There are not words powerful enough to describe today’s news. The English language is insufficient and I have no Greek or Latin. Rangers Football Club have today asked the Court of Session to appoint an administrator, unable to service their creditors. The freight train of their tax tribunal has yet to hit, these events relate exclusively to how the club has operated in other areas.
Scottish Premier League rules state that clubs are deducted 10 points on going into administration, which will give Celtic a 14 point lead at the top of the table once in effect.
This is a day we have predicted will come for over three years. It has been inevitable for that long. Now the really interesting events will happen.
We don’t need no stinkin’ Rangers.
Up the Celts!

=======================
not my work, found it on Celtic Minded!
Peter Lawell has to be positive about Celtics future as we are a company.
Love the sub heading on sky sports site
“Light Blues lodge notice in Edinburgh at Monday lunchtime”
There will be a few lodge notices going out this week.
Just heard a helicopter fly by….. are we getting a trophy today?
Whyte would have lost preferred creditor status if this didn’t happen today. SSN
Glasgow Celtic champions!!!! We have our song back.

Lads someone just said if they go into admin its 10pts but if they’re forced into admin it’s 25pts, is this correct.
SSN guy outside ayebrokes just said he is led to believe that Whyte did this today in order to protect his status as preferred creditor. Watch yersel Craig!
The player Talksport is talking about not going to Ibroke but to Paradise is fullback Miguel ( couldn’t catch his last name)
Have at ye-dying beast

‘We’re Simply The Bust! Skinter than all the rest…’
The End Game has begun. Wee Pawn CW has moved from protecting his Knight and his Rook.
Will he manage to get to the other side of the Board..?
Will it be stalemate?
Long way to go….
Just the beginning of an unknown ending.
Simply the bust
Kittoch:
Yes, and NOW let’s hear how they are “right behind him.”
He has acted in his own interests and to Hell with the club. Just as they confirm a signing to get them back into the title race, he does this and ends that race at a stroke.
The right hand doesn’t know what the far-right hand is doing. But one thing is clear.
He has just demonstrated, in the most clear and unambiguous way, that the club matters not one bit.
Congratulations/Administration
Congratulations and celebrations
When I tell everyone that administration’s here
Congratulations and jubilations
I want the world to know I’m happy as can be.
Who could believe that I could be happy and contented
I used to think that happiness hadn’t been invented
But that was in the bad old days
When Minty ruled them
And truly fooled them
With his arrogant ways.
Congratulations and celebrations
When I tell everyone that administration’s here
Congratulations and jubilations
I want the world to know I’m happy as can be.
Congratulations
And jubilations
I want the world to know I’m happy as can be
I want the world to know
I’m happy as can be
Just wanted to see my new name on the blog.
Meant to add that the SSN guy seemed to be trying hard to keep a big grin off his coupon.
Paul67,
You are right, of course. We don’t need them in any shape or form. Our manager has said it; our CEO has said it. But the BBC Scotland sports department are still telling Britain (as of 10 minutes ago om BBC24) that we must be very worried about them going to the wall. They and their ilk are clinging to straws.
LET ALL OF THEM ROT IN THEIR BILE. MON THE TAX MAN.
WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED.
Well the myans were correct, 2012 was the begining of the end for some…
Hail Hail
Finn
is it not unbelievable that on this day of days
they are putting a positive spin onit ????
and now it seems that this move is to protect CW status as preferred supplier, got legality issues all over it.
Happy Days, wish customers would leave me alone to read the blog, will be picking up some Jelly & Ice Cream on way home oh and mibbies some bubbles too

MY MAMMA TOLD ME THERE’D BE DAYS LIKE THIS
When it’s not always raining
there’ll be days like this
When there’s noone complaining
there’ll be days like this
Everything falls into phase
like the flick of a switch
Well my momma told me
there’ll be days like this
When you don’t need to worry
there’ll be days like this
When noone’s in a hurry
there’ll be days like this
When you don’t get betrayed
by that old Judas kiss
Oh my momma told me
there’ll be days like this
When you don’t need an answer
there’ll be days like this
When you don’t meet a chancer
there’ll be days like this
When all the parts of the puzzle
start to look like they fit
Then I must remember
there’ll be days like this
When everyone is upfront
and they’re not playing tricks
When you don’t have no freeloaders
out to get their kicks in
When it’s nobody’s business
the way that you wanna live
I just have to remember
there’ll be days like this
When noone steps on my dreams
there’ll be days like this
When people understand what I mean
there’ll be days like this
When you bring out the changes
of how everything is
Well my momma told me
there’ll be days like this
Oh my momma told me
there’ll be days like this
Well my momma told me
there’ll be days like this
Oh my momma told me
there’ll be days like this
Oh my momma told me
there’ll be days like this
Shortbread is fantastic listening just now

O joyous serendipity.
I have found a bottle of fine red wine which I last tasted in Seville.
Protos Crianza 2003, a belter of a Ribera Del Duero.
I will toast my Grandpa, who would have enjoyed today immensely.
He could talk about Charlie Tully, Willie Fernie and Patsy Gallacher
til you lost the will to live.
I miss him so much.

Is the rumour that even the refs are gathering outside ibrox, candles in hand, reall true?! That would be just too much.
Somebody on Rangers media claims a texas oil baron is waiting to save them. Just when i had stopped crying and changed my underwear as well.
GREEN MONDAY
LOL

I was away to Blairgowrie for the weekend. Just got back and logged in to find out they’ve only been and gone and done it – ADMINISTRATION, Whoopee!
“We don’t need no stinkin’ Rangers” – love it Paul!

Will Cousin be made redundant tomorrow ?
No, he’s a Sone Aluko signing, so he’s safe.

Trying (with Andrew) to keep the blog up as much as possible. Will catch up with questions later.
Enjoy the day.
And we’re back……
Daniel Cousin spotted buying Tippex in WH Smith….
And now the end is near
And so The huns face the final curtain
Phil he said it clear
Theyll lose the tax case of this im certain
They lived the life of cheats
And traveled rioting every highway
And more, much more than this
They did it Murrys way
Deviates they have a few
But then again too many to mention
They did what Bigoted huns do
And saw it through without exemption
They planned each cheating course
Each careful tax dodge on players pay
And more, much more than this
They did it Murrays way
Yes there were times The Huns knew
When They paid players more than They could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
The media cover up and lied about
They faced the fall
Bigoted songs were their call
and did it Murrays way
They loathe and now they cry
They had their fill,
Now they’re losing
And now their tears fill the Clyde
Tims find it all so amusing
To think They cheated all that
And may I say in a bigoted way
Hello hello is not for me
They did it Murrays way
For what is a hun what has he got
Bugger all just tears and snot
Ice cream and Jelly is tonights meal
Let’s laugh as Huns they squeal
The record shows
They cheats are low
And died of Murrays Way
Yes the died of Murrays ways
