Charles Green, like Whyte and Duff & Phelps before him, is asking for admittance to the SPL on the basis that Rangers FC is a distinct entity from its legal identity. While this theory has been strongly advocated by SPL chief executive, Neil Doncaster, by necessity, if you claim the football benefits of being ‘Rangers’, specifically player registrations, you also inherit Rangers penalties.
Although Rangers clearly won their challenge to Lord Carloway’s 12-month ban on player registration at the Court of Session last month when Lord Glennie referred the matter back to the SFA Appellate Panel, as the full ramification of the decision became clear to Green, who then had an irrevocable contract to buy Rangers or its assets, he floated the idea that he might appeal.
The SFA, correctly, decided not to instruct the Appellate Panel until the 21 day period when an appeal can be raised, which elapses today, has passed, just in case Green tells Lord Glennie he’s got it all wrong.
All this has been terribly confusing, not to mention expensive, for Scottish football, but with yesterday’s news that Rangers have a prima facie case to answer for subverting Scottish football for over a decade, the obstacles before Green are clearly insurmountable. There is reason to believe we can quickly reach some clarity.
The SFA must, without delay, convene the Appellate Panel to consider Lord Glennie’s instructions and apply an appropriate penalty on the various legal and ethereal bodies which claim to be ‘Rangers’. If the Appellate Panel suspend or expel what is left of the football club from the SFA, as must surely be expected, all questions about fan pressure, morals and votes become moot.
In this case, history will record the folly of Green’s appeal to civil law as the act which finally killed off any chance of ‘Rangers’ surviving, conveniently letting the SPL off the hook, while Green would be obliged to dispose of the stadium for a modest return to those capable of forming a genuinely new football club at some point in the future.

Steinreignedsupreme,
Thanks again.
I thought that the administrators give way to the liquidators who complete the liquidation (if there are any assets left), do the investigation and then wind the company up at the end.
So the Cardigan has unravelled.

It’ll all stop soon, Brian. ALL of it.
Someone commented earlier about our lack of presence in the top echelons of Scottish football or how few Celtic men have had the big SFA roles (excepting McGinn maybe)…but I don’t want Lawell pr anyone else from any other club involved in prominent positions within the Scottish football- I want such people to be completely independent, and for no club to have undue influence. If we want our people influencing things and abusing their power to gain advantages over others then we risk following in the footsteps of past errors. The huns have enjoyed undue influence amongst the blazers for generations- look what it has done to Scottish football. It should be about fairness to all and preventing any new hun club from re-establishing those old boys networks again. We can only do that by leading the way in our call for transparency. After all we know the huns only want to transfer and project the “corporate governance” of the lodge onto Scottish football. By and large they have been very successful in this nefarious and clandestine accomplishment. But that has to change, and it will, because it must, if football in this country is to prosper fully. Transformation is here and we have to be at the forefront. The old secrecy hidden in shadowy corners will soon be gone just like the club that mostly benefited from its stuffy tyranny.
We have to be the ones pioneering a new open future of transparency and justice- it will cone easy to us because these are values our club have always believed in and aspire to, with some failings along the way. A just and independent governance at the top level is more essential now than ever, because when a new hun club inevitably returns to the top they will be worse than ever: harbouring old, if largely imaginary, grudges, with an insatiable apetite for revenge and a shameless bravura in expressing this to all of us- this is inevitable because the fans, ra peepul, will acquire more influence in the new clubs structure.
It is up to us, as the moral catalyst, to drive on the rest of Scottish football, to insure that none of what has happened occurs again: we need to reconfigure the game with mechanisms to prevent such undue influence and corruption to manifest again.

“Issues” regarding what they can actually call themselves
Have any of our intrepid media found out if Sevco United are able to use the Rangers crest? Anyone? Or do you already know the answer and are afraid to ask that question….
Very soon the only thing linking them with the dead club will be the colour of their jersey.
felt sorry for a couple of huns upra club the other day…..trying to make them feel a wee bit better I was saying things like, “Hope they don’t die…we’ll miss them” and “I’m gettin right fed up with all this liquidation talk” and I thought they were fallin for it……but what spoiled it was smashy in the background whispering……”Naw we wulny”…..and…..”Naw ye urny”…couldny keep a straight face efter that and was well and truly rumbled…darn it!
Midfield Maestro, DB beat me to it – thanks Mark for the text. Paul will pass your details to me – I am in London until Thursday so will contact you on my return to arrange uplift – Cheers.

Everton have sacked manager Walter Smith, with the club out of the FA Cup and one point away from the relegation zone.
Smith has been in charge since 1998 at Goodison Park, but has never taken Everton above 13th in the table during his time at the club.
Some people have said one of the reasons Smith has struggled is because he hasn’t been given enough money to spend on players.
He has spent £57.8m during his reign, but he has had to raise that money himself, selling £57.15m of players.
Before he went to Everton Smith managed Rangers, and took them to 13 trophies in his seven years in charge, but he wasn’t able to transfer that success to the Premiership.
The person most likely to take over seems to be Preston North End boss David Moyes, who took the club to the division one play offs last season, and is hotly tipped to become a very successful manager in the future
I wonder how Moyes will get on with no money… ;)
Fat Sally must be feeling very lonely just now. Sitting with a mitre ball called ‘Walter’ that has a wee face drawn on it…

I can honestly say I no longer have a clue about what is going on with Norwegian Blues.
And that has arrived just in time to match my lack of concern. Meaning I am concerned about as much as I am aware of what in the name of the wee man they are up to.

Scottish Football needs to create a post n the mould of the Commisioner of Baseball. A person who runs the whole game in this country for the good of the game and doesn’t make decisions based on self interest. Obviously I think we would have to go outside Scotland (and perhaps the UK) and while the person must be a fan of football, I think it would ideally suit a Lawyer.
A few prioroties for such a person would be
1. The League setup
2. Youth Football
3. TV & Sponsordhip deals for the competitions.
4. Disciplinary process
5. A full set of rules and regulations
