Some clarity………. This morning’s report on football brands, issued by brand management company, Brand Finance, has been hugely misreported. It’s not a list of the world’s richest clubs, but an assessment of the value of their brands. Although this sounds like boring business-speak, your brand is important, it’s how you define your club, what it means to you and to others. It’s something you will never put a price on, but others do.
Celtic are listed 34th most valuable, an improvement on the previous year, despite the lack of Champions League football last season. The usual suspects from England, Spain and Germany dominate the top of the list.
Celtic have been busy redefining their brand in recent seasons. Hosting the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony positioned Celtic Park in a different way, while the on-going improvements around the stadium have lifted the environment enormously.
For a century Celtic were largely defined as part of the ‘Old Firm’, and in some places it still is, but with memories fading of that particular definition, Celtic are increasingly viewed in isolation. A decade ago sponsors were fearful of engaging with one part of the Glasgow divide in case they alienated the other. This is not the case anymore.
Every football club needs a stage, and without regular Champions League football Celtic will struggle to maintain brand value, no matter how good it performs elsewhere.
We have a distinct, positive, heritage, which football fans and other brands alike are keen to associate with, while the Celtic Park match day reputation remains high. And although we take it for granted too often, the legacy benefits Celtic continue to reap from the Lisbon Lions is astonishing. The brand benefits of the club being honoured by Uefa president Michel Platini on Friday, and the whole of Europe reporting Celtic as the first team to do the European Cup, domestic league and cup treble since Barcelona emulated them on Saturday, continue to position Celtic way ahead of where they would otherwise reach.
Try to avoid The Scotsman’s reporting of this story, they’ve horribly confused dollars with pounds, car crash of an article. This item is an interesting backdrop to an article here last week. Protect your brand above all else. Don’t allow an aggrieved third party take control of it.
I strongly predict you’ll hear this sentiment later today: ‘It’s not my money that’s going to be used, it’s the fans’ who will cough up’.
It’s early June. You have four months to prepare yourself for the Great Scottish Run. I know there are literally hundreds of you who have ran a 10k, and more who are capable of running/walking one.
Here’s what to do: Sign up for the 10k or half marathon, register with the Celtic Foundation and raise £125. You’ll love it and give yourself lots of motivation over the summer months.
Register here then email the Foundation here cfcfoundation@celticfc.co.uk to tell them you would like to run for them. Let’s get 100 people running for Celtic.

