You all think you’re so smart, smugly laughing at the outcome of a game in a tournament you didn’t even know existed until recently. Let me tell you, yesterday’s defeat of Newco Rangers was nothing short of calamitous for the road I hoped the club would take.
Ally McCoist is crucial to all the things I hope happens to Newco in the years to come. He alone can deliver the hilarity waiting for when his team face full time footballers every week. Who else could spend so much yet produce so little? Who else would have the sheer brass neck to demand such a salary, even if partially deferred, in order to endorse the spivs as suitable recipients of season ticket money? This guy is unique and of immeasurable value.
Yesterday’s defeat fundamentally weakens his position. What now when, in true Rangers tradition, he stands in front of this year’s AGM thanking ‘yous’ for being the cream in his doughnut? Will they still cheer at being patronised like applauding seals completely lacking in self-awareness?
Mark my words, anything which undermines McCoist is unwelcome. A Ramsden’s Cup win would allow him to claim as much credit as he could waddle off with and would have upset no one. They had a party at Ibrox planned, like it was 1975 all over again. The humiliation must be significant.
The way forward for Newco Rangers is to put pressure on their board to release badly needed funds for the manager to spend in the hope of winning promotion from the Championship next season.
A word for Raith Rovers and their chairman Turnbull Hutton. It was a Raith Rovers director who sat across the table from one of the Rangers clubs (I’ve lost track) to judge their failure to dispense their tax and other duties during season 2011-12. McCoist then publicly demanded to know the names of the panel members.
It was Raith’s Starks Park ground which needed 24 hour security after receiving a threat to burn it to the ground following McCoist’s outburst. Turnbull Hutton stood firm and was one of the voices which ensured the rules were applied as they stood.
Seville – The Celtic Movement
“Going into the second leg, it was all in Liverpool’s favour and on paper it was Celtic’s toughest test. That wasn’t to be the case though as Celtic achieved a very comfortable 2-0 at Anfield. Both goals were superb to top a fantastic victory. A low free kick from Alan Thompson and a wonderful strike from John Hartson were the difference in this game. Celtic went through to the semi-final 3-1 on aggregate.”

Hey chap, you don’t seem to represent yourself terribly well.
It’s not common for someone to deliberately misrepresent themselves as such a tool.
Problem is, some folk might think you represent yourself quite accurately, which would be a shame of course.
Just sayin’ like.

Can someone ask rat nebbins opinion on the LG ” allegations”
Ernie
I don’t entirely disagree with your post, but I will say that your approach without the insults prompts me to respond in a similar manner

IF…….and I mean if…….we were to lose VVD in the summer….we could do worse than to sign Wes Brown…….very cool customer is young Wes…….bet Moyes wishes he still had him
————————————————
You have to be joking mate? Wes Brown is a liability. He’s found his level at Sunderland. Should never get anywhere near wearing the hoops. I know it’s all conjecture, plus he’s 35 this year, certainly not our demographic.
Well that’s the plumber unblocked the bog at the cost of £126 and took 3 minutes that’s £42 per minute.
I’m in the wrong job, now where’s my red wine I need a drink :(

True detective is along the lines of Hannibal. Worth a watch.
The only thing Dundee utd need to fear on Saturday is fear itself, play to their capabilities they will wipe the floor with them regardless of Hun referees
Let’s all laugh at Sevco:

Having watched todays performance by the rangers, I don’t see many areas of concern. They are slow on getting back to defend after an attack and our quick passing could be key for us!
But I think they will get a complete roasting this week by the press and their fans and will be desperate to prove a point against us. This coupled by the fact that they are at home, makes them a dangerous opposition.
Wife has downloaded the “Following” which seems good, 15 episodes in first series
I’m struggling with true detectives though
Hail Hail
Bada & hebcelt….
If the knowledge is so widespread it suggests the ‘rebels’ (lol) don’t care who knows?
Mind you unless he walks he’ll be staying put … no money in the biscuit tin according to Phil.
I think we should sell Griffiths and buy that guy Samaras.

Dj67YNWA,
I don’t wish to get into an argument with you. What I objected to was your assertion that the singing o of Rudi Skachel is a refugee is water off a duck’s back to you. That is simply indefensible for any Celtic supporter, imo, no matter their circumstances. Br Walfrid called us Celtic to breakdown barriers in Scotland and make all welcome, not just Irish immigrant Catholics.

