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]

The headline you wont see in Scotlands Press
Rangers CE Charles Green Exclusive
The Girls Deal Sweetener and the Lies to Dupe Craig Whyte
Whose Duping Who
Ibrox implodes under another credibilty scandal about who is duping who (thats whose lying and who is not to the rest of us)
Sources close to Craig Whyte say he is a virtual prisoner at his home in Monaco after the news broke in the Sun
Sevco deal accused of being illegal. see pages 3,4,5,6,7 and 8 for the historic souvenir special: Ibrox The money The Egos and The Lies

This is only for the UKs onshore shale estimates.
Listening to a BGS seminar last year, speakers were openly suggesting that the UKs offshore shale gas reserves should dwarf our onshore reserves, but as yet, no offshore exploration has been done to make estimates.
But recently ,just over a months ago, the EU parliament voted for the EU to control the UKs seabed, under which any shale gas would be found.

Was planning 5 weeks in October, including a stay in Tuscany, but my mother has dementia and is deteriorating and after speaking to the family, we decided to go sooner rather than later, and 2 weeks was all I could get off work this early. So under the circumstances, 2 weeks is better than nothing.
Good morning Celts, whits the craic?
It would be good to win the league today but first and foremost we need a decent performance from Lennys young Lions, I think we’ll get it and predict 4-0 to the Celts.
Jobo, looks like a nice morning down Greenock way, Gods country as GL2 would say :>)

Mornin’ campers!
Safe travel to all today. With yez in spirit.
Ah’m just sittin’ here contemplating the great beyond and thinking about how only a magical and robust city like Glasgow could throw up such a Machiavellian tale.
Not too many people care except the interested parties ( I mean, what’s CG compared to an F16 or two flying over Korea? ).
How long will their nerves hold out before they find themselves totally backed up against the wall about to get the doin’ of their lives…….from their own.
Reminds me of a pastiche of The Godfather.
Stupidity personified. Greed & idiocy taken that one step too far. Then….bada bing, bada boom (not to take the exalted one’s name in vain, but you get my drift).
Another orange sunrise turning to the palest blue….followed by the darkest coldest night.
Ah, schadenfreude, our now familiar friend……how it keeps my tootsies toasty warm.
HH!
Today is important in so many different ways, if you can get along to George Square for the Demo at 12 then please do so, if you can’t then please share any uploaded photographs or comments from the Demo through whichever social media forum you have access to.
To all oz Tim’s. why oh why has the service from setanta slipped ???
A few years ago 98% of all our SPL games were on, now lucky to get 50%
They say the broadcast all games released , why are less games available ??
Is this just mince. Or is it because eg polsat don’t take celtic games any more
Very frustrating. Broadband in my area is poor. So celtic tv is just changing still pics and buffering :(((
The Bright Sun, melting the frosty dew in the Chilterns…
Good luck to Lenny and the bhoys today, think the Hibees are a good counter attacking team should be a good game.
Celtic 2 – 0 Hibernian
Good Luck to the bhoys & ghirls @ George Square, get to the game safe.
Hail! Hail!

Ano, disgusted. Love the country but missing too much celtic. Doubt i be hear beyond another few yrs.
Only got over few times a year from derry buy at least i saw every game somehow.
Forgot to post this yesterday:
I see our old friend Willie Collum gave another refereeing master class during the Fenerbache v Lazio EL match on Thursday night.
He gave the home side a penalty for an apparent accidental hand ball, after turning down Lazio’s appeal for one earlier on. He also sent off a Lazio player after 47 minutes – Fenerbache scored in the last minute to win 2-0.
The ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’ awarded him 5 / 10 – probably being generous! His four ‘brothers’ – including Madden – were awarded 6 / 10.
HH!!

Morning,
Just read Salmond saying Scotland is giving the world a lesson in democracy.
The demo by the Celtic family today would suggest otherwise.
I love the idea of a pavement conga when we leave George Sq today. HH