Charlotte Fakeovers? Lord were they happy days. Will we ever see the likes again?
Lest we ever forget to remember – a ‘wee’ reminder borrowed from ScottishLaw…
….Questions over Nimmo-Smith inquiry as leak reveals Rangers given no title-stripping immunity guarantee in secret SPL deal
Call for inquiry statement on revelations of SPL-Rangers immunity deal. As the Rangers FC saga continues, a leak of a document detailing a questionable immunity deal for TRFCL has drawn the attention of the media. Given the legal issues raised by the documents particularly in relation to the independent’ inquiry chaired by Lord Nimmo Smith, a guest report on the revelations by ‘ecojon’ is today published on Scottish Law Reporter.
It should be noted the leaked documents referred to in the article have been published by a resurrected CharllotteFakes2, who has been the subject of previous reports on Scottish Law Reporter relating to on-going investigations by Police Scotland & the Crown Office. The Twitter account known as @charlotteFakes previously reported as deleted, has also been reinstated.
Guest Report : Rangers given no title-stripping guarantee in secret SPL deal by ecojon :
The darkest dirtiest secret in Scottish Football has now been revealed and it will shake the Beautiful Game to its core as well as the Scottish legal system.
Boiled down and stripped of legalese the shameful guarantee states: ‘The SPL hereby undertakes solely and exclusively to Sevco and to no other Person . . . that the SPL shall not . . . take or commence disciplinary proceedings against Sevco . . . in respect of any EBT Payments and Arrangements’.
What is even more incredible is that this deal was struck and distributed with the 5-Way Agreement before Lord Nimmo Smith began his enquiry and before the FTTT announced its verdict on the Rangers tax allegations.
We need clear unequivocal statements by Lord Nimmo Smith and Neil Doncaster and someone, anyone at the SFA who isn’t ‘conflicted’ to reveal the long hidden truth behind the most serious revelation ever to shine daylight on the many dark secrets held in the Hampden bunker.
Many of us have incessantly debated the controversial findings of Lord Nimmo Smith’s Inquiry into Rangers’ EBTs since its release in February this year. There was widespread disbelief at the conclusions and many believed it was just another example of how the scales were weighted in favour of Rangers.
Anyone who has followed my posts will know that I have always supported the integrity of LNS and his two learned colleagues in the sense that the woeful preparation and presentation of the SPL case gave the Tribunal little or no room for manoeuvre in reaching its conclusions. And of course there was the ludicrous intervention of the SFA’s top man in Player Registration which made the name ‘Bryson’ synonymous with ‘clown’ among Scottish Football fans.
On top of that LNS breathed life into the ‘continuing club’ controversy which has fuelled incessant and often bitter internet debate and indeed sparked the recent vicious attacks on Jim Spence and his family and BBC Scotland – once again – by Rangers fans many of whom openly boast they refuse to buy a TV Licence to support an enemy of Rangers.
For months now we have witnessed an outpouring of information from Charlotte Fakes who has risen above early suspicion that her works were indeed clever fakes to the point that no one disputes their authenticity and, indeed, she has allegedly been reported to the Information Commissioner which is probably the best possible guarantee of the authenticity of the documentation she has provided even though her motives are still unclear.
She recently released what appears to be the final draft of the 5-Way Agreement between Oldco Rangers, Newco Rangers, the SFA, SPL and SFL which had important snippets not present in previous versions including a promise by Rangers and a prominent external newco shareholder not to take legal action the SFA, SPL and SFL and their officers and officials.
This was first alluded to in the Rangers AIM Prospectus in December last year but the reasons for the Rangers undertaking have never been clear although the documentation seemed to suggest that Rangers had been wronged in some way and was holding back on justifiable legal action possibly because it felt blackmailed by the threat of total expulsion from Scottish Football if it didn’t agree to the sanctions of the 5-Way Agreement which had originally mooted title-stripping.
One thing that puzzled me when the 5-Way Agreement was revealed was why there had ever been any need by the Scottish Football Authorities to keep it so tightly under wraps. Everything was basically in the open by then in terms of sanctions although there was the curious matter of the no legal action clause.
But yesterday Charlotte Fakes released a brutal hammer blow which will destroy all remnants of tattered credibility in the Hampden suits and, more importantly, cast serious doubt on the integrity of the Scottish legal system which must be urgently dealt with.
So what has Charlotte gone and done? Only release to the world details of the secret and tawdry side deal proposed by the SPL and agreed to by the SFA and SFL to grant immunity to Rangers newco (TRFCL) from any disciplinary action arising out of the use of Rangers EBTs and the failure to annually register the payments involved with the SFA.
This guarantee was made months before the Lord Nimmo Smith Inquiry sat for the first time and even before its Notice of Commission was prepared and it was given even before the FTTT largely ruled in Rangers’ favour over its use of the EBTs.
At this stage we don’t know if Lord Nimmo Smith and his two colleagues were aware of this incredible secret stitch-up between the signatories of the 5-Way Agreement before they heard any evidence or whether they too were kept in the dark by the Scottish Footballing Authorities who have honed their skills as mushroom farmers for decades by feeding BS to Scottish football fans.
What we not only need but deserve is a clear statement by Lord Nimmo Smith on behalf of his tribunal and its decision as to whether he knew before any evidence was given that a secret guarantee of immunity had been given to The Rangers Football Club Ltd. If he did know can he explain why he was prepared to proceed on that basis and help create some of the aggro which is tearing apart the fabric of Scottish Football and poisoning Society with strange and alien concepts of a never-ending always continuing football club which defies liquidation of its legal operating entity and repeatedly and eternally rises intact from the ashes as a company with a brand new legal entity but which isn’t a Phoenix company.
As to the SFA and SPL/SFL now in the persona of the shiny, brand-new SPFL – unless it too takes no responsibility for the deeds of its deid ancestors – what we need is a straight answer to whether the Charlotte Fakes documentation is bona fide and whether it was signed by Neil Doncaster whose name is on the draft and distributed to the SFA and SFL as stated along with the 5-Way Agreement.
And as for the SMSM isn’t it time you actually grew a pair and dealt with the serious allegations raised by the release of the Charlotte Fakes material. Does the public interest count for nothing in Scotland? If you or your editors are frightened of the ‘dirty little secrets’ an aging and failing PR man in crisis has on you then now is the time to be Spartacus and if you can’t manage that at least do a Jim Spence. You don’t need to use the documents if you are scared – all you need to do is ask the questions.
If you are told ‘No Comment’ then publish and be Spartacus and let the public know the truth and make their own judgement on the way Scotland and Scottish Football is run. If you continue to hide behind weak excuses think about moving to PR as that would seem to be your true home and there will be no crisis of conscience as none exists there as far as representing commercial non-ethical clients.
However be assured that if you cower in a dark corner, close your eyes and dream of being a Twitter Warrior then your readers will continue to judge your inability to tell the truth and turn, in ever increasing numbers, to the internet for their news albeit with many imperfections but at least with lots of people trying to prevent the truth being choked by a surfeit of succulent lamb.
And Lord Nimmo Smith as probably your staunchest supporter since your tribunal decision was issued I think I am entitled to ask another question on behalf of the much-respected poster Auldheid who truly has the wisdom of age – as reflected in his moniker – and the energy and perseverance of a young bull elephant when it came to uncovering and revealing the implications of Rangers DOS and the reluctance of all concerned including SMSM to mention it.
I had always thought that this cloak of secrecy was to hide the implications of the Wee Tax Case which should have prevented European entry for Rangers, without the sleight of hand of the Hampden suits. But now I wonder if there was a much darker motive in play as part of the secret immunity for TRFCL.
Quite simply LNS! Were you ever told or given evidence concerning the details of the Rangers Discounted Options Scheme as distinct from their EBT scheme and were you aware of the un-appealed FTTT Decision in the Aberdeen Asset Management(AAM) case concerning DOS schemes which ruled them as illegal under tax laws?
In your tribunal decision you refer to treating the EBT scheme as a continuation of the DOS scheme – cloaked under a suitably confusing name – but did you know that one very senior witness to your enquiry was well aware of the differences and I would find it incredulous that they were unaware of the implications of the AAM FTTT Decision on the Rangers DOS.
And if you weren’t apprised of the differences then it’s over to Neil Doncaster to explain whether this was another dirty secret and if not how did the SPL fail to discover and present absolutely critical evidence re the Rangers DOS which IMO could well have led Lord Nimmo Smith to stripping titles.
Kev.Jungle. In reply to your the Church hides lots of things.All Churches are run by men and all men are sinful so all Churches have there problems however,in scripture it tells us not to judge that will will be done by Jesus at the last judgment. When I attend Church I attend as a sinner as do the rest of the congregation I am looking for healing of my soul.I firmly believe this life is a fore runner to eternal life and each individual must decide where he or she wants to spend that life either with Jesus basking in his love and glory or with satan in the fire of Hell.There are many many bad people both in the church and on the outside but I dont think we should focus our salvation on them we should help them to mend there ways if we can but our priority as Christians is to follow Christ as he teaches us in the scriptures and in the Church.H.H.

