Close to 100 people agreed to participate in the Scottish FA’s disciplinary panel, as Neil Lennon put it yesterday, “for the love of the game”. Processes were established and although panel members would meet and be introduced to club officials who were subject to their decisions, they were granted freedom from publicity in order for them to hand out punishments free of intimidation.
This freedom has now gone.
Such was the reaction to Ally McCoist’s public demand to know the names of the panel members who judged the actions of his club the SFA felt it prudent to select panellists who were happy to expose themselves and their places of employment to the outcry the original panellists endured. IF they uphold of increase the penalties.
On Wednesday evening we should find out whether intimidation of the SFA works.
The biggest scandal of all is that despite the consequences of McCoist’s actions, the SFA have taken no disciplinary action against him. Rangers officials are free to react to the appeal judgement in the same manner as the original without fear of consequence.
Other managers who are pursued for more prosaic matters might consider the SFA panel have something personal against them.

Best atmosphere in my 15 years following Cetic has to be the Motherwell game last season when we did not win the league but oh, how we celebrated how good it is to be a Tim

It was a joke, I think. A rumour that the BTC appeal was about to declare and the sum owed was a beautiful round 67m.
It would be too much, I think the joy might kill me.
so now it’s the green knights agree a deal. Hmm sounds like another bit of propaganda.
Is this something to worry about Paul or do you think it is part of your prediction on paisley or airdrie being their new home. hopefully not the latter as I have just moved to ML6.

Rumours that the BTC had been sorted, they owe £67m, and Hector not for doing any deals.

Aye its right up there…
But you know what even at near 50 when walking to Celtic Park no matter who were playing, the closer I get the more I start to feel like a wean on Christmas morning, the hairs on the back of the neck stand up, and the old butterflies kick in.
Its magical.
You cant buy that, not even via a CVA
Big Nan
There were two Cullen brothers.
I know the one you are on about.
He died a few years ago.
I kid you not he had a dog and called in Blue.
Whenever he was asked why he called it Blue ,he kicked it.
TT
not like the Laptop Loyal to try and upstage a big day for Celtic with a pro-Rangers story? even in their dying days they remain as pathetic as ever
really wish I was at Celtic Park today, though I’ll just have to content myself watching it down in the pub!
Good morning friends and Happy Celebration Day! The weather in East Kilbride could be a bit better for this great occasion as it’s pretty grey, very windy but at least its currently dry. Who’s buying the first CQN round later then?
Right; that’s me off, into the car and on up to Paradise. Don’t start without me. See you all up there. I will be the one with the green and white scarf above my head singing you will never walk alone. HH
Tony McKelvie @TonyMcKelvie
If anyone fancies a bit of Sunday morning research, see if you can find anything substantial behind Chan Fook Meng. Off out. Later.
@TonyMcKelvie He’s director of a Co called … wait for it … Green Glory !!!!! http://www.cdrex.com/chan-fook-meng/1014553.html
Watching it in the pub today unfortunately, but will lap it up just the same. Mon the Hoops!
Looking forward to my trip to the Park today with my brother. To all Tims throughout the world, enjoy your day because I know I will.
Mon ye Bhoys in Green.
Hail Hail
BurnbankBhoy
Will Ticketus get a mention at the 10am news conference ?
PS Meant to say as opposed to being at the game of course. God Bless the Celts!
Not going to be at the game today – wedding stuff to be done (3 months to go…) and I used up my brownie points coming up for the ‘last ever’ old firm game. That description will now be consigned to the history books along with 100-odd years of unsurpassed bigotry as again these bids for R(ia) are more desperation than reality.
Have a great day Bhoys and Ghirls, enjoy the party!
oooft
peaked too soon, fell back asleep and just woke up..
better hurry; original holy goalie picking me up at 10…
following on from that Tony McKelvie tweet

