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.

Yep , Craigan defending it.

Tallybhoy
I stand corrected mate. Sorry bout that :(

Ross county 1 Celtic 2
Just dreaming !
Good on you Pat Bonner tell that clown Craigan what’s what.
To say the pitch is a great leveler is an understatement.
When the SPL draw up their criteria for entry, no1 on the list should be the state of the pitch.
Big Packie slaps down Craigen when Craigen tries to justify linesmans incorrect offside call.
Kojo – i understand what you are saying mate,but we are being robbed here,plus we have been very unlucky.
We will crush this mob second half anyway.
Packy rubbishes Craigen, who is trying to make excuses for the linesman……LOL … HURTIN BHUN….

Ha, big Paddy giving it tight to craigan on the offside decision.
Camera picture from behind goal doesn’t make pitch any better looking
Euphemism from Celtic TV “It’s not the best pitch.”
And the commentator sanctioned mibbery would surely give any neutral the notion that this is all perfectly acceptable in what passes for football in Scotland, and that Celtic have to be handicapped just to even things up.
I mean, there are honest mistakes (aye, right) and then there is what everyone just witnessed.
I need to calm down.
Shocking decision re disallowed goal.
Great decision from the MIB perspective.
Pathetic and blatant.
4-1 hoops FT

I don’t know about these refs. I have run the line at games ( I did the reffing course 25 years ago) and found offside the easiest part of the role. Keep in line with 2nd last defender and you can’t get it wrong. Simple.

Greetings from Bernie’s 19th Hole, Bena Vista, Costa del Sol, where I’m watching the game. Visiting a good friend and have never been here before. It’s like visiting the UK with Mediterranean weather, lol. C’mon the Hoops.
Sorry to ask again but who is the co commentator?
OK lads you have got my attention.
How was Craigan trying to justify lineman’s bias?

Dylan is 21 and rejoined us from the huns when he was 18.
He must have spent some time with our youth set up ,how long I dont know.
His brother was also on our books ,but when he was refused a new contract his father was not to happy about it.
This was the reasoning behind Dylan going to the Huns.

Will be difficult for us in the second half, with the condition of this pitch…..