So, what ‘scriptures’ was Fergus adhering to when he emptied the bad folk out of Celtic?
Fluck forgiveness.
Do the crime – do the time.
How forgiving was any Celtic supporter of Rangers FC and the SFA for stealing countless £millions and, 22 trophies?
Beautiful morning for a day off and with the kids despatched to school and Mrs Burghbhoy at work have decided to take a wee trip with my Da over the water to Glencraig, Fife to pay our respects to Celtic legend Peter Johnstone.
Peter has had a memorial garden recently opened in his home town.
He played 223 games for Celtic in the historic 6 in a row winning team under Willie Maley.
A versatile player , he played his last game in a 3-2 victory over Clyde in The Glasgow cup final 7/10/16.
He joined the army soon after and was killed in the battle of Arras in France just 7 months later in 16/5/17.
A true Celtic hero if ever there was one.
RIP Peter
KevJungle. Maybe Fergus was following Jesus when he emptied the money changers out of the temple.On how many Celtic supporters were forgiving of Rangers for stealing millions I have no idea but I know hate is not the answer to anything.Kev fella you can point out thousands of bad things in the world and while we should do our best to improve things the important thing is to save our own soul and simply saying the whole world is bad so why should I bother ? the fact is you have little or no control over others but you have full control of where your own soul will spend eternal life.

Is the trick…to believe that it is there?
The way that I see things just now…I’ve got enough to worry about…never mind worrying what will happen to me when I’m dead…..is that selfish?
Would I be selfish if, I pray for others but, dont give a flying feck what happens to me?
That’s where I’m at……but dont worry….coz I dont.

Celtic to miss out on Odegaard loan
REAL Madrid are reportedly happy to send Norwegian starlet Martin Odegaard out on loan next season – but to a Spanish club.
Celtic and Ronny Deila have been tentatively linked with a loan move for the 16-year-old playmaker since he joined Real from Stromsgodset.
But while new boss Rafa Benitez is said to be keen on loaning out Odegaard next season, he is likely to remain in Spain with Real Betis, Villarreal and Malaga all linked with the youngster. (AS)
Guidetti blasts Deila over comments
JOHN Guidetti has launched a scathing attack on Celtic boss Ronny Deila, claiming the Hoops manager said one thing to the striker and another to the Scottish media.
The Swedish forward claimed that Deila ‘said completely different things in the media’, adding that he had been dropped after refusing to agree to a permanent deal.

