Do you remember the early days of Celtic Quick News when one wit suggested this was a blog for accountants? Our early years did a great deal to bring a wider understanding of accounts and finance to Celtic fans – which was a good thing.
Today your fan of Scottish football needs to know about more than the game and amortisation, a semester or two in law school is an enormous advantage. We touch on legal matters here but last night I enjoyed reading the forensic analysis on the wonderful Duff and Phelps on the Web 3D Law blog. It’s worth 10 minutes of your day, each day, the most recent blog especially. I also assume you are all keeping an eye on the substantial thoughts on Paul McConville’s blog. If not, I want to know why.
So much for accounts and the law, today I want to discuss philosophy with you.
When football-types talk about morality and hypocrisy they are usually worth listening to, if only for comedic value. Anyone experiencing the Scottish media will not doubt that morality is subjective and chameleon in nature. This question has exercised great minds for centuries, if only they had the benefit of our effervescent radio luminaries.
Despite being metaphorically surrounded by morally opportunistic hypocrites, Ally McCoist felt so secure in his demands for Rangers that he didn’t dodge the issue yesterday.
When asked if Rangers should be kicked out of the SPL he accepted it “might be the right thing to do morally and people will have their own opinions on it, with differences far and varied.
“There’s an argument the right thing to do is for Rangers to go down to the Third Division and that might be the case if it’s a Newco after liquidation.
“But is it the correct thing to do for Scottish football? Probably not. Everybody’s got a dilemma and that’s why there are so many opinions on it.
“Whether people like it or not, Rangers and Celtic are different because of the size and magnitude of the two clubs.
“Supporters of other clubs and some Old Firm supporters say you can’t have rules for some clubs and not for others.
“In an ideal world, that would be 100 per cent correct. I would absolutely and totally agree with that.
“But the fact of the matter is we’re asking if it would be good for the rest of the SPL if Rangers went down to the Third Division? The answer has to be no.
“I don’t envy the people who have to make that decision. I can understand the hypocrisy of it but Rangers and Celtic are different.”
Rangers are different – no dispute about that, Ally. Celtic are different again, but if it is hypocritical and morally wrong to provide support for these clubs which has never been extended to a smaller club, we cannot subvert our sport – and remember, the word SPORT implies that outcomes are determined on a level playing field – Rangers must be treated no differently than Gretna.
And just one correction for Ally: liquidation-and-phoenix would not see Rangers drop to the Third Division. A Newco in the Third Division would not have dropped from anywhere, it would be a new company and new football team. Rangers would, in these circumstances, go pop!
One* team in Glasgow,
There’s only one team in Glasgow.
One team in Glasgow,
There’s only one team in Glasgow.
*excluding, juniors, youths, lower leagues, amateurs and Celtic Ladies.
Pop! And they’re gone!

THE SCOTSMAN
McCoist’s words were a scare tactic, a device that was meant to heap pressure on the SFA
SOME amount of claptrap has come spinning out of Rangers in the past week, some hysterical pronouncements about how the club might die as a consequence of the transfer ban placed upon them – and if not death, then maybe relegation.
Oh yes, this heinous punishment that provoked Ally McCoist to vent his spleen on Tuesday evening could see all of the senior players depart Ibrox, a mass exodus that would leave them vulnerable to the drop to the First Division. This was an assessment that Walter Smith agreed with later in the week. Kids can’t be expected to keep Rangers in the SPL, he said.
First of all, there is no evidence that points to the transfer ban possibly equalling the death of the club or even putting the club at risk of dying. “This decision could be the final nail in the coffin,” said McCoist the other day, presumably while trying to douse the fire that had caught hold of his trousers. It was a ridiculous remark that has, alas, been picked up on and has led to some ludicrous headlines wondering if today’s Old Firm encounter could possibly be the last.
Let’s look at the fallout from the SFA’s judicial panel’s decision, not so much the disgraceful “Who are these people?” rant by the Rangers manager but the reaction from the key players in the bidding process, Bill Miller and the Blue Knights.
Since the transfer ban was handed down, have we heard Miller saying that he is now unable to carry on with his bid as a result? No. Have we heard him say this transfer ban fundamentally changes the dynamic of his interest in the club? No. Miller doesn’t agree with the ban and it is his intention to contest it but, if it stands after an appeal, then he’ll live with it, should he become the new owner of the club. It will last one for one season. Rangers didn’t sign anybody for two seasons under Walter Smith and yet still managed to win the league.
