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!

The interesting parts for me in all of this licence debacle is that charlie and the bhoys have somehow passed the fit and proper persons test, regan is quoted as saying he has seen the business model, if charlie and the bhoys have a business model that can not only maintain zombie fc in its current state, but can ensure it flourishes than he/they are financial geniuses and a job surely awaits them at the International Monetary Fund
Someone should tell Green we have had the same company number throughout. A slight name change does not mean a new company. For a guy who boasted he had raised billions in his life time he is not too bright.
Only days left for Sevco to have that £30 Million they promised.
Stupid huns…
CHE 0854
I’m willing to bet that without major funds from a viable source,their business plan will resemble that of Bernie Madoff.

I think the Regan and co are just desperate to get the Sky deal signed
I’m sure Sky will build in contingencies but that won’t be Regan et al’s problem

Green get away with these nonsense utterances because of a compliant media
If CFC made such stupid comment we’d be hounded by all and sundry

the best laid plans wont matter a jot IF the FTT and EBT outcomes are as we hope.
………..Have the Zamundan synchronised baton twirlers made their entrance yet?
Hasnt taken the guy Green long to pander to the Hun support . He now realises his best season ticket pitch is to put the boot into us and exploit their pathological hatred of all things Tim.
A stinging response to this inane drivel from PL. and the CFC board is required highlighting they are a dead club and the 140 years of the oldco should be consigned to the annals of infamy for their sectarian and corrupt practices .
Green statement is a last throw of the dice. Oldco. And newco are dead and so is public tolerance of their antiquated and bigoted ways.
The long war is over , they are dead and buried and they should be treated with the contempt they deserve.
God help the residents of wee Brechin on Sunday, the Neanderthals , the same tribe who wrecked Barcelona, Newcastle , Birmingham and Manchester are in town spewing their bile.
God help them!
Always someone elses fault with the huns.
Enjoy your trip to Brechin ya nuggets…
Right,off to the boozer.
I hope everyone who is going enjoys today’s game.
Nae fa’in’ oot afterwards if it disnae all go to plan,please.
Just remember that today’s opposition played their own part in the downfall of the huns,simply by being on the receiving end of one of the finest teams in history.
25/5/67,the day it all began to go wrong for Rangers.
Not a mere ten months ago,as some fat tw@t seems to believe.
See ya,folks!

Agree ….but that won’t be Regans fault ….
Morning. I just watched last nights opening ceremony again. Danny Boyle’s a genius. Ticked all the right boxes politically for me anyway. I’m 50 so it was the soundtrack to my life so far. Really well done!! Looking forward to today’s game. Read Moistys comments today. he is out of control and someone is going to get hurt because of him. HH.
BOBBY MURDOCH’S…
Grazie!
Have a nice day, ye hear!
HH!!
Hungover just read what McCoist is saying in DR help
PFayr on 28 July, 2012 at 09:05
Wont he have had his severance package by then?
Che
I won’t be surprised if he scuttles back down south ASAP
I would now expect a league restructuring package that will minimise Sevco’s time in the lower divisions to 2 years. Whether its 2 x 14 team league SPL1 & SPL2 (current SPL, Div 1, top 5 from Div 2 and Div 3 champions), or whether the SFA step in and disband/amalgamate the SPL/SFL into a new structure, it’ll be sold as the brave new world for Scottish football. The reality is that its another shabby little backroom deal for the benefit of one team and a TV deal that is killing our game.
….PFayr on 28 July, 2012 at 08:53
Fair play PF. Hopefully you’ll come to your senses regardless of what Der Hunnes say or do.

Ach, he knows that. But he has to placate the hordes, especially having caved in yesterday. There will be more than a few who would rather have not had a licence than to give in to what they see as Celtic imposed conditions.
Enjoy it. We won and there is more to come
Sannabhoy, would you remind me of your Kano email addy please?

Do I hear the sound of a crashing bottle?
can’t get the image of sauraman and grima wormtongue out of my head when i think of green and mcmoist. They both slot in nicely to the ethos of that club.
Anyway, we’ve got bigger fish to fry, a CL qualifier and an SPL campaign kicking off next week to start our quest for 13 in a row…….sitting in with the murderwell fans behind the goal that day, might not seem so bad when we’re awarded the trophy for that season.
GOOD LUCK to midfield maestro and his family today. His dad is going to be involved in a veterans of Lisbon lap of honour at half time ( he’s 88 ). hope he enjoys his experience.

Had the sfa did there job as they would with ANY other club . Had the rags called it as it is , then this whole scenario would have been ended ages ago . Me, i would love to see the day i can pick up a red top again and read the back pages written by people who have no agenda against our club . AS for the SFA/SPL, for scottish football to regain any resemblance of credability the people who played ANY part in not administering there OWN rules , the people who connived to keep this club afloat should be hunted out of office , they are obviously not going willingly, so they must be replaced by men with honesty and integrity , with men for whom the game comes first . Somehow, and sadly i dont think they are ready for burial yet .

