Talk of trebles can disappear over the space of 90 minutes, and Ronny Deila will be forced to learn new patter if his team cannot regain the edge which was lost on Wednesday night at Celtic Park. The challenge will be all the greater for the absence of cup-tied Stuart Armstrong and Gary Mackay-Steven, with others, including Kris Commons and Emilio Izaguirre.
Dundee United have fallen apart in the last few weeks, the departure of Armstrong and Mack-Steven has probably had something to do with this, which means they will be hurting. Make no mistake, Celtic harmed their season by signing their best two players five weeks ago. United will have an edge to them.
Just loving the celebrations that one of the world’s richest 400 people no longer controls a Scottish football club. He still controls pretty much all profitable revenue streams, and holds security over assets, but he’ll no longer be asked to provide loan players, or loan cash. They have swapped an ‘off the radar’ wealthy man for a glib and shameless liar.
Ashley repulsed many. He was the archetypal fox let into the Ibrox hen house. The juxtaposition of Celtic announcing a £29m shirt deal with New Balance, rights Ashley bartered for £1 at Ibrox, gives you an idea of how impaired newco are. But allowing him to walk off with all those revenue streams, without the responsibility of running football operations, which will always lose money, is inexplicable.
I know people in the game who were concerned about having an opponent with the resources of Ashley. That blocking SFA decision was crucial. I don’t know anyone concerned about King, in fact, there is quiet delight at how things transpired.
Farewell Big Mike, thanks for all your work.

It’s great they now have real Rangers men like Dave King and Paul Murray on board now, unlike some of the people at the old club that allowed the club to accumulate unsustainable debt, like, er, Dave King and er, Paul Murray…..???
Tallybhoy
I did :-))
Spotlight now on Regan and Co at the SFA.
How on earth can he or Paul Murray be judged ‘fit and proper’
Greenpinta
A favour and from Ashleys perspective it is worthwhile financially.Billionaires only care about making money. See DD.

That’s the funny bit, he hasn’t been outmaneuvered, if he’d wanted Sevco he’d have taken them, instead of taking them to the cleaners.
Nothing that happened today has changed MA interests.
FC Porto are about to do it again. Another player is about to go for bg money. People talk about an Atlantic league but Porto and Benfica don’t need it. Surely their scouts are sought after?

Cause they’re Huns ….nothing else matters
Houston wants McLeish! Hahahaha. Pleeeeaaasssseee….
Do’nt what put this in my head, whatever happened the “journo” who used to be David Leggat? H H Hebcelt
Do’nt know
The SFA board will ratify Dave King.
HH
With all today’s joyous celebration in the world of Sevco, which judge or person at the SFA would dare to rule King or Murray unfit? They have families, jobs and homes to think about. The path will be cleared without a shadow of doubt.

Only in Sevco land can they find a convicted fraudster more palatable than an international business man
I think they’re in for hefty dose of …….be careful what you wish for
=========================================
I’m not sure, after listening and reading, that many Huns actually know what a billionaire is.
I’m not sure the general Orc hordes understand the term.
I guess ‘thousandaire’ or ‘millionaire’ they can relate to.
Tell them there’s a billionaire lined up to salvage their wreck of a club and you’d be as well telling them there’s a theoretical physicist cleaning the windaes.
They got what they deserved – their old board back, minus Minty.
BSR
Correct
Huns now have the man with no plan and no intention of spending his own money in charge
And ….MA …who has them by the shorts and curlies
I hope we’re never as bad off as to find events like today something to cheer ….

You legal eagles know everything!

nakasammi. They have bent and broken rules for years and been getting away with it why should it be any different now ? H.H.
Dave King is skelly-eyed !

Ashley will be the saviour along with King. Never underestimate the stupidity of Old Firm fans.

Wee Chick sounding affy happy. Have St Mirren signed Messi….?
Oh my sides!!! Some tearfull zombie on SSB just described today like the Wizard of OZ going from black and white into colour…… insert your own jokes about flying monkeys!
the Huns …God Bless them ….they just keep on keeping on…..braw ….
Copraphagia, an attribute to be admired?…………..seems like only yesterday I first had that brawish thought aboot the afflicted………..
the more things change …the more they stay the same …hehehehehe stupid stupid Huns ……
win win win for MASH with the Cash….

The GSLs eyes are scarey, not a jot of emotion in them, perfect for the world he operates in.

Seen this from a TSFM poster earlier ,till later all.
Let the rejoicing begin! A convicted criminal now holds the keys to the Big Hoose! What can possibly go wrong?
====================================================================
“If King is finacially successful – Ashley rakes in cash for zero work
If King burns all his cash to keep his dream alive – see above
If King persuades RRM to burn all their cash to keep his dream alive – see above
If King fails – Ashley can force Admin at his conveninece and buy the body parts for buttons to make a new FrankenRangers.
If King gets too aggressive – see above
So, remind me, who won today’s EGM” ?
Awe Naw. I agree with you but for me that should end Scottish football as it will be conclusive proof in my opinion that Scottish football is corrupt.Why would anyone want to spend there hard earned cash propping up a structure that is only there to ensure the establishment club get back to the top and pick up honours ? H.H.
Tallybhoy
Me too, saw them at the Apollo, supporting Jethro Tull circa 1969/70 – fantastic gig!
HH
Not one.
Not one of the Scottish pres spack asked King the ‘M’ word.
M for’monkey’?
No, M for ‘MONEY’.
Not a single question about money, where his is, or where it will come from.
Pussies.
King has a plan to resurrect Sevco. The plan is to spend other people’s money.
No one with any sense will give him their money.
Ergo the plan is doomed to failure.
His body language yesterday spoke volumes; he looked seriously worried.

It’s the rangers fans I feel sorry for:))) naw stoap laughing I really do:))
That’s right Yogi – Raith did something you couldn’t do – win at Ibrox. Then again their manager didn’t build up the opposition, saying how Scottish football needed a “strong Rangers (sic)” and how the sooner they were back ( sic) in the top league the better. Maybe Raith’s players weren’t scared of them.
Dave King = Dig Knave
Down the sofa for change!

the poster is right on the money….what a braw braw time to be what we are….the carnival is not over,not by a long long way………….hehehehehehehe
awfy braw…
Is that Fatboy Traynor I seen there with the liar co ?
Has he told them the club died ?.
adi_dasler
Traynor was rewarded with his own PR company Level5, for keeping quiet about goings on at the ” Laundrette” in Govan, IMHO
So.
Do you feel the fear? Are you anxious? You should be, according to the MSM and the absolutely barmy army of Orcs currently necking the Stella. Why?
Cos Raaaaiiinnnn-juuuurzzzzz are back!
I am more staggered, than anything. Staggered that 2 of the men who presided over the liquidation of their club – one of whom has a criminal record as long as your arm – are being hailed as the saviours of the new entity.
And staggered that the man they have chased away is a genuine billionaire with an unparalleled record of making money from tat.
King’s early statements betray a stunning lack of class. He comes across as an arrogant moron.
One can only imagine how Ashley will react to these provocations.
We’ll find out soon enough I guess…
