BBC report that Newco Rangers chief executive and major shareholder, Charles Green, has indicated to his board that he will resign. Two weeks ago the last owner of Oldco Rangers revealed that he was also a director of Sevco 5088 Ltd, the company who had an irrevocable agreement to buy the assets of Rangers from administrators Duff and Phelps.
The entitlement of Sevco 5088 was subsequently assumed by Sevco Scotland Ltd (now Rangers Football Club Ltd, a subsidiary of Rangers International FC PLC). Sevco 5088, which Green remains a director of, is now owned by Worthington Group PLC and has started legal proceedings against Rangers Football Club Ltd, claiming ownership of their assets, including Ibrox, Murray Park and all intellectual property.
Green initially rebuffed Whyte’s claims, insisting they were invalid, but his decision to surrender and.… walk away, is sure to add to speculation to what is coming next. Boom!
Reporters are desperately trying to find out when Zadok the Priest was heard at Ibrox Stadium, releasing Green from one of his hilarious commitments.
NEW SERVERS ARE LIVE AND READY TO ROLL
The current CQN server was commissioned in June 2011. When we approached the annual renewal time last year, like a lot of the media companies mentioned above, I thought, with no Rangers, interest will fade, there’s no point increasing infrastructure.
The traffic peak we endured in May 2012, when the server played its part in some major issues, hasn’t been matched since, but server resources continue to be stressed. Last week I bought three new servers (we now have three physical and one virtual) and shortly after full time at Tannadice tonight, our man Andrew in Belfast will bring the system down and start the migration process. We will be offline for a few hours.
After we’re back your existing user accounts will remain active. The domain name (celticquicknews.co.uk) will point to a new server (IP) address but it can take hours (or days) for each internet service provider to update their records. As a result, celticquicknews.co.uk might not find the new server immediately.
Once we are live I will let you know the server IP address (a series of numbers you can type into your address bar), which will enable you to get onto CQN before your ISP has updated their records. Check Twitter (twitter.com/cqn) or Facebook (CQN-Magazine) for the address.
Let’s hope it goes smoothly…….

BBC Sport’s Gary Rose at the Stadium of Light: “Nothing short and sweet about Paolo Di Canio’s programme notes. Two pages are dedicated to the Sunderland’s manager’s musings, which typically swing from rousing to ridiculous. One excerpt reads ‘I am staying close to the sea and I can tell that the sea looks nervous every day as if something might happen.’ Right…”
DANSO 1888
Murray is lucky to have the friends he does and resultantly the info he has as anyone else damaging Rangers to the extent he has would have been done over physically as well as professionally
Fortunately it will probably yet happen.
He will be neither missed nor lamented but may go down in mythology as the Scottish version of Icarus.
Ironically….
Bhoys,
Below is a letter I have sent to both Circulation and the editor of The Herald. I won’t hold my breath expecting either a reply or publication, and I recognise that it is a long text to read, but given the success ordinary people have enjoyed in influencing clubs and authorities in the last while, perhaps the time has come to take on the printed press. Perhaps some of you might want to contact them in a similar fashion? Apologies for the long post. Feel free to ignore it…
Dear Sir or Madam,
I have read the Herald on a daily basis for 38 years and have had the Evening Times delivered to my home (I believe this is organised directly by the proprietor rather than by a local newsagent) for approximately seven years.
In recent years I have become concerned about the mis-reporting and bias evident in some stories published in your newspapers, particularly in relation to items relating to the former football club, Glasgow Rangers, which you will be aware entered liquidation last year and which was replaced at the lowest rung of the professional game by a new club wishing to attract the same support as the now-defunct Rangers and using a very similar (but different) name and club badge.
I was appalled to read the articles published in your organ today, especially that by Richard Wilson ‘ Analysis: how Green couldn’t survive breakdown in relations behind scenes’ which, frankly, beggars belief. That you might allow such nonsense to further erode the reputation of a once-respected publication does not seem to me to be the actions of a commercial operation out to profit by offering reportage and analysis which does not insult the intelligence of the readership.
You will be aware that the newspaper industry in Scotland is in crisis. Your own newspaper was involved in an industrial dispute in the recent past caused by the need to restructure and make staff redundant, presumably due to the falling revenues evident across all titles due to falling circulation and advertising revenues. Several of your competitors have also announced redundancies and restructuring plans in the recent past. It is my belief that the problems facing your industry are, in part, linked to the emergence of the ‘New Media’ online.
That online media has encouraged an open and honest approach to news and engagement with the audience, and has in particular set the pace, at every turn, in reporting the demise of the former Glasgow Rangers, the difficulties facing their successors, and has forced clubs and football authorities to respond to popular demand to ensure sporting integrity.
Unfortunately, not all print journalists and media managers have learned any lessons from what could turn out to be their nemesis.
I have bought my last Herald. I will, on Monday, inform the person who delivers my Evening Times that I want to cancel my order, and I am today publishing this letter on the internet in a forum where others who share my desire for unbiased analysis and accurate reporting can come to their own conclusions about how they consume their news and how they choose to pay to access it.
Those editors and journalists who inspired generations – Arnold Kemp, Jack McLean, et al – would, I am sure, agree that what passes for journalism today would have been ‘spiked’ in their day as infantile and unreliable.
In my mind, that journalistic integrity has died and can join our erstwhile Prime Minister and Glasgow’s former footballing ‘giant’, consigned to the scrapheap of history. Unfortunately, that may be where many others consider it belongs.
Hail Hail!

