There was some misunderstanding that Charles ‘Emerald’ Green’s suggestion that he was hoping to “invest in the playing side right away” might not play well with major creditor HMRC. Capital introduced to the company after a CVA has nothing to do with a creditor’s assessment of the offer and, if anything, would offer comfort to HMRC that the company would be able to maintain future payments.
The comments are more of a challenge for the football authorities. The independent SFA appellant panel will today assess whether to increase, reduce of remove Rangers 12 month player registration embargo. Rangers narrative for the last two weeks is that this embargo could put them out of business. Apparently, they need to spend MORE money in future to ensure survival.
It remains to be seen if playing victim does them any good at appeal but Green has brushed this away, Rangers now plan to put a team on the field to win the league and reach the Champions League. Maybe not the wisest PR move.
John O’Hara, the Celtic secretary, had been unable to lure Kelly. Glass, however, was indefatigable and said he had ‘camped on his doorstep’. The 22-year-old was talked into taking part in Celtic’s first ever match, a 5-2 win over Rangers. ‘No Kelly, no Keltic’ became a catch phrase summary of the towering centre half’s significance. ‘I knew that if I could get Kelly, the rest would follow’, said Glass.

Are you a hun? ;)
rangers in administration back in court on Friday before Lord Hodge between 09:00 & 10:00.
No idea why.
Paul,
Any info on the possible investigation by HMRC into footbal image rights across the whole of UK football as a tax dodge and implications involving us.?
HH
Wow a direct Hun allegation!! Probably for the first time in my life…….Na sorry to disappoint I’m 110% non Hun. 100% tim.
Don’t see why the decision today can be delayed – or should be.
Hun I was talking to on Sunday in the pub insisted that the Scottish Cup Final this weekend was going to be stopped anyway. According to him plans had already been made among the Orc hordes to ‘wreck’ it.
According to him, ‘You’s’ (Meaning Celtic and the SFA) have made them even more sectarian than normal……and Scottish society was going to suffer retribution as a result.
No remorse, no apology, no feeling of guilt. Just sheer naked hatred and a bloodlust for vengeance.
According to this clown, he would happily be the first ever Rangers suicide bomber. And his son would be the second.
A lunatic, who I fear is not alone in his lunacy.

It must have been hard to keep a straight face.
I have to say, that in this day and age i thought that the Hun filtration methods used would be a bit more advanced than four blokes typing “Are you a Hun?”
How about ” that Ally McCoist, ain’t he a great manager Istanbulcelt?”…… p.s the answer is No!
istanbulcelt: “Na sorry to disappoint I’m 110% non Hun. 100% tim.”
What about the other 10% ;)

Paul – see your point re the people who will vote in the CVA being happy that there is money there in the future. However, if they manage to get only 5p in the £ then this is only £750,000 for HMRC (off £15) and then they may potentially lost the FTT cash if they Newco anyway (bill of £75M would surely scupper them), why would they want this?
Clubs must also be indignent that they manage to do this as others have paid their bills, and suffered on the playing side.
Regarding the double contact matter, would they carry any penalty in a Newco?
On a separate note, get voting for Celtic here! http://www.scvo.org.uk/scvo-events/partnership-2012/#2
Istanbulcelt,
OK, you are a hun , feel better now?
Welcome to planet CELTIC, look forward to you points of view.
Cheers matey

You’re quite right. Getting soft in my old age. “craic with some lovely tim folk” – note the lack of a capital “T” – he thinks we’re daft.
As Paul mentioned the other day, if the clubs vote for money over sporting integrity how can they possibly complain if players, coaches or the MiBs take money to influence a game?
They could just go well the league did it, why not me!

Yeah I had to check the official site to see if he was still with us such has been his impact. I would rather we got rid of every piece of dead wood we have throughout the team and it’s good to hear the manager make noises pointing this out, he isnt daft.
Rather than go out and buy players at £5m like this guy from leicster though I would rather the youth be given a chance to impress first.
Cervi, K Wilson, Loovens, Du Ri, Blackman, Juarez, Bangura, Rasmussen, Murphy, O’Dea can all leave in my opinion as they have brought nothing to the team. With M Wilson & Big Dan already leaving that is 12 squad places up for grabs.
With all the talk within scottish football of a new outlook on developing youngsters rather than splashing cash on disappointing foreigners who fail to impress now is the chance for some of our youngers players to grab their chance rather than the club wasting millions.

