Within a very short period following Rangers ‘success’ at the Court of Session, Fifa issued a statement intimating that while they had not yet heard from the Scottish FA, “in such a case, FIFA will ask the Member Association to take action so that the club withdraws its request from the ordinary courts.”
If Fifa are telling the world this, they have by now told the SFA to take action to ensure Rangers withdraws its ruling from the Court of Session.
SFA chief executive, Stewart Regan, has been satisfied with his hands-off approach with Rangers as this debacle unfolded but such a policy seems to have emboldened the errant club. The matter has now been taken out of the association’s hands, an embarrassment for every office holder at the SFA*. After receiving legal advice yesterday evening, they will tell Rangers to walk away or be suspended from football.
Rangers have yet to accept the dual contract allegation is true and, as a corporate body, continue to refuse to produce or acknowledge evidence. They have not even considered the ramifications of Billy Dodds’ evidence given to the Sunday Herald. They are looking at this situation through a prism of different facts – specifically, Craig Whyte did a disproportionate amount of harm in a short period of time.
The sense of entitlement at that club, combined with a still-evident failure to show contrition for the more serious offences of the last 20 years, while insisting ‘it was all Craig Whyte’ means anything can happen next.
I’ve questioned the wisdom of a few commenters on Celtic Quick News about choosing a path which would lead to the end of our club. There appears to be no one telling the fundamentalists running Rangers that destroying a football club while insisting you are in the right is puerile, self-defeating and what your worst enemies would wish on you.
They might be right (they’re not), but self-righteousness can destroy you.
*except Campbell Ogilvie, of course. Nothing can embarrass President What-school-did-you-go-to.

“It was yerself that brought this ‘one man’ into the blog today, not me. ”
Are you sure??
Your original post reads:-
“I wish Celtic would make a statement of intent and, sign a couple of players.”
And you are always saying that Peter Lawwell is the man that signs the players so that they earn him a bonus.
So, what is it? Does PL do all that is bad within Celtic? Or are he and Neil in this together?

The Titanic pride of Belfast was thought to be unsinkable, but a combination of iceberg and corruption at Harland and Wolff, another bastion of protestantism and orangeism, who cheated on the specifications, sealed its doom.

If you don’t mind me pointing out to you, did the GB, thee most influential section amongst our support, did they not demand that they wanted to see what way, Celtic / PL / the bored were going to ‘swing’ re: all this hun nonsense before they(GB) would commit to buying SB’s ?
I don’t recall the GB being painted, by yourself and others as being, rabble-rousers, paranoid trouble makers etc ? Strange that.

Trying to make sense of it all.
Some comments from press: So Green will only loan the money to Rangers IA if they succeed in remaining the original entity and all the baggage it entails to the sum of 8.3 million which they need to pay back by 2020 at 8% interest.
In addition to this D&P state they won’t need to sell players and that any money from transfer fees (Jelavic etc) and monies gained from their second place (illegal if EBT case proven) finish will go to service said loan.
Meanwhile creditors have lost out on lack of letting go players originally thus cutting running costs and I assume any players now sold will also go to paying of the debt as an excluded asset as part of the CVA.
However Green also wins if CVA rejected by having first offer on Ibrox (with it’s new kitchens), Murray Park with potential new swimming area if global warming continues.
It’s moral bankruptcy with the creditors being shafted again. And How that idiot from D&P can state on TV (albeit Rangers) it’s the best deal for creditors has me thinking that he and is ilk are actually worse than the raging lunatic fringe that are threatening public disorder on a grand scale should our national game’s authority choose to do the right thing and put them all out of our misery..

SPL clubs approve new fair play rules. Decision on newco to be taken by all clubs. No fixed pens for newco
The long wait is over
