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!

I read that yesterday ..initially thought it was a wind up
Disingenuous , dangerous buffoon
According to Green Celtic have been liquidated 3 times. I never knew that…
…PFayr
You are correct. The huns should relocate to Italy – they could play their home matches at a renovated Colosseum! As an arena it has seen many acts of violence and brutality – the huns would feel right at home there!
HH!!

You can just imagine some of the Uncle Tom Celtic types he’s bumped into.
PFayr “I’ll no be buying my season ticket Ally!”
Re the EBT , dual contracts investigation
Seems very straightforward to me ..Harper McLeod have already confirmed there is a prima facie case …some considerable time ago ..
Deliberate delay …shameful behaviour
Can they not just apply their own rules

Thanks for the info,Mr Johnny-on-the-spot!
That wee bit of education you had in my home town clearly wasn’t wasted,haha.
Have the family arrived yet?
Foxy
Mannerless wretch
Perhaps you can meet up with the CQN bhoys one day , I’ll come along and we can discuss supporting CFC , buying season tickets and attending games
That’s assuming your an ST holder and a supporter
Happy to meet you rather than have you continuing with this pathetic attempt at Internet harassment
Continue …even

I think we are into extra time and penalties with this farce!
PF Ayr 0815
I note the lack of punctuation at the end of your last sentence.
Not having a dig,btw,not with a legal type,not after yesterday’s wee contretemps with Philvis,haha.
I merely ask-was it a question,or a simple statement,uttered with no little exasperation and weariness?
Can you just imagine the outcry if Neil Lennon had gave that interview. He should be banned for the entire season.
How many times will he get away with instigating death threats?
They still owe millions to other clubs and he moans about prize money!
Stupid, Fat hun!
ASonOfDan
Green , the MSM, etc have been attempting to plug this line for some time
You’d be surprised how many of them are happy to believe it
On happier note, well done Danny Boyle. Last night spectacularly redefined Britishness as vibrant creative energetic artistic humorous and anarchic. Brunel, shakespeare, the Beatles the sex pistols dizee rascal Tim Berners lee mr bean chariots of fire Morris dancing the queen lesbian kissing the NHS and Doreen Lawrence… Awesome achievement!
So you can now transfer SFA membership from a club in administration to a new entity only weeks old? Hmmm.
Does this negate the need for a ‘fit and proper person test’, business plan and disclosure of funding and interests in the new business?
The prospect of a debt free hun in the SPL in 2 or 3 years still exists. Compared to the normal requirements for SFA membership imposed on all other applicants it would appear they have gained some ground.
Remember, the need for three years accounts would mean at least 5 to 6 years before SPL promotion and almost certainly the closure of ibrox stadium.
This is all about keeping the doors open and maintaining continuity for their brand and it stinks.

BOBBY MURDOCH’S…
If you are ever stuck for any useless and irrelevant information I’m your mhan!
The nuns at the ould school certainly drummed it into us – often with the aid of the old leather ‘strap’! Bloody hell – I can still feel my fingers burning!
Talking of Fiorentina – remember being at the match in 1970: EC Quarter Final first leg – 3-0 to us. In the Jungle in the company of some bampots from the ould school! Oh happy days/daze!!
HH!!

Have I got names mixed up? Ok correct me if I’m wrong. Apologies in advance. Did you not say you weren’t going to renew a season ticket?
Tom
Faulks is one of my favs …I read Human Traces on holiday …lengthy but very well written and an excellent story
BMCUWP
probably both ..:-) …trying to use this iPad …trying being the word
Confirmation that last nights Olympic Games Opening Ceremony cost the tax payer £27 million, some would say that is an incredible waste of public monies, and they may well be right of course, pales into insignificance when you consider that £27m is about a third of the debt owed to HMRC by a zombie football club.
Foxy
As I said happy to meet you to discuss
Up for it ?
I don’t understand the reaction to the fat insidious one’s recent outburst.
He is an in bred hun.
That’s their normal behaviour.
Same as bummer broon.
I think they might be related.
Posting form a bright Stonehaven.
Where is the ‘phoenix Celtic’ comment from C.Green coming from?

BOBBY MURDOCH’S…
Family arrive on Wednesday – hope they let me watch the game!
HH!!

Ah,the nuns….
I remember,a few years back,having an animated discussion with a Belfast lad who was over on a holiday,and couldn’t believe that a UFH like myself was in the,ahem,company.
When I told him that not only was there the occasional Tim in town,there was also a convent and a Priest’s Seminary.
“What the @$£+ are they doing here”,he exclaimed.
“Missionary work,”I replied….
Philbhoy – It’s just the beginning! on 28 July, 2012 at 08:36
Phil hes playing to the unwashed, circle the wagons, no one likes us, no surrender, well fight them on the beaches, (of ayr) gonny buy a season book,
the hordes on fuhrer fuhrer will fall for it of course, his day is coming, their day is coming, their pitiful excuse for a clubs day is coming, and the best of all is
fat sally knows it.
Philbhoy
We know he’s a clown
However his utterances are a beacon for the billy boys at the moment
His veiled threats and disingenuous comment is dangerous ….these bams can’t behave themselves
PFayr on 28 July, 2012 at 08:35
Are you renewing your season ticket or not?
Once again, apologies if I’ve got your name mixed up with someone else.
What did Green say anyone any links.
Svotspatfan… Rangers tv. He mentioned that Celtic had three names in history and a convoluted structure of ownership. Totally outrageous comments dragged straight from follow follow. Celtic need to respond…
Can someone C&P the joint statement and CG statement please?
MWD
pfAyr –
Human Traces is superb, and I doff my cap to you for including it as holiday reading, but if you like Faulks, you must read Birdsong. There is a very moving passage about the entire first team of Hearts being in the trenches. It is by far his best work.
TALLYBHOY
Hope they bring some skwerr slice,or they can sling thur hook!
I hope you have a lovely time,mate.
Take care…..
“I think everyone knows that it’s Rangers that are playing at Ibrox whether its owned by company A or company B. “Our main rivals – or our former main rivals – across the city they have had three different companies in their lifespan. “In fact if you look at their corporate structure now it’s more complicatedvthan Rangers’ is. “So it’s not about an individual or a corporate company with a registrationvnumber. This is Rangers and will always be Rangers.”

Wee Fergus changed the name when he took over CFC …a very simple administrative procedure
Apparently that means that our position is the same as the Huns ..
Utter nonsense ….just another pathetic attempt to retain their miserable history
ASonOfDan on 28 July, 2012 at 08:44
and Hector rubs his hands gleefully, turns to the other creditors and says…”we may get some of our cash back after all”
Saturday comes.

I’ve read most a Faulks’ stuff …I’ve read the Birdsong trilogy, Engleby, On Green Dolphin Street &A Week In December
As I said I’m a big fan
Re Birdsong the part of the book when he’s mining in the trenches…terrifying
Wonderful writer
They must be realy hurting at Sevco, so what is their response?
Fat Sally more or less blames Celtic and Green makes out we have went through the same liquidation process.
Good way to deflect attention away from the fact they caved in and agreed to all the demands and the stupid Huns will fall for it.
We have not got involved once in their situation but it is all the Fenians in this country fault.
One Nation…

I have two STs and not yet decided ..I’m away next weekend so no hurry
I am paying to attend the HJK game , you going ?
