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]

Just remember the police are assuming full control when the ‘static protest’ ends.
Stay in company and have the means to video/photograph the numbers of any policeman who approaches you.
I will be there but need to be in other company I am afraid.
Oh! and here is to the title party.
SELF POLICING
If the man or woman next to you starts to get upset :))
Have a quiet word for their own good plod & MSM would like nothing better than bad scenes at FAC to take the spotlight off the Zombies.

I wa at a demo last week protesting against a Unionist government passed law affecting the most vulnerable in our society, the iniquitous bedroom tax, today i will be joining the FAC demo who are at present experiencing difficulties with Strathclydes finest who are instructed by a Labour controlled Glasgow council, a quote from the Celtic trust website
Besides Council and FAC personnel this meeting was also attended by Supt Brian McInulty and Chief Inspector Porte of the Police Service of Scotland. It quickly became apparent that the assurance given the previous evening by the Principal Officer had subsequently been withdrawn and that the police were not prepared to facilitate the movement of supporters from the Square to Celtic Park. We were handed a letter stating that we had not met the requirement to waive the 28 day notice. Specifically, the letter said ‘Having considered your procession notification and consulted with the Chief Constable, the Council is of the view that there are no exceptional circumstances in this case which would persuade it that a waiver of the minimum 28 day notification period is necessary.’
This ill judged law was passed by a SNP government, a law which we all hope will be repealed as soon as possible
CQN joins FAC demo Sat 6/4

Re; SetantaOz
I have been Wondering this Myself..
But..
Over the Years we as Celtic Fans have had to defend the 2 Horse Race of The SPL.. To Non Celtic Fans..
Think of a Actual Horse ‘Race with 2 Horses in it.. I have Watched and Bet on Many..
Would You watch a ‘Walk Over’ the Term for a One Horse race..
I Wouldn’t ..
Remember these are Non Celtic people.. Setanta..ESPN.. Sky..
Over to You Celtic FC..
Summa
I have been in Oz just Under 20Years and the Only Game (League Decider) we Never Got Live.. Larsson Scored and then a Wee Specky Guy Scored.. The Rest is History.. In More ways than One..

I see our old friend Willie Collum gave another refereeing master class during the Fenerbache v Lazio EL match on Thursday night.
———————————————-
he was only showing the italian refs how a real mib controls the game;-)))))
wish the refs would just come out an state to all they are not up to job and need video refs for the big decisions.
every bad decision drives another fan away from football imho
maybe then the fans would not feel cheated every time a bad decision is made
every other sport has embraced technology to allow a fair and just outcome on the field of play
then again in scotland that may be too much for some to handle

Quite incredible that incompetents like Collum and Madden are allowed to officiate in such important games
Not to mention …the pay and the five star treatment in hotels etc …
Really losing any little respect I had for Police Force in this sad little excuse of a country we live in.
They are fast becoming a political animal rather than a service to the nations citizens. Today will be very interesting!
Just seems that anyone can walk for any reason unless you are a Tim fighting for a wee bit of justice in the face of harassment from the forces of evil!!!
Don’t let them annoy and agitate you today guys. A wee smile in their faces will annoy them more than retaliation to their harassment, which I think we are going to see plenty of today!
PUT TIMMY IN THEIR PLACE

“Impeach Grimmond McCrummoch”.
Summi. Setanta give the excuse that they broadcast every celtic game they get
So why are less games released? Is it Celtic?
Good morning friends from a sun drenched clear skied East Kilbride. A beautiful day to be outside. Will be last minute touch and go for Jobo re the Demo but off now to pull some strings…
Looking forward to the demo today. It will be great to meet CQN’rs old and new.
stay safe and let’s enjoy the day Bhoy’s and Ghirl’s, hopefully culminating in a championship winning game.
HH
A prediction………..
Well-intentioned Supporters of Celtic and Football in Scotland will legitimately protest………..
……………………………..and be portrayed as Criminals and part of the problem.
Not part of the solution.
HopeI’mWrong CSC.

Beautiful day in the Rebel County……..

To all those going on the FAC demo today, sorry I cannot
be there, work calls, keep safe.
WE SHALL OVERCOME.
HH.
Good morning Timland.
Can’t make the demo due to family commitments
no doubt i’ll hear all about it when I get to the park.
Would advise Ghandie style passive resistance.
Doc, thats MWD, Jinky and I all up and posting (great to meet last night Bhoys).
Are you still awaiting instructions ?

Cowiebhoy, Doc needs more beauty sleep than us three lookers.
Vmhan, have you made arrangements yet to get to George Sq. from Celtic Park yet ?
Doc and I will be parking at CP about 11, and will happilly travel over with you ?
Can contact us through Bhoy Jinky
Hail Hail
John Terry defends Di Canio – enough said !!
Good luck and safe passage to all those attending the FAC protest.
Take care if you are planning to attend the demo today bhoys.

What a beautiful day to win our 44th clean title.
C’mon the Hoops
Catching up on CQN as I’ve been away all week with my work.
Looking forward to the rally today especially the chance to meet fellow CQNers for the first time. I’m going with Troon Tim Junior but not sure if, at 18, he is too young to stand beside the CQN banner!
And then off to CP – no marching mind – to hopefully see a bit of Celtic swagger and perhaps win the league.
I’m not surprised by the latest developments at oldco, newco-soon-to-be-newerco. This will run for years so the only way to protect Scottish football being dragged down is to have league reconstruction:-
12-12-17-1
The new fourth tier to consist of Sevco & Sevco Colts. It will be transparent with, for the first time, all officials openly employed by Sevco. No promotion,no relegation and matches will start to the East Enders theme tune. Any suggestions for the name?
HH
MWD – he’s mibbee waiting for you “Prince Charming” give him a kiss to waken up from his Dream – about the Demo
Hail Hail
Vmhan when are you heading up? Are you stsying at your Mums? Im going to try and get the 11:08 from Branchton.
George SQ cam will be switched off today!
Cowiebhoy. I’ll leave him to dream on.
