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!

Mullet and Co
You obviously missed my post praising PL for some of the signings, the ones you have mentioned as well as Ledely and Mathews
He has also made quite a few bad ones.
I just want him to stick to what he does best and leave the football side of things to the manager.

John Park recos to PL
He trusts him implicitley.
Park also recos the duds
NL has different ideas (at times) shall we say

There is no chance than player who plays as badly as Bangura can get a run in any team
He just doesn’t look like he is anywhere good enough
The Green Brigade are such teases!
Anyway, forget Ajax. Having sat through 90 minutes of a friendly, I’d rather be watching some competative sport. How about Federer v Falla on Beeb 1 or even more exciting Kingussie v Newtonmore on BBC Alba.
That a …even
watched an interview with Bangura before
came across as a nice lad but very shy
couple o goals wee man
that’ll get ye goin
was unlucky at times today esp one whipped across the
box just past his outstretched foot
10-men last 15mins, he was never gonny score
as for Jackson Irvine, he’s been playin DM/CB for the past year
but predominantly DM
not really a CB, in my opinion
terrific to see him make his debut
has a fine driving run and shot on him
well done Jackson
Larrybhoy- I would have preferred Tony Watt in the squad today and Bangura in Belfast getting a start.
We need players to be ready for Wednesday.
PF – one second, quite poor. On Itlaaq in the race which has just started….

Elgin 5-7 Arbroath
That’s how to get the fans back, don’t play goalies.
new article posted.
Lenny: Commons more of a doubt than Stokes.
Key player. Jeez.
I was disappointed today, not with the team, but the support. We must show real support just now. It’ll be needed even more so when the inevitable happens and we are way out in front in the SPL.
So far I’ve seen apathy from many and a lack of direction from the club.
Frustrated to read supporters discuss re-sale value of our most promising players. What are Celtic to be reduced to hucksters ? Suppose it’s inevitable with the apathy and the club seemingly bereft of ideas and purpose.

“Agree with all you say about Gravesen – i watched him at Goodison for Everton and was ecstatic when we signed him.
“Only thing i could say in his mitigation was that his life was apparently unravelling when he was with us, which ended up in some kind of a breakdown after he left us.”
That would explain a lot.
Like you, I was really chuffed when we signed him from Real Madrid, but I quickly realised he was a liability for Celtic – and an expensive one at that.
in May, Inter paid £10mill for big chap Guarin (no14 today)
CL money and prize money gained illegally needs to be factored in to any punishment. Will believe it when I see it.
Hi Ghuys .Someone should tell Green that we were not liquitated 3 times because we’ re still called Celtic, still play in green and white hoops, and still play in our magnificent stadium in Parkhead.
So there

Bangura just will not do.
Along with Juarez , Murphy, and Rasmussen a considerable amount of money has been wasted.
