is quite simple – their story, their efforts, their determination, their ability to overcome considerable odds – should serve as an inspiration for people seeking justice everywhere.
#######################
Some posters have already told the author just how offensive this comparison is, his response is that deidco should adopt the fighting spirit!
Just don’t get it!
