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!

I wonder how many referees will be on the hun creditors list – or are those the only payments Whyte keeps up to date?
What the F!!!!!
£75m! £75 bloody million!!!
Ice cream and jello for the American Bhoys
Nope….still can’t make out a word the guy’s saying.
£75 million tax bill says mbm
whyte says big bill could be 75 mil
Just tanked the valentines bubbly – wife helped – I glass. Excuse this really isn’t a good vintage and I can get a better bottle tomorrow ASDA have a sale of fine wines – fingers were crossed. Don’t think the restaurant booked for tomorrow does Ice cream and jelly. Does soufflé count?
Cut me off before my second point!
Exiled Tim
Snap with the accas,but you have the courageous single that counts.How good does that feel after being 15points behind ?
I doff my Celtic bunnet.

The course I play has a par 5 18th, it’s the easiest par 5 I have ever played, and only twice have I ever eagled it, both times Drive, 7 wood and a putt, keep duffing away :>)
They can’t pay that tax bill?
Why not? I thought Whyte was a billionaire and a Rangers supporter.
Well, the Scottish media told me that.
75 mil thats a lot of ice cream
good on ya owen !
I don’t buy my season ticket for the rangers game
posted earlier that this is a great day to remember those that are no longer with us, that would have relished this day. I listed a few and they are at the forefront of my thoughts tonight.
I’m going to the gym now to punish my body, it’s had too much enjoyment today.
Enjoy the moment guys, cant wait for the flat line.

On SSN – Have we just heard the first confirmation that the tax case has definitely ruled against them?
adminstration was discussed long before his time
Keevins on Synde calling a Celt a liar- what a fud.
All we’re hearing on Clyde & Radio Scotland is fear. Fear for their comfortable futures…
Graeme Spiers and Hugh Keevans can feel the sense of the inevitable end of their ‘exclusives’ and shockeroony back pages.
We have 2 options:
1. Canvas for votes in joining the premiership
2. Work together in Scotland for making a fairer, more equitable Scottish league
Mark my words, Peer Lawell needs to play a blinder from here on it. All eyes on the prize.
Wonderful, just wonderful.
The auld HMRC are playing a blinder and will deliver the coup de grace imminently, I’ve not even had the chance to cash my tax rebate yet :¬) I might return it with a thank you note!……….. well mibbee naw :¬)

I’d just like to Thank Neil Lennon and the Bhoys for a brilliant run of form that had us easily overtake them before this momentous day. Superb.
Good comments today by Peter Lawwell as well.
Now the fun really begins.
Standing up for Neil and his Championship winning squad.
c whyte -“no way rankers can pay that tax bill- I had to make decision for the b est long term decision for interest of rankers”
“no choice”

Ice cream and jello for the American Bhoys
Had it for lunch.
This news may well clear the way for Celtic to get the come on to join the EPL or the Championship in the not too distant future.
49 million plus penalties
i wuddina
BBC have decided to send ace reporter Kate Adie to Iborcs to cover the Govan Spring
Ok Spiers
WHo are these hordes of Celtic fans who are desperate to see Celtic play them?
More lies.
What did you eat on beginning of the end day?
Me; tempted though I was by the (succulent) lamb I plumped for scallops with a rocket, pea and edamme salad and, for a touch of naughtiness (but not too naughty) some low fat oven chips; hmmmmm…
Also invested in a nice bottle of Rioja to wash it all down.
Saving champers and jelly ‘n ice-cream for the end of the huns day…
;-))))
I don’t like playing the hun. Always too nervous.
Although I have a good record in seeing Celtic against the hun I’ve only seen 1 game against that lot when we’ve won by more than 1 goal and that was the 3 – 0 win against the hun after the St Patrick’s day massacre over 20 years ago.
Hate games against the hun.
Go on yerself Eoin – tell it like it is – Let them Burn. Keevins is a Fud
The Murderwell Dilema
Do we lose our remaining games to them to ensure the Huns don’t come second ……………………if they’re still around of course !
See all the problems wee Craigie has caused.
Whit’s he like !
£49m just rose to £75m according to Craig Whyte.
Dead in the water.
mbb “rankers will always be around… always be at ibrox
“I’ll invest within reason”
“I can assure everyone rankers are here to stay. It’s why I’ve done this today.”
I think it’s clear that they regard administration as a means of avoiding the tax bill but it will allow them to keep on going as if nothing has happened.
Hunbelievable!
another celt on – the celtic suppoorters will always support their team

Ain’t no Hun. And I can assure you that my Tim credentials are a match for many and superior to some.
As I posted last week, I will do my gloating when the appropriate time comes.
Regardless of any mathematical error on my part, the hard fact is that we still have to do the business.
AYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