I’m quite sure you are still as faithful to your team and to your faith as you ever were. Just not happy with their leadership.
Such is life-for sure,I’ve got similar concerns myself! Nothing wrong wi principles. But nothing wrong wi going along to see yer team whilst holding the board in disdain.
I do it a coupla times a season but I’m immediately punished wi banishment to Swindon…
Surely Guidetti isny trying to infer that…Ronny’s a puppet?
Phil Goodlad on BBC Scotland said at 8.27 that Alan McRae would be appointed SFA President today. Is that right? Is ogilvie slipping away?

Hi Bobby.
Yeah, I catch yer drift…went a few times during Neil’s time in charge….main attraction…the wonderful Green Brigade.
I’ve not ben under Ronny’s spell in charge….will try to remedy that.
I’ll need to get to the CQN corner and….especially, speak to Doc….if he’s there to apologize to him in person for being a bit ‘off’ with him on here a couple of times.
Notice how I only specified Doc…..If I had to apologize to all the folk I’ve offended on here, I’d need to get there for nine O’clock in the morning….that would be for an evening kick-off:)
If I had to buy yerself a Guinness for all the duels that we’ve had, I’d be as well putting in a bid for company and handing you the keys:)

sorry
KEVJ
It’s a blog. We can be short with each other and still be pleasant the next time. Most stuff that people argue about on here is a result of passionately held beliefs so disagreements are inevitable.
But when you consider that we all want the best thing for Celtic and we only differ in how to go about it,it’s the same as setting off on a trip by a different route.
See ya at journey’s end. Enjoy yourself along the way. And you’ll L-O-V-E ‘The Coarnir’!

Nahhhh, it’s all smoke & mirrors stuff imho.
Reminds me of when, Kayal was playing brilliant and, Neil tried to get him tied down then…PL interfered and, thepromised contract was delayed…PL, making a fool of both, Neil and Beram to the extent that, Kayal put the tools away and wanted off the pitch at Rugby Park one day. Ye see, PL only went along with the ‘bigging-up’ of Kayal in the hope of getting a bid recieved for the player. Neil made it public that he wanted Kayal tied down and then PL wasnt too keen on the new contract. Just an example of how sour things can go when, a manager(Neil) digs his heels and refuses to be a puppet.
I believe that Neil left for 2 reasons.
1. He wasn’t getting the budget he wanted-needed.
2. The board ‘prostituted’ Celtic Park to the Common Wealth Games and, denied the use of that much needed weapon in CL qualifiers, a packed Celtic Park.
In their greed, to get £5 million from the CWG’s….the boar gambled with a CL-bounty of £20 million and lost. What other company, with shareholders to answer to, wouldn’t have sacked the person who made ‘that’ call?

