None of you will be surprised at today’s opinion from the Court of Session in Edinburgh that Rangers’ deal with Ticketus cannot be set aside, despite some absolutely pitiful reporting to the contrary. It’s fine to get things wrong every now and then, we all get Duff information on occasion, but please….
It’s worth recording, Ticketus may only have paid £20m + vat but the tickets they own are worth in the region of £40m. High risk investments require a high return.
Rangers’ administrators argued that the deal inhibited their ability to rescue the company but the heroic Blue Knights submitted a bid accommodating Ticketus, undermining the administrators’ argument. If only the Blue Knights were in a position to strike a deal with Craig Whyte they could be regarded as helping the situation instead of being hapless fools.
Next up is HMRC, who have not capitulated and agreed to accept a few pennies in the pound. They have not agreed to accept anything less than all monies owed. Soon after that we will hear that no court has been able to set aside Craig Whyte’s security over Ibrox. The most underappreciated man no longer in Scotland remains the only person with a reasonable chance of phoenix-ing Rangers.
The first 26,000 (approx.) tickets sold to each Rangers game for the next three years are owned by Ticketus. In the event a phoenix occurs, Rangers will have to revert back to budgets from their glory days of the 1950s – we will soon be told this is a great omen.
If you are going to Ibrox on Sunday, take care and enjoy your visit. Take photographs of the occasion and send them in, we’ll perhaps use them on a future edition of CQN Magazine. It may prove to be the end of an era.

Nice to see alphabetical order on the ‘otherwise’ equal scores though.
Continuing in the right direction – 8th, woo-hoo!

As my blogging name is usually blogged back at me in random order, I will tonight be posting as “Bears that are set free”

I am but a humble conduit of witticisms and fine lyrics not the lyricist himself but they are really good imo.

Just to be sure try Are Bears Free Set That?
Palacio67,
had many a good night in ye olde st werburgs, if its still called the same
20 years ago mind you
Cannonball Ki must play on Sunday.
Of all the young starlets in the squad, there is no one like him.
I have said long and weary, he is a £30m man in the future. World class playmakers do not come cheap. He is the Korean Pirlo or Xabi Alonso, an outrageous talent who can dictate the game on Sunday with Vic and Broonie around him.
Let him go Lennie, control possession and the thugs will have no answer.

Ya cheat. I demand an independent enquiry.
celticrollercoaster is off emailing HT the next round of answers!!
Rocket Man try Apollo 11
The ‘SCOTLANDS SHAME’ banner is the best footie banner, ever.
As Roy Walker would say ” just say what you see”.
It will take some beating.

Did you get my mail?

The delay in the tax case was due to more materiał evidence that had to be considered that was last year. Since then it is still on schedule. Not due until mid April.
HH
Or Aaron Aardvark?
Just in case the couple of ‘digs’ at the quiz are genuine as opposed to humerous, the Friday Night Quiz has been running for well over a year now and is an integral part of CQN life. The quizmasters, particularkly CRC, clearly put in a lot of effort each week to prepare for this and I for one am grateful for their time and effort. Even though most weeks I’m rubbish!
On with the quiz!
Thats all.

I posted just before kick-off to tell you where in the club to find me. I saw some people who were evidently from the wedding party and got talking to a few, but it turned out the men were either from Devon or Canada. There were guys in kilts. You sound too polite to have been one of them.
Hurry up HT we are all waiting on you!

I think it may well be, I noticed the signage when walking around the Bowling green.
Loved the Statue, seemed to comfort me a little after the result.

Used to be a supporters bus runnin from the catholic club, not sure if it still does. Wish I could remember some of the names… shameful… was very friendly with a few English tims there
