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]

Anyone know were in Dublin city centre I could see the game?
Does anyone know if Wanyama is available today?
If sevco 5088 were newco… sevco ( scotland ) must be newerco…. will sevco ( scotland international) be newererco … I get more confused and amused by the day on the zombies
Just a wee thought, if we are meeting at the GOMA 11:45, will we be allowed to move enmasse to the square at 11:55. I have a feeling they “plod” will limit access to rally point in the square after a certain time! Say 11:30. Just passed London rd police station there seems to be more police presence than usual for a match day. Look forward to seeing CQNers today. Hail Hail.
Petula Clark giving it laldy with “Downtown” on Brian Mathews’ programme has set me up for a great day. Where has my youth gone? That was before Mr Stein took over and it seems like yesterday. Ghod, I AM getting old.
Not as bright this morning. Still. since the snow, we’ve had some great weather.

A SHERIFF branded football anti-bigotry laws “mince” — as he cleared a Celtic fan who sang an Irish republican anthem at a game.
Hoops supporter Dion McLeish walked free after fuming Sheriff Richard Davidson said the legislation could have been “draf-ted by someone who has never been to a match”.
He ruled there was “no evidence” Dion, 19, of Clydebank near Glasgow, incited trouble when he joined scores of Celts followers in Roll of Honour.
The lawman added: “In this context there might be a problem with Flower of Scotland. The word ‘mince’ comes to mind.” He let rip after police witness Eleanor Murdoch, 47, admitted at Dundee Sheriff Court yesterday that no one knows how the law works.
Dion was nicked during a game at Dundee in December — and charged under last year’s Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications Act.
Sgt Murdoch, who was on duty at Dens Park, told his trial she believed the song, a tribute to IRA hunger strikers, was offensive. She claimed the song inflamed rival supporters — but admitted she did not mention their reaction to it in her statement.
As he acquitted Dion, Sheriff Davidson said: “There is no evidence his behaviour could have incited disorder.”

watch out today bhoys and ghirls
the blue boys will be looking for some justification for their overtime pay
we all seen how they acted with regards 200 fans making their way to celtic park
‘Slightly concerned’
Speaking ahead of the event, Ch Supt Andy Bates, of Police Scotland, said he was “slightly concerned about the dispersal at the end of the rally”.
Ch Supt Bates said police had identified “three separate routes to the stadium leaving from George Street, Cochrane Street and South Frederick Street on to Glassford Street”.
The city council agreed to the rally but declined permission for a parade
well done all at the city council………..take it the police where at the meeting to voice their concerns
gives them 3 separate routes now to control their agenda

Bassett’s seven-year spell as Blades boss was cut short when Green axed him and they later had a dispute over his pay-off when the Londoner said he didn’t receive his compensation in full. Green offered to sort it out in the car park but Bassett
called his bluff and the tough-talking Yorkshireman quickly backed down.
Eighteen years after those events, Bassett said: “I would love to have had the chance to take negotiations further in the car park. He didn’t want to.”
Dave Basset offered Challs to discuss things further in the car park……………

It would appear that there is at least one lawman with a bit of savvy.
Well done young Dion.

Enjoy the demo today CQNers. Wont be there owing to work getting in the way, hope you make it though bruv. Stay safe and enjoy the gentle stroll to Celtic Park afterwards for the, hopefully, title celebrations.

A Conga from Demo to Celtic Park, what an idea.
Who wants to lead with the CQN Banner ? good photo opportunity for both MWD and the polis
Could we claim a World record for it ? seeing that other mob are claiming all other World Records for whatever
So now they just need to get someone from the opposition to sat they are offended this could bring the courts to a standstill and Macaskill continues to back it and enforce it.

Greens all mouth …. would squeal like paul mcgowan and bleed like the sow he is.
This has the potential to be the SNP’s poll tax legislation.

the Bauld Brigade
Hail Hail
Really looking forward to the demo today, this is a chance for the wider Celtic support to show solidarity with the Green Brigade and send a message that our young supporters will not be isolated.
This I think will be a tipping point for the Offensive Behaviour Act, The ridiculous performance of the Police a couple of weeks ago at the Barras and the subsequent decisions coming from the courts and the crown office will be the beginning of the end for this Act that is designed to criminalise young supporters from all clubs, but it will be our support that will drive the change and see this cruel legislation repealed.
This demo looks like it will attract in the region of 5000-10,000 attendees which would make the largest demo since the anti-Iraq war demo. FAC have done great job in bringing all the strands of our support together to fight against this Act, I believe that the SNP are starting to wobble since the amount of complaints from Councillors and MSPs about the incident with the GB on the 16th March.
If frank Mullholland could spend less time propping up bad SNP policy and laws (which he is not paid to do) then he could look at how useless this Act is and is it worth the expense of the Police and Pfs time to take up court time to possibly give some young guy a breach of the peace conviction.
Lets hope for a massive crowd at the demo and stand up for our young support……. then win the league.
praecepta who part of the BoS demo pre-Bunnet takeover 20 years ago will be there!

(they can arrest you if it does not meet with their personal views)

Beautiful morning now. Hope it remains that way all day.
Stay safe all those attending the Rally at George Square, especially the CQN Auld Brigade, particularly if you try to do the conga all the way to Celtic Park. That would make the national news, I’m sure. That might just be what is needed to strike down this awful legislation.
