Yesterday was not a particularly good day for football. The Edinburgh cup final was played before a half empty Hampden long before the end and Chelsea’s revival of catenaccio secured the Champions League. If nothing else the latter proved that football at the very top level is not always great. Perhaps the reason why truly great teams are so celebrated.
There is an interesting dynamic to Rangers in administration. Creditors have a cash offer of around £8.5m to consider but eight players, Naismith, Bocanegra, McGregor, David, Whittaker, Goian, Lafferty and Edu cut release clause deals with Duff and Phelps for values greater than this.
Any CVA agreed next month (unlikely though it is) could be paid for by the departure of these players. Charles Green could potentially be the second person to buy Rangers for only £1.
It is, however, unlikely that other clubs will offer money for these players before a CVA is agreed as they will be available as free agents should the CVA fail and those in control of Ibrox attempt to form a Newco. Therefore, the chances of creditors getting their hands on any of these transfer fees are limited, no matter what happens to the company.

Sounds like their away support at Peterhead next year.
Oh forgot they are boycotting away matches.
Modren ‘pay-as-you-go’ dongle is rubbish.
Snake- sorry for your woes, hope you make a full recovery.

Ten men indeed
I had a date that night
I remembered the next day
Regarding the crowd. Think it was 15,000. Behind the goal at love st end it was not full. You could see the terracing barriers
I was at the love st end one night in 1980 where there was 27,000 in the ground.

Was that a SC game when Johnny Doyle (RIP) scored in ET?

Lucky for you I wisnae there,I could give you chapter and verse on my attendances at inglorious failures!
There had to be a common denominator,and it was my goooooood self….
Anyway,NOTHING you can say to me on here compares to what my kid sis has said over the years.
Believe me.
Is the SPL Board meeting today? And will it be discussing a certain investigation into the contracts of former RFC PLC (ia) players? According to Twitter there will be an update this afternoon.

Billionaire American businessman Donald Trump considered a move to buy Rangers both before and during the club’s fall into administration but backed off when the depth of their financial woes became clear. (Press & Journal)

I remember it well m8.
It was a SC replay game and, we got reduced to ten men when, McAdam or Doyle was sent-off.
What I remember about it was the crowd outside the park….there must have been 5-10k of Celtic fans locked-outside.
I didn’t get in myself until about 35mins I think.
Yet another victory with Ten Men!
Hail Hail

Brother Walfrid called it Celtic to reflect the Celtic (Keltic) nations of Ireland and Scotland. Of course there are Celts in Wales, Cornwall and northern France!

Cheers, yup great night from memory. ( this dementias great, canny remember what a had for my breakfast but can remember a game nearly 30 years ago :) )
Love St 86. mate of mine turned up and was outside the Celtic end with hundreds (or more) ticketless fans. Apparently a builders van turned up, and some guy got out carrying a large set of bolt cutters. he then snipped the chain and padlock that was holding the exit gates shut, allowing hundreds to flood in to the Celtic end without tickets – including my mate. Probably highly dangerous given the hillsborough situation etc, but certainly that day there were a lot more fans in the ground than had tickets.

The same story was run by STV with the addition that Green and his mob were about to submit a CVA for £134M!!!!
You could not make it up (but they do)
All these people certain in their own minds why the name Celtic was chosen, with not a shred of evidence to support their views.
Such is the power of myth.
Who did shoot Liberty Valance?
I think our defence has been more than decent. Early on in the season we were not defending as a team. We did the same at the start of last season as well. The defence can be the best in the world but if they receive no cover or support from the rest of the team it won’t matter. Our midfield is now working much harder. Even Hooper, Stokes, Sammi & Commons are all closing down players well. If you look at the huns, they’ve had Cuellar, Broadfoot, Bougerra, Weir, Goian, Bartley, McCulloch all playing in central defence & have defended well- can you really say ANY of those players are better than our defenders? The huns are a counter attacking team by nature & defend in numbers as a team- sometimes we don’t do that quite as well. I think Lenny is now successfully instilling the message that you have to have hard work off the ball, pressing, supporting each other…& defending as a unit from front to back.
Luxcelt it was pay at the gate
Kev I too was outside for 35 mins or so, Aitken got sent off and we were one nil down by the time I squeezed behind the goal at the love st end
Estorilbhoy
Great game great atmosphere
You remember that but will quickly forget the champions league final the other night
I would pay 100 pounds to watch a game like that sc quarter final replay again
As long as it was the same score :)))
Ernie, you are being evasive. May I refer you to my post of 11.17 and ask you to show common courtesy by replying?

No I’m with 3 por cierto.

Not 600.
Nearly 600.

There are no words!!!
Whether something is a myth or based on truth is pointless.
If we accept a myth as true now & use it to create something better then it can only be a good thing.
What difference does it make if its factually true or false?
Facts are overrated. They change all the time.
What is truly of value always remains valuable.
Norwich v CELTIC live on Setanta Ireland tomorrow night

Thanks for that. Champagne is a deffo for the good lady after the event.

If that was Celtic yesterday we would have had thousands turning up as we don’t expect favours the way they do. What we have wasn’t handed to us.
………………………………………………………………..
It makes you wonder why, after, as you point out, what we have…ie- the stadium built by Celtic fans money….why then, do we/the board not do something about the huns trying to wreck the stadium with, evidence all over the internet and, mentioned in some msm reports ?
Or, do we put the attempted wrecking of the stadium on the back-burner until, we see whats going to happen with the Dark-Side ?
The toxicity levels involved in the hun case can’t be under estimated. IMO!

It’s ascribing to Brother Walfrid a particular reason for chosing the name he did when there’s no evidence to support the view, so yes it does matter.

– > aye – i actually knew that, but seemingly there were thousands of folk milling about trying to get in. I actually work with the guy, so can check the details with him – but that is how he got in.
So Advocaat and McLeish failed to win all the SPL titles available to them, even though the club were cheating with the prime goal of winning the league?!
I’d hate to be in that appraisal.
Murray: So, we gave you millions, some of which was due to the taxman, we cooked the books and we played ineligible players, yet we lost the league to a Celtic team who played within the rules?
Advocaat: So what? Fine me! (but only on the portion declared in my contract)…

it wasn’t Ranse Stoppard, it was Tom Doniphon.
Gene Pitney did the singing

The Man who shot Liberty Vallance CSC -way down south.
Without wishing to get involved in the sadly heated & totally irrelevent spat with regard to our club’s wonderful name, I am fairly certain that Willie Maley always insisted that Brother Walfred WAS trying to be inclusive with his choice of the name.
WM also tells us that our founding father ALWAYS called them KELTIC.
I am sure that Willie Maley would know as much about the subject as our CQN combatants.
