Delighted to hear Ronny Deila is planning to rest players ahead of Tuesday’s Cup Final. There is plenty to be gained from playing the next wave of Callum McGregors at Inverness tomorrow, and little to be lost in the league race.
Our unique position in world football, a club who are so massively bigger than all others they are not involved in a proper competition to win the league, has more drawbacks than advantages, but we need to exploit this position by developing emerging talent when the stars align.
The morning after the day before the Slovakian media were very respectful of Celtic. There was an acceptance that their assessment of Celtic was based on two unrepresentative performances against Legia.
Perhaps the most encouraging aspect of Slovenian coverage was the appreciation of the “modern football” Celtic played. Assessments of Maribor’s chances in the return leg were pragmatic. Expectations are low, but with the tie level, they know they still have a chance. Hopes are, that Maribor’s misplaced optimism is viral, and that Celtic will be infected by the same disease.
Celtic’s job on Tuesday is to make sure they treat Maribor as though they were Bayern Munich.
Oh Malky. You and I both know that football is remarkably indifferent to moral uncertainty, the actions over the last 24 hours of the thoroughly reprehensible League Managers’ Assocation testify to that. Practically anything is forgiven or overlooked, but only up to a point. Malky MacKay has been implicated in attacks against Chinese, Koreans, black people, gays and Jews, quite a unique full house.
Cardiff City have already leveraged this to obtain a grovelling apology and have now cost him a seven figure contract, offered by his friend at Crystal Palace. Question is, after the controversy dies down and the obligatory contrition is served, will another club offer him a contract? I don’t think so.
As far as the football industry is concerned, Malky’s unforgivable sin is not racism, homophobia or anti-Semitism, these matters are often overlooked as ‘banter’, after all. He’ll not get another job because he blew millions on players who were useless to Cardiff.
That’s the only kind of offence football really tales notice of.

When did you last attend a game?

The outstanding loans are certainly secured on the Albion and I think Murray Park.
The only thing you can be certain of with Rangers at the moment is that no one really has a clue what will happen next with them as all sorts of contracts deals and agreements seem to come out of the woodwork and the blue.
What time does the game start
I see Kellie Maloney wants ti be a man again, jist when I was begin in ti fancy her as well, typical wumin, canny make her mind up :(

Agree with this 100%.
We strive to be anti-sectarian and anti-fascist. Who decided being anti-social is the third string to our bow?

The live updates article will be up at 12:00, could someone leave a note here?
Thanks.
bsr,
Signed yet ?
I’m sure The Rangers would be glad if Sally went to Palace. They would get rid of a useless manager and a huge salary without having to pay him off, then employ someone cheaper and better.
Only problem is that Palace aren’t looking for a useless manager.

Re your friend. IMO you had every right to turn your back on him under the circumstances.
(Bear with me on this,please. Anyone who disagrees,I’m happy to discuss it at the end)
Depression is a very difficult thing to live with,but even more so when you don’t even realise that you have it. Resultantly things are said and done which drive wedges between the sufferer and those who could be a support system for him.
This most likely leads to serious remorse and guilt about his actions,driving him even further into the darkness.
The worst part,other than the remorse and guilt,will be the utter bewilderment as to why he should suddenly,occasionally,behave like that,and especially towards those he holds dear.
You and others could only deal with him at that stage on what you saw with your own eyes. He became someone you didn’t like.
You weren’t to know that he didn’t like himself at such times.
No-one did.
Had he been diagnosed earlier,I’m sure he would have been able to manage his illness much better.
The tragedy is that he wasn’t. And that another life was lost to an abhorrent illness which can largely be controlled once diagnosed.

Two centre backs, keeper and subs from Maribor game should play, change everyone else, CG and the centre backs need to get on the same wavelength quickly.

Sounds like a sensible plan to me. Totally agree.

Sevco set to bring out the new DVD………….”The McCoist Years”
bsr,
I hope he’s as good as his press if we are signing him outright,
Are we signing him or on loan ?
T.D.
methinks you would have competition for Kellie’s fair hand and cauliflower ears. :)))

Your question earlier, and link to Shorties dick
Wilson?
IMO Wallace’s time spent on The Journey must be coming to a close. I don’t expect any of the current incumbents to be in place when the huns mkiii emerge.
Old Guard ranjurs men will be drilled and wheeled out amid much pomp and circumstance when The Journey is complete. ( Hearts will not stop them.)
McCoist sadly too will be a goner, already elevated above his station, he will be called upstairs to sit with the other legneds and given a title- Most Worshipful Bawbag.
Wilson like many of his colleagues who are also on The Journey is simply preparing The Way.

Buying – £2.4 million
Sammy writes to the Prime Minister re Tax Case appeal. Gets reply from HMRC. FFin’ incredulity:
“We are committed to tacking tax avoidance wherever we see it, investigating and closing down schemes that we believe do not work. Tax avoidance is about bending the tax rules to gain an advantage never intended by Parliament. Avoidance often involves contrived, artificial transactions that serve little or no purpose other than to reduce the amount of tax someone pays. Those who use avoidance schemes put additional burdens on the vast majority who pay the right amount of tax. We have been consistent in our approach to dealing with EBT schemes, and have not singled out Rangers………I think it would also be helpful to clarify that the recent tax case is categorically not the reason why the club was put into liquidation. It is a matter of public record that Rangers was placed in administration by its principal shareholder and director because it was unable to pay its creditors, including HMRC. At the time of liquidation, published court papers showed that the undisputed tax that was owed by the company was approximately £21 million. This is an entirely separate issue from the amount in dispute due to the former owner of the club’s use of the EBT scheme.”
——
‘ “Tax avoidance is about bending the tax rules to gain an advantage never intended by Parliament.”
That’s utterly astounding. Basically avoidance means cheating.’
——
“HMRC will keep appealing thus avoiding the need to have an enquiry about the shameful and illegal leaks which fed the RC press feeding frenzy which contributed to the toxic climate that proceeded our engineered downfall”
HMRC setting the record straight re- sevco

heres hoping HMRC get their wish
Is the game on telly today? Or is it 1230 due to the European game?
Monaghan1900,
The letter also told them the police investigated leaks and found nothing, like a few on here ignore what they want.
I’m with those that think the back 4 should play today to build up their understanding…

Ambrose. Denayer. Van dijk. Izzy

————- Pukki. —————-
Or even a start for young Liam Henderson…. Anyone know how far away Tonev is from starting..?
bsr,
That frightens me, we’re none too successful in signing centre forwards a try before you buy deal might have been more prudent.

…… apparently we will only accept an apology from those we love or like and the rest are insincere eh ?
====================
No.
The point I thought I was making was that his statement, and the one on his behalf by his union, was full of excuses whilst saying there was no excuse.
If I did not make myself clear than I apologise unconditionally but please note that I was just out of bed, my wifi signal was a bit iffy and have you never been less than precise when writing.

If and when and prob. Sevco or RIFC win the next tax case, then HMRCs will appeal again, and that’s the stage of the game when it gets taken out of Scotland and goes to London , all bets are of for a RIFC/ Sevco win then my friend, it’s just a matter of getting the case out of Scotland.
Think izzy and Michael should be rested
Somebody posted last night (Bada I think) that only one player remains in line up from Wednesday.
Intwesting.

Marrakesh,
You’re s#?t and you know you are? :)
iki,
The bottom line for me is that stress does make people act out of character, he made an apology and tried to explain why it was out of character, me I’m prepared to accept that.
It’s the Christian thing to do after all, no ?

Now,that hits the spot.
