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.

If Lustig is playing today, perhaps Charlie will be in midfield? With Brown and Ki missing it is possible. Come on the Celts!
(Aberdeen undefeated since Christmas eve.)
Hector, I was listening last night, with great glee :)

you’ll probably get your wish. It might just take the Big Hoose getting boarded up with To Let (I really want to put an i in that) signs in Edmiston Drive for it finally to drop.

Your everyday ordinary rabid orange hun is predictable. Dangerous…..but predictable.
It follow follows from their triumphal yet limited mindset.
Little do they know that they are led by the nose from birth. Pawns in the establishment policy of divide and rule and they don’t even know it.

It wasn’t an empty offer. The couple of hundred RGT’s who pledged via my phone and IP address really will Follow Follow through for RA rANGERs.

Where have you been?

Hoping to do the harbour cruise.
I believe there`s big demand,not surprisingly.
FFS, let it go about Zheng Zhi.
He’s ineligible, probably Lawwell’s fault.

Paul,
Maybe I missed this over all the excitement of recent weeks, but here’s
a wee gem in today’s Daily Mail.
“It is believed that Rangers (in administration-I added this) outsourced their tax and legal advice to
the Murray Group for an annual fee in the region of £500,000”
Now this is in an article by Stephen McGowan who has clearly
had an off-the-record briefing from your pal, Campbell Ogilvy, who
is pleading ignorance of all guilt. I imagine Ogilvy gave McGowan this
intelligence on another example of Moonbeams ripping off The People.
This is a theme you have
Good Morning from a very wet NE Scotland. Celtic to keep winning but i think it will be close. Any news on our squad and line up?
DontPatMaDug
Zeng Zi has an important roll.
He makes the Chinese Green Tea at halftime.
:-)))
MWD
I meant Che. In my last post.
MWD
Sorry, Paul, I-pad problem,
A theme you have highlighted down the years; how much Minty has
taken out of Mordor while claiming he’s invested millions.
If I were a Rangers ( in administration) fan, I’d be furious. Permanently,
I guess
MWD
What? Chinese Green Che?

How would these two auld fellas feel if a newco huns was allowed straight into the SPL?
——————————————–
Was offline for a few hours there ernie – sorry for the delay in response.
First up, whatever the outcome, newco or no, Division 3 or not there is a lot of fun to be had, a lot of quiet satisfaction watching the trials and tribulations of The Others.
The outcome will be what the outcome will be. I think most of us suspect that they will be back in some form. But there is the very real possibility that Rangers as we know them will cease to exist. That they may return as ‘newco’ will not change that. Yes, the neanderthals that follow follow them will follow follow the Newco. But that Newco will have to comply with a new scene. One where they cannot do what their predecessors did.
Yes, the press will likely be in their pockets but one thing I have taken from this process is the fact that a compliant press for rangers has not helped them. In fact it helped to kill them by denying there were problems.
Let us enjoy the carnage and take it from there.
If the changes are confirmed it will be to freshen things up after international week.
C’mon the Hoops.
Every football fan should be careful in Scotland today – whether at or on their way too or from a ground, or in a pub where a game is onw, even if they are not watching it.
Hopefully the police in Aberdeen and Glasgow will not spend today answering emails and phone calls complaining about “offensive” chants and songs heard over TV or radio.
The police have an impossible task dealing with the new Act inside the ground – never mind the undoubted flood of contact from keen eared listeners.
Anyone arrested should expect to spend the weekend locked in a police cell for court on Monday. (and there is no comeback if the police lift the wrong person, as long as they don’t act maliciously).

Spot on Robert, What ever will happen will happen and they will be weakened one way or another. Fed up speculating and what if ing. 3pts today is how i roll. fresh team by the looks if the early team news is right.
KLV
The tax dodgers I assume will play Lee Wallace today? And Hearts the diet dodgers will allow them .. Dunfermline have cash flow issues.. Because they did not get paid ..
Burnley etc etc..
This IS WHY we must not relent in our efforts to highlight the scandals all over the place re FOD..
They try to walk all over people with their bombastic jingoistic puffed out arrogant chests..
Come on the Celts and HMRC and even Craig Whyte… Let’s liquidate the big house forever..
Celtic today 3-0

