The Scottish Football League programme is now finished with only play-offs still to complete but there is still a great deal of business to complete. The remarkable persistence of First Division clubs to find a financial model which will allow them to retain full time football shows no sign of ending, despite the difficulties presented from a couple of quarters.
Meanwhile the Third Division champions have even more pressing matters. They have now finished their league programme and can now officially be told what they have perhaps unofficially suspected for some weeks. Charles Green has agreed to remain a director until the end of this month. Before he goes the ownership of Ibrox, as well as the appropriateness of the club’s IPO in December, will need to be established. They have a three week window but nothing happens until the lawyers report, which I expect this week.
It was two years ago today Sir David Murray took a £1 payment and relieved himself of outstanding commitments to Lloyds Banking Group, the legacy of his time at Rangers. The support Craig Whyte received at critical times in the months which followed was breath-taking. Every hack, side-kick, and numpty ‘fan’ who told the rest to set aside all common sense deserve a medal for what they did to that club.
They don’t even understand the mock-worship Celtic fans offer Whyte is a parody on where they were 2011-12.

After a long weekend away from t’internet I was catching up on a few longish posts so forgive me for not remembering which of the excellent pieces suggested that the ‘rangers men’ may need to crash the bus in order for the license to be revoked, which they well then pick up and have a ‘real rangers’ perhaps not even playing at Ibrox fro the time being until that mess is sorted out.
If Murray has been pushed out as reported, I suspect it’s the tipping point, I just can’t decide which direction. Is it to prevent the link between Green and Whyte being formalised leading to the licence being removed or will the opposite occur?
It’s getting more shambolic by the day and I feel like I need to set up one of those big photo walls from a crime drama that links all the key players and their significant actions.
happy birthday Zbysek have a good one.

Dbbia:
Meaning of ‘Deserter’:
(of military personnel) to leave or run away from (service, duty, etc.) with the intention of never returning: Terrified of the approaching battle, he deserted his post just before dawn.
Some men ran from the Irish Emergency deserted boredom and digging peat bogs to fight against mortal Fascism. Unfortunately for some of them they did not pick their war wisely, but none can doubt their bravery. They got paid less to go and fight the Somme or Ypres, and often die horribly, than those who deserted to go and make arms in Birmingham and Coventry without the cultural backlash and the perpetual stigma.
Emergency Powers (No. 362) order. Ireland’s Shame.
