The Rangers International share prospectus contained references about league reconstruction possibly expediting the club’s ascent to the Scottish Premier League for the first time. This was never on anyone else’s agenda and was merely the latest manifestation of the train of thought that Scottish football could not, and would not, consider life without ‘Rangers’ in the top flight, or perhaps one division below. We can only hope that the company’s budgeting was not dependent on this aspiration.
Even the most ardent advocates of the belief structure that a ‘Rangers’ branded company is wanted and needed by the rest of the game must now accept ample evidence exists that their flat earth claims are folly. For the record, Scottish football no more needs Celtic than it did Rangers, we are a lumbering albatross around their necks.
The Rangers chief executive, Charles Green, makes a valid point about the remainder of his club’s season, “If this [12-12-18 reconstruction] does happen, what is the point of us finishing the season?
“We might as well have a winter break from now until August. I can’t see any point in carrying on with meaningless matches.”
Crap club
As many have pointed out, his is the same purpose as the teams in each division who are free of relegation threats and already out of title/promotion contention – it’s called sport, but all teams in the SFL Third Division are effectively now playing for the joy of the game itself, which is pretty much what most of the do anyway. Let’s hope Mr Green’s comments are not widely reported to those he is trying to sell tickets to. It was astutely reported that Green has the makings of a PT Barnum about him, but rubbishing your own product is more Gerald Ratner than Barnum.
Roll up, roll up
By contrast, PT Lawwell’s comments on the proposed reorganisation, “To be fair, it is one of the very infrequent times when the greater good of the game has been taken into account”, could be taken straight from the consensus-builder’s manual. It remains to be seen how best to serve the greater good, but any solution has to work for every club, not just one or two.
Delighted Terry Butcher is staying in the Highlands. Great news for Inverness and the SPL. I’m enjoying this season; more please.

I think the bhuns are starting to realise ranting greengo’s ‘end game’……. he and his anonymous cronies are panicking with the new financial road they are going down ……e.g. they won’t be able to increase SB prices next season, if they last that long….

Excellent-did that myself for a few years a while back.
Rarely charged for repairs ,replacements,etc except when someone really p….d me off.
You should see the cable-run I did for the eejit who lives next door to my sister,who annoyed me more than most.
I was so proud…..

Couldn’t agree more. We should be glad we have him.
I actually cringe for the Hun whenever chuckie speaks now.
The entire club is an embarrassment, I’d be mortified if Celtic behaved like them.
The majority of the Hun lap it up though. Which kinda sums them up.
Stupid stupid Huns.

No chance of violence being visited upon them.

No Probs, and Thanks again for the efforts
The sevco share issue is a bit like The Producers, but sort of in reverse, I think ???
MWD, the article AuldHeid put a link up for didn’t make me think less of the GB, it didn’t make me think less of the Board either. I have seen no increase in violence, I expect none from the GB. I also expect the GB to be organised enough to resist the infiltration predicted in the article.
My point here is we must keep putting out that message, what we see, no violence, no one drunk, no disorder, a bit of bhoystress fun. The GB are a force for good at CP.
If that article was from the Board and they wanted to alienate the GB they failed.
I don’t think it was.

He’s teflon at the moment-but so was Whyte at one stage.
When it goes titsup this time,and all the spinning and lies is found wanting,someone is gonna get it.
I would not want to be thought of by the hordes as having been a part of it.
So Jabba and Jackson in particular,and even Smith and Sally,had best be on the lookout….

Didn’t some folks used to say that one of the reasons for the Catholic Church banning contraception was so their population would grow quicker than anybody elses and they’d take over.
Seems somewhat similar to what you’re saying.