Sounds like my man. Surprised he lasted so long the way he drank, but seriously good blokes and a good bus.
Jimmy? Cullen, R.I.P.
Dog Blue, R.I.P.
Will surely only be a press conference naming this guy as preferred bidder subject to checking Rangers unblemished account keeping.
What was that guy called? Fook Mee Jent Lee?
So according to the BBC a deal has been agreed and Green will now carry out due diligence. Anyone else see the flaw there?
Whyte gets out of the way and Green comes in. But what has actually changed?
Today, I’m going to Celtic Park, I’m sure I heard them singing, there’s a party on over at my place.
Today, I’ll think of my Grandfather who saw the Johnny Thomson play, and inside I’ll
thank my departed parents, that gifted me Celtic.
Today I’ll wish I could still hug my brother who used to sit beside me, and introduced me to my team and my cause.
Today I’ll carry this gift we were bestowed like a badge of honour for absent friends, present friends and future.
Today is title day at the miracle club of Glasgow, what lucky human beings we are, none luckier than me, because I’m fit and able.
Today I’ll think of the beautiful minds that frequent CQN, thousands more who’ll be there even when they’re not, but who you can feel, right beside you in spirit.
Today, I’ll think of Vanessa, Oscar and for parents I know, that don’t support our cause, but have a sick child and spend every day at Yorkhill Hospital, and don’t need to know, but they too have benefitted from kindred Celtic love.
Today I’ll think of one Celtic Supporter who saw the opening day, but died before the last, he’s gone, yet he loved Victor Wanyama – ‘some player’ he said.
Today I’ll think of the non Celtic supporter who saw the opening day, but died before the last she’ll but up in heaven telling me we borrowed the title again, her gift to her Celtic daft brother in law was shares in Celtic, – she was Celtic, she just didn’t know it.
Today, I’ll think of Neil Francis Lennon’s prophetic words in the same theatre last year, “ This is not the end , this is only the beginning. “
Today is the next day in the never ending gift of Glasgow Celtic, come on over to Paradise
Hail Hail
Compare and contrast-Today in an atmosphere of joy and celebration at Celtic Park,entertained by the team and the wonderful Thai Tims.Last week,the vermin were in Belfast visiting their sectarian and bigoted cousins Linfield,”entertained” by orange bands,while having the begging bowls out to pay all and sundry.I know what I prefer.
…….In breaking news……I’ve agreed to buy lunch this afternoon…………..
I haven’t actually ‘paid’ for lunch yet…………..
……And now I’m away to ‘takeover’ the bathroom………
Shinola!
bourne-Hail Hail.
I’m guessing from the McKelvie tweet that Chan Fook Meng is part of the consortium or has links to Green? Green Glory. Green Glory.

Why Mr McCoist is not a QC…
Liquidation beckons and it’s now Green and Whyte.
The worst case scenario is at least we have another sociopath running Rangers who won’t give two hoots about their fans.
Three in a row!

The magical world of Celtic…
Enjoy your day my friend how I was I could be there..
SP
Does Green pass the fit and proper test?
STV news say Green is only “preferred bidder”
LOL
That’ll last long
DUFFf and Phelps, the administrators of Rangers Football Club, issued the following statement today.
David Whitehouse, joint administrator, said: “We are very pleased to announce that we have accepted an offer from a consortium headed by Mr Charles Green for the purchase of Rangers Football Club.
“Mr Green has secured, via a substantial financial commitment, a period of exclusivity to complete the purchase of the Club and this is expected to be finalised at a creditors’ meeting on June 6.
“The structure and quantum of the offer from Mr Green is such that it is acceptable to us as administrators and, having been in discussions with major creditors throughout the process, we believe this presents the best prospect of financial recovery for creditors.
“Mr Green, through a corporate vehicle, has entered into a binding commitment to inject funds into the Rangers Football Club plc so that the administrators can propose a Company Voluntary Arrangement which, if approved by creditors, will result in their claims being compromised for specific amounts and the company exiting administration free of the historic debt and with new owners. Work on issuing a CVA proposal has already started and will proceed with utmost urgency.
“If the creditors do not approve the Company Voluntary Arrangement, the agreement obliges Charles Green’s purchasing vehicle to acquire the business and assets of the Club on agreed terms, through a newco structure. It is Mr Green’s strong preference to achieve a CVA.
“We would like to thank Rangers supporters for their patience as a purchaser for the Club has been found and hope they will now support a bid that has the capability to take the Club forward.
“We would also like to thank the professionalism and dedication all the staff at Rangers have shown throughout the sale process. Furthermore, we thank again the Rangers players who made a major financial sacrifice to ensure the Club could continue to function.”
Charles Green commented: “I am delighted our proposal to purchase Rangers has been accepted and we are working night and day to finalise matters.
“This is a great football club with a tremendous history and we will preserve that while building a solid platform for the future.
“Rangers supporters have every right to believe their Club should be a success on and off the pitch and that is exactly what we will strive to achieve.
“At all times we will make decisions that are in the best interests of the Club. Not every decision at a club can be popular but I can tell every Rangers fan now that whatever decision is taken they will always be told the truth.
“We will do everything in our power to achieve a CVA and we already have a detailed written commitment from Mr Craig Whyte for the transfer of his shareholding.
“I look forward to working with everyone at Rangers, staff, players and supporters, in building a better future. It’s what this great Club deserves.”
Paul,
I see the Mail on Sunday have an ‘exclusive’ story that Freddie Shephard is behind the latest bid for TFOD.
Exclusive, eh? I revealed this on CQN on Friday!
Lying, dying old media. Just like their pals in Govan.
Ok, so
“Mr Green has secured, via a substantial financial commitment, a period of exclusivity to complete the purchase of the Club and this is expected to be finalised at a creditors’ meeting on June 6.
But then it talks about a binding agreement.
So is this offer binding or not? Is this the end or could Green also do walking away?
