The document from Uefa to the Resolution 12 team, which emerged online over the weekend, is genuine. The headline part of this correspondence was always going to be Uefa confirming that whatever errors or omissions on the part of Old Rangers and the SFA’s Uefa vetting process, no further action was possible as New Rangers are a “new club/new company”.
Priceless, I know, but a delightful wee surprise, though it was, the status of Newco Rangers wasn’t the purpose of Resolution 12. Res 12 was about SFA process and accountability.
There was a great deal of correspondence with media figures since the letter was produced. It’s probably worthwhile noting the chronology of correspondence:
Uefa wrote to the Res 12 team on 6 June, copying the SFA and Celtic. After this date Grant Russell at STV asked Uefa for an update and received pretty much the same information that was sent to the Res 12 guys, without the supporting “new club/new company” line.
You may be of the view that after receiving the 6 June letter, the SFA could have asked Uefa not to offer such information in future (the layers of this story are endless). We’ll never know, but the horse had already bolted.
As correspondence on Res 12 continues, the team decided not to attempt private conversations with Uefa while making correspondence public, which is why this leak didn’t come from the Res 12 team. But I’m glad it’s out. It’s the definitive and irrefutable reference point on the status of Newco Rangers, and it’s on Uefa headed notepaper.
I don’t expect I’ll be goaded about Res 12 online as often going forward.
While we’re on the subject of the SFA: Craig Thomson, take a look at yourself. You know this is not good enough. Your decision-making this season has been atrocious. James Forrest booking, for staying several yards away from the crowd after scoring a goal, was ludicrous, capping a multitude of errors this month.
If only people at the SFA were accountable. Which brings us back to the point above.
Getting nervous about tomorrow. So much on the line……

You see it as a disappointment, do you believe that Celtic FC will match monies gather by #MatchTheFineForPalestine
Currently at £71,478 of £80k goal
All in one day, magnificent from the people who denoted to the plight of the persecuted, but proud people of Palestine.
Night Night Braw. HH
Just as easily as it is to smuggle pyros into the ground,as you may well know, get the lassies and the youngest fellas to do it at another entrance which isn’t subject to as much scrutiny
nae pyro debates please
Are you wise in the art of pyro smuggling?

The Grand Mufti of Palestine was a firm supporter of Nazi Germany. Muslims were indeed recruited into the S.S. Balkan Muslims , from memory.
The I.R.A. of the day also had a close association .
That`s all done gone .In the past.
Embarrassing. But done with.
Interesting , but basically irrelevant imho to tomorrow`s game.
Or it should be , but the whole issue is now fair game to be rehashed .
Under no circumstances should the name of Celtic be associated with either side in the Palestinian conflict .
The perception now is that Celtic F.C. are supporters of the Palestinians .
We know that`s not the case , but that will be the perception.
I wonder how the Scottish Jewish community will view this particularly sad own goal.

Love a bit of late night history.
Lehi (Hebrew pronunciation: [ˈleχi]; Hebrew: לח”י – לוחמי חרות ישראל Lohamei Herut Israel – Lehi, “Fighters for the Freedom of Israel – Lehi”), often known pejoratively as the Stern Gang,[9][10][11][12] was a Zionist paramilitary organization founded by Avraham (“Yair”) Stern in Mandatory Palestine.[13][14] Its avowed aim was to evict the British authorities from Palestine by resort to force, allowing unrestricted immigration of Jews and the formation of a Jewish state, a ‘new totalitarian Hebrew republic’.[15] It was initially called the National Military Organization in Israel,[1] upon being founded in August 1940, but was renamed Lehi one month later.[16]
Lehi split from the Irgun militant group in 1940 in order to continue fighting the British during World War II. Lehi initially sought an alliance with Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, offering to fight alongside them against the British in return for the transfer of all Jews from Nazi-occupied Europe to Palestine.[2] Believing that Nazi Germany was a lesser enemy of the Jews than Britain, Lehi twice attempted to form an alliance with the Nazis.[2] During World War II it declared that it would establish a Jewish state based upon “nationalist and totalitarian principles”.
Aye, back in the day smuggling the occasional 200 or 400 fags back from Benidorm gave me the expert knowledge, and an expert tax dodger to boot
But not as accomplished as the smugglers from the GSoA

Well done ghirls and bhoys…
Awfy braw
I have been on this site for an awful long time but I don’t think I have ever seen such a disgusting use of the blog as tonight. We had one poster who on a number of occasions posted the most blatant of Israeli black propaganda. The sole purpose of these black arts is to discredit charity organisations working in the Palestine territories. To sew distrust. So people will hesitate to give. So people will stop giving.
When people stop giving the poor will just have to suffer it for a lot longer and that is the reality. If somebody dies , so what.
This club and it’s supporters have always prided ourselves on the charitable aspects of not only our history but also of our present.
to find this poison being propagated on a Celtic site sickens me . I think I need a break from this place.

Good man Mick.
Tell them nothing.
To date the PLCs interest in statements doesn’t go beyond their Bank Statement.
Macjay,
The first line of your post at 12.57am breaks Godwin’s Law.
That renders your post invalid and you have lost the debate:))

Please try and follow them:)

I don’t know how well wiki are versed in the black art but I refer you to their entry regarding Hamas,particularly the Funding and Finance section of the same entry. I know it won’t change your mind but it does come up with some interesting figures

Here’s a reminder, enjoy your day and the match later.

Anyone got a link to Celtic FC and the condemnation of the flag protest?
#MatchTheFineForPalestine stands currently at: £73,400 of £80k goal
We’ll have hit 100k before kick off tomorrow evening and once tucked safely into the Champions League pot it will skyrocket again.
Seeing the BBC News on TV aren’t touching it with a barge-pole.
Who do they think they are kidding, someone should tell them that we have the internet these days.
