Do you like our new lightweight template? There’s a lot less green and tons more whyte. Like it or not, the whyte template will be here for a wee while, so try to enjoy it.
Ticket arrangements for our game at Ibrox next month were always going to be tasty. With rumour that Rangers were heading for administration, Celtic refused to forward their rivals tickets for the game on 28 December on credit, demanding payment in advance. Rangers found the money after a failed appeal to the better nature of the Celtic board. This proved to be a wise move as only a few weeks later Rangers were in administration leaving a trail of unpaid debts to other clubs in their wake, but an awkward situation was likely to follow with Rangers (in administration) looking to reciprocate with payment terms.
Celtic are good for the credit, but if they pay for tickets, what’s the chance Rangers will survive long enough to fulfil the fixture?
None of us are in a position to tell, but Celtic cannot sell tickets to their own supporters in the chance that Rangers will not honour them. If Rangers are still in business, I expect a busy few days leading up to the fixture as cash and tickets are transferred.
And to think we’ve listened to all the ‘Old Firm conspiracy’ theories all these years….. didn’t turn out that way after all.
Really pleased to see STV picked up on our story of last week on the potential improper registration of players and managed to get an anonymous quote from the SFA suggesting “that if conclusive evidence can be produced, the Scottish FA could launch a wider investigation into the conduct of the club”.
“Could”! This story has now been reported by several mainstream media outlets. It looks like the SFA will have to be dragged into examining this by Uefa. Embarrassingly, they are likely to conclude an inquiry into Rangers next week without reference to the 10,000lb gorilla (as No Surrender Johnston would say) in the room.
There are now serious questions of corporate governance at the association, something the chief exec was keen to avoid. If the SFA do initiate an inquiry into the multiple contract allegation, they should start by asking some of the guys who have arrived at Ibrox from continental Europe. I hear Joachim Bjorklund, a decent defender who signed his only Rangers contract in 1996, is still working in the game.

Happy Birthday TimsinOhio. How are you settling in there in the land of the Buckeyes. How’s your big mate from the Manu game doing? Is he still there too?

Kojo : I assume that when you say “a shoit”, you mean a shirt as opposed to something that starts with sh and sounds like “Whyte”? :)
Hail Hail

Brilliant news about the Vanessa appeal. Well done all and get well soon wee yin.
Happy Birthday OhioTim.
For the Rangers equation I’ll go for:
RFC + MBB = RFC(IA) + D&P – MBB = H20
Happy Birthday TimsinOhio, only the best were born in 1962 – fine year :-)

knoxy
great news about the wee man….
Oh and a huge thank you to Andrew from Belfast for fixing the internet thingy.
Knoxy,
Great news to hear Oscar is progressing so well. An inspiration to us all.
Lubo.
Great to have the site back. All I was getting was a white page, and assumed a cyber attack had taken place. See Timbhoy2 back on.An Orc. Any Celtic supporter who spells like that and doesn’t know the difference between syntax and tintacks isn’t a Celtic supporter. Hurting, is said Orc.Meanwhile Gaudd has gone somewhere, wherever Gaudds go. NegAnon has been , but for a short while only. Truth (now there’s a misnomer) has been and departed. I don’t think they like the taste of jelly and ice cream.

Lol yes I meant March, very much a typo in my excitement!

Je Suis Neil Lennon,
Happy Birthday! 1960 a vintage year mate!

Thats definitely not Kojo….. reveal yourself imposter!
Re this Jocky Bjorklund 2 contracts rumour.
in 1996/97 Rangers won the league to win 9 in a row. the league table finished as
Rangers 36 25 5 6 85 33 80
Celtic 36 23 6 7 78 32 75
Now just checking the 2 Glasgow derbies at Celtic Park which resulted in two 1-0 wins for Rangers. Bjorklund played in both. If these results were overturned to 3-0 wins for Celtic the league table would now look as
Celtic 36 25 6 5 84 30 81
Rangers 36 23 5 8 83 39 74
Cheerio 9 in a row!

Hopefully that will work. I had downloaded that as well for the “Sausages” but had uninstalled it and it was still giving that search engine.
Good Luck.

Love the new set up, wondered if the green brigade could come up with a banner in the form of a Mass Card for the possible visit to the “big hoose”, this would drive them nuts.
Great news all round, Vanessa appeal, and brilliant to hear Oscar is doing so well, long may this good news continue.
