The world looked so different for Scottish Football League chief executive, David Longmuir, back in March. He convinced half of the member clubs to reject a deal which would earn them considerably more money next season, while enjoying the accolades of Rangers International chief exec, Charles Green.
Green remains a controlling director of Rangers International, but Longmuir’s actions infuriated First Division clubs, who have now applied to join the SPL, furious at his attempts to subvert them earning what many see as crucial income next season.
To suggest Longmuir acted in the interests of one Third Division club to the considerable detriment of all First Division clubs would be stating the obvious. These shenanigans still go on in Scottish football, even now, after all that happened last year, but it is reassuring that the overwhelming majority of voices have, again, said, ‘On your (boardroom) bike’. We are rapidly becoming one of the least corrupt countries football is played in the world. Good luck to all in the First Division.
I read the leaked document, Rangers (sic): the way forward, yesterday afternoon. It was so ludicrously lacking in anything which remotely resembled substance I assumed the leak was an attempt to discredit Charles Green. Then I heard BBC’s Chris McLaughlin say it was Green himself behind the leak. The fact that the Rangers International director categorically recognised the club is lumbered with a lame manager hardly passes for insight. The document was embarrassingly inept.
“The team will work for each other and press the opponents when not in possession.
“Most of all, players will come off the park knowing that they have done their best.”
In a high-level policy document this is cringeworthy.

Afternoon all
Don’t usually comment during games but in the 96 years I’ve been watching Celtic that is the worst pitch I’ve ever seen.
H x 2
Jimbo
Stokes AGAIN offside when Watt broke away down left.
3 offsides already for Anthony…….2 of them when he can clearly see along line of last defender!!!
Get tony watt thru middle.. Does great on left but hes a striker who needs his experiance at playing thru middle and finishing chances

Pitch helped us there I thought
Lucas saves low after Sproule mugged Izzy
Despite one of the worst pitches a can recall at thistime of the tear, and considering we have won the league, we are playing well…….
Hope the stuff about Gershon being ‘shown the door’ (from Paul Larkin on twitter) is BS – having a great game so far.
rc player awarded 9.2 for a dive
LOL! dexter and ‘gg… Thank feck for that, I thought I was losing the plot!! :) Keep up the updates fellas, teuchters are teuchters after awe!!
Good save zallie
ESPN and Sky should give County a bollocking. As a customer, I am paying handsomely for the privilege of live SPL football involving Celtic which, 90% of the time, is coverage of away games. However, repeated journeys to away ‘pitches’ and ‘stadia’ like this do not make for entertaining viewing.
Wilson heads cross away
RC fk on edge of box as another RC player went down in box
Lucas saves well at LH post from FK
Great save Big Luke…
Jimbo67 – genius and a legend!
Celtic to win this game,by two clear goals,at least
Great save there from our best keeper.
‘Mon the Poles!
RC mid to forward working well at the moment
Celts quiet last five. Foot off gas. Maybe players already thinking about the beach…. Understandably
Pitch immediately in front of cameras is awful
How can we expect professional footballers to risk injury on this surface?
Jabba’s been ‘n’ gone ‘n’ barred CQN from ding wall!
Amazing ball across the box by stokes
Joe Ledley playing well today…
Stokes tempting ball across goal.
No takers attacking it
Needed Hoops for that cross by Anto
Ooooo…..nearly….Ledley should have shot……
Gershon defending well so far…
……however, at least twice he’s put long balls straight through to county keeper…nowhere near any team mate.
Distribution will need to improve if given new contract.
Great work by Anto running right to collect. Ledley ultimately plays intelligent dink back to Anto who passes across goal. No takers and out for GK
Good run Dylan thwarted
Now there’s a good word for early Sunday
The pitch is a disgrace even for a pub League match never mind a professional one. What image of Scottish football does this present to the foreign audience?
Great run by Dylan, really like the guy.
Pitch?
Hmmmmmm
Coup?(ed)
Bettah.
Coup, is a Disgrace…
Celtic,are having a lotta trouble Adjustin.
They wull hiv a loatta trouble tae haud oanta that slender wan Goal lead.
Kojo
Fed Up.
Dylan mcgeouch
Whats his history / background ?
From glasgow is he …
All i know is he left our youth team to go to huns then came back to us . Correct me if im wrong by the way.
Think hes gonna be good player
30 minutes gone and we lead 1-0 from Stokes’ early goal
Celtic would be within their rights to send out the youth team on a surface like this. Footballing assets risking injury on this pitch
Almost a great ball by Joe
16 Roads
Thanks. No more Whisky for me!
Jimbo
Looked like a penalty there to me.
Stokes our right again. Cross blocked then he tries a second time to far post. Attack peters out after KC falls under wee bit of pressure. No pen
