Police first creditor to react

635

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.

    They’ve tried self policing in the past. It ended with them in the dock before EUFA :-)

  14. Sixteen roads to Golgotha on

    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.
