Since a couple of flat performances against Sion in the qualifying round, Celtic have reserved some of their most organised performances of the season for the Europa League, despite the lack of a victory. Honourable defeat in Madrid followed by more-than-credible draws against Udinese and Rennes suggest there is more to this Celtic team that we see in the SPL.
It’s hard to look forward to the second half of the season and the potential for knock out football in the Europa League but if Celtic get their act together, a win tonight could go a long way towards restoring the reputation of the club, and a few players.
How Neil Lennon responds to yet more injury absentees is difficult to imagine. I’m not expecting fluency from a makeshift defence and midfield, although Celtic Flourished in the Glasgow derby in similar circumstances on 2 January this year, but I’m hoping to see Gary Hooper and Anthony Stokes look more like a partnership. We need both players on form and enjoying their work if any progress is to be made.
Busy day ahead but the Hearts situation is possibly worth a discussion this afternoon. The scenario changes by the day at Ibrox but that conversation will need to wait.

5. However, whilst there are clearly “specific” characteristics of the sport/football industry which demand that it be treated differently by government economic regulators, this should not amount to a blanket exemption. One such example is the Football Creditors Rule, the football industry rule whereby where a football club has collapsed into financial administration, in order for it to re-enter the league, the new owners must pay all football industry creditors 100% of outstanding debt. Other non-football creditors then receive proportionately less. Given there have been 53 incidences of administration in the Premier and Football Leagues between 1992 and 2010[21] additional losses endured by non-football creditors have been significant, as a reading of the April 2010 administrator’s report[22] for Portsmouth FC demonstrates. Creditors include Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) (for a multi-million tax debt) and a host of local small businesses and public agencies including South Central Ambulance Service (£19,535) and St John’s Ambulance (£2,701).

It’s a comparison that I believe is valid, closer to now time NI and the Balkans along with Chechnya and a few other places spring to mind. and the world stands by and watches things unfold, they are horrified and eventually the world gets around to stoping the ethnic clensing.
Or do you believe that it could never happen in scotland, like so many never believed it would never happen in Northern Ireland. Seriously.

These Vanguard Bears don’t hold back do they?
These types of probing questions about the future of their club are really important and yet they settle for one word answers.
VB – Do you have a value in mind that you could settle at with HMRC that could allow the club to pay off any amount due, should Rangers lose the “main” case against the organisation, and avoid the scenario of Administration or Insolvency?
CW – Yes, although that value is sensitive
VB – Would that value be paid directly without offsetting against future season ticket revenue?
CW – Yes
VB – Are you confident of winning the case?
CW – Yes
The following question should read ‘Why are we not controlling Scottish Football?’
VB- We’ve have no representation on either the SFA professional board or the SPL board since Martin Bain has left? With Peter Lawwell, Eric Riley & Stephen Thompson among those now in senior positions there seems little influence for Rangers within the management circles of Scottish Football
The answer should read ‘They won’t let us’
CW – The SPL is democratic, and Ali Russell will take over from Eric Riley at the SPL next year. The SFA has obviously been through some restructuring which we will monitor throughout the coming months.
This is comedy gold!
VB – The previous management at Rangers attempted a Share issue, which was undersubscribed, largely due to a lack of trust between the support and the custodian. Is this an avenue that you have considered?
CW – It’s not something we have considered to any great degree. Do you think the support would invest?
VB – If given confidence that the money would be used wisely, yes
Whyte’s response to that answer must have been ‘Oh ya dancer’
Lastly the shameful question.
VB – We understand that there was an incident in the Tunnel at Ibrox before you bought the club, where an opposition manager is rumoured to have racially abused Vladimir Weiss and El Hadj Diouf. Did this happen, and if so, why weren’t the press told? Do the club have evidence?
CW – I wasn’t here, so can’t comment. We don’t want anyone to lose their job do we?
If Rangers had any evidence it would be out there. Do you think Swally is concerned that the whisper in Neil’s ear is going to go public?
This alledged racist abuse wasn’t even mentioned before this incident.
They are really the lowest of the low.