Have we heard a repetition of McCoist’s emotive language from the Blue Knights? No, we haven’t. Again, they’re not happy with the ban, but they’re not walking away either, they’re not adopting this fatalistic attitude that McCoist adopted, this histrionic toys-out-of-the-pram response that only served to fuel the outrage of the zealots and bring them thundering to the door of the three-man panel who sat in judgment on them.
McCoist abhors violence and intimidation and yet he sees absolutely no link between his words and the deeds of the nutcases who sought to intimidate the “Hampden Three”. He stands by everything he said on Tuesday, a view that makes you think that the Rangers manager’s brain has turned to marshmallow.
“Once we start giving in to the lunatic fringe then we’d be as well just packing up our bags,” said McCoist on Friday. “If we for a minute give in to this, then it’s absolute madness. People hiding behind computers and all that stuff? Do me a favour. You know it and I know, these people are absolute numpties to a man or a woman and we shouldn’t be giving them any time of the day.”
As McCoist well knows, people hiding behind computers can, and have, become people who jump the wall at Tynecastle and attack a fellow manager or people who try to terrify other people by sending them bombs in the post, two of these “numpties” now locked up for five years apiece.
“Numpties” doesn’t quite cut it, does it? “Numpties” is a word you might use for cyber idiots, of which there are many, but it’s not appropriate to the two dangerous animals who have just been sent away for a five-year stretch, a pair of warped minds who thought it would be a funny idea to put McCoist’s name on the back of the package containing one of the devices, as if the Rangers manager had sent it himself.
McCoist’s choice of words –“giving in to it” – shows either a dangerous naivety or a shocking defiance about the nature of the threat from some of these people. As we know – as he knows himself – they’re not all content to sit in their underpants in their dingy flats banging out the bile on their computers. Some are prepared to go further and McCoist’s refusal to temper his language on Friday – three days after his initial rant – was disturbing. Strathclyde Police might be well advised to have a word in his ear. The Scottish Football Association might want to wait for the heat to go out of the situation before they comment, but comment they should.
Miller’s still hanging in there and so are the Knights, as is Brian Kennedy who doesn’t seem to have batted an eyelid about a transfer ban that “could kill the club”.
Another thing, this assertion that Rangers could well be relegated if the ban hits home. Firstly, that is wild speculation. Even if Rangers lose all of their senior players – which they wouldn’t – they’d surely still be well clear of relegation fodder.
It was a scare tactic, a device that was meant to heap pressure on the SFA, a comment that was inevitably going to lead to fury among the support, a display of victimhood that showed you what kind of weird place Rangers are in right now.
None of what McCoist said last week stacks up. He talks about a “moral need” for Rangers to be punished but protests when that punishment doesn’t suit him. He talks about demotion to the Third Division as, perhaps, being the correct moral outcome but what does he think Third Division football would do for their senior players or their ability to sign new ones? Would the senior players be willing to put up with lower league stuff for three seasons? Would transfer targets contemplate a move to Ibrox if they had this long wait before they got back to the SPL? The punishment he gave credence to – demotion – would be infinitely harder on the club than the one delivered by the judicial panel on Monday night.
Of course, McCoist speaks of demotion while knowing that it will probably never happen because of the “special case” that Rangers are. The SPL can’t afford to kick them out, that’s the rationale. The league would implode. Sky would leave the scene and clubs would fold.
But, you know, these are pivotal days in the history of the SPL and you have to wonder about this question: if another club’s finances and very existence are so dependent on Rangers remaining in the SPL what kind of club are they – and do they deserve to survive? That’s a debate for another day.
For now, we have the last Old Firm game of the season. There will be more of them, despite the garbage we heard last week.
From Andrew Smith
THE SCOTSMAN
Playing the victim card does little to help the Ibrox club’s reputation
RANGERS’ financial crash has served us up just about everything. Except, that is, much in the way of contrition from those at the heart of it. With his egregious and excruciating demand for the naming of SFA Judicial Panel members who had imposed sanctions on his club, Tuesday found Ally McCoist in full, unedifying, confrontational mode. By the time he had worked his way round to his press briefing at Murray Park the other day, the Rangers manager mercifully was cutting a more conciliatory figure, on an afternoon when the final Glasgow derby was merely an afterthought.