Rangers chasing club owner Craig Whyte for up to £9m.
Is that called chasing your tail?
So the some and substance of the Daily Record article is that Paul Murray hopes to raise a million a month to avoid players leaving and keep them going until the BTC.
Message for MR Traynor – You are not addressing the BTC or the x years of cheating that will soon see Rangers obliterated. Complicit in their demise and as bad as david Murray.
Has Mr Traynor got an offshore account and has he ever tapped anyones phone?
Ciao tutti—–
Lovely spring day way down south.
Today’s Fitba Pink [ Italy’s biggest selling newspaper ] tells me that Rangers Glasgow are dying . It also states that Scottish fitba will not survive that death..
Looks like the Administrators are hanging on in the hope of finding someone who is daft enough to buy. If they don’t – Liquidation looms.. Visions of dysentery come to mind.
Amidst it all I wonder if anyone is investigating the degree to which Minty ripped off his ” beloved Rangers”. Treated like a cash cow and left with the debt . A succulent double whammy..
Off to sow some seeds -way down south.

Silence from The Captain of Industry
The silence coming out of Charlotte Square is deafening
What’s happened to the charismatic,outspoken Captain of Industry who rode the crest of a wave on the good ship Rangers?
Whilst Captain Schettino of the Costa Concordia languishes at home under house arrest,our errant ex Captain appears to have fallen into his lifeboat and sailed into the sunset without a backward look
The more the whole Whyte saga unravels, the more our ex Captain appears to be guilty of at best criminal negligence,at worse, a criminal financial conspiracy
The pain being inflicted on our club and supporters is close to unbearable with every dawn inflicting new and more damaging revelations upon OUR CLUB
Our ex Captains silence is damning
May he rot in hell

Re: Silence from The Captain of Industry
Here, here.
He’s a ****ing sub-human failure. A man who gambled with what wasnt his and lost what is dear to millions of people. He’s a dog-eared cither. An empty suit jacket.
I concur, rot in hell murray you fungus.
Looking forward to the Aberdeen game, which will have the added atraction of seeing a couple of the new bhoys in action.
Celtic were given a rough deal with the 12:00 Saturday KO with so many players getting back from international duty.
LBut, like so ofter in the past, we’ll get on with it.
Not making any predictions about the score, but if the MIBs behave themselves, there is no reason to expect anything other than 3pts.
Here’s a random thought concerning our “neighbours” (by some miracle there are still hanging around)…
Regarding the “charity” match planned later this month against AC Milan, I wonder how many of the RFC IA legneds were actually beneficiaries of dodgy wage deals?
The whiter-than-white Cardigan will set up his usual Wattinaccio from the likes of Swally, Laudrup, Gascoigne, the Flying Pig, Amoruso, Albertz, Mols, Numan, and Gough.
After the game (assuming it goes ahead) it would be fitting if it was these legneds who secured the padlock on the gates of the big hoose for the very last time.
Hail Hail
BT – are you about?
jobo
Good morning BigJoe, so which is it –
Mali, Congo, Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Chad, Togo,
Guinea, Senagal (my favourite), Ivory Coast or Burkina?:-)
In work and unfortunately will have no access to the game today. Will be relying on my fine CQNers to post regular updates. Although i’d almost always go with Hoops and Stokes up front I really think Brozek needs to get some game time. Maybe 45 minutes today!
2-0 to the ghood ghuys!

Yes, I noticed that too from BBC Scotland. Surely it should be more like:
“Admin chasing RFC IA’s Craig Whyte for up to £9m.”
It’s amazing the spin they put on these things to take teh bad look off the rANGERs…
Come on you bhoys in green
Celtic XI: Forster; Lustig, Rogne, K Wilson, Blackman; Forrest, Mulgrew, Ledley, Commons; Hooper & Stokes (TH)
Team
Forster; Lustig, Rogne, K Wilson, Blackman; Forrest, Mulgrew, Ledley, Commons; Hooper & Stokes (TH)
From the official site –
Forster;
Lustig, Rogne, K Wilson, Blackman;
Forrest, Mulgrew, Ledley, Commons;
Hooper & Stokes (TH)
Lustig makes his first start – good to see
Indio
TH – Tony Hamilton I presume
2 new full backs, should be interesting.
