This evening we received clarity on two items first reported here and on several other locations months ago. Sevco have accepted the 12 month player registration embargo handed down by Lord Carloway’s Appellate Tribunal as a condition of their application for membership of the SFA, while Fifa have granted four former Rangers players permission to sign for new clubs.
The SFA, under president Campbell Ogilvie, took every step possible to alert Sevco that if they did not accept the transfer embargo a more severe penalty would be imposed on Rangers, whose licence they are trying to acquire. Hopes of “elimination” from the Scottish Cup as an alternative punishment were based on false logic, and were also just silly.
Sevco disputed the embargo, hoping the SFA would offer to set it aside, as it tried to set-aside so many other rules to accommodate them in recent weeks, however, the best the new company could achieve was an accommodation to allow them to stock up on players over the next five weeks in order to off-set the effects of so many players ‘walking away’.
There is a chance this decision will save Sevco a second season in the SFL Third Division but there remains many hurdles for the new club to achieve before they start and complete a football season.
No mention yet of what the SFA and SPL plan to do with the plethora of other disciplinary matters due against Rangers, or how they proposed to prevent their own independent judicial process from reaching an inconvenient verdict.

Another way you could contribute is,
send me money on a weekly basis,
and i will spend it in a very Celtic minded pub
faganemeraldcsc
I might also do the Celtic TV thing.
Do ex-UK get same viewing rights as UK residents?
Is it any good? Live games?
BT I am watching it at my usual shop.

No green for me either, better safe than sorry.

I’ll be in town around 2 p.m. Let me know where you’ve settled.
All the very best to the Development Squad this week-end. They are in effect the Celtic B side, and it would be great if they could compete in SFL3, or, at the very least, once the long talked about league pyramid system is in place, in the division below SFL3 or its successor! Matches could be played at Barrowfield, could they not? This seems to work in countries like Spain and Germany, so why not in Scotland?! But wait, I forgot that the Scottish footballing authorities are both incompetent and corrupt!
Think it will happen one day though when the big team are in a European Super League!
HH!!
Dreaming of a future outwith the SPL CSC
AuldHeid, GordonJ – not only do ‘The’ Rangers/ Sevco appear to be acting as Pre liquidation Oldco Rangers FC they also seem to be committed to continuing with the destructive behaviours that got Oldco liquidated in the first place.
HMRC and hundreds of creditors will no doubt be watching with interest. Interest of course will be accumulating on that Big Tax Bill.

Be good to see you again mate.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Couple of changes to Celtic subs at
Firhill. Paul Slane and Joe Chalmers
on bench instead of Mark
Barrowman and Glenn Eadie.(MH)
The huns and the SFA have absolutely shamed Scotland but justice will be served when we look back in 20 years to see no club playing out of that midden will ever be anything of a match to Celtic,the animals did it to themselves,they deserve no pity nor help,from getting into a cosy arrangement with the bank whilst other clubs were left to rot to using tax scams to pay better players,you wonder what type of scams they will try in future because they will need them,that’s what they are all about,animals who don’t do sport,long may they suffer.

Same here mate.

Someone mentioned that the game’s on Sky today? I don’t have Sky, but I did see an advert saying they’re showing Sky Sports channels for free this weekend. Think it applies to Sky or Virgin customers.
I don’t understand the difference between the two CTV options.
Both look the same except that one says PREMIUM QUALITY
So is the normal one keech quality?

You could buy a kids season ticket and donate it to the Kano Foundation who enable access for kids unlikely to get otherwise?
Just a thought.

I wonder if this would appeal to the triumphalist Orange men as they stomp around the highways. Them carrots must be a contender.

I live in the SW of England and only manage to get to CP about two or three times
a year, used to have a season ticket which I shared, but since retiring haven’t
been able to afford it. I bought a £75 brick paviour and I subscribe to Celtic TV at
£80 a year. You can only do so much.
Hail! Hail!

Elves speak up too.
Game underway at Firhill. Celtic are
wearing the new home kit. (MH)
Wonder if/what intimidation has been used to silence any appeal from Livingston and Spartans….?
ASonOfDan
Black socks?
Watching the dvd of last season. I cant wait for the Helsinki game.
7 First chance of the match at
Firhill. Watt spins away from his
marker and curls a shot just past
the far post.
9 The hosts reply as former Celt,
O’Donnell, reaches the byline and
cuts the ball back for Elliot, whose
shot is weak and easily saved
Any tipsters out there? Just seen a horse called `Izzy boy’ for the 2:15@Ascot. Aye or naw?
Sorry but what time is ko in Amsterdam?
Sorry Pimpernel, just passing on the official tweets.

Take it you’ll be in jammies by then?!
10 Watt has been a potent threat
on the left. This time he puts a
dangerous low cross in.
Rasmussen’s flick is deflected wide.
I just read that Sevco have not accepted the transfer embargo yet. I do not think they can. It is important that they do not set a precedent or they will be done for the dual contracts. Still a long way to go with this story.
Its made my day having seen whats on offer on Premier Sports today ch. 428 thats my day sorted.

yip..
my larky mate coming down tonight but won’t be drinking as he is working.
11 Entertaining fare so far. At the
other end, Erskine forces Thomson
into a good low save. The resultant
corner is cleared.

Wish I could have made it but family first mate.
Give the old yin a hug for me please.
