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!

What a goal! Peach of a strike from a skinny… well fitter looking Commons! Training ground free kick, Mulgrew picked out Commons lurking at the corner of the box who let the ball bounce then volleyed a lob over the keeper’s head.
Is it just me or does Lustig look like a decent CH?
Brilliant Celtic!!!
Love the tackling Celtic; looks like this means something…
Celtic players looking extremely hungry today,,,something that has been lacking throughout Pre-Season so far,,,nice to see!!!

IF Commons is right mentally and fully fit, he is our most effective player.
He can do things out of the ordinary which few of our players can.
He has spectacular goals in his locker and I hope he moves forward and returns to the player we first got when he signed.
He is looking the part again.
Excellent first half performance. Looking a lot sharper and hungrier. Passing and tacking well.
Inter look like they’re not up to speed.
Well played Celts…
Team playing well, credit where credit is due..
Excellent goal from Commons. Glad to see the team playing in white socks. I presume it is because Inter are wearing black ones. Still, I would rather we wore the white ones.
Inter Quick News in meltdown…
Carlo Garganese @carlogarganese
Inter close to full strength here – does not bode well. A lack of pace throughout team, Milito too slow to be lone forward away from home
Sounds vaguely familiar..
Helstinki….?
Paaaah !
COYBIG
Top Corner
Nice one …cheers ..
Getting a result today would be good,,,but for me the performance is the thing that has pleased me most so far,this should be the template for our season at home and in Europe,high tempo football,as soon as we lose the ball get it back as soon as!!!
HH
inter should be worried about their form. havent scored a goal against celtic. its as well they dont have to face a champions league qualifier…
what happens if celtic win here. what will be the arguments of neg anon ernie lynch, kev jungle sydney tim etc.
wanyama look like a classy centre mid worthy of the interest from the sides reportedly ready to bid for him

Thought Commons was looking back to his best towards the end of last season, and he made the no.10 position his own. Looks like he’s continued his revival – here’s hoping he shows some of that against Helsinki.
Snake
Saw your post the last day
Chin up fella
Concerned that neither Brown, nor more worryingly Kayal, are in the squad today. Any word?
H-T 1-0 quite happy with the performance so far, although we’re probably ahead of Inter in pre-season prep.
Freezing up in 408….!

Kris Commons goal for those who haven’t seen it..
Scouse Tims @PackieBonnerCSC
From Bonfigli on @huddleboard – what a goal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wd0DbI8s4As
Sounds like celtic are playing well today. Thanks for the updates guys.
How is hooper doing?
Don’t suppose any news on Stokesey has filtered through?
Up over goal
When Commons is in the mood he is a real weapon for us.

I’m ok now. Yesterday was a bit of a mad one – too many 12 degree Beers.
It was a big celebration for me. A period of my life has now passed and I can thankfully move on.
I got a phone call from a former student of mine an absolutely lovely girl (who is 28 in case anyone thinks this dodgy) who wants me to travel up to Zilina to see her.
It seems slightly strange but it might be the beginning of something special – here is hoping and if you knew her you’d be looking forward to Friday I can guarantee.

I see Mo Bangura is wearing Mikael Lustig’s lucky alice band from last season.

Best of luck pal
That and with the demise of the stinkies and hopefully a CL run for the hoops ….futures bright …green and white
Just so we know..
tictactic @tic_tac_tic
Just to clarify, this is Inter’s 8th and final pre-season friendly, and like us have a European fixture looming this week
Hooper passing well but not making those runs of his. Mulgrew looking composed.
