Tonight Sevco accepted all outstanding penalties attributable to the SFA membership of soon-to-be-liquidated Rangers. They also agreed that if Rangers are found to have cheated for over a decade by illegally registering players that they will be subject to whatever penalties Rangers would be due, in order to acquire Rangers SFA membership.
Only a week ago Ally McCoist insisted he would not be party to such a deal, it remains to be seen if that they were empty words.
The Scottish Premier League will now continue with its inquiry into the alleged dual-contracts Rangers operated during the Sir David Murray era. I confidently predict the findings will reveal Rangers did not operate within the same rules as every other club, since at least the last century. The former club will be stripped of all league titles and cups. Celtic will be awarded league titles for 2003, 2005, 2009, 2010 and 2011, creating a new Scottish record of 12 consecutive league championship wins.
Sevco will be liable for any punishment due for these years of operating with shadow contracts, the likely severity of which will reflect the enormity of the offence.
Should the First Tier Tribunal find that Rangers evaded paying up to £75m of social taxes, which is explicitly against Fifa and SFA rules, the SFA disciplinary tribunal will punish Sevco, the successor club now due to inherit Rangers SFA membership.
If you are on the receiving end of this, the future will appear daunting. If you stood at Rugby Park, Fir Park, Celtic Park, St Mirren Park or Caledonian Stadium, when Celtic effectively or actually ‘lost’ league titles while observing the rules, the cumulative effects of punishments on a rival are meaningless, you will want trophies awarded to those who were prepared to endure defeat while observing the rules.
One day soon the world will know, you were not paranoid after all!

Charlie just wide from Commons corner.
To qualify earlier comment don’t think Lustig at centre back would work against higher grade opposition (e.g. if we progress to the next round).
One thing Calamity McCoist said that was 100% correct: “I can only imagine Ernie Walker looking down on us now and shaking his head in disbelief.”
There is no doubt that Walker, Graham, Farry and Peat would be/will be disgusted – Calamity knows these staunch Rangers men were prepared to go to any lengths to favour their favourite team. There is ample evidence of these jokers abusing their power over the decades, but the tide is slowly turning and the Huns have to play on a level playing field like the rest of us.
Thinking about it, Calamity is 99% correct … as Walker will surely be looking up from his residence in the Big Bad Fire.
I think this CelticTV commentator is watching the game on a link as bad as mine.
Early days but looking much sharper than previous games.
The smallest crowd I have seen in the new stadium for a 1st team fixture.
A67
Celtic playing well in the opening minutes.
A67
What sort of crowd is there? 20,000?

“The smallest crowd I have seen in the new stadium for a 1st team fixture.”
Must be because Rangers no longer exist.
Chris Commons looking more like his old self again.
Stewards still ejecting bhoys from 111….plus ca change!
Same old with Golum and assistants!

———————
Sparkleghirl I apologise for the pure resignation of my statement this morning.
I had some tasks to carry out and as I thought of my reply to you what a sad day if im prepared to just accept that is the way it is.
So on returning home I emailed my reply to SFA & SPL and stated that I am no longer prepared just to accept their shennanigans and will be on their case(more than I am now) and will fight tooth and nail that they cant just bend & break the rules to suit cheat fc.
, I think the upcoming international game is a perfect opportunity (copyright RTC poster the other day) to show The SFA in particular Ogilvie that honest fans wont put up with it anymore, by not turning up at hampden v Australia in august.
Rant over :)))))
Looking better. Just need to be more clinical in front of goal.
Tims playing great.
A67
Good angled shot by Stokes, blocked by keeper, playing well.
So far so good Celts.
Sami looking hungry…
I believe that “Alister eat the Pasties” will use their rightful punishment as a cowardly excuse to do a runner like all the rest of the scumbags. They deserve all they’re going to get as long as the powers that be stand up for themselves and don’t let bullying cowards intimidate them the way thy’ve done down through history.
“THE WORM HAS TURNED”
HAIL! HAIL!…
Good covering Sami
Bleedin hell the Green Brigade are loud.
Unlucky Joe…
Commons, Sammi, Hooper, Ledley all looking v sharp.
