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.

I’m absolutely loving the revamped site.
Not for the additional Whyte, though that is uncontroversially to be acclaimed, but because for the first time since CQN magazine was introduced I can use the scroll facility on my magic mouse. Mac users had for some mysterious reason been unable to use a mouse to scroll the pages. This was a not insignificant inconvenience truth be told. Now I am whizzing up and down the posts with nowt but a swirl of my middle finger (steady!). Oh, the bliss. Thank you so much.
Furthermore, just as I was beginning to think we were getting a wee bit overwhelmed with banner advertising you go back to basics and chuck them all from the temple. Wow!
To top it all someone mentioned the other day that the huns were going bust (!)…

erm its 18th March amigo and not May, I’m assuming you ken that ? well I hope so, its a big weekend that with St Patricks day on the Sat and Mothers day on the Sunday.

and saint josephs day on the 19th.

Spider Joseph Patrick,
the clues are in the name.
Blantyretim:
I posted this at 21:13, it may explain a bit about the 14 days:
Tomorrow will be a significant day regarding contracts. I am not sure that liquidation will happen tomorrow but I firmly believe it will happen. The thing is with liquidation is that a petition has to be made to the Court to liquidate a Company. If the Court agree to the ‘Winding-Up’ Order, there is usually a period of time before it is effected, so I don’t think liquidation will happen tomorrow.
Back to the question about the contracts. All employees from your Tea-Lady to the Manager, Players etc. are already Creditors. After fourteen days the Administrators have to honour ALL contracts, that is why tomorrow will be significant. If there are no redundancies then, the players that are left on the books will need to have their contracts in full. If they are not honoured any Player/employee would have the right to walk. Rhetorical question but could you see McGregor, Davies, Whittaker staying around if they were not going to be paid what was in their contract.
Tomorrow will be a big day but not necessarily the day they go bust unless they have absolutely no money.
I smell liquid…
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Sorry, Calton not Carlton.

Guys, I have to say how much I have enjoyed reading cqn over the last few weeks. The patter has been great, particularly the night you all had the generosity of heart to pledge vast sums of money to support those less fortunate than yourselves. Just a shame the club won’t survive after all.
After my exile due to technical difficulties, I am as addicted as ever again.
Kojo, good to see you have not lost your gift of the gab!
Cyber jelly and ice cream to you all.

With ref to the scare moungering about SKY deals being cancelled if no Old Firm game x 4 per season, what would be the situation with the likes of Tennents (joint sponsor) should TFOD fail to recover from their vegative state?
Do they have “small print” get out clauses also?
Is anyone else having trouble viewing past page 9 on the blog? On iPhone here and the links to any page past 9 are gone
I dont feel anything for der hun , old, new , mixed up or whatever.
Once they are deided, they will become a thing of the past.
Like the big houses I used to pass at the Ropeworks in the port.
They were big houses, with famous people of their time who lived in them.
Built in the 1860’s through to the 1880’s these were townhouses in a row facing the shore. The owners, the tradesmen, the millionaires of their day.
While the working Irish, the immigrants toiled in the mill, and in the worst lowest jobs in the shipyards, and in bulls close and dardanelles street watched some children grown and some pass away before they were 5.
Trapped, and shunned.
Until Saint Johns was established , and schooling began.
Now, the houses are gone.
No one young knows they were ever there.
I hope thats the fate for the big victorian toilet block , and all its visitors to the crystal palace big house of bigots.
just felt like saying .
jude2005. I must have been about 5 or 6 and it was at the tail end of his Celtic days when I seen him and started to read the green citizen and the pink times on a Saturday night cpt was the headliner most weeks
