Point of order. Steven Davis has not decided to leave Rangers. Kyle Lafferty did not leave Rangers. Jamie Ness, Steven Whittaker, Steven Naismith, Shauny Aluko and Rhys McCabe did not leave Rangers in some insurrection of Stevens-and-friends-with-odd-names.
All have chosen to remain employees of Rangers Football Club PLC and (reportedly) objected to transfer to Sevco 5088. Loyal to the end, heroes to the jersey, despite how this is being reported elsewhere. The administrators currently managing Rangers Football Club PLC may soon issue all of the above with redundancy notices, but until then, the players will sit tight.
Sevco don’t need these guys anyway, they’ve 19 targets, several of whom have been busy at the Euros, ready to sign-on.
And how could I forget about Gattuso? We’re in trouble when that lot arrive, guys!

Morning,
Le Havre have stated rangers wlll not be opening stadium. It seems rangers dumping their entire pre-season.
That should get alarm bells ringing fir the bares…
miki67 – You are one brave man,and judging from the posts that i have read from ya on here – you are an absolute gentleman as well.
An absolute credit to Celtic and to yourself.
I wish you all the good luck in the world sir.
KTF.
Apropos of nothjing, I happened to be in John Brown’s company in a Glasgow bar many years ago, as a friend of a friend. It just happened to be a few days after the Huns hammered us 5-1 at Ibrox when Souness was in charge.
The barman kept telling Bomber joke after joke about Celtic and the 5-1 result. After about the 3rd or 4th joke, Brown got annoyed and said something like, “Yeah, yeah, I’ve heard them all, so if you don’t mind, I’m in mixed company here.”
He went right up in my estimation that night and was great company.
Bomber told me Celtic were very close to signing him from Dundee and he was very keen on the move and manager Billy McNeill thought it was a done deal, but the board moved the goalposts and it fell through.
“Bridge Litigation UK have shared with the
players the contents of legal guidance issued
by the SFA last week on the issue of TUPE
(Transfer of Undertakings, protection of
employment) and player registration and
which they state supports their legal view
that an objection under TUPE amounts to a
lawful termination of contract giving the club
no entitlement to a claim for compensation.”
Green said the SFA told him they supported the clubs view. He is turning out to be a bigger shyster than Craigy bhoy.
Glasgow’s Green & Whyte!
The Vanguard Bears have asked for fans to turn up at Ipox at 7pm to protest & look for answers from Chico Green.
They don’t even know if it is 27th or 28th they have to turn up. Wit a laugh…
Rangers Media
Opus Dei?
Nope!
Surely they mean
OOOPPPPSSSS WE’RE DEID

This would be the bomber who had the rangers youth team singing the sash and billy boys in the dressing room.
Nonsense of a story he was going to sign for Celtic.
midfield maestro –
I heard a lot of them are so confused that they’re planning on turning up at Glasgow Green.
ASonOfDan –
I remember it being in the papers at the time when Celtic were chasing his signature.
Will the lunchtime menu at Murray park tomorrow be only
Macaroon bars ?
Green on SSN saying players had 24hrs (from what?) to register objections to contract transfer (under TUPE) but it was now 2 weeks therefore legal proceedings will follow.
Any input from our TUPE experts, or is he just blustering again ?
#thirdlanarkappreciationsociety
Until we meet again…
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
I wish that big Hun from snyde was sacked, she a norn iron bigot
Tom mclaughlin,
You read it in the papers? Seriously ?

All Rankers teams from first team to boys teams sang the sash in their dressing rooms, (first hand experience)its the culture and tradition thats so precious to them
ASonOfDan @ 07:43,
Guess that means if the player objects (under TUPE) to their RFCia contracts’ transfer, then the contracts are terminated.
So D&P would not have to pay the Players next week and they are on a free?
Surely with what we understand of SevCo’s position unless Charles Green has a brilliant plan Z, there is no way the SFA & CO can grant them a licence.
Morning all from a very dreich North Ayrshire. Summer? Long gone.
It is, however, summer in me heart. Paul67, you have a lot to do with that. I woke this morning with words like amortisation, G.O.D., and “honest mistakes” running through my head. That CQN would have contributed mightily to where we, the football loving folk, are today is wonderful. Many, many thanks to you and so many other great bloggers, most still with us but some who have gone to their eternal rest.
Mort and/or any of you lhads from the North,
Is Roy Foster, Professor of Irish History at Ulster University, a well-known bigot? He was on Radio4 this morning. He couldn’t have been more a mouthpiece for the DUP if he tried,imo.
Is is right that 22 out of 29 SFL clubs need to vote to let new Them in ?
If it is, then only 8 need to vote no to annihilate new Them altogether.
Raith and Peterhead already nailing colours to the mast mean only another 5 clubs till armageddon.
It’s like politics! We need Kojo with a big swingometer and David Dimblebey in the studio saying things like’ And we’re hearing it’s a recount at East Strlinghire, let’s go over to John Cole….’.
What larks.
What larks.