The 12-month ban on Rangers signing players, which the club will appeal, brought an outrage from McCoist that seemed to relate more to the predicament of the Ibrox side than the actual punishment. He maintained that “everyone is guilty to contradiction” when it comes to the situation Rangers find themselves. A situation McCoist sees shame in over the fact there are no guarantees a club struggling to avoid liquidation will pay in more than £3 million of football debt to other clubs, and up to £120m of other liabilities. With Rangers having recruited players they may not be able to pay for, and so potentially having obtained an unfair sporting advantage, what sanction did McCoist expect this week?
“I would have appreciated the opportunity for a potential new purchaser to pay our footballing debts,” he said. “Pay all our debts, in an ideal world, but especially debts to other clubs. It embarrasses and upsets me we owe money to other clubs, not just in Scotland but wherever. That embarrasses me and hurts me. I don’t think the punishment has helped us in any way, shape or form to recover from that.” McCoist went on to say the panel members were on “a hiding to nothing”, the SFA were an organisation “doing their level best” whose decisions will ever please everyone and who he just happens to finds himself in disagreement with. “It goes with the territory and you have to accept we are all big boys and we are all entitled to our opinion and to make comment.”
His tone was far removed from the “these people could kill our club” provocative language of earlier in the week that, whatever he might have subsequently said, played to the “lunatic fringe”. He at least could not be accused of that in respect of his stance on Scottish Premier League meeting tomorrow at which clubs will vote on new fair play rules.
Voted on will be various proposals. The two germane to Rangers are that clubs in administration would be docked whatever is the greater of 15 points or a third of their previous season’s tally, and any newco formed from the ashes of a liquidated club would be docked ten points and lose 75 per cent of their SPL payments for two years. It is not expected that these will receive sufficient support to be carried, an 8-4 majority required, but McCoist chooses his words carefully in questioning the time of the would-be rule changes.
“The timing is really sad and unfortunate,” he said. “Decisions on clubs going into liquidation, clubs forming a newco and all that kind of stuff, should have been down a year ago or whenever. I don’t know when it should have been done but no matter what happens now, it looks as though it is a reaction rather than proactive. With the ten points for going into administration we know the rules, so that’s fine. No problem with it. Whereas this is different and again it will please some of the people and other people will think it is [unfair].”
More disturbing than McCoist’s comments this week was the reaction to them from large sections of the media. Rangers, in part, are in their sorry mess because even when they haven’t been in the right too often they have been presented as wronged. Their sense of victimhood is too often willingly stoked. God knows, the team from the other side of the city play the victim card plenty. But when Celtic have claimed referee bias or SFA persecution, they have been rightly mocked and taken to task. Contrast that with the extension to the season Rangers were granted in 2008, the policing in the Manchester riot that year, the FARE investigation into the club’s sectarian singing, and now these SFA sanctions. In all such cases, there has been a willingness to look beyond the Ibrox club for the crux of any problems.
McCoist pulled back from that on Friday when asked again about the division of responsibility relating to Rangers being punished for their owner Craig Whyte’s failure to forward PAYE and NI contributions from the club’s employees. “Again, it’s a really fine line and people will have their own opinions of it,” he said. “I am just of the opinion that the people who haven’t done anything wrong are getting battered, be they players, members of staff, supporters. Listen, I am not daft enough to think we don’t deserve to be punished for our wrongdoing but I am deeply saddened that people who are getting hit most are the people who haven’t done anything wrong and really don’t deserve it.”
But what Rangers would deserve if the current club ceases to be is what is beginning to exercise minds. McCoist, again to his credit, doesn’t fudge what outcome should serve natural justice and sporting integrity. “Whether you are a supporter of Morton or Kilmarnock or Inverness or whoever. I could totally understand their fans saying ‘och, it should be the Third Division if they are liquidated and they are a newco’ because it’s fair. It might be fair, but is it the right thing to do? It’s probably not. It’s not a fair world, that’s what I am saying. If it was a fair world we would get the same punishment as Livingston for example. They got liquidated and ended up in division three so if it’s good enough for Livingston it should be good enough for Rangers but is that good enough for Scottish football?” The fact the answer to that is “no” tells everything about what a broken, dysfunctional environment the Scottish top flight is. Clubs wouldn’t debar a newco Rangers from the SPL as they would a newco Livingston because the reduction in revenue following the loss of the “Rangers brand” could take them down too.
