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.

Whilst I agree with the calls for Fergus to be welcomed back to CP and given the proper recognition for what he did for us – may I suggest that the mum and dad of Reamonn Gormley be invited to unfurl the flag for the great work that young lad did in such a short life. He epitomised everything that this club and it’s fans are about.

While i totally agree with your sentiments regarding Reamonn i think that we owe Fergus big time and the unfurling of the flag next season should be done by him alone. Just my opinion.
Can we start one of those online petitions to give Craig Whyte a knighthood?
anything pre-1998 negates their 9 in a row.
I hate to see anyone lose their job but that horrible wee kit man would be nice.

Agreeing with your Reamonn’s mum and dad idea,your old man’s
pal’s ,wish old James could have seen this.
I hope the ensuing scandal has an affect on the SFAs power within FIFA as much as UEFA

It’s Gonna Work Out Fine
Tim Malone Will Tell,
Or a petition to get a debate in parliament?
Lubo.
Craig MacFaoitigh (Whyte) you can come on home now bhoy, Maith thú agus go raibh maith agat
of course pointing out that celtic fc have DIRECTLY been shafted by this over many many seasons is just churlish behaviour and ‘old firm tit for tat’.
why is this not getting pointed out more,why.???
its not as ‘hugh keevins’ likes to say ‘hypothetical’ anymore….its becoming FACT.
this is not your ‘normal’ league as the english media are telling us all in a completely patronising manner at the moment.
celtic have been denied millions of pounds by what appears to by criminal activity.
i hope celtic fc address this issue strongly ….never mind 10pts deduction in a league season they where about to lose handsomly anyway.
some serious revision HAS to take place….celtic managers have lost their jobs and reputation because of this rangers money stealing situation.
I WANT ACTION NOW….ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY!
Minis losing 1-0 with 6mins to go!
i can’t wait to see neil lennon with th SPL trophy…………
3-1 messi
When the disgraced cheating Newco are readmitted to the SPL;
I would love it if Celtic told them to get stuffed and joined the English league.
Could that be the position Celtic take? A once in a lifetime opportunity.
Lubo.
whats awe this aboot “jelly”?

Totally agree, FMcC always struck me as a man who was really uncomfortable in the limelight, he’s the sort of person who would agree 100% that ordinary supporters should fly the flag. (Remember, when he was booed it was him inviting John Stein’s widow to do the honours).

Yeah – can’t argue with you. Good that we are discussing who we should get to do it rather than wondering if we will have a title to celebrate.
TSOAL
like it.
Perhaps a track from her album: Break every Rule.
If they still have a DJ.
Been saying this for ages: Italian scandal about to hit. Nine in a row erased ?
Trevor Steven deal to Marseille and back ? suspect as well as a few others ?
Genuine football question
Is Messi the greatest player of all time ?
Beginning to think he might be.

Great idea. When was the last time we did one of these on-line petitions?
This 10 league point deduction is bad for Rangers, luckily they “had it in the bag before Halloween”

Lubo – sadly I suspect that you might actually get your wish – I can feel another Alex Salmond ‘summit’ coming on.
Any truth in the rumour that Super Ally is actually busy working in the kit room – unpicking the 5 stars off the shirts?
….has anyone yet seen a cracked crest?
it seems we only merit one when we lose pre-season friendlies.