3 November, 2011 at 16:33
more hysterical lunatic ramblings from the darkside, this time from rangers media. i seriously dont wish to share the same planet as these delusional dimwits. at least, i’m a few hundred miles away living in the relative sanity of nw england. feel sorry for the scots based bhoys having to read/hear/see their hate-filled poisonous paranoia daily. anyway, take it away you hun bampot:
“I am sick to death of the media telling me what I am thinking and that my club Rangers is in free-fall and pending death and whilst all Rangers fans are having sleepless nights, the journalists too are up during the wee small hours, but they are sitting at their laptops inventing more lies and exaggerations with which to defile our club.
It’s become a phantom feeding frenzy. The carcass of financial ruin has been picked clean and only the bones are left. Yet these hyenas are so crowded around the skeleton that we can’t see what really is happening.
What they are doing however is crowding and gorging on the wrong creature. For them, Rangers is a boardroom. An oak panelled suite where living dinosaurs (crocodiles) come and go only to govern the real club called Rangers. That real club is on the park and the terraces. It is not on balance sheets and bank statements, it is goal mouths and league tables that represent the real Rangers. In short it’s us, the people.
I have never heard of a football fan anywhere in the world that buys a season ticket to sit in a boardroom and sing songs and argue about the attack and defence of financial accounting practices.
The media can’t touch US (though they try with their complaints about songs and flags) because we are far too big, too healthy and too clever for their pathetic practices. They can only hit the boardroom with all its secrets and sharp practices.
That has nothing to do with players, the ground or the fans.
We are not fearful nor do we really, really care about the clandestine movers and shakers in the board room. Every true loving Rangers fan (or any other fan of their own club) looks first and foremost every week at the results. Never at the balance sheet.
If this club should be re-branded, re-decorated, removed to a new base or regurgitated as the same the fans will remain as constant as the stars in the sky. We are the custodians of Rangers. By the very nature that we follow the results whether it be on the Internet or the Copland stand it is we who truly OWN the club.
If WE decide to walk away, all of us, it matters not a flying fig what they do in the boardroom or what the journalists say. The club will die. The end. What they do in the boardroom and the pages of their disgusting rags will make no fatalistic blow to RANGERS. On the extreme example, look at Wimbledon FC.
Yet, not one university trained, arse licking journalist or TV presenter has the fundamental intelligence to understand this. They are brainwashed into thinking that they are the voice, the judge and jury presiding over Rangers. They spin a web of lies, deceit, conceit and downright scaremongering and spread bad news everywhere they can. The truth of the matter is they will never achieve their aim because those who read their lies and believe them have not one concern for Scottish football or Scotland for that matter in the first place. They are preaching to the deaf and the disinterested.
Rangers is as much a part of the fabric of Scottish society as the river Clyde. Ask anyone who has the slightest knowledge of Scotland to list things they know about Scotland and the survey will inevitably come back with Rangers FC amongst the other iconic items. They might even say King Robert the Bruce too btw and everyone will lament about how he fought and died for the cause that is the nation called Scotland. They won’t be dismissed because Bruce was a murdering git and his arch enemy was a useless numpty, unlike his father who had the Scots by the throat for a generation before. They will agree that Robert the Bruce was a very proud piece in the jigsaw that makes up Scotland.
The journalist will stand up for Robert the Bruce to the last. But they will spit and howl at the sound of Rangers name.
Not one journalist has the guts to stand up for this famous Scottish institution. The club that helped to create the reputation from the very beginning, that Scotland and football and the country as a whole has much to be proud of. The millions of fans around the world that by virtue of being Scottish and Rangers fans sell Scotland every bit as much as any marketing company for any product. The media would have you believe they are all charlatans and sad cases of misdirected beliefs.
Rangers is a football club. It is not a bank or an oil prospector churning up the countryside and destroying livelihoods. It is a tangible entity that any other country would be proud of to have on their soil. It promotes and generates far more good amongst communities than it spoils. It stands for everything that a football club should. It is a magnet for social and leisure activities. Like any other institution it also attracts bad elements. That’s the way of life and society in general but the media would have you believe that it is unique to just Rangers.
In any other nation, politicians, the media and the people at large would be defending the reputation of the club during such times as these. Scotland suffers from the bipolar vision of a sick political system and an even sicker media sector. They only peddle scandal and outrage and if there is none they will invent it.
Rangers FC Ltd may go into administration, they may require intensive care after major surgery. But Rangers as a football club will always be what the fans pay their money to go and see. A successful and proud institution that no man can put asunder, however hard he tries.
Never before has the cry No Surrender been more appropriate amongst the true custodians than it is today.