We need look only to the banking crisis for parallels. Small banks were allowed to go under. Large banks were unfairly propped up with massive public subsidies because of the threat of contagion. McCoist presents his club’s case for “special treatment” in the event of liquidation as a necessary evil for the greater good.
But Scottish football doesn’t need a strong Rangers so much as it needed a Rangers who paid their bills and played by the rules.
And, instead of supporter demonstrations on Hampden, boycotts of away grounds and name and shaming of those bearing the brunt of the fact that the good football citizen down Ibrox way hasn’t existed this past decade, those who value Rangers’ name might want to replace their haranguing with humility.

Thanks for posting. Tom English is an Irish hun sycophant of the succulent lamb brigade. A journalistic technocrat who thought he had found his hun niche in Scotland and is about to get his jelly and ice cream.

So…I owe you a Guiness.sorry!
I really hope Celtic win tomorrow more than anything. History in the making.
You gotta laugh at the Huns, really.
They have been in Administration since 14 Feb and each new week has revealed yet more embarrassing and shocking revelations surrounding the behaviour of the custodians of the club over the preceeding 20 years or more, yet scarcely a peep out of the Ibrox faithful.
However, as soon as the SFA, upon considering a punishment for various offences including, among other things, signing players and refusing to pay the transfer fees, decide to . . . er . . . ban them from signing players for a year – an eminently sensible and fitting punishment, one would have thought – they are up in arms and marching on the SFA’s Hampden headquarters.
Where were the mass gatherings of the angry faithful when Whye was finally forced to admit that he had effectively bought the club with THEIR future outlay? Not a peep from the deranged hordes.
Where was Sandy Jardine and his paranoid pups when it emerged that the club had used PAYE and NI deductions as cash flow to run the club ffom the day Whyte broke his piggy bank for that famous pound coin? Not a whimper.
I could go on all day, but my point is, they lie down and let the media and various ex players and managers tickle their bellies as their club is dragged through the quagmire on a daily basis. They ravenously swallow the positive spin from the likes of Traynor, Keevins and King every time bad news is revealed, yet as soon as the club is justifiably punished for their wrong-doing, it is feeding time at the zoo, and everyone had better watch out, because they are coming to get us.
Let us make no mistake. This Celtic support would not have sat idly by and watched their club stick two fingers up to creditors and cheat and steal at every opportunity. This Celtic support would have had the people responsible run out of town.This Celtic support would have taken the medicine and DEMANDED that their club be duly punished, even through demotion to Division 3, and that every last penny of the debt be repaid in full.
This Celtic support has a sense of justice and fairplay and pride in their club and its history.
This Celtic support would not be handing out the begging bowl and demanding that everyone gives us a break, and uttering threats against other clubs who refuse to fall into line.
The Rangers support, like their club, are a disgrace and are cowardly in the extreme. They have no morals and negative dignity. They would be happy if all their creditors, including HMRC, walked away and wrote off the debts, allowing them to carry on as normal. Indeed that is exactly what they EXPECT.
This Celtic support would never accept such a situation if it was their club in the mire.
That is just one major difference between us and them.
Hail Hail.

Noticed a few posts the other day,regarding a certain Irish singer.The fella in question goes by the name of Ray.
Listen folks,if that is true – This fella,is in my opinion,the greatest voice of them all.Maybe it’s the songs he chose to sing? Horses for courses so to speak – Luke Kelly sang certain songs well,as did Paddy Reilly,Jim McCann,Shane MacGowan,Christy Moore,Warfield from the ‘Tones,Gary Og himself…to name but a few.And not forgetting the female singers,Mary Black,O’Connor et all.That girl whom sang with the Flying Column,another great Beal Feirste band.
But there was nobody whom did it better,in an understated way…a quiet voice,mellow,yet powerful and defiant.A man that was clearly living in the midst of struggle and insurrection.
If you read this R – any vinyl you have – i will buy them off you sir,just name your price – or even do a “Best of Wolfhound”cd.The stuff on youtube is great,but quality of sound is not.I have a cassette here – Sweet Carnlough Bay,Take Me Home To Mayo,Shall My Soul Pass Through Old Ireland etc.But as i have already stated – sound quality isn’t great.
Vinyl is not a problem now chief,as it can easily be converted onto mp3 – still with that crisp sound – £40 buys a good vinyl to mp3 converter.
Ray,im a Beal Feirste Bhoy myself,and was brought up listening to your music – it’s time to bring it back – even rack it up for charity – your music will sell everywhere.