Adam shakes Ibrox pillars with warning of bankruptcy
Published Date: 02 February 2002
By Glenn gibbons Chief football writer
THERE are licensed premises in Glasgow where the regular patrons will consider the recent deeds and utterances of the former Rangers director, Hugh Adam, to be nothing less than acts of treason.
This should be regarded as a natural, almost understandable, reaction from immovably devoted supporters of the Ibrox club to the decision by Adam to unload his 59,000 shares in Rangers on the basis that they were heading towards worthlessness, thanks to the unsatisfactory business methods of the chairman, David Murray.
Almost certainly viewed as an even more heinous offence would be Adam’s claim that Celtic are run much more competently and that investment in the Parkhead club would be a much sounder proposition for anyone wishing to purchase shares in a football institution.
It would be tempting for many to dismiss Adam’s action as merely a gratuitous attack on Murray by a disillusioned, 76-year-old ex-employee carrying a grudge. But Adam has been a candid critic of the way Rangers have operated for years, ever willing to voice his unease – indeed, his incomprehension – at losses he has always insisted were unsustainable.
He also has impressive credentials, having been chairman and managing director of Rangers Development and Rangers Pools since 1971, raising the millions which built the modern Ibrox. Adam’s efforts brought the club around £18million, about £60million at today’s values.
To say that his final severance with Ibrox, after three separate terms as a director amounting to about 15 years of service, was done in a fury would be inaccurate, but in conversation this week it became evident that his decision is underpinned by unmistakable disgust.
Not given to sensationalism, this essentially conservative disciple of prudent forward planning and low-risk business principles did, however, cause something of a shock by observing almost matter-of-factly that, if Rangers continue on their present track, their ultimate destination will be bankruptcy.
“That’s the logical conclusion to a strategy that incurs serious loss year on year,” said Adam. “In the past five years – and it’s all there in the last annual report – Rangers have lost £80million.
“Now, the banks are well known for being a bit more tolerant of companies whose core business is a popular pursuit like football. But there is a limit to how far backwards they can bend to accommodate you.
“David Murray has always had an amazing persuasiveness when it comes to getting people to put money into his businesses, but the signs are that those sources have dried up.
“The £40million worth of shares that ENIC (English National Investment Company) bought a few years ago are now worth about £15million, with no evidence to suggest that they will recover. The money itself, that which was actually invested, was lost some time ago.
“Now the latest investor, Dave King from South Africa, will know that his £20million shareholding is worth around half, or even less, of what it was when he bought. No proper businessman will want to buy into that kind of loss.”
ADAM sold 12,000 of his 59,000 shares last year and the balance of 47,000 just recently. For the latter, he got £1.15 each; three years ago, they were valued at £3.45. He is convinced Rangers cannot trade their way out of trouble, unless they gain access to a league that will attract higher-bracket income from TV. He was in favour of the proposed Atlantic League, involving the Old Firm and clubs from Holland, Portugal and other countries, but is extremely sceptical of their chances of joining the English Premiership.
He is adamant that Rangers do not have the customer base to improve their financial standing through merchandising. “Rangers’ so-called global appeal is a myth,” he said. “When I was there, we did an exercise which involved asking 50,000 fans on the database to recommend a friend or a relative abroad.
“A big response was expected – some were even talking about getting 100,000 names – because everybody in Scotland seems to know somebody abroad.
“We got back 2,800 names and three-quarters of them didn’t know they had been nominated. It’s no surprise that Celtic are officially the best-supported football club in North America, with more official clubs than anybody else. The difference is the Irish connection.
“Many Irish people may support Manchester United, Liverpool or whoever, but they all – every one of them – have an affection for Celtic. And, of course, Celtic also have a great Scottish following.
“The difference is that, while the Irish all have an allegiance to Parkhead, there are millions of Scots who not only don’t support Rangers, but actively dislike them.
“Despite the claims of international appeal, Rangers are, essentially, a West of Scotland club. They talk of supporters’ buses leaving from all parts of Scotland, but if you look closely, you’ll see there aren’t many from each area and they are not all full.
“This doesn’t mean that even Celtic will earn fortunes from emigrant supporters. There may be more of them than Rangers fans, but it doesn’t mount to the kind of income necessary to fund their ambitions. But Celtic have been, since Fergus McCann’s arrival, much the better-run club.
“Fergus was the most unjustly maligned man in the history of the game, when you consider that he took the club from bankruptcy into the mainstream and built that stadium along the way.
‘NOW, the Celtic board have more financial heavyweights than Rangers, with people like Brian Quinn, Dermot Desmond and Sir Patrick Sheehy.
“It’s only in the last couple of years that Celtic have sustained losses, but over the five-year period they break even. But Brian Quinn and his board are taking steps to warn people that they are not in the business of heading towards bankruptcy.
“For their pains – for doing their job properly – they get crucified in the media, accused of penny-pinching. I don’t understand it.
“They are determined to keep Celtic properly managed, while Rangers, with Murray, is a one-party state and the man in power has an allergy to any form of personal criticism. But he’s not a businessman in the long-term sense of planning and prudence, he’s more of an impresario.
“But what has been happening is unfair on shareholders, and they’re being short-changed.”

Let’s deal with one thing at a time
Guidetti, if media is correct, he told Celtic he wouldn’t be signing ? All quoting him
If I was Celtic Manager, he would have been removed from the 1st team Squad
Ronny kept him in it and gave him game time
What has that to do with the board and puppets ?
Bream Kayal, I read whilst he was out injured, he was given a new contract, which he thanked Celtic publicly for backing him (same was done with Izzy)
I think we seen he had been a flash in the pan, not prepared to put in effort required playing for Celtic, living on back of a few decent games
I personally think as a central midfielder his game intelligence was poor, positional, reading a game, passing etc, ( was it Bristol he went too ? Wasn’t getting a game there at end of season) he wouldn’t get a game in my Celtic team, and particularly after Kilmarnock, would not have played again in the world famous Green and White hoops
Neil Lennon played him at times when fit
So where is any conflict there ??
Now I disagree with many things in relation to our Board, but unless you can provide facts, it is all conjecture on your part
Good to see you with some positivity towards the Celtic, and potentially attending another game, would avoid that Doc though, he’s a Roaster :-)))
Hail Hail
