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!

Expulsion …what else is appropriate for systematically cheating for ten years
ernie- we can only assume and trust that HMRC and other creditors are watching them like a hawk.

any laptop experts out there? going to buy the missus a laptop,on a tight budget.
would like advice on the brands to stay away from. its pretty much for everyday and work use…no gaming or anything…

Not sure how you define ‘tight budget’ but I’m tyipng this on a 3-day old laptop that I acquired in Comet for, I think, £379 (£200 off). It’s an Asus X73E and has a 17″ screen. I tend not to use it much away from my home so the extra weight isn’t a problem. Pretty impressed so far. Hasn’t yet improved the standard of my CQN contributions though!

Great article btw
Brilliant news……………..Em!! is it no a wee bit embarrassing keeping the word “rangers” as it is a word associated with cheating, but hey im not a billy im a tim.

Charles Green on rangersTV –
“Rangers is debt-free and no club in Scotland is in that position.”
Can you believe the cheek of stating something like that as a massive positive, considering how they achieved that financial status. Some other clubs in Scotland can’t claim that position largely because oldco didn’t pay their transfer debts!
I despair.
Mr Green, do you claim Rangers history for your new club?
Yes, we are Rangers. We have won trophies.
OK, let’s talk about the money that Rangers owes me.
Rangers? We are not Rangers.

It’s a pity you need a dvd player. The netbooks are brilliant. Just got my girl an Asus machine. Brilliant.
I think that dvd’s will be obsolete shortly. Everything will be stored via memory sticks.
The 13.3″ size is the ideal size for using in the living room.

Not sure :)) but if they win its a different team that goes into 2nd round draw??????????

Apparently Sevco are now debt free according to CG!
His investors must have changed the 8% interest loan they ‘invested’ in the club, to an actual real investment and they are now being re-paid through a dividend. Still, it will be all be clear when we see the accounts.
Anyway how ‘tight’ are the football rules, the way the SFA are behaving , I suspect that they have already worked out a method of keeping them in the league , even when found guilty of the dual contracts.
It will run along the lines of , quite simply , remove the badge , change the strip, change the name, loose the history and we cannot punish you. All the changes actually implemented will be very minor but enough to see them saved.
I doubt if we would have been extended the same courtesy.

I asked this yesterday, missed the reply if there was one
If a different team goes forward, are the players cup-tied?
EK bhoy
The removal of the name, badge and history will destroy most Huns
If the SFA insisted on the above then I’d be satisfied it’s this half baked accommodation of them that’s doing my head in
Still a great lead article the next day, and no matter how MSM missreport the facts, they are still facts.
Sevco 5088 still have to carry the can, they couldn’t get a licence without accepting the potential consequences.
Happy with that for the moment.

Very confusing!!
Just a reminder that it’s a 1.30 kick off today. Early lunch then off to see the Champions play.

Thanks for the heads up . Read it . Classic lazy journalism . It simply rehashes close season stuff from the Italian fitba papers .
4 to watch -if they play –
Philippe Coutinho
Rodrigo Palacio
Alfred Duncan
Marko Livaja.
Will watch the game in a beach bar . The only serious watchers will be me and a few Inter die hards .

Ouch :-)))
All supporters and most particularly those of Sevco Scotland will be re-assured by the SFL statement that
The Scottish FA has received all necessary information and documentation from Sevco Scotland Ltd, including details of the company structure, shareholders, financial projections and business plan.
This obviously implies that the SFA have conducted a rigorous examination of the detail and by dint of having issued a temporary membership consider those involved to be “fit and proper and that they have the finances to fulfil fixtures.
No wriggle room should that not be the case.
EKBhoy/PFAyr – The liquidators and insolvency law may make this necessary anyway. They may not permit newco to trade off the goodwill and brand of a liquidated company. Claiming the strip, badge and history is exactly that.
The badge in particular is clearly protected intellectual property owned by and representative of the liquidated oldco, I don’t see how they can use it.

How many are expected to make it to the match ?
I see China just won the first gold medal of the olympics, well done

Don’t think he’ll make the game today though.

How long have they cheated ?
They won’t give a damn about a new badge or slight change in name. Hell, they somehow collectively contrived to lie to themselves and each other for so long.
Hollow half-men, with no shame.
Deep down they know Oldco was a cheating sham, that’s why so many of them are hate-filled and angry.
