What you and I have known for months was established as true by the BBC last night, Rangers improperly registered players for over a decade. Following the programme there was some bluster by a firm of accountants who clearly have a lot to worry about, but nothing has been said to dispute the dual contract claim.
The SLP have not added to their 65 word statement released ahead of the broadcast. SFA chief executive Stewart Regan has told the BBC the association will not act, unless called to do so as an appeal body, and SFA President What-school-did-you-go-to has not uttered a word.
Campbell Ogilvie was an executive director of Rangers when it carried out a dual contract system in contravention of the rules of the SFA. This is an established fact which is likely to have severe repercussion for the Scottish game and the club. It is inconceivable that he continues to act as president of the SFA, especially when it has taken the decision not to become involved, despite being the only body competent to investigate breaches across all domestic competitions.
He must resign immediately or be fired. If Mr Regan does not understand this he should be fired too. He is there to take the hard decisions, not to make friends. He has abandoned fans at the time they most need clear leadership.
Anyone on the board in any doubt about this matter must follow them out the door. The SFA is professional body with budget of millions of pounds, not an old boys club, and should act accordingly.

…..Actually Robert Campbell Ogilvie
…..I know huns have funny names but that’s a topper.

Would certain individuals, and ya know who ya are!, stop picking on Brogues. They are an essential item of any gentleman’s’ wardrobe. Brown brogues set off a well cut grey suit whereas a fine pair of handmade black brogues are the male equivalent of the female little black dress – i.e. that they can be matched with anything , that is apart from a pair of speedos’. Leave brogues alone – Brouges are not just for Huns they are for everyone (and if they aren’t I wonder if Jeffery West offer refunds?)

Fortunes – I have no idea. In truth it is all conjecture.
However all the revelations (even going back to Dallasgate, McDonald & Peat) just seem to be too well timed for me to believe they were not coordinated.
My own suspicion? A very wealthy Celtic fan (not directly linked to the board) decided a decade ago it was time for Rangers to go.
I accept it sounds far fetched – but you just have to look at how Mega rich American Neo-Cons behave. If they want something to happen – it happens. Simple.

– I am almost certain the boy from Brugge will go to one of the lower ranked EPL sides. He is that sort of player – he would do well for us, but I’m sure one of those clubs will be in for him.

Don’t think it’s far-fetched at all ! The same thing’s crossed my mind as well, and i think others have referenced the bizarreness of it all. Mibbes Karma’s having some fun :)) The jokes are a reference to the newly formed anomaly of hun paranoia.

I don’t think their paranoia is an anomaly- I think it was always a case of projection- the auld transference onto us…we have conformation that much of our suspicious were, if anything, reliable assumptions…whereas their paranoia is just off the wall “join the dots kind of conspiracy” you get in Louisiana Psychiatric Asylums…

Congrats to BBC’s Mark Daly – another agenda-setting documentary. This is a self-induced Rangers tragedy. #rangers #soldthejerseys
I got to say this tube gie’s me the boak..
Speaking as an old Holyrood bhoy vintage 70’s. Always black brouges and segs. Natural innit. Y Y Bowie. Old times were the times!! HH.

Seconded, black brouges ‘n’ segs…magic..
Just in from work and tuned into SSN who ran with a story from Ibrox
The fighting fund and paying for the turfing on the park . Our SSN reporter spoke to Jardine about 40 years today since they wrecked Barcelona.
Did the reporter ask about the ETB’s…………naw
Did the reporter ask about last nights damming report………..naw
Did the reporter ask about Duff & Duffer———–naw
He said the park will be in great condition for the start of next season
However I am sure East Stirling will be delighted to play here on day one of next season
Holyrood in the 70’s was the posh Soo side school where brogues were compulsory, oh and welcome back Kojo
Do we exist in a parallel universe?

Please don’t interfere with my amusing visualisation of the current shunanigans. The idea of hurtin hoardes runnin around aimlessly and pointing the figure at each other and every one with a Timmy name makes me chuckle while I gorge away on my jelly and ice-cream :))
As a Holyrood FP of the 60’s I can confirm there was strictly a ‘no brogue’ uniform policy. Scuffed plain blacks were the order of the day
STV news toe the party line in blaming St Craigy for duping all of the gallant pioneers and no mention of the EBT’s- burying the news already
Stairhheedrammy. Not too posh in 1976 as I remember it. Not at all. Right good football team as I remember too. Segs on Click click we’re the ‘tic. HH.

I’d take it a bit further, the SPL are not fit for purpose and it should be disbanded, if I was CFC I would take the lead in this and bring the whole shebang down.
The SFA are either the most incompetent in world football or the most corrupt they need a complete overhaul starting at the very top tier of management, the SFA failings make senior exec’s position untenable, they cling to their positions rather than admit fraud or incompetence or both.
Over to Uefa.

Gene. Now I think Holyrood was a bit clever in the 60’s. Who was the Headmaster? HH.
Paul67
why were you asking about teams playing under other national federations
They are desperate to make the story about D&P and Grier. At least 10 years of cheating did not get a mention on STV. I despair.

Get this…I’ve just walked down my local high street wearing my Celtic jacket (coz I like wearin’ it),black with official crest,Celtic Football Club on the back.
I pass 1 Barcelona top , 1 Liverpool top, 1 ManUre top, 2 Chelski tops. Nae problems.
I come to Glasgow and am told in no uncertain terms not to wear it….for my own safety.
What an indictment of the state of things in Scotland.
I’m on holiday in Malta and checking out a bar for the Celtic v Hertz cup,so as I walk in wearing same jacket,a huge lump of a Maltese geezer checks me over and says,”Ah,Celtic,best football club in the world.”
How I wish the huns would just up sticks and move to another planet….preferrably.
Take their stinkin’ history and move on.
My dear, dear Kojo
I hope you are well.

Even im stunned at that, this goes so much deeper than I thought.
We need help from outside Scotland as I fear we are fighting a corporate monster.
So we will all need to up our game.
This I now believe is a massive attempt to cover up Murray & the banks crime Scene
Paul what can we do to keep kicking the door open
