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?

Bayern are my favourite Euro club. Used to go see them when I was based in Mittenwald.
I’d love them to lift the big cup on home soil.
Hail Hail.
RFC are cream crackered – hee hee hee
The fat lady has started to clear her throat – hee hee hee
The firing squad have taken aim – hee hee hee
The countdown has just begun. 10 – 9 – 8 – hee hee hee
(I’m getting into the mood – hee hee hee)
Cosgrove talks openly about being an altar boy.
He is no Celtic lover but he is certainly not an Uncle Tim.

3:00 am a ‘phone rings in a dignified bedroom
Walter: (picking up ‘phone) What?
Ally: Walter? Walter? It’s me! Ally!, you said ‘phone anytime
Walter: Aye, but furfuxake!! It’s three in the effing morning!
Ally: Tell me about it! anyway, that lafferty got right on my thruppennies! He says he’s got a hernia and we promised him an operation and now he’s no’ gonnae play!
Walter: Did you say he could have an operation?
Ally: Naw! Ah telt the team that we were gonnae get rid of a big useless lump round the baws, then ah gied Mervin Celik his jotters!
To all you Bayern fans on the blog, I’m sorry to say that I’ll be supporting Real (hush your mouth) if it means that Celtic will only have to play one CL qualifying round. It’s all very well having a second team to make life interesting (mine is Barca) but let’s be sensible fholks. Forza Celtic!
Cosgrove is a media harlot – notice how his accent changes for Ch4 compared to the one he uses on Radio Shortbread?
Wouldn’t trust him an inch
Lets see if he keeps up tonights approach when hes talking to a Scottish audience

I also read a bit of the DR yesterday, didny pay mind you, just stood at the stand and read it for about 10 mins and put it back, and at E 2.30, not a hope in hell that I would have bought it anyways……
Love the link,how daft are they?This isn’t their doing it’s the guy on the grassy knoll’s fault.
Chelsea fans are huns without the airfare.
Seriously, apart from all the other stuff associated with them, their support simply don’t deserve a Champions League final. The place was dead in the first leg- think what CP would be like for a group stage match and compare that to Stamford Bridge last week.
Modern football is now designed to reward people like this unfortunately, simply because of where they are based.
And another thing…just because the huns love of Chelsea isnt reciprocated quite as much, doesn’t mean a sizeable proportion of their support don’t hold repulsive views which are hunnish in nature. Thats the very reason many Rangers fans are attracted to them, after all.

should have been Wednesday….yup! Neil Lennon!
As it was always likely that the CL winner would come from a big country and that club would have qualified for the group stages from their domestic league …. Is this Real Madrid story correct ?
I don’t mind Rangers fans supporting Chelsea,it’s good they’ll have someone to cheer on after May.

^^Essentially the situation if Real win La Liga and CL.
Scottish teams are 15th instead of 16th (in the link), so, no, we won’t be pushed into the playoff round.
Not like an MSM journo to get things wrong
Can anyone post a link to the Cosgrove interview cant seem to find it on Ch 4 site
tgcw
Lol :-)))
OG Rafferty:
Thanks for the responses earlier.
Until we meet again…
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Can I just say.
I claim Daryl King as my pet Orc. Not sure if it’ll be possible to train him.
How wonderful it would be to sit in the SSB studio just to watch him in full flow.
I hear Kleenex have asked if they can sponsor him.
Stupid Stupid Stupid HUN but serious comedy gold.

part of the iberian Peninsula I think…
Prediction, Bayern get to the final and the English media turn it into the usual re-run of 1945.
I would prefer Bayern to win but if it is true about Celtic only playing one CL qualifier if RM do the double then I’ll be supporting Madrid.
Owen ‘Barclays Premier League’ Coyle.
Well said ‘ jock steins celtic’
He is an ass kisser of the highest order.
I suspect he is looking for a job in the media once he is punted from Bolton.
I just watched Channel 4 News there. Stuart Cosgrove was brilliant – he played a straight bat and told it as it is. Fair play…
Just to back up Dirtymac, the only beneficiaries of a Madrid win in the CL would be the champions of Switzerland (joining us in Q3) and Belgium (straight into group Stage).

Cheers just been skiping through the comments while watching the telly
Don’t know where the late entry stage for Celtic in the CL appeared but…..
@SPLstats: Had a few people asking whether any outcome can see Celtic entering the CL any later. The blunt answer is no. They will have to play 2 rds

I haven’t bought a paper for about 14 years,but if I can get a read at an interesting story,I’ll grab the chance.
I would say the Rangers story,Now, is an interesting read.
I can’t believe they all still want the cheating scum to survive after about 20 years of robbing the footballing public,as well as the rest,and they still want our sympathy.