Couldn’t have put it better. I´m not in Olympic mood and expected to sneer at it all they way through but thought it was fantastic. Superb choice of music and bizarre enough to keep me enthralled.
Someone tweeted last night:
Ross Douglas @RPD1989
Danny Boyle has taught me an important lessons: if you keep piling on the WTF, it goes through baffling and into amazing.
and it was indeed both baffling and amazing.
Danny Boyle you’re a genius.
Beram Kayal@beramangela
I am not going to play today…!!!
He sounds taken aback.
…consider for a minute what the reaction in scoddland would be if Neil had ventured into the territory that the Binman is going into now………..?
Black and bllody headlines…………..
Summits…..
Questions in Parliament…..
National Guard ( ‘Heroes’) called out…….
Crows flying backwards………………….
I’m not surprised that he is being facilitated by the usual outlet either………it can’t belong before we hear from Chick…..
Shameful.
ernie lynch on 28 July, 2012 at 09:21
dunno about that Ernie. Regardless of what the huns get up to, I think he’ll buy when push comes to shove.
Doubt PF will actively dissuade anyone else from buying a season ticket again, put it that way.
London Olympics 2012 —- Opening Ceremony .
The good lady from Padova fell asleep somewhere near the beginning of the parade of the athletes . She surfaced as the man who inflicted such greats as the Mull of Kintyre and The Frog chorus on the world was murdering one of his own choons .
Her —– ” Is that Ringo Lennon ? ”
Me —– ” No, that is Paul McCartney ”
Her —— ” he looks like a mummy – the Beatles were OK but I preferred The Procol Harum and The Knights in White Satin ”
Me — [ confused by The Knights in White Satin }-” Who ? ”
Her ——- ” No — they were too English and way too noisy for me ”
Fortunately she went back to sleep.
Today’s game ? — Inter do play friendlies – they will gladly settle for a next to no physical contact 0-0 and ninety minutes of trying out this and that –but – If Celtic want a physical game , Inter will give Celtic a physical game.. Inter are a class above Ajax
Scottish fitba —— a corrupt cheating disgrace . Old Co history being passed to Sevco ? Shameful !. Celtic —— say something now or forever hold your tongue .
Work done for the day — heading for a beach with an Inter supporting bar .. Bags are packed and ready to go . Will stuff my face with my grapes and my watermelon .[ both real good this year ]
Mid 30s hot -way down south .
Morning Celts
Paul67 a belter of an article, save that one for you’re childrens, children……
and the Glasgow Celtic will be there,
Watched Olympics last night (pretty damned good as these things go) so only catching up with posts from yesterday so although a long time has passed just want to endorse…corkcelt on 27 July, 2012 at 22:39

I doubt very much if we would have been extended the courtesy of a transfer of membership by the SFA.
Utterly corrupt, spin doctoring over the announcement.
Interesting as to whether CG comments about our complicated structure could be seen to reflect on our openness / honesty and also may adversely affect our share price
A simple retort along the following lines. ” CFC has noted statements in the media in relation to our company structure past and present. To re -assure our fans, employees, suppliers and shareholders , we re- iterate that Celtic has an unbroken 125 year history under a single company, and that our current corporate structure , far from being complex, conforms to modern business models. Furthermore, our financial Position is healthy and is set out clearly in our annual accounts. We hope to bring further success on the sporting front with our participation in the Champions League and SPL , whilst playing our part as a socially responsible employer in Glasgow. We value you continued support and look forward to a sporting league campaign this season”
Enough girfup in that statement for now
Morning all from North Ayrshire. Bright and breezy one minute; wet and windy the next. Summer in Scotland.
Woke up to McCoist saying he “despairs” of the SFA. (Should that have been SPL?) What world does he inhabit or is he one of those who might be heading for the Bar L?
Anyone share this notion with me: we need to run down debt to nil over the next three years?
Has anyone from the SFA come out with a definitive answer on whether Sevco inherit Rangers history?
Will Sevco be allowed to call themselves Rangers or do they need to officially be called something else (eg Airdrieonians became Airdrie United)
Can Sevco wear the same strip with same badge that Rangers wore on their strip?
ht-you got mail.
EKBhoy
I totally concur with that statement……..spot on.
The very fact that Green and other huns go on about our history, merely confirms that they know their history has gone. And in a last desperate act, they do the ‘drowning man’, grasping at our ankles to drag us down with them. Sad barstewards who dont know the meaning of the word dignity and neither does McCoist. Can anyone remember what Alistair made the papers for about 15 years ago? I can.
hh
Kayal33,
Airdrieonians did not become Airdrie United.
Airdrieonians were liquidated, they no longer exist.
Clydebank became Airdrie United.
