At some point today those who believed Rangers have, or should have, impunity from the law of the land, as well as the rules and regulations of Scottish football, will awaken to the realisation that this is not the case.
Soon thereafter another thought will arrive: what about the impending Improper Registration of Players charge?
Over a decade of subverting every competition they have played in. Denying clubs who register players correctly the right to compete on a level playing field. Grabbing prize money and the abundant financial rewards of Champions League football rightly due to others – more on this later in the week.
This charge brings every domestic and European competition they played in into disrepute and is several times the magnitude than that which Rangers were punished for yesterday. Then consider bringing the game into disrepute by chasing football bling instead of paying taxes, a separate issue from player registration.
The toxicity of these charges is enormous and if upheld will bring punishments appropriate for corrupting over 700 football games. A whole raft of disciplinary procedures has still to take place. If the misdemeanours of the Craig Whyte era have caused distress, those of the old board, including Ogilvie, Johnston and the Murray twins, will soon establish Rangers current owner as a mere footnote in the club’s demise.
Show of hands, who sat on the board that spent £4m on Jelavic two years after the HMRC investigation into EBTs started?

Goodnight Barcelona.
8 on the scorecard for Mascherano’s swallow dive…what an easy goal for Torres…who would have thought!
Should point out that Torres is a Turkish fellow who isn’t liked by Nevilles.
Chelsea are going to do this, and Barca have only themselves to blame
Looks like Guardiola has boobed again. Players like Cuenca + Tello are not first XI players for a team like Barca
Wee Leo the chief culprit tonight. Two very good chances and a penalty missed
Torres equalises. Chelsea deserve to go through
Snake
In his own half
Barca just can’t do it in big games, Guardiola not learning the lessons, too much tinkering with the side, I can’t believe Barca lost to the worst chelsea team in living history…blah blah blah..
On about an English team. One Englishman on the park!
Hardly believable – however no chance in the final, as they don’t have any players left
Long wait
I worked in London for years and got to know one of the coaching staff who when hearing I was a Celt told me the Terry story, also said Morinho also used to ask after Celtic
Fecking Hell Anti Football win again
Fair play to the home fans who are getting behind their side.
Hope Bayern do Jose’s mob tomorrow.
T4
Anti-football triumphs. Sickening
So we’re now in the position of having to support Bayern Munich or Real Madrid?
Sheesh…
Kittoch
Fair dos
Hh
Guess I need to start supporting Bayern of Munchen………
Yuck Fascist Madrid v Fascist Chelsea as a possible final. Is some reality TV dross on that night…….

I feel that if rangers hadn’t been hit with a 10 point deduction and had that joke whyte near the club, rangers would of strolled the league

Got to be a wind up???
When Messi missed the penalty I had the same feeling I had half way through the second half v Killie.
Barca are on the slide, not as slick as last season but Chelsea played them excellently.
I fancied Real to do Barca (if Real get through) but I fancy Real to do Chelsea.
Terry, Meireles, Ivanovic, Ramires all suspended for the final
Real/Bayern will be licking their lips
wow – barcalona , the best passing team i have ever seen quite simply over elaborated. With the shooting power they have in midfield , i cant believe they dont have more conviction – just shift their balance by 20% and they will score more.
Over coached!
Villa 1 Bolton 2 -relegation hopefully for McLeish

Watched them play Real Madrid at the weekend and it was the same. Very tired, bereft of ideas and the imagination we have become accustomed to.
Never thought I would see the day Barcelona players tried to impersonate Celtic players – did you see those without the ball pretending to be scarecrows!
But do Chelsea have any players left? No Terry, Moraeles, Ivanovic, Ramires…
Bayern have some footballers in their side and the final is in Munich?
Hope they win it.
Miserable result tonight
Anti football
And the commies are disgraceful
Neville is an annoying wee squeef
Not a good year for cup competitions
the long wait
Not one of their better ones.
In all fairness they have had horendous problems with injuries to their defence.
I admire how they try to play the game, but sometimes imo, they need to be a tad more direct, they keep looking to walk the ball into the net, against teams of better quality, especially teams who can defend, their plan is flawed.
Fair play to Chelsea tonight, they defended well.
Jeez I really hope Bayern do the biz, it would be the icing on the cake for Plattini and his fair play quest.
Remarkable.
Just a question; if that was us who’d just knocked out Barca with 10 men for most of the game to get into the Champions League Final, would we be moaning about us playing “too defensive”.
Defence is just as important as attack!
Certainly not Barca’s season…….think there will be a few changes in the summer
Wonder if AVB was watching that? Those players are frauds, they downed tools to get rid of their manager.
T4
Both Bayern and Real will be licking their lips.
For Bayern, a chance to validate a sustainable approach to football.
For Real the chance to stick it the world’s football press, and for Mourinho to win the European Cup for the third time with a third club.
For the rest of us, the gnawing fear that Chelsea might finally, after £1 Billion and 8 years, have bought the Big Cup, thus reducing the Game to a bauble for billionaires of dubious provenance.
Still don’t think Messi is as good as Cruyff. Never mind Maradona. Don’t care what all the youff say no one comes close to Pele…who knows maybe one day he will…if he ever gets the Argies a World Cup win.
Barca get what they deserve
Messi needs either a long rest or is injured
He’s a great player but not the greatest ever
Choked on the penalty and then disappeared
Football is more than passing the ball about
WGS had the same obsession with simply holding on to the ball misses a basic footballing fact
Goals win games – how you score them is ultimately not as important as actually scoring them
You dont get 2 goals because you have made 20 passes before you score
Chelsea are a disgusting club from top to bottom
Hope they get well thumped in the final

Concerning tickets for Sunday. Neighbour(fud) of that persuasion announced today at my family funeral that they have decide they rule scottish football and won’t give another penny to Scottish football……or could it be direct debits have been cancelled bank? Maybe P67 could update that bank have stopped playing?
Barca look like they are on the way down. Sad, but inevitable. No-one stays on top forever.
Chelsea are simply a horrible team to watch, always have been, with some seriously nasty fans.
But their togetherness tonight was incredible.
Come on the huns the real ones
Just turned on SSN.
Has Ray Parlour left his barra’ ootside??

Why pay attention to a wind up or a hurting hun? I listened to him on Clyde tonight when a Celtic supporter was trying to find out why he thougt some folk just wanted Rangers dead and used integrity as a cover up.
The guy phoning in did not have the right info on EBTs and King used that to have a go at him. On tonights showing he represents why some folk do want Rangers to die.
Mascherano in defence is a disaster waiting to happen…Barca are lucky they don’t have to worry about defending too often,
Jeezo….if I hadn’t seen it I wouldnae have belived it.
London huns played classic Italian style anti-football.
Barcelona didn’t take their chances and got done.
So it goes. The beast wins.
Gonnae be a keech Final.
Red,white & blue fans : hideous. We’re nevr gonnae hear the end of this boak.
