Contrary to our earlier understanding, Rangers did not win a ruling from the Court of Session on who was to be appointed administrator, HMRC and Rangers came to agreement on the appointment of Duff and Phelps, who acted for Whyte during his takeover of the club.
The admission by Duff and Phelps that today’s court action by HM Revenue and Customs was in connection to circa £9m unpaid tax accrued since the takeover in May last year will come as a surprise no one in the Celtic Quick News community. This is why Rangers are now in administration, it’s nothing to do with the big tax case, or indeed, the wee tax case.
Key question is, what will HMRC do now? They’re not going away/. Rangers continued to sign football players despite being delinquent with taxes, and briefed journalists that they rejected a £9m offer for a player on 31 August 2011.
The fact that the business is in administration due to activity carried out under Craig Whyte’s tenure may also interest the Insolvency Service, who are already investigating Whyte’s takeover of the club following information passed by former chairman, Alastair Johnston.

there is an icon of celtic football club who lost the prime of his career due to being shackled by david murrays fantasy football game at glasgow rangers.
that man now lives in australia and i raise a glass to him tonight…his name is paul mcstay.
paul mcstay showed incredible loyalty to celtic during a period in which rangers fc decided to embark upon a spending spree that has now PROVED to be totally beyond their means.
history has been shaped[in rangers favour] in an illegal and distorted manner.
rangers current plight [no matter what the big tax case outcome will be] has been accumilating and hidden for almost 20 years by murray.
they have cheated all their scottish rivals and robbed players like ‘mcstay’ of ever playing champions league football because they basically spent money that nobody else [including celtic] could hope to match.
this disgrace will prove to go back way further than people think.
i do believe that all their titles in the last 20 years should be stripped out of sporting integrity.
i hope paul mcstay amongst many others is having a moment of solace tonight.
This advert was recently uncovered on a wall in ancient Rome near the Colosseum. See “the People” getting humped regularly by the Lions from Lisbon. Best seats in the house – Ticketus Toutus.
….still laffin’…….
Quite an amazing transformation by the officials in the Barca game, seems without the huns or Celtic involved they are no bad at their jobs.
Funny that…..

Not illegal to trade while insolvent if its done with the intention to get the business back in good financial standing. What it is illegal to do is to trade while knowing or ought to have known that there was no hope of avoiding liquidation.
In this case the director(s) can be held personally liable.
Imagine he gets his £18m back and HMRC pursue for fraudulent trading, this will go straight back to other creditors

Well folks, the day we had all predicted has come to pass.
And in true Chicago style, it’s a St Valentine’s Day Massacre.
Paul67 deserves immense kudos as the founding father of a new kind of Celtic media. CQN was the first, and IMHO the best site for intelligent debate about football in general and our beloved Celtic.
It bypassed the MSM, who stand tonight utterly utterly discredited. And it spawned successful specialist imitators like RTC.
After today, Scottish football, the Scottish sports media, and maybe even Scotland itself will never be the same…
(BTW, My first season as a regular, pay my own way season ticket holder was Hampden. Who knew, as we stood there watching a series of below-average Rod Stewart impersonators, that this day would come!)
The daddy bear tax case, the baby bear tax case and, now, the mammy bear tax case.
What a story.
Two things went wrong with the cunning plan Whyte had when he took over. Firstly Sally got them put out of not one but two European competitions. That meant a big reduction in income to keep them going until the Big Tax Case could be decided.
And secondly the Big Tax Case was adjourned meaning they had to try to survive for longer.
It was never going to work.

Would Celtic have a better chance of admission to the English Leagues should we have no baggage from the other side of the city ?

ASonOfDan, I believe they also owe Dunfermline money, being the tickets they sold for the away end at their recent game.
The Trouble of Rangers
Rangers are troubled
United with grief
To win trophy’s aplenty
And now marked as a thief
When the shit happened
They were not fore warned
As the Laptop Loyal
Stayed riven and shorn
But what of the future
Of the loyal true blues
It’s goodnight Vienna
From the national news.

TIME FOR MCCANN TO BE BACK AND UNFURL THE FLAG
THE WHOLE MAIN STAND UNFURL A BANNER WITH A PICTURE MCANN WITH A CIGAR:
“A FIVER IS ALL IT TOOK DAVID”
MAKE THE BANNER FOR IBROX.
Paul 67
Someone suggested last night that we should ask that Fergus McCann be invited to unfurl the league flag at the start of next season.
Is there any way we can petition the Celtic board to allow this. I think we would all like to say a very big thank you to Fergus.
ASonofDan
Add owing Dunfermline to the list. That disnae include the pies WFPLG ate.

I wanted to see how the SPL looks like and scotprem.com says:
“We are currently experiencing an increase in traffic to http://www.scotprem.com and as a result the website is currently unavailable. Please see below our recent press statement related to Rangers FC in administration”
Sun 25 March. Oh please keep enough players to play this match
Praecepta
BBC and players agent say he hasn’t been signed or registered, so ‘ratified” might the first rule they break?
i.e. you can’t sign any players whilst in administration.
No Income Tax, No VAT, No Money Back, No RFC, Green and Whyte on the Ibrox Door, its Gonny be an ASDA Store.
