Following RangersTaxCase’s information that Rangers-HMRC First Tier Tribunal report was in the hands of both parties’ solicitors on Friday, I subsequently heard the report runs to in excess of 300 pages. It will be published by the court authorities in due course but I don’t expect anything this week. Any attempt to spin or release excerpts from the report could be considered contempt so it is likely that we will hear nothing formally until then.
Once the report goes live you can expect an already-prepared summary with plenty of focus on what the FTT denied HMRC. HMRC will not achieve a clean sweep, some matters were dealt with correctly, but there will be no surprises on these pages for the thrust of the findings.
I’m looking forward to an entertaining and final dose of bombast from one of the parties, hopefully in keeping with some of the all-time favourites from March 2000, “Rangers are moving on to another level from the rest of Scottish football”, “the Glasgow giants are setting an agenda that no other Scottish club can match”.
That famous article in The Herald asserts “The Ibrox chairman [Sir David Murray] has spent several months and many sleepless nights piecing together the plans which will eliminate Rangers”.
It does, of course, insert the word “debt” into the end of that sentence but sometimes fewer words paint a more accurate picture. While we’re on a related subject, well done to Sports Direct FC for reaching the summit of the Third Division on goal difference. That manager’s definitely worth keeping. Ashley’s money is being wisely spent.

Any CQNers wishin’ to bring back a souvenir of their trip to Barca for ole Dick Byrne should pop into La Boqueria for a nice piece of bacalao.
A load of codswallop
Chas Green now says the people from whom he received death threats are the best supporters in the world.
SICILIA BHOY
Difficult to argue if the result goes against us.
Easy to argue at the moment. Not necessarily about the sentiment,but certainly on the prices.
Heyho,not putting a penny on. I’ll just enjoy the occasion.
Neil Lennon: Brown, Commons and
Samaras will train tonight. Lassad
and McGeouch have stayed at home
through injury. Kelvin Wilson is also a doubt.
Siciliabhoy
Chelsea may have parked the bus in Camp Nou but they still should have lost that game by a mile. I will be happy with a good performance by the Bhoys anything else will be a bonus.
Neil Lennon: We have nothing to lose but we’re not here for a holiday or the tourist attractions. We’re here for the football.
ROGUELEADER 1548
Our words were kind,yes,but yours were,oh so many things.
Neil Lennon: I’m hoping to have 14 heroes
tomorrow night. We have pace and technical ability and came off a good result at the weekend.
Neil Lennon: This is a great challenge for the players and one they should embrace.
Neil Lennon: This is the ultimate test away from home. We haven’t budgeted for anything from this game but who knows.
Spartak are down to their 3rd choice goalie tomorrow night.

there might be sevco street, but its a one way street straight to hell !
A senior moment in my post at 15.30 forgot to name Fraser Forster in goals and Kris Commons on the bench.
my goodness Kirsty Gallagher looking special on SSN.
Jim white looking gormless as per usual.

Ernie @ 12.34,
Nice to see that you’re continuing your struggle for balance.
From which previous SNP Chairman is your quote taken?
What is LENNY talking about,hoping for 14 heroes?
We usually have 14 foes,ffs!
Did you know that LENNYBHOY was in my company on the 6th?
Didnae hear him talking about 14 heroes,didnae hear him much at all after 14 pints.
MEMO to Mrs LB-the 14 pints were mine,your husband was the soul of discretion as you would expect. He also has a marvellous store of Celtic memories,and is very proud of your latest promotion.
When is he allowed out to play again?
Only 2 years til the vote…….
Celtic have conceded just 2 goals in the last 3 visits to the Camp Nou.
Tomorrow will not be a night for experiments. I would go with this line-up
Fraser
Lustig, Wilson, Ambrose, Mulgrew
Commons, Wanyama, Brown, Ledley, Sammi
Hooper
Lustig in for Mathews because of the height advantage at both ends. Charlie is stronger defensively at left back than Izzy. Ambrose was a little careless at the weekend at times so he will need to avoid mistakes. Really hope Wilson makes it, he is in great form. Brown and Ledley need to somehow contain Messi. Victor needs to be a rock in the middle defensively. Commons can unlock their defence with forward passes to Hoops and Sammi.
Realistically we cannot expect anything but following Celtic is not about realism. Really looking forward to seeing how we handle the best team in the world.
RogueLeader – Great post earlier

Good point. If the Zombie club are so keen to “retain” the history of a totally different club, it seems reasonable that not only should they forfeit any titles and trophies won by ineligible players but they should also have to return the prize monies which were awarded to them in those competitions. The simplest and most practical way to do that would be for the football authorities to withhold payments to the Zombies for any future successes until such times as the outstanding debt is brought into balance.

last week I went into a good ole fashioned record shop and purchased a good ole fashioned record, namely ‘Argus’ by Wishbone Ash.
It sounds just as good now as it did in 1972.
