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.

I wonder if the poll which put the seperatists in the lead last week has been a defining moment in the whole process?
It certainly seems to have galvanised the No side to get their act together with industry/finance/commerce big hitters stating their cases should a yes be the result.
When people go into the booth with pen and paper realising that where they put their cross can never be repeated if a mistake is found to have been made I think the natural instinct for self preservation will kick in for the older folk (mid 20’s +).
The weans on twitter and facebook will have convinced themselves EVERYONE is voting yes in their wee cyber world (which they probably are).
Interesting times.
Just wondering what all my Better Together friends are thinking about all these threats and bully tactics from business and finance attempting to sway a vote. Especially those BT’ers who were on the side of devolution and faced down the same reprehensible tactic.

‘Saint stivs, James Connolly would vote YES of course’
####
James Connolly never advocated Scottish independence.
James Connolly was never a member of any political organisation that advocated Scottish independence.
The political organisations he was a member of when he lived here were opposed to the idea of Scottish independence.
Far more interested in Celtic 1888
But
Let me assure you the employees in a manufacturing industry in Central Scotland, I have full responsibility for, their jobs are safe under a Yes vote, with real potential for growth next year, as my multi national employer invests about. £2.5m in our site.
This will go ahead be it No or Aye
Hail Hail

I mentioned at the time…that poll was IMO a fix!

As a daily lurker and very infrequent poster, I thought I’d join the others of my ilk and put my thoughts on the independence debate out there..
If I was still living in Paisley I would be voting Yes in a heartbeat!
==================================
The Nationalists have been running the show for years now in Scotland. Why did they not raise taxes? Why do they only do the vote winning stuff like free prescriptions etc?
Where are these miracle making politicians hiding that will be driving forward Scotland in the new dawn?
The Scottish people are not stupid, we are realists.
Kitkatalba and the rest of the traitors. You have no say on how we scots should vote you deserted our country to live somewhere else so keep your opinions to your self
Us true scots who stay here and work hard pay our taxes spend our money are sick to the back teeth of outsiders especially you Aussie traitors telling us what to do. So run along and play with your sharks and koala bears because your opinions mean nothing to us. Thanks
I will be voting YES
Going to be a bit sad when its all over

The academic research suggested that there was almost certainly going to be a falling away in the yes vote.
The professionals running the campaigns would have been aware of this, as would the more serious pundits and journalists.

What a load of reactionary tripe.
You really don’t know your history.
Wonder if you will be big enough to explain yourself?
Interesting to see how you compare the plight of the 26 counties with Glasgow today?

nice to see lords mconnell.robertson baroness liddell
among others having to work for their expenses and
perks, having been emptied out of the house of lords
to churn out anti yes establishment messages.
they are history . whatever happens ,we have a whole
new political scene in scotland. thank god and i say
this as a 69yr old
old labour people must be turning in their graves at
them working for the tories
the british labour party are now tory lackeys
disgustedcsc
Lloyds and RBS moving their offices to London.
Feral capatilism at work,
Banks which were bailed out by us moving office as they cant risk not having the safety net of our money as a safety net to cover their own professional incompetence
before the 08 crisis and to ensure bonuses since as paper profits increase,following the same well trodden path to obscene profits that we seen caused the original crisis in 08
These feral rogues, their incompetence and amateur approach are why the city of london has changed as a financial centre, spivvery and bonus are the bywords now, no need for laws,sure is it not a free market?- naaaa dont be daft we (me and you) will bail them out and as a society we will undergo austerity whilst your bonus is safe.
The same political establishment, tory and labour could have acted for their people thro the years by law making, instead they deregulated ensuring the current poverty regime for the majority of us.
thats why papers like the FT call our referendum tribalist.absolutely gaulling.the tribe is the square mile and its unhindered ability to err and get bailed out by the public.so much for the free market eh?
The welfare state is alive and kicking, not for the disabled weak or needy but for these shysters whose bonus are paid by us.
Vote yes and empower yourself, these monkeys cant operate in a free market they need our money to bail them and give the impression they are solid, you and I thro austerity know differently
Any word on how the debt carried by these 2 spiv banks debt would affect the GDP of rUK?…..once they move fully of course
Enjoy your morning Celts, be nice we all were the green
:-)

Wakasu for Commons & Mulgrew for Izzy.
Commons has been poor this season and we need the injection of pace Wakasu.
Not the highest fan of Mulgrew at LB but Izzy needs a rest, especially after another week of travel and international football.