It’s far too good to let go.
Anyway – not a rebel song(me little Armalite) ;) But one for the diaspora – London in particular:

CELTIC FOREVER.
The London Road that runs past Celtic Park in Glasgow is a continent away from the biblical Road to Damascus. Conversions on today’s march to Paradise by the huns will not be televised. I always wondered what happened on the road back from Damascus, something must have happened.
Today, Grand Master Hades, repugnant in orange ideology, will lead his apprentices along the London Road on a last march of shame. They may court controversy in a paradoxical cry for sympathy. His hordes will regale us with homophobic-heavy Huggin’-a-thug, huggin’-a-hun, huggin’-a-cheat, most so too… huggin’-a-ghost, all the while polluting the peace with chorus after chorus of hate and defame. Their Broccoli bigotry will be both loud and familiar. We all know about the sash their father wore and the sectarianism that rot their ancestors’ hearts rancid. We all know about being up to their knees in Fenian blood, like Cromwell and general Lake and others before them. We all know they fear our education system and in their awe they wish us to go home.
The last march of shame will snake and slither its way along the London Road like a giant red, white and blue spiteful serpent also repugnant in its orange ideology.
And at the end of its slide it will arrive at the Light and Celtic Park where an aura of hope will be assailed with venomous bile and projectile-spewed fury. Decibel upon decibel will be added to the cacophony of hate, increasing ten-fold the intensity of the unleashed frenzy that will be made manifest in a rage against property and person. With no heed, nor respect, for law of man or God, ninety minute bigots will soil and spoil the afternoon of innocents. They are WATP’s, the people who answer to no person or authority. Pity them if you can for they are hostages of ancient prejudices and fears, regardless though, they know how easy it could be to slip their shackles of shame but they choose, rather – they prefer, to remain singing prisoners of bigotry and despair; this makes them most evil.
The Sword of Damocles will hang over this legion of the damned but history tells us they will be too stupid as to its presence and nobody, who is able, will be willing to wield it in justice anyway. Wait!… the moral courage of brave men and women have changed the course of history before and will do so again; where and when is most pertinent.
The largest number of convicts ever to escape from a maximum security prison is 124. This dubious record was set when half of the population of Alcoente Prison (near Lisbon, Portugal) disappeared in one day in July 1978.
In the weeks leading up to the escape, guards had noticed that 220 knives and a large quantity of electrical cable had disappeared. “We were planning to look for them,” a guard explained, “but never got around to it.” The guards also failed to notice the gaping holes (covered with posters), spades, chisels, water hoses and electric drills which populated the inmates’ cells. In fact, so inattentive were the guards that they later confessed: “We only found out about the escape at 6:30 the next morning when one of the prisoners told us.”
Justice Minister Santos Pais was later asked to account for the fiasco. His reply? The escape, he said, was “normal” and simply part of the “legitimate desire of the prisoner to regain his liberty.”
The largest number of criminals ever to escape justice is circa 7000. This extreme record is set bi-annually when huns make their way to Paradise and invariably desecration and abuse in all its guises, reigns.
On the road back from Damascus there might have been a plague; a plague of remorse and contrition but as we all know, the London Road is a continent away and there will be no post conversions, nor a plague; not of remorse and contrition anyway on the hun hordes march back to Glasgow city center.
Who knows what tomorrow waits for the hun as he goes back to work as a teacher, a sheriff, a policeman, a probation officer, a counsellor, a lawyer, a tax collector or whatever. Will he leave his bigotry in his bags and his baggage with Grand Master Hades?
Or will he, in whole, patiently hibernate… Ready?
Good day and safe journey to anyone making the pilgrimage to Celtic Park today.
I hope the wake is in full swing by half time to ensure that Paradise is only 75% full and is a green sea of singing, swaying Celtic fans.

Couldn’t agree more. I posted this earlier today on CQN.
Bang on Paul67!
The huns stole at least £140 million of other peoples money to finance their on the park cheating. However, the same logic and in house MIB protection racket does not extrapolate to off the park cheating. But being of uniform malignant type personalities they are now threatening “to take a few with them” as they are ploughed asunder for not paying their debts.
We all know who Sandy Jardine is referring to.
What happens when you dont pay the piper? Its time these rats were drowned.
No to Newco. No to any more cheating and hopefully its their swan song is tomorrow.
