I suppose we should start by heading the warning from Sevconian under-performer, Ian Black, who suggested that the Third Division is harder than the SPL. By this logic, Second Division Arbroath will terrify the life out of the Celtic defence ahead of their Scottish Cup tie tomorrow, they did, after all, put three goals past Inverurie Locos in the Third Round tie, and again in the replay.
Only Montrose
Having previously experienced the delights of Brechin, Forfar and the Dundee clubs, after tomorrow, the only Tayside club I will not have seen will be Montrose. These opportunities don’t come around often enough!
In all seriousness, Second and Third Division football is not difficult, it is essentially Keep Fit on the cheap. Celtic must deal with the sincere endeavour of their opponents while giving an opportunity for several fringe players to grace Celtic Park.
With our midfield already stretched by injury and suspension ahead of the Spartak game, Neil Lennon will want to guard this area of the team in particular. Spartak play their last game before heading to Glasgow tonight, at home to Zenit, who sit five points about them after 17 games. This is a huge game for Spartak and interim manager Valery Karpin, who will either succeed as interim, and be made permanent boss, or to fail and to also lose his general manager position.
Unusually for the Champions League, they have five days to recover before facing Celtic, a game Karpin is keen to win. Celtic will technically only have four days rest but the bulk of players likely to play in midweek will surely be rested tomorrow.
Spartak will be without striker Welliton, who travelled to Germany for an operation this week. Emmanuel Emenike, who scored twice against Celtic last month, is likely to lead the line. Emenike is a penalty box striker who is more than capable of exploiting gaps in the Celtic box. Karpin may instead opt to play target-man Artyom Dzuba as a sole striker. Dzuba is not a prodigious goal-scorer but he is able to hold play up and bring others into the game.
I loved media suggestions today that Sports Direct have a fight on their hands from other firms if they want their brand used to rename Ibrox. You have to admire the intellectual endeavour that goes into news coverage in this country. Sports Direct area THE key business partner for The Rangers. The only issue open to question is how much skin they are in the game for and what they get in return. Remember this when you’re buying sports kit for Christmas!
Lower league clubs will all surely be quaking in their boots at the news The Rangers will not only bring in well over £20m in a share issue, but could also earn countless riches from stadium naming rights. The leaked IPO PowerPoint presentation suggested the Offer for Subscription would commence on Monday. I am sure it is on-plan.

Deeder than Ole Dead Tom
the_huddle,
we might no need to wait that long, if they win the 3rd div title, we’ll soon see how corrupt the football and tv authorities are.
I expect they will be fprce to come clean before then right enough.
Shit just seen above I hadn’t even registered that they were having some 140 year celebration. How is that possible? Surely the papers, SFA, SFL, UEFA are putting a top to that???
The huddle
As I posted above
Refer them to uefa web site …
RFC haven’t played a game this season
vhman.
Sparkling rose?
Was that not a song by neil diamond. (my first record by the way), lol smiley face hingmy.

I had a look at that UEFA website.
You said it’s updated regularly.
Why do you think there’s still a page on there for a dead club do you think?
Waiting for the final bullet in to head by BDO mibees??

I know I’m coming across as a dick, i’m just trying to play devils you know.
UEFA are knobs (nobs)
Palacio67 no mi amigo, got some work on tomorrow.
Enjoy!
fergus slayed the blues,
He does everything steamboats, don’t think it was a problem for him to delete it…
Talking of them. I was filling out a job application yesterday, had to list my working history. One former employer assisted individuals get back into work. One of my roles was to help them compile CVs, on my Application Form I put CVAs instead of CVs…:)
Good job Mrs. LB proof read my Form.
They are still dead. I’m confident HMRC will fight on; this not about deadco, there is a bigger picture.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Heat starting on Film 4 (or Film 4 +1 in a hour). Brilliant movie.
Everybody know Rangers FC is dead, but fear of social unrest prevents the SFA from pronouncing them dead.
They’re even happy for the SFL to credit The Rangers with 54 league titles on the SFL website.
As far as the SFA are concerned, be under no illusions – Rangers live on.
Palacio..,
not heard anything about Lenny and the GB, begining to think it was a sop by the board to try and diffuse and demote the issue, take it out the limelight and hopefully undermine the sympathy the GB were receiving.
The bhoycott is still on for tomorrow, so we can take it the club havent moved.
Their hostility towards the GB appears to continue apace.
The Huddle – a world record number of responses in such a short time.

