It was theoretically possible someone could have bid for Rangers today but it was always more likely that interim-managers, Duff and Phelps, would get offers that were dependent on a remarkably positive upside.
Sure, if HRMC get their bums handed to them on a plate by the First Tier Tribunal (FTT), Craig Whyte decides to tear up his security on Ibrox and Ticketus forget where they put the contract of sale for the next three years season tickets, even I’d bid for them. Not much, though, I’m only interested in Waitrose Park out at Milngavie.
There is nothing Duff and Phelps can do about the FTT but wait for the verdict. It might report in their favour. If so, it’s game on and they will surely invite offers for sale again, until then, they will have to shuffle paper and look busy.
No one has been able to shift Craig Whyte’s security or offered to buy Ibrox from him, so he is the only real bidder for Rangers and I don’t think he even bid today. Our old friend Game Theory would have us busy planning for a scenario when he exercises his power in this game. Ostracising him might encourage him to walk away, or it might force him to dig his heels in.
Game Theory would also suggest we don’t play poker when we know the other guy has four aces, they don’t often walk away.
Pay the man or find a way of telling yourself he’s not that bad after all.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day from a very sunny Cyprus.
Off out now for a walk around the beautiful Polis Chrysochou bay while singing “Hail Glorious Saint Patrick” at the top of my voice.
That should scare the local wildlife!
Today and by extension tomorrow, Glasgow will be Green and White!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh.

This is going to be a hun free day for me I am not going to think about them or mention them again today, except to say… if you are looking in Oldtim, could you put a tenner on Celtic/ Dundee United to win, obviously a double and a fiver each on celtic to win 5 – 1 and Dundee United to win 5 – 1 and a fiver on the 5 – 1 double.
I’ll square you up if you get this.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day CQNrs.
Glorious morning here in Balmedie. Somehow I’ve managed to have the whole family over here from Derry this weekend (normally I would want to be in Ireland for a weekend such as this if I wasn’t at the game.
Bar, Ireland Rugby match, a hell of a sing song and my brothers birthday celebrations.
Tomorrow the real fun begins :-)
God Bless Neil Lennon

No! No! And thrice No!
However good it would be to live in a 1 team city (PT and QP aren’t really teams) I would never give up our history or any trophies still to be won for that pleasure.
Anyway. It’s a mute point as the stupid Huns are doing it for themselves.
HAPPPY ST PATRICK’s DAY Bhoys & Girls.

kitalba –
Did you know you can place those bets yourself online with various outlets?
I personally use William Hill and have had a fair bit of success recently with correct score bets. You just go in and register, deposit an amount, minimum $20, and place your bets. You get to choose the odds method, eg UK style 5/1, 11/2 etc, or OZ method $5, $7.50 and so on. You can print or save your betting slip. If you have a return, it is automatically credited back into your account.
You can withdraw your balance at any time and it is credited back into your debit or credit card.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all CQN’ers from Ballsbridge, Dublin.