Dear Mr ****
Following our previous correspondence regarding the events of 16th March 2013 in the Gallowgate, leader of the Scottish Conservatives, Ruth Davidson MSP has now received a response from Strathclyde Police Authority.
In it, the Convener of the authority recognises the number of complaints surrounding these events and points out that numerous referrals have been made to the Crown Office related to the march that day.
He further acknowledges that these criminal legal proceedings will look at whether conduct was proper and if the courts suggest any impropriety, that will undoubtedly result in further enquiries into the matter.
I support the due process of law, will watch the process of these referrals through the court system with interest and reserve judgement on whether enquiries further than any resulting from the legal process are required until that process is complete.
Yours sincerely
Jackson Carlaw MSP
Deputy Leader, Scottish Conservatives
West Scotland
leftclick,
I should have known that the level of scrutiny and analysis couldn’t have emerged from the addled mind of a Denyer.
Even so, it looks as if dots are beginning to be joined.
Stevebhoy,
Aa
An excellent letter, which will probably do no more than purge yourself of the anger you feel when reading.
The MSM are tied to their agenda by something stronger than circulation.

Hail Hail!
Charlie appears to be developing into another heroic figure for us of Craigy Craigy Whyte proportions , those Sevconians are really , really silly chaps!! Duped again !!
Ha ha ha ha ha
“I met Charles Green a while ago and we have a few common contacts. He put the idea to me”
Who said that?
Craig Mather, putatively the next CEO of whatever The Rangers is today.
Saturday quiz question- large bloke, covered in tattooed, skinhead, Devil’s Spawn 666 on back of ole replica top, is likely to be a fan of which quintessentially British club?

BBC link to who he is:

Charlie ‘the refrigerator’ green had to leave just now as the Dallas cowboys have drafted him in the first round.
Just thinking out loud..
Getting really excited about going to paradise tomorrow, should be a great atmosphere. Hopefully be close to a sell out.
Was thinking earlier on about different league wins in my lifetime (’82 onwards). Some were won with lots of games remaining – under O’Neil & Strachan, some really close like ’98 or at Tannadice in ’08. Some bad ones came to mind also.
And then I thought about the real bad days – early and mid 90’s – and I thought, if Rangers died then, there’s a fair chance we wouldn’t even have won the league in some of those seasons – Aberdeen had a decent team and I could be wrong, but did we not finish 3rd or 4th one season?
Anyway – sorry to bring up bad times, but my point is; the media, sevconians, etc can try and dismiss our achievement this season, but for me, every league win is special. It means our club is on top. The best. We can’t control who we play, we can only go out and win games. When you grew up during the bad times, you really appreciate the good times. Growing up I wondered if my team would ever win the league again. Some other mob was buying titles not knowing what this would lead to. And it makes it even more special NFL is in charge, Rangers are dead, a Rangers tribute act called Sevco are self destructing in the lower leagues and their fans can only dream of SPL football never mind winning it, and that we will have the opportunity to match or even improve on our excellent Champions league performance this season. AND we have the chance to do the double in a few weeks.
Happy happy days.
Hail Hail!
