In terms of pure logic, Ally McCoist was quite right to insist, “I can also assure every Rangers fan I will not be accepting any talk of stripping the club of titles. That is something we will never accept and everyone at the club shares this view.”
It is outrageous to put Sevco in the position of accepting Rangers are stripped of previous league titles while due process has not been carried out. The very fact that the SFA and SPL are negotiating with Sevco over this matter is reason enough for McCoist to issue a firm rebuttal. Quite simply, if the authorities are prepared to negotiate, their offer should be rejected until the last moment possible, at which point they will be meekly accepted.
The SFA and SPL must allow due process to take place and remove any need for Sevco to rubber-stamp a judgement on Rangers. It is wholly inappropriate to discuss or agree the consequences of a guilty verdict, or subsequent punishments (losing titles won illegally is not a punishment), until a verdict is recorded.
Due process, please, nothing more and nothing less. If Rangers didn’t illegally register players for over a decade neither they nor Sevco have anything to worry about.

The story before the match was of which bowling attack was the stronger and there was English press questioning of Smith and his captaincy. Wonder what EnglishCricketQuickNews is saying.

A fitting tribute to a great man and a great bhoy .
Will never forget when Mick and me came to see you in Toronto and John kidnapped us for 2 days of bevvy and Tones songs.
John Horner really is a Celtic legend and like all our hooped heroes is immortal!
Hail Hail John , YNWA

I agree that the SFA’s first and foremost priority should be the protection of the game’s integrity at all levels. Until Regan and Ogilvie have both left office, the emphasis will be on self-justification and damage limitation, nothing more.
Could someone aware of the legalities inform me if a Celtic shareholder would have grounds for suing Sevco if thon deid club are found guilty by the FTT? We must be owed millions for their participating in the Champions League when they had no right to do so. Would it be costly?
Been watching the Open coverage on Sky Sport Italia. Had to escape, could no longer suffer the inane comments of Nick Faldo! Even the other commentators sound as if they have had enough of his constant drivel!

Thanks for sharing,great credit to your friend and
yourself.
Have the SFA actually stated that they have discussed the loss of titles with sally…..? ……..or Is sally whipping up the hoards again…..?
As they unfurl the flag they should read out how much prize money we were lost to fraud.
BT – eh naw! Weather wasn’t great, but too warm for soup.
ht – cheers for that, hope Ballatyne was spewing!
Void the tainted trophies, but I like Canamalar’s suggestion of honouring the cheated players & coaches.

Bloke109 –
fascinating contest, pity I’ve to work tomorrow.
I maybe in the minority but I want those titles credited to Celtic!
Just thinking of the time,money I spent in a fraudulent league.The sneering and “banter” directed at us will dissipated when their stripped. Cheats,crooks and contaminate everything about football…than’s the huns!

I hope you enjoyed your trip in spite of the atrocious football
The players should be made to refund your ticket cost
Parkhead……,
Any challenge must be made outside Scotland, I think that’s becoming obvious.
So IMO we need the city of London police involved, we have an angle here were our share price has been affected, I hope :o)
Hang fire then ;-)
Will mail you.
re titles/trophies, looks like the vote is around 55%/45% in favour of having the titles. As you can see not vey scientific,if anyone wants to scroll back they can check the figures.
Where does Paul67 stand on this?

That was a lovely tribute to your friend, my thoughts with his friends and family. Remember the good times mate.
Just think of the glow you would get cheering another title at half time, I love having something to cheer about, get it sorted board, it’s a money spinner
Who are this Inter Milan club that people keep reffering to?!
Surely they mean FC Internazionale, or just Inter for short?!
Apologies if I appear to sound pedantic!

Ball retention is easier for players with high skill level.
It is also easier for lesser players when playing in a team that offers multiple outlets.
This is the remit of coaches to implement systems that include these conditions.
Our system seems to only allow an outlet sideways or backwards with forward movement reliant on a wide man beating his man and crossing.Our off the ball movement is non existent as is our ability to pass and move.
There is no central penetration of any kind.
We can talk of 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 , 5-3-2-1 but our coaching does not seem to implement them properly.
Perhaps the inexperience of our coaching staff is showing but a big improvement is needed in this area if we are to progress.
BT – nah just a Onesie….!
Nane o these fud gowfers want to win!

Wonderful post.
It’s what makes this a great blog.
In spite of some ridiculous posts today.
C’MON THE CELTS!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I was away polishing my neck :-)
What was your point about progress mate?

Joe Ledley filled that role when he was at Cardiff.
I always thought he was signed to play a similar position with Celtic,but he has had to adapt to the formation.
Mick….
In total agreement with you.
I want our titles back, the Hun sued for lost prize money and the perpetrators jailed.
Only then will total victory be ours!

That was quick did you just do your Adams apple ? ;-)
Would actually qualifying for European competition by playing football this year be regarded as progress from last year ?
