Before digesting news reports that Dave King is set to return to Scottish football as a director of Newco Rangers, it’s probably worth a caveat. Today’s ‘news’ has the same heritage as pretty much every false steer emanating from Ibrox over the past decade. Honest Dave King may well hope to take over at Ibrox but I could just as easily believe he has no intentions of getting involved.
Two months ago King accepted liability for 41 counts of contravening the South African Income Tax Act, while agreeing to pay the resultant bill, the equivalent of £46m. By act of sheer comic genius he is being heralded as the most appropriate person to take control of Newco Rangers, the club brought about by the disastrous income tax affairs of Oldco Rangers, while King was on the board.
Lord Nimmo Smith prevaricated on some issues in his report into Oldco but he was unequivocal in his condemnation of the directors, including King. South African judge, Brian Southwood, described King as a “glib and shameless liar” in 2011.
In every practical sense this man is a perfect fit for the Rangers group of clubs. Every scrap of information available on how he conducts his affairs screams ‘Rangers tradition’.
As for Fit and Proper? Don’t make me quote a second judge!
In the event the SFA have to make a Fit and Proper decision on King they will have to consider Nimmo Smith’s view. It is not even remotely credible that the SFA are competent to rule on King while their president was subject to the same criticism from Nimmo Smith (although Judge Southwood provides a convenient out).
The narrative being peddled today is a final throw of the dice by some, nothing more. ‘A guy will hunn’ers of millions is coming in to make everything OK’. Aye, sure thing.

good to hear that Anto has played himself back into international contention. He must be kicing himself that he cast himself into the wilderness for the last 2 years. .
Paul67 et al
Had England to win 3-1, funny that the same referee who could not see a penalty for us against Juventus at Celtic Park gives one for what looked to me like a Sturridge dive.
If you hear a strange noise dont worry its just me falling down the CQN predictor league :))

timabhouy,
Sorry, know the man well, you’ll be wasting your time.
The bold Iain would never dream of rocking the boat. He will do nothing to assist Galloway’s motion.
Iain is an out and out Hun – not even a closet one.

No, my mind is made up.
Until the ruling body of Scottish football grow some… My seat will remain empty at Celtic park…think I’ll have a long wait.
My son can make his own choice.
Wee question kojo… If someone stole from you, would you be so forgiven?

This is where i stand^^^^^^^^^^
I will go to all European games ,but will not step into parkhead for the foresee able future,until I see significant changes..
Was asked why I was laughing (out loud) – LOL ing I believe the young things call it. ‘Twas the story about the Jungle Trojan Ducks!!!!! What a moral dilemma that would have been. I might even have bought something from the FOD as a right good GIRUY!!!
I hate international weekends.

I gathered that looking at his vote for me website,
But I just feel better for trying !
Anyways I hope my email makes him feel a bit uncomfortable
Timabhouy,
I would suggest that the former Shadow Secretary for Defence, Jim Murphy, might be asked. He is now Shadow Secretary for International Development, a much better role for a Celtic supporter. He should, surely, have something to say about the goings on by the military while he had the post. I won’t hold my breath. None of them have the courage to take on the unseen hand of the masonic cabal.

In reply to English jacks tweet. .. frankie pointed out the german monarchy of his country and the fact he plays at the Emirates stadium
Could have added the foreign owners of his club. . French manager .. and almost all his team mates are not English
A glib shameless liar….sounds about right
Bet the SFA think he’s a fit and proper person tho
It surprises me not at all, tae read that Stokesly , performed well when he played
oot west …oan the Left…in his International Fitba’.. return.
Ah hid identified Stokesy, as an Old fashioned Inside Left.
Months Ago.
He is a Damn Fine Provider of Chances fur ithers ,as well as a Guy wit an eye fur a goal.
He is Being wasted as an Oot and Oot Striker..especially, a Lonely Linwood Type of Wan,tae boot..as he wiz, by Neil…in A recent C.L. game.
Bobby Lennox, Ah am told.. fur Ah nevah did see Bobby.. wiz a Similar Type as Stokesy.. A much,much… Superior ..Similar Type..
Never the less..
Bobby, achieved his Outstanding Goal Scoring Accomplishments.. in a Role Much the same.. but..of course.. Different..
Anyway.. Bobby Lennox, scored Beaucoup Goals ..but he did Maist of his work Way oot West…oan the Left…as a Provider/Goal Scorer.
Ah believe that Neil , should gie Stokesy the role of the Old Fashioned.. Inside Left cum Left Winger.. especially, in Tousy S.P.L. games..
Where the idea of Celtic Playing Stokesy as wan of The Twin Strikers, is not having the success that it should.
Sammi, is oor Left Winger. of Choice.
No Question, but, he should be used Sparingly..
We want tae save him fur the Euro Games..
And we wid not want him tae Use up awe of his Great Performances, oan ..’
Run of the shop.. Humdrum S.P.Lers,
You know that ta Fitba’ Player ,like a Ball Point Pen.. Has only so much Ink in his
Reservoir?
Ye Dae?
Well. Ah am surprised tae hear that..
Tae continue…..
So, knowing awe that….it wid behoove us no tae Fritter away.. Sammi’s Ink Supply.. Oan the Cheap.

The zombie fans fit that description too
A duck walks into a bar and says to the bar tender “I’ll have a beer”.
The bartender says “Hey! where did you come from?”
The duck says “I’m working the construction site across the street”.
And the bartender says, “Well why are you working construction when you could be making millions in the circus?”
And the duck said “What would the circus want with a brick laying duck?”
TBJ, aye, ask them did your club die?
Lies, lies and lies.
Sad truth is they believe the lie.
Easy to fool those who want to be fooled.
Doesn’t make the lie any less a lie.

Yes it was. Why post about our Pope in a derogatory way?

You have a point , cowardly m.p.raising their heads above the parapit , phaaa !
I emailed the defence secretary but got an automated email stating he only replies to his local constituents hence email to Union Jack (labour) Iain McKenna
Miss Doc showed me the Mega Store web page when I came home, it took a few minutes for me not to think, spoof!
The gift keeps giving.
Almost at the stage I’ll miss them when they’re gone.
Almost.
A man is driving a pick-up truck down the road with a bunch of ducks standing in the back. A police officer pulls over the driver, informs him that he is speeding and then asks him where he’s going with all those ducks. The driver says that he doesn’t know what to do with them anymore. The officer says, “Look, there’s a zoo not far from here and that’s where you should take them.” The man thanks the officer and drives off with his ducks.
The next day the officer again sees the same pick-up truck barreling down the road. This time, though, all the ducks in the back are wearing sunglasses. The officer pulls the driver over and says, “I thought I told you to take those ducks to the zoo!” “I did,” said the driver, “but now they want to go to the beach!”

Been working on the CQN Annual this evening – it is looking spectacular.Just popped in to saw that given we didn’t walk away from Celtic in those dreadful years of the nineties why the hell should we now? We are free of them! We have a great chance to win TIAR and more and to become a really strong team in Europe. They are finished. Ashley? King? The Easdales? Enjoy their pain but don’t take it out on Celtic!
