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?

as I read all the music suggestions for Sunday can’t stop myself wishing that Stevie (Pablophanque) was still with us to add his unique take on what to play. Get the feeling I would have gone with his choices. He would be loving all this.
Livibhoy yes i went a few times with the tower bus , but mostly by car home and away,i was thinking of going with the livi inn bus for next season.how do you get to see celtic.
Sung by the Celtic fans (myself included) at Tannadice the day we relegated Dundee Utd in 1995, would love to hear another rendition to the Orcs on Sunday.

Don’t know where, don’t know when
But I know we’ll meet again

News just in….
Miss Ellie has just received new information regarding who shot JR…
From STV Website
Jaroslaw Fojut, who will join Celtic this summer, will miss the remainder of the Polish league season after suffering a knee injury.
Fojut, currently seeing out the remaining weeks of his contract with Slask Wroclaw, was forced out of his team’s match against Lechia Gdansk last weekend. He has since undergone tests and been told that he has damaged the collateral ligament in his knee.
According to reports in Poland, after a two week lay-off, Fojut can undergo further tests and begin rehabilitation. He will be unable to play in any of Slask’s remaining games.
The defender is expected to be fit within six weeks and should be able to begin pre-season training with Celtic when he joins the club at the end of the season.
Bendy bananas? Lennons to blame..

Now mind. No more jumping into rivers… and stay away from the Olympic torch route.

SFA have a responsibility for the integrity of football (or words to that affect)
I think the battle lines are clear.
Leaflets explaining what integrity means being air dropped over Givan

I stay in Edinburgh these days but when I’m through in Livi I go with the Livi Jock Stein but have travelled to away matches on the Tower bus and the Livi Emerald. Didn’t realise the Livi Inn had a bus. Is it the Emerald?

I don’t know, is the dull answer
I think Paul talked about ‘the battle for rangers’ souls’ a while ago.i think today is first day. They are in for a torrid time. Delusional, ignorant, defensive, no where to go and in denial. It’s going to get very very ugly.

I see this at the end of the SFA statement. If ever there was a clear indication that they will let them off on appeal:
It is important the Scottish FA, as the governing body, works in association with the Scottish Premier League and Scottish Football League to reinvigorate the national sport.
“Rangers have been part of the fabric of Scottish football’s history and are integral to its future prosperity.
“The Scottish FA must act with integrity and with the best interests of the game at heart. It is with this in mind that we await any appeal from the club.”
Should I be concerned about this conclusion to Stewart Regan`s Report (Link at Celtic Soul Brother`s post at 17.34) :
” Rangers have been part of the fabric of Scottish football’s history and are integral to its future prosperity.
The Scottish FA must act with integrity and with the best interests of the game at heart. It is with this in mind that we await any appeal from the club.” ?

This may have been mentioned but I can’t keep up today.
Lafferty – had to go because one more start would have triggered next payment of 300 000.
Part of Reagans statement:
“The Scottish FA has a responsibility to all its members and must implement its rules without fear or favour.

Well what do we think???

I did not know the Hoops fans sang that song at tannadice.
The first time I heard it was in 1998(?) at easter road, being sung (very loudly) by United fans, as they sent Hibs down!! They clearly learned it from the Celtic support a couple of years before….
Either way, the Utd fans were having a ball that day, at the expense of a very upset stadium full of hibees.
I’m looking for a pair of Thai Tims Tickets for the Concert Hall.
If anyone has any I’d be glad to take them off you.

haha well done lads

LiviBhoy – it is Livingston Emerald.
Can any of the older posters on here remember when Celtic was the main topic on here? It is difficult to imagine how the site could have been so busy without Rangers` crisis to keep us talking!!

It wis me who posted on rtc about the non application of the rules.
The judicial panel protocol can be looked up easily their sanctions are laid out.

garry88 10.05
Just noticed that rangers fine for breaching rule 66 was a fine of £100,000 but the sanction in the protocol is £100,000 And termination of membership.
So is it chocolate box application of maximum sanction seems like it.
No need for spl additional contract investigation result,if the Sfa applied their own protocol to the letter.
JJ
That’s true but the RFCIA story is H-U-G-E.
And it’s not just us…check other clubs/fans websites!

Apparently not true-someone posted on here a few months ago that they got confirmation from Burnley that nothing was owed.This was after the above rumour was first reported.

Estadio? well just talking Estadio
I really hope the constabulary are up for preventing crime at the away end on Sunday and don’t turn a blind eye to the ritual destruction of the toilets, especially as they will be unable to repay the repair bill.
Now for a dessert of double registrations and Hector-bring it on!

I know. I was being light-hearted o:-)

Lafferty £300k was NOT on list of creditors due monies if I remember correctly.
When toxic football becomes like toxic banking.

My take on Reagan statement? Don’t worry boys, your appeal is in the bag once we replace these bloody Qcs with good old Scottish football people.
from SRegan just now
“Rangers have been part of the fabric of Scottish football’s history and are integral to its future prosperity.”
a humble and honourable organisation would be welcome anywhere – am not sure if John MacMillan’s club fit the bill
the same John MacMillan who states today that “no-one has brought more shame on to Scottish football than Neil Lennon”
O.G. thanks for the clarification.

I would be talking nonsense !
