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.

The Mayans predicted it :2012….Hunageddon!
I know I’m being daft,but no dafter than the so-called ‘reporting’ in the MSM around one of the biggest financial ( never mind football ) scandals to hit Scotland.

What I don’t understand is that keeping staff on after 14 days, which is today, they will have a claim for unfair dismissal, albeit they will have to get in line with the rest, something is just no right.
Unless they are going to liquidate very soon and it matters not a jot.
See there are a few BBad fans on here have watched the four seasons and thoroughly enjoyed them. So you know this years season,will be the last.
P67 – thanks, looking good especially for an Apple user
BRTH – excellent cajoling….well done….a big credit tick in St Peter’s Big Book!
Hen1rik – not a peep from Msr Platini – what the heck do football administrators do all day?

Hail Hail Big Dan.
Paul,
Thank good, badly needed by daily fix!!
Excellent new lay out, well done, keep up your great work.
First day in weeks that I had to work all day, don’t go down again.
Hail, Hail!
mighty tim
welcome
Ghod Bless Vanessa
600 an hour is more like it
mighty tim-
Nobody else took the liberty, so despite references to jelly and ice-cream, it leaves me in doubt that you are obviously a hun.
Clyde seem to find a lot of tims who want the huns to survive.
Paul,
I quite like the new format but I must say, my staff were wondering why I was so “hands on” today…..running scared because the boss was micro managing for the first time for quite a while. That was due to a wee Lent from CQN!
Hail Hail Gerry
WHOOOOOHOOOOOOOO
just got ma ticket booked fur the final on the old tic web site
Snyde is strange tonight….some very suspect Celtic ‘fans’ phoning in…I,for one,want to see,along with the rest of Europe,Rankers GONE!

They are one in a long line of creditors and they are the last of their worries, so although you are right they don’t care.
I heard today haven’t paid Parks for the bus! He is a Hun so that’s how far their loyalty goes and the charity money, at the moment the administrators don’t care, they are still not paying bills, they will be looked at very seriously very shortly. Seems to me Whyte has played a blinder, albeit he is bonkers!
dawell seems to think that ranjurz fans have paid off the bank!
dalziel ‘…all that’s exciting me is will murderwell catch ranjurz?, ah want excitement!’
who is the half-wit on ssb jim?
Tamstered, where did you get the info about the tickets? I’ve been on to Celticfc but there is not info about the League Cup Final>
You can’t keep a good man, or a good man and his blog, down!
thanks to you Paul and all your little elves for what was undoubtedly a power of work done today to get the new version up.
FYI, I had the same experience with the malware warning, using the latest version of opera, as Bobby Lennox can beat them.
Darnthehairwecare!

The SPL rules and SFA rules will not have changed substantially on this position since substantially since inauguration of SPL. SPL rules were basically those of the old Premier League renamed were appropriate.
Do you have links showing this particular rule came in in 2005?
Not doubting you. Would like to read it for myself.

Cup final tickets went up for sale late this afternoon on the CFC website mate.
Paul… Nice job on the reskin… Very clear and less furniture. Hope you don’t get hurt by the drop in advertising revenue. Fielding a lighter site in the expectation of an avalanche of stories, comments and refreshes perhaps?
Sounds very unlucky and very sore for big Dan… Maybe not the most cultured footballer, but an honest one, and I hope he’s around for raising the flag.
Coorslad,
Yeh I was hoping that’d be fixed! When I refresh a page I’m back up to the top and need to scroll down to find where I read up to… Oh well!

Thanks for the welcome.
San Diego Bhoy like your humour

Says the axe will fall tomorrow.
First time call Jim is a defo plant.
How many Celts have they had on over the last few weeks saying they want them saved?
I think every person I’ve spoken to both Celts and non-Celts want them to get what they deserve.
I’d fine it hard to believe so many misguided Celts actually exist!

Thanks for all that you & the people on this site say & do.

Yes mate I’ll try and catch up with you during my half time smoke :-)
@TheHumanTorpedo: @murphio1888 saying on @kerrydalestreet that meeting scheduled for Ibrox tomorrow when “the axe will fall”
Is that the axe an axe on players or on the club?
