Strathclyde Police were Rangers first creditor to ask for a payment guarantee from Rangers’ newly appointed administrator, saying, “Strathclyde Police is a public body and has a duty to make sure public resources are used appropriately. We are seeking an urgent meeting with the administrators to ensure that any payment for policing costs at future Rangers games is guaranteed.
“Until we have such a guarantee we would not be in a position to commit public resources to policing an event unless we had a reassurance that our costs would be met.”
Before the administrator is able to allow the scheduled game against Kilmarnock on Saturday to proceed he would need to guarantee payments for all services employed and goods used, casting considerable doubt on the game proceeding. The administrator is liable for any expenses he incurs from now which cannot be paid by the club.
Funds will need to be found for turnstile and security staff, while footballers may be asked to play for free.

Surely the Police will give up their rights and work for free …………………………….. no!
I wonder if the force will ask for volunteers.

You two have a great day mate.

Haha….
A thick hun on SSN saying they were’nt warned about this.
Has he been on the moon for the last few years or is there no internet in larkhall.
Even Lord Lucan knew the huns were in trouble.
Magic Monday replaced by Tumultuous Tuesday followed no doubt by Wonderful Wednesday and for them Tearful Thursday and Frustrated Friday.
As much as I am loving this watch out for the second stage of grief this weekend.

No police? Is this when the send for the Black and Tans?
SOAL, you’ve been shared.
RATM, not really.
RogueLeader, ha!

So thats the 10pts off the mib won them.
Now what about the admin deduction.
They should be banned from Celtic Park from this moment on.
What chance does the club have of getting the ticket money up-front now?
Plus they will try and wreck the seats and what not.Who’s going to pay the repair bill?
Im thinking now that Lawwell knew the score.Powerful figures at Celtic FC have been reading the likes of CQN,RTC and Phil Mac’s words.
Fair play to them.
