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.

here’s a few tips about how to get on the ‘phone ins:
(You may or not be aware that when you contact a phone-in your firrst contact is withh a researcher, they will ask you what you want to talk about and have a quick chat with you before putting you on hold, this doesn’t mean you will be put through, in fact only a very small number of callers actually get through to the brains trust.)
Don’t appear to have more than one fully functioning brain cell
Do agree with whatever meeja pundit is on the show
Always follow the party line re: the need for a strong ranjurz
Sound as if English isn’t your first language
If you follow these rules your chances of getting through will rocket, however if your mask slips and you start being reasonable, talking sense and appearing to have received an education outwith the dinner school, then be prepared to be cut off!
Ragers players vote against a deferment of wages allegedly
Snyde is driving me insane! We do not NEED RANKERS! SSB has ended now with an upbeat appreciation of The Unclean. Unfuckinbelievable….or maybe not…
Findings of the SFA inquiry into the football club formerly known as Rangers FC.:
1. Rangers FC is in administration.
2. Mr C.Whyte was not a fit and proper person to be a Rangers director.
3. For the good of Scottish football, Rangers must be saved. We call on HMRC to be reasonable.

Just watched Big Dan’s injury there , looked sore, must’ve been as he limped off. When he fractured his cheekbone he didn’t even flinch.
Btw, and I’ll say this quietly “I dont think I like the new format , Paul. Sorry”.
Guess you can’t please everyone.
The axeman cometh!
He’s runner up to wee Tax man but ahead of the big tax man, so that’s not bad going!
Vannesa appeal reaches 500k
Nice to see the site back even though it does look a bit peely wally.
Serious question to the more serious posters on here:
Would fireworks be in bad taste?
I had thought that on the Saturday night after they go into liquidation just a few family and friends, a quiet glass of Champagne and maybe 3 big rockets that do the coloured star-burst. Green White & Gold perhaps?
Would that be considered bad form? Tacky?

REF OPERA –
just for info, I too use opera but for the first time in ages I wasn’t on the site at all yesterday. (blame the wife and season 6 of Supernatural) No warnings for me at this site today, so whatever caused it must be sorted????

Well done to everyone involved with the Vanessa appeal,
THE FANS THAT KEEP GIVING!!
Hail, Hail
axe falling is good no problem with that.however a huge wrecking ball like the flintstones would be amazing.
I had an email on Sunday to tell me that Liverpool were the first team in Britain to qualify for Europe. “Not so”, I replied, “ Celtic qualified yesterday!” Derry City have already been knocked out!
Celtic now have 71 league points which means that we have already qualified for Europe next season since fourth placed St Johnstone cannot achieve that points total even if they were to win all their remaining games. It seems certain that we will win the league and will enter the Champions league at Q3 Champions section where we will be seeded and if successful we will again be seeded in Q4 with a realistic chance of reaching the group stage. If ever there was a need for a successful run in Europe this is it. In the European season 13/14 Scotland are rated 18th (this has already been decided) meaning that the league champions enter Europe at Q2 stage. The following season Scotland may drop to 26th position unless Celtic can rack up some victories in the likely absence or weakened presence of rangers as it is hardly likely that St Johnstone, Motherwell, Dundee Utd etc will cut much ice at that level.
13/14 Scotland 18th 10.250 (07/08) 1.875(08/09) 2.666(09/10) 3.600(10/11) 2.750(11/12)………………….Total21.141
14/15 Scotland 26th …………………. 1.875(08/09) 2.666(09/10) 3.600(10/11) 2.750(11/12) 0.000 (12/13) Total 10.891
Busy times ahead!
Duff n Phelps?
I can’t figure these guys out.
Hand picked by the MBB.
I can’t figure out if that’s good or bad (although probably good for us).
Surely they are accountable, what have D&Ph done (Smudger and Alee don’t count)?
Is the international week and Shagger in a green jersey supposed to induce slmber in everybody?
I want Hector to step in before their next SPL match and decimate their squad.
All those in favour, have a wee spoonful of J&IC.

Just replied to your request.
Hoping for the axe to follow soon, keep having to replenish the wine, champers and jelly and ice cream, needing help to get aft the couch and sleeping with ma iPad!
Nice new clean look Paul.
More discrete, clear, easily read by older, tired eyes late at night.
However. Where is the Link Creator?
Don’t it always seem to go

smartarse Delahun-“so you’ve seen the accounts then have you?”
caller ” have they published them yet?”

jelly and ice cream everywhere!!
Tamstered, got them! Thanks for the heads up.

Big Nan
Can I bring bangers and sparklers?
RFC boss Ally McCoist has just issued a statement saying ”for every FIVE bowls of jelly and ice cream Celtic eat, I’ll eat TEN!”

I hope I speak for everyone on CQN when I say THANK YOU to BRTH for his magical efforts in helping Vanessa reach that unbelievable target.
Proud to share this forum with you.
Big Nan,
“Peely Wally” , describes it perfectly. Prefer things just a wee bit “busier”.
Fireworks in bad taste , absolutely, but then we all need a wee bit of bad taste now and again to remind us of how good we are :-) Go for it. If you’re near Coatbridge , I’ll keep an eye on the evening sky.
Commiserations to Big Dan.
@Tims in Ohio:
What part of OH are you in mate? We’re forming a CSC down here in Cincinnati/Northern KY. If you’re interested let me know and I’ll get you more info.

I hope the big axe doesn’t fall tomorrow. We would only be able to celebrate every 4 years.

Thanks, missed your post as I was in the ‘queue’ getting my tickets.
Just been onto the CFC ticket page to see if I got a ticket for the LC final, which I have :-)))
Then when you go to buy the ticket there is an overview of Hampden and you have to pick where you want to sit. However there are only 4 Celtic segments out of 32 that have seating available!
How the bloody hell can that be? I don’t believe that 30k of tickets have been bought already.
Is it because there have been a lot of people paid the £100 odds for ‘corporate’ ones?

Been a long time since I posted, just haven’t found the time (too busy reading everyone elses comments!)
Anyway, someone asked earlier for the “perfect formula” for Rankers death. Hows about:
RFC+MM+MBB=RFC(ia)=>XRFC
Or perhaps:
RFC+MM=BTC=>MBB(1/HMRC)=>XRFC
Oh the possibilities are almost endless with all the lovely three letter acronyms!

1. I see the ‘threadbare’ rangers first team squad has 32 (Thirty Two!) players.
2. I wonder if there is a link creator on this version of the site? I don’t see one. Any ideas?
3. When I tried to log on to CQN last night I was warned by my AVG security (which
is free and first class by the way) that the site was carrying malware or a virus or some such thing. I did not proceed of course. Am I getting the feeling that the shut down was not planned? Or is my natural Timmy paranoia sensor kicking in with no justification (although it turns out we now have evidence to prove that all those feelings of being cheated were not in fact paranoia! I’m confused – let’s call it Timmy scepticism!)
Good to have you all back .
Stealing from charities (allegedly ), how low can they go.
Surely the charities commission will have something to say on this.
Snake plissen the motherwell game when martin oneil was the manager.we mcdonald scored 2 that afternoon ,killed our hopes of winning the league, ebts didnt cause us to lose , it was the players ,same up at inverness last season the players again cost us the title not E B Ts ,so just have the balls to come on here and say them teams wereto blame,and dont look for excuses to blame everyone else for us losing them titles
Delighted to have been allocated a League Cup Final ticket, just booked it there. But what a con with the add-on charges. Over £8 in combined internet/postal charges.