They obviously lapped this up thinking all is rosy but he neglected to tell them that Plans A (Qualification for Champs league) and B (qualification for Europa league) are no longer goers and that Plan C involved a payday loan got out last Friday with the hope of keeping them afloat until Jan to sell off the players.
Plan D is very fast becoming Plan A.

a beating tonight will be damaging to the club’s morale and image. A Club the size of ours should not be phased by 2 upcoming games against Rennes and Motherwell. This talk of ‘play the kids’ etc is naive – we need to get a strong side on the park tonight, and win the game – which will give the whole squad a boost ahead of the weekend.
perhaps not a full first XI, but enough experienced bodies on there tro deal with a pacy skilfull rennes team.
Neil has to then make sure these experienced guys are motivated to perform. can he do that? i’m not so sure….

We went to Ibrox on 2nd January in terrible form and decimated by injury, many would have taken a draw and any sparing of humiliation. Wee Izzy knocked one onto the bar from a McCullough header after 6 minutes. From that moment our season turned around, we beat the huns 3 times, we won the cup and lost the league by the width of a midges dental floss.
Tonight is the time to resurrect ourselves and never look back.

You are not seriously equating Scotland with 1930s Germany are you? Seriously
When a society hits the buffers and they are facing difficult times, the first thing they do is look for a focal point for their anger/hate to blame.
In Germany, the Nazis targeted the Jews, in Hunland, their propagandists are targeting “Timmy”.
There has already been blood on the streets and the legislators are planning more discriminatory laws.
So take care out there.

BT, wee Derryghirl said I should have told you the story behind “the book”.
The author wanted to raise some money for Foyle hospice. Her idea for the book was to ask Derry folk to tell her they’re fav prayer and why, she thought she would sell about 50 books, she has sold much more than that, and raised many hundreds of thousand pounds for the Derry hospice.

Turn a blind eye and deaf ear to our songs on a Saturday night.
Most of them not on our songlist now.
Evening All,
I have noticed at various times posters saying we should leave the SPL should either of the jam fart’s or the rearranger’s gain the votes needed to stay at the top table after their offence’s. These calls are usually replied to with a “and go where?” response.
Well, I’ll give you one option. Now I’m not saying it’s my preferred option,,and it might be unpopular with Celtic supporters in Scotland,,but it is an option.
Move to Dublin and join the Eircomm league. Now hear me out a minute please,,,,,,
Celtic must give two year’s notice to the SPL.
There is two years to publicise and promote the move. As far as I can see it would be the best city on the island geographically gaining huge numbers from Belfast travelling the 2 hours down and the strong support from the rebel county can make it in 3 hours, plus you take in the native Dubs and travelling Scot support and the club could still play in front of big numbers.
With help from government,, who would surely welcome the influx of cash, plus they could market internationally a visit to the oul city and a ticket to see Celtic as a package, we could take say the Aviva as our temp home.
A shot in the arm for the league having 10 times more exposure and surely more revenue to accompany it.
A shot in the arm for the Irish football fans who are far to exposed to the EPL and would take the opportunity to watch quality football at home quicker,especially European nights which should be regular.
Its obvious things are about to change with the SPL and not for the better I would wager,,I dont see much other choice than stay in a corrupt league or leave it and the only other league I think we have a hope of getting into is the Irish one. They voted in Derry City under special circumstances and rest assured would vote for us.
We go back to grass roots football,,the cream of Irish and Scots youth and a genuine try to improve the game and league around us. Play entertaining football to attract the neutral and price tickets to fill the stands and try to become a community club again.
Celtic could thrive in such an environment,but it would take time and help from all supporters.
Well like I said,,its an option. Now for pelters from the Scotch!

Getting on a flight back to Glasgow in 10 minutes, will land at kick off time, no chance of making it over to Celtic Park in time.
