Pleased to see the Club recognised for CelticLive, the stadium WiFi and content imitative by the European Club Association. Anything which builds our profile at the ECA is welcome.
Today’s Telegraph assures us Newco Rangers chief executive, Graham Wallace, is set to leave the club with his plans to raise £4m at a pending share issue still in the balance. The newspaper further asserts the club is a “toxic brand” and is trying to secure an emergency loan from Newcastle United owner, Mike Ashley.
The club, which informed the Court of Session on Friday that it had only £1.2m cash left, and last night informed the Telegraph it was losing £1m per month, requires vastly more money than the £4m they are struggling to raise in order to finish the season.
Some credit is due to the Daily Record for their splash with photo and leader, “Rangers director Sandy Easdale and a criminal wanted by Interpol tried to negotiate an Ibrox bailout yesterday”. They are reporting two years after Paul McConville’s blog initially broke the news of said Interpol-interested character, Rafat Rizvi.
Rizvi, who can take refuge in the UK as we don’t have an extradition treaty with Indonesia, is allegedly wanted for corruption, money laundering and banking crime, denies the charges, which he has already been convicted of. He should fit in quite well.
As we said at the weekend, irrespective of short-term events, the long-term fundamentals remain unchanged. The only thing to be decided is which of the characters hovering around the carcase will get to pick on the bones.
All credit to Sir David Murray.

Personally I think the best people to make decisions for any country don’t work in politics as they make far more money in the private sector. We have a Scottish government in place. It will need to be supplemented with new talent. Some of that may come from outgoing Westminster MPs, some of it may come from the private sector. Others may come from universities, academics and professors.
Lennon passion,
John guidetti played 87mins in the win over the turk u21 side last night.
He was reportedly dancing aboot at the end so hopefully he’s doing well.
How long did Wee Davy spend in Edinburgh today? 2 hours perhaps?
The biggest country making/breaking decision that WE as a nation have to make and that’s your lot folks.
Wasn’t worth the bus fare……
Who actually owns the Bank of England, serious question and does anyone know how much they have in reserve, not what they are allowed to lend but how much in assets like gold or real money?
I ask as if they had so much money and it was the uk governments money then why did they need to borrow so much from other banks to keep paying pensions etc over the last 10years?
Setting free the bears
Really ! The England fans shouting ” Scotland Scotland get to f@ck we are voting yes ”
Give them a vote !
Cheers for the reply troops. Looking forward to Saturday.

“I was pointing out that not all YES voters have a history of Scottish Nationalism.”
And that in itself worries me.
The SNP have been offering a Scotland-wide vote for Independence for over 50 years now. If Independence, of itself, was so important, why did yiz not hurry it along earlier by voting en mass for the SNP? It could have been here years ago.
P.S. I know you were in Oz for abit of this time but what stopped you voting YES when you were here?

I agree I think we need to see Celtic start to play the way RD wants. It may be a gradual change but it would be good to see signs..

“Personally I think the best people to make decisions for any country don’t work in politics as they make far more money in the private sector. ”
Trouble is, you don’t get to make the decisions unless you are in politics though.
There are undoubtedly a great many talented people living and working in Scotland.
If they can be enticed into the political arena then it could help to create some very radical and innovative policies that are universally accepted and successful.
I would love for that to happen, but if I were this close to the possible dawn of this unfolding I’d be happier if I knew a bit more about where these figures were going to emerge from.
I dunno, maybe you just have to take a punt and see what happens, but it is easy to see why so many people are still unsure about committing to this.
I thought the England fans chants were humourous and just the kind of thing I expect at footy.

Wee Eck’s losing my vote. Too much flippancy and denial in the face of solid argument.
Standard Life; They’re talking pish.
BP – they talk pish, too.
The Bank of England – at it.
Everything’s going to be alright. Really. Trust us. Nae bother. D’you want some snake oil wi’ that?
If you say ‘Yes means social justice and unbound opportunity’ really slowly it sounds like ‘Gullible’…
Rutherglen Main St says yes……………………………and no, and biff take that.
Ray-Sung and I’ve no facts for you today.
MWD says Aye
Even David Cameron calls them effing Tories.
Drambowiecelt
Sorry, couldn’t resist using your typo for a crap joke.
Say Yes to the Onion! :-)
So another wee sea change from Ed.
Decision should be made from your heart rather than your head now that your head has put 2+2 together and came up with 4. 4 apparently is wrong answer now and our hearts will say 1707.