Well, if you read my previous posts on this, I believe that I made myself clear on where I stand on Racism. I also made it clear that I don’t believe this to be racist for reasons I previously pointed out. LG, to me is guilty of ignorance at worst.
To me, your previous comment was lazy & insulting. Had you spent the time explaining why you decided call me “Anti-Celtic” in the same post then you would’ve got the respect you deserved but, instead you didn’t feel it necessary, for reasons unknown to me & therefore got the response that I felt was appropriate.
Hail Hail!
Wrs Brown is 35…
OMG…
I must have been asleep this last decade…
Gulp!
weeman67- I was suggesting Tunein Radio to a bhoy abroad mate,cheers anyway HH

Must have been that Diddy Cup Final result, doing my napper in…HH
You try to do a fella a good turn, but he doesn’t appreciate it.
Hey ho.

I represent myself loud & clear hence the cockroaches such as yourself & their snide remarks.
does not really matter to MSM etc that Newco/Sevco lost out on another cup, as long as they can still report on a team called Rangers and recall memories of another team called Rangers and pretend that they are the same
Another helluva goal from Niall McGinn
Another for Niall.
Happy for him.

Leigh Griffiths now plays football for a club founded by refugees.
They fled from their home country for the most basic of reasons. Survival.
An Gorta Mór, the Irish Holocaust, created the community that birthed Celtic.
I don’t know much about Mr Rudi Skácel other than that he was a damn fine footballer.
That is all that should matter on Planet Fitba.
In his prime I would have loved to have seen him wear the green and white hoops of my club.
That’s the club that Leigh Griffiths is privileged to play for.
The current Celtic manager has been subjected to a decade and a half of racist abuse in Scotland.
You may have noticed, dear reader, that neither Neil Lennon nor Rudi Skácel is black.
Racism happens to people who are as white as Leigh Griffiths.
I am aware that, shamefully, Rudi Skácel has been subject to racist abuse during his playing career in Scotland.
Given that the main offenders have been Hibernian supporters, another club founded by Irish immigrants, makes this all the more shameful.
That the mainstream media is gleeful about this most recent incident involving Leigh Griffiths when they were largely silent on the Famine Song is entirely irrelevant.
If a pub video emerged involving the Genocide Choir and a current Sevco player then the Celtic support, and all right-thinking folk in Scotland, would be justifiably outraged.
When people become refugees it isn’t a lifestyle choice, it’s a necessity.
It is a defining mark of a civilised society that it welcomes refugees.
The community that created Celtic Football club could teach a master class to the new arrivals in Glasgow in what it is like to endure nativist hostility over generations.
It is that belief system, the hatred of the outsider that created the mind-set of David Limond.
There needs to be some consequential learning for Celtic’s new striker on what the club expects of him off the field.
If he was part of that event after being arrested for sending a racist tweet, he has had enough warnings to know exactly what he is doing.
It would appear that he hasn’t learned anything from that brush with the law for indulging in racism.
At the time an anti-racist charity in Scotland called for him to be hammered by the football authorities over this, and rightly so.
That the same NGO was, at the very least, hesitant over declaring against the Famine Song in 2008 is entirely beside the point.
That the mainstream media in Scotland still haven’t learned the term ‘anti-Irish racism’ is also beside the point.
Griffiths later apologised and deleted the racist tweet.
However, he could have chosen to learn from that incident, but he clearly didn’t.
You can’t force any adult to be educated about anything.
Leigh Griffith now appears to have a track record of indulging in racist behaviour and Celtic have to take him on about it.
Moreover, anyone attempting to minimise or mitigate on his behalf because he currently scores goals for Celtic is simply being part of the problem.
I suppose I must now accept unreservedly that you represent yourself quite accurately.
Hey ho.
2 great goals by Niall
Hibs are stinking ….they could find themselves in a relegation struggle if they don’t watch out
hendrix67
Have to disagree….I think he’s quite composed……but never knew he was 35…..I must be getting old right enough
Phil … Another who should know better than believe the SMSM guff
pfayr
Disagree they COULD
They ARE in a relegation struggle and look clueless how to get out of it
Tell you what though……I wouldn’t mind looking like Wes Brown when I’m 35….
God Hibs seem to have invented a new type of fitba which involves running AWAY from the ball…

Fair enough mate, I’ve just always thought he was a diddy. Too hot headed for me.
cannot believe people are still posting about sevco/rangers mkII
the level of desperation to see them as our rivals on here is shocking
the new days will be just the same as the old ones, what a badly missed opportunity
Spurs 2-1
Damn it…..how daft do I look?
Tin hat on…
You know, if B Madden could control his bias he could be a good referee!!!

You come on here & read about 3 contributions & decide to tell someone to shut up in a patronizing manner.
Get off your high horse.