Henriks Sombrero @ 11 29.
Is it reasonable to assume that Hun suicide bombers don’t do walking away ?
Henriks Sombrero – My mate txt me last year after he heard four huns on his train openly discussing the best way to burn down the Smiddy in Partick during the Huns game. Petrol bomb thru the door or window. He knew I was gonna be there so told me to watch out. Nothing happened thank god but that’s what we are up against in this lovely wee country!

You just failed the test as all Tims think FPLG is the greatest rangers manager they have ever seen.
Pumped out of CL, Pumped out of Europa League, Pumped out of League Cup, Pumped out of Scottish Cup. Throw away a 15 point lead in the League.
As far as I am concerned you cannot beat that…
I would be surprised if hun suicide bombers had the brains to make a bomb that actually worked…
Ah, hun suicide bombers,eh,hmm . Can we all chip in and maybe buy a far off island somewhere where they can all practice, sound good to me.
With regards the hun in the Eurovision song Contest, how about, Gone with the Wind or Away with the rangers

Josh Thomson in or out ?
McGinn & Towell already away if reports to be believed.
Brozek & El Kadouri leaving has also created space.

Mills would be an excellent signing. Exactly the type we need. A leader, an organiser who is very good in the air at both ends of the pitch.
He won’t cost £5m, he signed for Leicester in a £5m deal but since he fell out with manager and hardly played they’ll have paid no where near that. I’d reckon he’d cost about £3m cash, and if we can use Wilson as part of deal could get it down to £1.5-2m.
He would be worth it. Central defence has been neglected in terms of spend in recent years. Other than Loovens we have dealt in frees, Bosmans and punts on youngsters.
I find this soap opera boring these days, I would much rather have Neighbours……
It has simply dragged on too long and something needs done. This is the longest Administration known to man…..
The beauty of it all is the their support are gutted….
Whats was the pld saying again? For every fiver they spend we’ll spend a tenner?? heee heee

I see RangersMedia’s “end of season report card” gives Ally an A+
About what I would have given him myself actually. It’s not every manager who can get pumped out of Europe by two pub teams, get knocked out of both domestic cups early bells, finish 20 points behind in the league after having a 15 point “head start” and still keep his job via a few silver tongued platitudes right out of “How to Cheer Up Huns and Influence Officials.”
If only Paul Le Guen had known a rolled up trouser leg and some mock playing of the flute would have kept him in his job ….
Really, the praise they lavish on this numpty really is beyond belief. They really do buy into all this “No Surrender” guff. On a day like today I almost hope they stay in the SPL. It will be worth it just to see this horrible little balding fat man try and make a horse race out of it. With administration no longer available to him as an excuse, it would be interesting to see how long the adulation of the masses (can I say Mass in relation to them?) lasted.
For me, I am thrilled they hold him in such high regard. Long may it continue.
The smarter Huns on Snyde etc .. Are seeing through Green et al..

I got to say I’d prefer us to sign a been there done it type of CB who’s about 30. We badly need to get some experience into the team.
re: Hun suicide bombers.
we should worry just as soon as they learn not to use live ammo in their triaining sessions…

We should not jest. What is the next step after ‘assault with a bomb’?
A message has been sent out from our courts to every would be nutter that bomb making does not carry the weighty punishment that a decent society demands. If you hear people daft enough to openly discuss this lunacy in public then there is only one call to make.
If it were an Islamic Fundamentalist discussing bomb making what would you do?

“To be honest I was goggle eyed – must have looked like Craig Whyte !
“I know this guy. Knew he was a hun, just didn’t know the full extent of his hatred.”
You can never underestimate the extent of their hatred. Their club was built on it. We are talking ideology here.
A Hun I know was convicted of gun-running for one of those daft paramilitary organisations – sad to say it wasn’t a shock even though I had no idea he was involved with any of that stuff.
If this boy Mill’s is free I would take a punt on him…. Sven wouldnt have signed him for no reason…
Worth a punt IMHO…..