Sandman,
Gullible is believing he ever had your vote.

But it’s a process. A 2 year (at least) process in order to build and prepare (and it won’t end there). There can’t be answers before a decision or all the answers before a decision is made, before negotiations take place.

It wouldn’t make any difference to you whatever it was.
You’d vote yes.
You’d vote yes even if it meant every last one of us was left penniless in the gutter.
Because you are a true patriot and are required by destiny to see your country free itself from the yoke of English oppression.
I’m right, aren’t I?
Geordie Munro – he must be talking about ‘the bored’. :-)

“The point is the SNP’s legislation bears minimal relevance to the vote next week. ”
It bears some relevance. The level of relevance is up to each individual to measure.
It is relevant because it shows that they did not support the Jack McConnell patient but rather pious educative approach to the contentious area of sectarianism, an area that lacks even reliable definitions to guide its work. Instead they replaced it with a piece of sh** legislation that should shame a 5 year old drafter of law, wherein they widened the definition of sectarianism to cover anything that the police accepted might be deemed offensive in their eyes, they specified it as applying only for those journeying to and from football matches, and they showed a great deal of bias and concern about the lack of timmies being arrested under previous legislation for their political chanting.
Therefore, it displayed tendencies towards Authoritarianism, Snobbishness, traces of past religious bias which they have been trying to downplay, and an inept attitude towards drafting of laws.
If you are not concerned by a drift towards Arbitrary Police powers being operated without due political supervision, or about an attempt to hinder the sense of freedom involved in being a football supporter or the expression of Irish or Irish-Scots identity, or about legal incompetence, and the populist inconsistency of the SNP party which would form the first and most likely the second ever governments of an Independent Scotland, then I think you may just have found yourself turning into a party hack.

Nice one mate,small steps (ouch) on the road to recovery mate thats good news.hope mini and mrs BT urnae pullin yir leg to much :-)

Aow,
It’s certainly not the no campaign he’s referring to.

England fans singing Scotland get to f#ck followed by Rule Brittania, was hilariously thick and funny in an ironic way.
Yes/No referenda are so binary.
they don’t cater for people like me who appreciate a healthy bit of grey area.
More grey area please (various shades thereof).
New Poll has Yes 53% – No 47%
#Handgrenade
Syd..lol …..The Onion would make ye greet:)
H.H.
Scots voted for independence before and won not that it happened. They got Maggie T instead. Lets not forget that.

A poll was taken in my local in Clydebank an hour ago. 29 said Yes. 3 said No.
Mind you, it is a Tim shop.

“in 307 years we will decide on who should replace oor favourite Basturdies …..”
I see you plan to nurse your wrath and keep it warm. Whatever happened to the Yes vote being more passionate, forward thinking, vibrant, tolerant, sort of self-praise pish?
MWD
“I thought the England fans chants were humourous and just the kind of thing I expect at footy.”
100% agree.
I also take the same attitude to the OO marching to save the Union in Embra- I laugh and point.
Your guys seem to be taking them seriously as part of your Project Fear tactics, though.
The McGlashans are saying “Aye! That’s different! cos that’s your side that is!”
As politics, it’s right up there with “Yir maw’s a…”
Ernie,
a few people have made the point that you don’t answer questions put to you, I never paid any attention to that, but 3 times in the last couple of days I have asked if you go out onto the streets or round doors campaigning and apart from a flippant answer about panning my windows in i have had no reply, is all your campaigning done on Internet blogs
steinreignedsupreme – :)
Aye, they grow up fast. He’s been after my coffee and e-lites too. (thumbsup)

“But it’s a process. A 2 year (at least) process in order to build and prepare (and it won’t end there). There can’t be answers before a decision or all the answers before a decision is made, before negotiations take place”
I accept that there will be a great deal of uncertainty whatever way it goes, but to my way of thinking there ought to at least be some areas of mutual certainty. A certain amount can be done on the hoof, but there seem to be very few areas of agreement at the moment. Bearing in mind that half the country are unlikely to get the decision they want, that doesn’t strike me as being a healthy precursor for the future of these discussions.
davidopoulos –
Can’t believe they’re making a film out of this:

===========================
No, lads – I know nothing.
Nothing at all. Not compared to the ferverent neo-politicos who’ve sprung up around the place.
I guess us ordinary voters should just keep quiet, ask no questions, look for no answers and sit shtum in the shade of luminaries…