Sky have no right to help Rangers dodge the bullet
If Rangers are rightly kicked out of the Scottish Premier League, the presumption is that Sky will seek to renegotiate its contract to cover matches. They should be told to take a hike.
What precedent would this set for television talks in the future? How can a broadcaster dictate what clubs are in a particular league? Where will this end? Can Manchester United not be relegated from the Premier League because they are Sky’s greatest attraction?
It is an outrageous suggestion, not least because its possibility has been so casually digested and discussed.
By any measure, the behaviour of successive administrations at Rangers has contributed to a crisis in Scottish football, and they deserve to have to start again from the Third Division.
In England, insolvent clubs have fallen out of the league, but never one of this size, with its attendant logistical problems. When Aldershot went out of business on March 25, 1992, they started again as Aldershot Town in Isthmian League Division Three, five levels below the fourth tier of English football.
This is not possible for Rangers. Division Three is as far as they can fall without becoming unmanageable, but the club deserve every inch of that drop. The Scottish Football Association compromise, re-election to the Premier League, summary relegation to the First Division, back next year, is the thinking of frightened men.
Rangers need a clean break, a fresh start and the opportunity to return after three seasons with some sense of having paid for their actions. And Sky need to be told that, until this time, they can continue to cover the SPL as it is, because the league decides its membership, not a television company.
If the SPL want to mediate between Rangers, Sky and Scotland’s smaller clubs so that, in an addition to the top division, Rangers’ mission to return is also shown, that would be a gesture of goodwill.
It might also provide some small financial assistance to the clubs that are no doubt feeling recession’s bite hardest.
Yet financial reckoning must not be allowed to cloud a simple ethical judgment. Rangers deserve to be punished severely for this; if they are not, what is the true worth of the SPL anyway?

I’ve always found employment law reasonable simple. You’re either in contract or you’re in breach of contract. If Green believes that these players are in breach of contract then he should sue them. The first thing Green has to do however is prove that a contract exists between his company and the player. good luck wi’ that!
He’s onty plums!

You should add Falkirk to your list of SFL No to Newco

Favourite Bomber story- the K of K was being presented with an honorary degree at Strathclyde Uni. Helping him on with his robe and gown that day was none other than Bomber’s brother.
‘Congratulations’ said the great Mhan ‘ you’re getting closer to me than your brother ever did’.
I’m sure I’m not the first with this however, I don’t really care. Rangers song for the day – Bob Marley: Exodus – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWw_gP0vDfE
On the Bomber Brown debate.
My good friend who is an uber Hun but otherwise a great guy (mind you I have not heard a peep from hime since February) and lives in Phuket in a fabulous house frequently has Bomber and his partner to stay. He is a nice guy when off the drink, which he has been for some time now.
Knows his football and likes a debate. Gets a lot of stick for helping us win the league in 1986 as part of the Dundee team which beat Hearts 2-0.
He will be hurting at the minute as he is a died in the wool Hun.
Aw diddums!

One of the very reassuring / pleasing aspects in all this for me is the reaction of all other clubs’ fans. I wrongly thought that the political, SFA, vested interest, LL influence woad being challenged by Celtic Supporters only. How amazing it was to discover that every other fan in the Country held similar views to us on the subject. One or two chairmen would have been amazed also. Well done football fans across the Country
Don’t know if I missed it, what’s the hampden roar with our Goalie situation???
Fosters deadline has passed
#2 option should be at Celtic park to sign on dotted line
Or Is planning too much to ask
Maybe the new goalie , center half and striker are all still on the golf course :((

What a real shame it is for all the real genuine fahahahahahahahahaha….No I can’t do it – it’s just too funny! The statement from Naisbalance blows out the water the delusion that RFC continues – they’re dead, kaput, finished!
What I’m waiting for next is the fans of the former football club RFC (who stated that the history would live on in Sevco FC) saying that Sevco no longer have the history and that John Brown’s consortium will create a club that has the history…….until Sir Waldo reappears and it’ll actually be him and his consortium that has the history……until someone else blah blah blah.
They will never ever get over this – brilliant!!
Miki67, very sorry to hear about your health worries – despite you accusing me of being a goat-worrying hun (which I really rather enjoyed!) I always like your posts – sometimes insightful, sometimes funny but always with a little bit of devilment!
Keep the Faith Miki, enjoy the sit-com that is Sevco FC and look forward to our tilt on the Champions League.
Hail Hail

That night when I was in Bomber Brown’s company, it was I who said to him, “Didn’t I read that Celtic were in for you at one point?”
He told me Billy McNeill spoke to him and asked if he would be interested in a move to Celtic. Brown said he would be interested. Well after all, Dundee to Celtic would have been a big career move, not to mention a huge jump in salary and bonuses etc. Also, the history of Celtic is replete with diehard Rangers men who, when asked, signed on for the Bhoys.
Anyway, according to Brown, further talks took place, then it went quiet for a while, until one afternoon Souness phoned him and said, “I am hearing Celtic are in for you?”
Brown confirmed that was correct.
Souness then asked him what his thinking was and Brown replied, “There’s only one team I want to play for.”
Souness said, “That’s good enough for me.”
A week or so later, John Brown was a Rangers player.
That is what Brown told me that night.
Daddy daddy a boy called me a sevco in the playground today
sure it wasn’t sebo, son
naw dad, sevco
dont mind him son it doesn’t mean much
Tom yes indeed many former players have favored the dark side
