Neil Lennon was in no mood to pull his punches on the subject or Rangers alleged tax evasion for a period stretching over a decade at his press conference yesterday. Asked if winning this season’s SPL by less than Rangers 10 point penalty would devalue the achievement he said, “If we do win it and people want to throw that at me, I will have plenty to say about devalued titles over the years”.
Peter Lawwell strongly rebuffed suggestions that Celtic were in a mood to show solidarity with Rangers should they lose their tax tribunal early this week and Celtic marked the card of Rangers’ political schemer, Alex Salmond, who tried to tell the world how Celtic fans felt about the issue.
While Neil Lennon was keen to focus on tomorrow’s important SPL game against Hibernian, he dealt with questions on Rangers without flintching. Asked about “financial doping” he said, “doping is a sporting term for cheating”
Adding, “In athletics, if you are caught doping you are banned. Alberto Contador got stripped of his Tour de France win in 2010, so there are precedents.
“It’s all hearsay and hot air at the minute. I don’t want to comment on it until all the results and all the findings are out. But if it has had a direct effect on me in my playing days, I will come out and say something at that time. As it is now, it hasn’t been proved.
“They are in administration for a reason and I am sure you guys will get to the bottom of it. It’s not my business, not our club’s business, but it will be my business if it has affected me as a player, or previous managers, and has denied us titles and trophies in the past.”
Conspiracy theorists who have tried to convince the world that Celtic and Rangers have been involved in some mutual preservation pact in recent years will be forced to reflect on the accuracy and consequences of their confounded allegations. As always, our club will only prosper with unity. Persistent attempts to rip it apart will only cause further damage.

Good as Matthews has been, as an out and out wingback, he flounders, and the 4-3-3 has yet to be bettered in my opinion.
About to soak up some quintessential atmosphere from the Hornswagglers’ eleven.
From a tweet, so can’t guarantee the truth of it but:
Ticketus were sold 23,154 season tickets for 11/12, 27,017 for 12/13, 27,014 for 13/14 and 23,154 for 14/15
Holy God.
Union jack hanging at deathstar with “pompey gers” written on it.
My God there’s someone who knows how to back a winner!
200 employed at ipox 300 at Tesco. No brainer for me!!!
Radio Scotland……makin’ yae boak aw day.
Go Kenny, go!
Fuck Tesco…..SLAVE TRADERS!!!
Ticketus must be due money rather than tickets to prevent any ‘funny business’ ie no selling STs for a quid, only having pay at the gate etc
sparkleghirl
Those numbers look about right, they were on the paperwork RangersTaxCase had on his blog a wee while ago.
All somewhere in the region you mention anyway!
Yorkston is an uber Hun,,,willing to ignore the £80-000 the huns owe Dunfermline for the good of Scottish football,,,,utter bull,,,where Rangers thinking about Scottish football when they finished Airdrie as a club for the princely sum of £30-000,,,times like this make me wish we could get out of here,,we are despised in this cesspit of a country!!!
Hail hail

Massed Rankers

no add-ons huns, that would be illegal
Shortbread turns up the choir at Poundland.
So, average of 25 000 tickets for 4 years at 400 each gives Ticket us a ‘profit’ of 67% over 4 years, or roughly 17% per year.
A loan would be far far cheaper than that. Ticketus much surely be a last resort for desperate people?
Are they singing it yet?
simply the bust
playing simply the best
I’ve never laughed so hard
