After 11 months of innuendo and unanswered questions the Sun today publish confirmation that Charles Green was a frontman for Craig Whyte. The news will be a bombshell to many but few in the Celtic online community will be surprised.
The Sun today report that Craig Whyte and partner, Aiden Earley, are majority shareholders in Sevco 5088 Ltd, the company which bought Ibrox, Murray Park and other assets from Rangers’ administrators’ Duff and Phelps.
They also claim Charles Green subsequently transferred Sevco 5088’s assets into Sevco Scotland Ltd, which Whyte said was done without his permission. Green was given considerable opportunity to respond to the claims but despite pages of comment does not deny the central claim that Whyte and Earley were majority shareholders in the company which purchased assets from Duff and Phelps. The rest of the story amounts to little more than gratuitous detail.
Where does this leave things?
Whyte’s QC has started legal action, seeking control of Ibrox and other assets.
Duff and Phelps (presumably unknowingly) discretely sold Rangers assets to the man who appointed them and who is currently subject to an investigation into the collapse of the club. Rangers’ liquidators, BDO, can cancel the sale of assets and claim them for creditors if they believe it was not conducted in an appropriate manner – and this is anything but appropriate.
When Sevco 5088 Ltd was negotiating with the SFA Green assured the SFA that Whyte was not part of his consortium. This was a condition of the Newco being granted associate membership. The SFA are now duty bound to investigate (although with president Campbell Ogilvie in place make no assumptions here).
What has any of this to do with St Mirren, you may ask?
St Mirren chairman, Stewart Gilmour, appears to have made a pact with Charles Green, who I hear has given Green his assurance that he will vote against league reconstruction plans, which the SPL are due to vote on 15 April.
Questions like who owns Ibrox, whether the Newco is a legitimate associate membership of the SFA, whether BDO will declare the sale to Sevco 5088 void, in the event this circus makes it to next season, whether anyone will buy tickets to the shambles, all remain unanswered….
…but Stewart Gilmour is making plans with Charles Green. St Mirren fans should be outraged. Mr Gilmour should be careful who he does deals with.[calameo code=0003901714557cf2d2048 lang=en page=134 hidelinks=1 width=100% height=500]

`30s.They were much more open about it.
Job advertisements with: “No Catholic need apply.”
It was the culture of the day.
I often wonder what the politicians of the day had to say about it.

A Ceiler Gonof Rust,
I know, I know,…get to sleep…..
As an ex Edinburgh student-punk ….sick as a dog on the 9hr crossing from Oban to Castlebay, and a baleful look oot the window,…. is as close as I’ve ever come to Barra….before the same ferry took us on to LochBoisdale, South Uist..
There a major swig out a bottle of OVD rum cured very quickly my stomach’s misgivings; and suddenly I was right as rain for the wee back-o-the van journey to my childhood heaven of the white sandy beaches of Sollas, North Uist, a place I wish I could go to more often now.
Anyway, Africa will do. And Ma east coast highland home is where my heart really is.
Uist is like …a lost love affair.
Just like the Gaelic language.

Can`t open those links.
May be an Aussie thing.
I remember in the early 90’s the company I worked for (retail shoe company) decided to move into N. Ireland. I had to interview for a Manager for the Belfast shop we were opening. (As it turned out it was on the Falls Rd – Kennedy Centre) I interviewed a guy in the morning, a guy called Robert from a Protestant community. I asked him how he would feel about working in this area. His answer – “Mr Reilly I have to feed my family” tugged my heart strings. Later on in the day a guy called Sean was interviewed. Similar experience to Robert and obviously better suited to the area. After that a guy from The Church Of The Latter Day Saints was interviewed. He wanted every 2nd Saturday off because of his religion. Sean got the job in The Kennedy Centre, Belfast and I offered Robert a position in Magherafelt.
The Mormon guy was binned. (Anyone who has worked in retail knows about Saturdays off)

Margaret McGill,
Thanks for that explanation. Really wanted to follow up that link. and thought I was going to have to send off for a record.
Anyway…the old favourite, Maggie.
Apparently my grand-uncle’s favourite song.
At the age of 18, he left his two sisters and widowed mother behind in Sutherland..in the family home after his father and older brothers were lost in the family trading shipwreck.
Anyway, he got to New York, met a Jewish girl and had 12 kids.
We used to get presents from America at Christmas.
Anyone get the impression ah’ve cut this story short?

And in my haste I meant to say….everyone thinks this is an Irish song….and it’s not.
It’s a North East American song. Google it.
Beautiful version though Maggie!

Never much liked that song (see: nobody`s child,ten guitars,my way……..sung in Glesca accent ……Sydney Devine style) till I heard that version.
Spectacular.
Heard Chuck mentioned Russian girls in the deal to sweeten Craigy Boy
I doubt he had these girls in mind
Algarvian, here’s that wee “coward” talking last year. I wonder at the mentality of our PR team putting up a teenager to represent the club.
give the kid a break algarvian, ffs, he’s a wee boy.