They need to pretend they are the same club and the MSM and the SFA are more than willing to help them pretend they are the same club ,because if the gullible sevconians ever wake up to the fact they are not the same club then they will no longer part with their cash and turn up at the illusion dome .
They had sold 600 ST until someone had a wee word in Charlies lug and he played the bigotry card , before you know it he was beating them off with a big stick.
what do sevco ,MSM and the SFA have in common ….they all need the gullible to part with their cash .
Anyway Ho,Ho Santa will be here soon and I believe in him even though I’m nearly 50

—————————–
There we go, if they win the league it should be 1 3rd division title against the history column on the SFA/SFL website.
So 5 Months time we’ll see if who what is new co
SPF, when was the last game played by RFC, check the website, then check the same website for our last game, or Hibs, or Aberdeen or any other non dead club,
TRF International Club are trying to convince you they are the same club, they are not, not legally, not morally, they are in liquidation. Just because the followers of that now dead club follow a new club that bought their properties, doesn’t make them RFC 1872.
The are a new company, that means they are a new club, in every sense.
Who are this ‘rangers’ that you speak of?
Never heard of them
Their died fact, forget what they say
just act accordingly.

Can I have Raspberry etc.
Being a taxi driver in Glasgow, it’s believed to be Clayslaps Road, which runs between Sauchiehall and Argyle, opposite The Art Galleries. (where the Ashoka is!)

Was Mother India, in its original incarnation, not on the corner of that? I remember people said it was on the corner of the longest and shortest streets in Glasgow.
I believe it was a pub, no idea of name. Anyway, how about streets named after battles!
i think everyone called them huns or new huns
I swear I saw rangers down the chip shop
Ha ha, auld Blotto getting reined in, only a matter of time before he faces criminal charges.
Seriously, he is dangerous- not him per se as he is a blundering washed up old fool- but the nutters hang on his every threatening word.
the_huddle,
there are many who believe Elvis is not dead :o)
same thing innit :oD)))
Djbee
the Burns …make you unwell…come oot in a rash
The other pubs are fine…Pwick good for a night out
Listened to SSB tonight (OK I know I shouldn’t!). Caller asked DJ if TRFC had ever signed a player from the Republic of Ireland. Straight away he said “Chris Hegarty”. So that was the debate ended!
I Don’t know the player but checked BBC profile. He is Northern Ireland Under 21 Captain and a big TRFC fan apparently. Is this true or is DJ correct….?
time for t boozers
hail hail
There seems to be an argument about some old club’s history on here so to set the record straight I will list the leagues, cups, trophies and friendly tournement’s they have won in order below
Aye but aint seen Sky or the BBC say Elvis 1 Elgin nil that’s that I hate.
That mentalist KevJung had it right Ipox needed to be burnt down then we’d be all happy.
Since its after midnight I’ll admit the Emenike head line has had this song in my head all night.

Guys what have we achieved on here with our constant crusade that the Huns are dead when we are out mediad with their apologists in the MSM and the broadcast media.We know they are a new club but the more they propagate this myth the more we are left looking like losers.HAve they won again?Are they still the peepul? I can’t help thinking we have been conned,they are the most despicable club on Gods earth thank f… Am a tim HH
regarding them celebrating 140 yrs history they are of course well within their rights to do so ,they played there first game in May 1872 and where only in administration not liquidation in May of this year,one would only speculate as to why they would delay the celebration till after they were declared DEAD maybe CG could answer that one .
Maybe D&Duffer could not justify the expense of a party to the creditors or the face painter refused to turn up till she had been paid for her last gig

Being old school…we’re chasing champions league last 16, TFOD are chasing rainbows.
waited a long time for the champions league to topple the rangers crutch…so long, but so worth it……ethics,morals, hang your heads in shame,busted and imploded. Your rivals are one of the best financially clubs in europe.GIRUPY

I checked the last game played by RFC.
I also checked the last game played by Dunfermline FC. That’s not been updated either. They have their ‘last game played’ on the same day as RFC.
Dunfermline have been relegated not liquidated.
So, I take it they don’t update for teams not in the top league of their country.
SPF
The Huddle.
I tell everyone I meet that they are dead.
I never refer to them now as anything other than Sevco.
Yet I believe that you are right.
Every Sevcovuan that I know , see’s no difference between old co and Sevco.
The SFA , The Media , especially Sky TV, have a vested interest in keeping “The Old Firm ” going.
When the day comes that they play us again , I will bet my house on it our own board will be happy to perpetuate the ” Old Firm myth”.
Yes , they will not be allowed to die .
The media and the Sevcovians will see to that.
That is why I want Oldco stripped of titles.
We all know they misregistered players and therefore cheated.

The huns know fine and well that they are deid. Thats bad enough for them but to admit it to us would be totally unbearable. When the liquidation senario was being touted about a year ago, I heard many of them rubbish the idea. When administration came about I heard the same guys voice their fears that they must not be liquidated as that would mean the end of their history. So liquidation happens and the nightmare becomes reality. The immediate shock and sheer hellish pain overwhelms their senses, until one by one they are fed the party line by spin-doctors leggo, chuckles and jabba. Its the old one called denial. Words are cheap but facts are irrefutable.
It kills them to know that we are loving this.

Cheers PFayr I know the Burns well, never met a more nippy snarled face manager(ess) in my life
it was the one along the road from that I was thinking about

If they were established in May why wait until Dec for a celebration ..
Think they are trying to copy us
