Malcolm Murray, the newly appointed chairman of the Newco club Charles Green hopes to establish, yesterday entertained us with his comments on punishments served on a football team suspected of cheating you for over a decade. He said:
“We’ve had giant punishments already – a European ban, a 10-point deduction, the emotional trauma everyone has suffered. I think, for the good of Scottish football, it’s much better Rangers in the SPL.”
There has been no European ban. Newco will not be eligible for European competition because it is a Newco and Uefa requires three years accounts from participating clubs. They are simply not eligible, they have not and will not achieve the qualification criteria for European football for three years.
The 10-point penalty imposed on Rangers last season for seeking protection from creditors by going into administration is hardly a “giant” punishment. It changed nothing. Rangers were second in the league when it was imposed and remained so. They released no players and went on to defeat Motherwell twice, ensuring they finished the league in second place, earning £900k in additional prize money.
As a punishment, it is the equivalent of banning Ally McCoist from this year’s 100m Olympic competition. Pointless.
Which leaves us with “the emotional trauma everyone has suffered”. Compared to the emotional trauma suffered by Dundee, Motherwell, Gretna, Third Lanark fans, recent events have been nothing more than a focus for some robust rallying calls.
Don’t even start me on the emotional cost of losing the league in 2003, 2005, 2009, 2010 and 2011, all to a team of cheats. How do you measure that? Think back to each day we lost those titles and tell me how you felt about them then and how you feel now, knowing you were cheated.

“Wee Willie’s a great ref….eyes in the back of his heid that boy!”
Willie’s a ref? I thought he was a religious education teacher at a RC school – that’s how he’s always desribed in the media.
C’mon Poland!!!!

The media contributed to the demise of RFC as much as avarice.

So you agree he’s culpable for honest mistakes then?…and no a skillful cheat as some of you internet bampots would have us all believe?
There can’t have been many more overrated players than Milan Baros in the last few years.
The lost title I feel most angry about is the one Tommy lost, and the people who cheated him out of it carried his coffin, unforgivable.
Good thing about the beeb coverage. You can press the red button and select No Commentators but still get the crowd atmosphere.

Lhads does anyone realise, that when all the tainted titles are returned to their rightful owners ,Celtic will become the most successful football club in the world ever.
Won,t they ?
ogilve, there are such things as honest mistakes..but when they happen consistantly, and have a negative effect on the same club time and again, then it must be something else.
Thats all i’ll say.
MWD-Just done that mate,Nevin was one of the options!
Ive got one of them compression hats that Cech is wearin. Keeps the blood flowin in yer napper to keep you on yer toes. Ive been wearing one for the last few weeks.
Been reading the internet and a lot of celt’s still calling this new mob Rangers.
Aswe know they are proud of their history so please refer to them as Sevco FC.
you’ll need more than a compression hat.
Have the SPL commented at all on one of their members going bust?
Their silence speaks volumes, incompetent fools!
At the moment I have Greece on the TV and Poland via internet… It’s all a bit too much though & I’m going to have to decide….
Paul 67 or someone who knows
When do the liquidataors take over at the former club on Edmiston Drive?
After the way the Cezchs qaulified. It demonstrates how inept UEFA are as well.
HH
Get the Poland game on! lol
I’d much rather that Thompson and Gollum don’t make an erse of things, that way they’re seen as inept.
If they perform well then it supports our contention that they only become inept (cheats) when reffing Celtic.
From SEVCO media :))))))))))))))))))))))
“The word Sporting Integrity drives me mental.”
Poland all over the Czechs. Not good enough – clearly they should employ the Levein tactic of 5-5-0 against the mighty, world-beating Brazil1970-like Czechs and make the game tighter.
Poland missing some chances.
Did we really knock back 6 Million for Ki?
It’s not helped by the fact that both games feature a team in red and a team in white.
Ki is better and therefore worth more than Aiden
HH
Campbell obviously desperate for pals after hiding in a SFA cupboard for the past 8 weeks…
Greek top on supporting my hero but never feel comfortable in blue for some reason………………
awe naw, I agree 100%
Awe_Naw
6 million for a player who cannot nail down a first team place…
so we sell him even though he’s worth more??
AsonOfDan
All those players are better than Ki …agreed
So where do you get 6m from ?
HH
Where’s Sammi’s biggest fan these days. Summa?
