SFA finally acknowledge Rangers EBT issue

1494

Stewart Regan today gave a welcome update on the SFA’s on-going investigation into Rangers.  In response to Hugh Adam’s comments in today’s Daily Mail, Regan said:

“We are, however, aware of the most recent allegations made against Rangers FC today by a former director of the club. We shall investigate this matter thoroughly before making any further comment.”

SFA president, Campell Ogilvie, was general secretary and director of Rangers from 1978 until 2005. News broke about HMRC’s dispute over Rangers Employment Benefit Trust in 2010, you knew then, I knew then, the SFA knew then, but Ogilvie was subsequently elevated to the role of SFA president in 2011.  He is still on the SFA board.

We have waited almost two years the hear the SFA would investigate this matter. Now, with all the old certainties crumbling down around them, they realise they must act.

Can I be the first to congratulate Dundee FC on winning the Scottish Cup in 2003.

  1. Well it looks like the fat lady has finally sung!!! What is going to happen when they go away?? CQN just wont be the same!!! Funny that they are going to support Dunfermline in a few weeks they may as well buy a season while thier, there!!

    ssn-reagan when asked if olgivies position was untenable “not proper to comment until investigition concludes”=hes dead wood!!!!

     

     

    sooooo HAPPY HH

  3. I like the idea of giving tickets to opposition clubs for free. When I was going to matches in the 80s Aberdeen Hibs and Hearts brought a decent amount of fans and made for a great atmosphere.

  5. Blimey, one busy day at work and three articles pass me by! Fantastic reading through them though.

  6. Bhoys,

     

    As I live in Cork and somewhat out of the loop can someone please tell me what the jelly n ice cream reference is about,its really starting to wreck my head.

    Well it looks like there may not be any 3.6 million in the accounts of Craig Whytes solicitors as they may themselves be in financial trouble.It does seem that we are looking at this whole Rangers situation folding like a pack of cards.While we Celtic fans are impatient to see the end of the Cheating Rangers they are going going to fold I have no doubt of that its just a matter in my opinion of when.H.H.

  8. how long have we to hold our breath for…im struggling here.

     

     

    wedding anniversary party gallagate tonight….

     

     

    could it be a double celebration?

    Excellent article once again – please keep up the good work holding these numpties to account!

     

     

    However being a bit pedantic – I have to disagree about Dundee

     

    The huns cheated them without doubt but they should never have been allowed to progress to the final as the first team they played that year in the cup were cheated first!

     

     

    The leagues can be rectified by changing all their games to Huncheaters 0 Good Guys 3. Then the points can be totalled up to see would would have won

     

    The cups represent a bigger mess and will probably need to be voided in the years that the cheats “won”

     

    Even in the years they didn’t they effectively cheated other teams of chances to progress and perhaps earn money and European places and more money

     

     

    They have wrecked havoc with the game of football in Scotland and Europe

     

    This mess could bring the game here to an end

     

     

    Apologies if somone has posted this before

    Just in case they die today and i don’t get the chance again….

     

     

    Stupid huns, hehehe.

  13. I think we all agree that the huns are in the shite and we are all more than pleased about that.But hey lets turn our thoughts to the game tomorrow against our fellow hun haters.Wee Graigie (not whyte but brown)for whatever reason was voted manager of the month in january ahead of oor Lenny so for that reason it should be a close game(on paper that is).I just hope we do not get complacent and think all we have to do is turn up.Lets really put the pressure on the mob from Ipox before they take on the minis later on.4..0 will do

    ‘Bhoys,

    ????

     

     

    Over here jelly and ice cream is a dish commonly served at children’s parties. I suspect it’s much the same in Cork.

     

     

    For some years there’s been a song doing the rounds about how people are going to celebrate Thatchers death, an event that probably won’t go unremarked in Cork. The song recounts how people will celebrate said event by indulging in various activities, one of which is eating jelly and ice cream. Here’s the Green Brigade singing it

     

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvzjB-lX4Is

     

     

    In the folk tradition Celtic fans have adapted the song to refer to the demise of der hun.

     

     

    And that, mo chara, is why we sing about jelly and ice cream.

    More when I can, indeed. We’re looking out our paper hats and party poppers!

     

     

    What I want to know is did someone pull all the incriminating paperwork of tax dodging/econd contracts out of Ibrokes before the shredding company sent their heavy team in yesterday?

     

     

    Follow the money.

     

    Oh I forgot there isn’t any.