The Navy are about to order six ships which, whether you hate the defence industry or not, is a huge jobs boost.
Do you think for one minute that the English will go ahead with that order and/or have them built in a foreign port?
Bawsman @ 8:51
Fair point.
But in the event of a ‘Yes’ vote, the political landscape in Scotland will necessarily go through a period of (perhaps turbulent) realignment: e.g. the SNP’s whole raison d’etre will have gone and the Unionist parties will no longer be beholden to their London bosses.

Do you have an opinion on Irvine Welsh’s recent comments in support if Independence?
Gary67
Dont like Mulgrew at LB , might be a good shout with Wakaso but dont think RD will go with too many of the new guys .
The Scottish independence getting the Celtic treatment from the media.
All stops are being pulled out to halt the momentum of the indy bandwagon.
The worry is all these dithering not made-up-their -minders being swayed by the relentless negative scare stories.

In Free market, which the Tories drive, it needs to go out to tender – Yes
Best bid wins – yes
Why could this not be a Scottish shipyard ? Where the skills are, will they sabotage this
Right off to work ( just as well I’m the boss :-) )
I’m sure that we’ve been promised Armageddon before.

I read your post and for some reason I thought of this.

Bawsman, as I stated, I’m not pro SNP I am pro Scotland/ Scottish! I truly believe we as a people are more than capable of building a better country if we are in full control of our future and that, to me, is what this is all about. I think Scotland could be an example to the rest of the UK if we take this opportunity for change, as staying as is surely is not an option!
How did we every manage to get to this stage? Food banks, poverty, failed banks bailed out, lies & mistrust between friends & family?
If we can’t do a better job on our own, we truly are in a desperate state!
A simple question constantly asked is; how many countries that have gained independence have ever tried to reintegrate into previous regime? There is a reason for this!
celtic champs elect are you for real or on the wind up? Scots who no longer live in Scotland can keep there opinions while true irn bru drinkers can. I left Thatchers Scotland because my choices were very very limited as a teenage boy. I met my wife and live overseas. Been back home when I can make it, once for three years. I am as much a Scot as you, if I had the vote it would be YES. Kitalba is a proud Scot who would vote no for his own reasons. Half of Scotland will too. That is freedom. What you are suggesting reminds me of other political ideologies I would normally associate with far right thinking, we arrapeepul types. Are you one of tony donnelly’s lurkers?

Who knows, but BAE are still recruiting Type 26 jobs for Scotstoun. I suspect that in the event of a Yes vote it would be too late to shift the whole operation elsewhere but only non-sensitive parts of the build would be carried out here.
It’s a nonsense when people suggest that all Royal Navy ships must be built in Britain (not that you did, others have), Daewoo are constructing 4 tankers in Korea.

“You say the same thing to thing to The Exiled Tim (TET)?”
He probably won’t.
That said, I find it very amusing when posters who have moved away from Scotland for whatever reason come on here and tell us the country they moved out of would be best to stay in the union.
I’ll excuse the ones who have moved away for a bit of sunning their later years:)

As you well know :-) the building of military hardware is as much political decision as it is industrial.
eg. the home of the 2 massive carriers being built should be Rosyth but the southern English ports need the work hence they will be based down there.
They are having to do a massive amount of building and dredging to house these monsters but that’s the quid quo pro for them being built/assembled in Scotland.
No way in the world would any English MP consider for a second building their warships in Scotland if the vote is yes.
The double whammy would be that the very skilled folk who design and build these ships will move to where the work is.

“another week of travel and international football”
Gary67,
I thought izzy wasn’t on international duty?
For 300 years Scots have been deployed in the armies of the British Army, the British establishment owe much to the lives given, Scots have at times suffered casualties in disproportionate numbers in comparison to other parts of the Uk
Apparently it’s ok to source ships planes armoury weapons equipment from around the world
No jobs for the Scots though they don’t deserve it !
Better together … it’s clear even those unionists amongst hate is beyond reason
