When Duff and Phelps put their initial deadline in place for bidders for Rangers back in March, Celtic Quick News took the view that Craig Whyte was the only show in town and that any successful bid for the company’s assets would have to come from him or his proxy.
We didn’t know who his proxy would be then and we are still not sure – although we could have a pretty good guess.
Place the current SPL and SFA dramas aside for a moment. If a deal is done to allow a Rangers-Newco to apply to play football next season the new ‘owner’ will be a Craig Whyte appointment.
If this unfolds in the days to come, I fully expect the SFA will take a very long time to consider any Fit and Proper questions, and I expect the SPL board will vote 4-1 to allocate a share in the league to the Newco.
Celtic, united with their own fans, and fans of the Gang of 10 clubs stand in one corner. The boards of the Gang of 10 want Rangers-Newco money too much to object. Don’t even count on Newco being subject to the penalties discussed at yesterday’s meeting.
A CQN’er is raising funds for the Wellburn Care Home in Dundee. Run by the Little Sisters of the Poor, Welburn offers incredible residential support for those in need in the Dundee area. It is only a viable concern through the dedication of the sisters and volunteers and fundraising initiatives such as sales of work, coffee mornings etc.
You can support their work by bidding for a Celtic top signed by the first team squad at this eBay auction. Your help is greatly appreciated.

3. Huns to get 3 penalties per game?
4. Huns to be allowed 12 players (not including the officials) on the pitch?
5. Huns to get a 3 goal start over every team?
6. Offside rule abandoned (for huns only)?
7. No hun player to be booked?
8. Any team wearing green and white not allowed to win a game?
9. Huns to get the 3 points no matter the scoreline?
10. Huns excempt from paying taxes? Oh wait!!!!
AT’s Blog As I said earlier uefa must get involved
traditionalist88,
It needs creditors with 75% of the debts by value to agree a CVA, not 75% of the total number of creditors.
The wee face painter wummen wouldn’t have the same voting strength as Hector!

Still not as bad as Phil Collins’s text to his wife,
Hey u a want a divrce xx.
I see that Daily Record is again not telling the truth and giving information that may cause concerns in Celtic support.
In today’s article they wrote:
“NEW Celtic signing Jaroslaw Fojut admits he fears he will start his Celtic career on the treatment table.”
The truth is:
Jaroslaw Fojut has never ever spoken to Daily Record.
His knee injury is not serious. According to the statement given by the doctor the plan for the full treatment is two weeks in orthotics and three weeks rehabilitation.
Fojut got injured on 24th and that means that he will be fully fit before the end of May.
I take it Neil Lennon’s comments about Fergie’s touchline bust-up and the fact he thinks he gets a raw deal from the Scottish press will be totally ignored by the media around these parts. Busy news day n all that.

I am considering C67 as a way of contributing directly and only to Celtic fc for next season (when the corruption is completed ) .
You say that there is a full replay at midnight ,is this the only time they replay the game as this is not compatible with work commitments .
Any info welcomed

Excellent news! I had been wondering how things were going for him. Thanks for letting us know.
Zbyszek,
I think you’ll find the DR is always correct.In fact their ability to dig deep and find the real truth is ‘off the radar.’ ;-)
Cheers for the real story bud.
SPL chairman Ralph Topping has resigned his SFA board commitments due to pressure of work. The 60-year-old, who is chief executive of bookmakers William Hill, will continue in his non-executive role with the SPL which he has held since 2009.
At the start of this season, Topping was appointed to the new Professional Game Board (PGB) of the SFA which was created as part of chief executive Stewart Regan’s radical restructuring of the organisation. Topping was also elected onto the main SFA board of directors as a representative of the PGB.
Topping’s decision to step down from SFA duties leaves a vacancy on both the main SFA board and PGB. The SPL are allowed three representatives on the PGB – the others are currently SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster and Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell.
One of those two could now be in line for a place on the main SFA board, while an SPL appointed replacement for Topping will join the PGB.
Doncaster, meanwhile, has admitted that the continuing uncertainty over Rangers’ participation in the SPL next season is hampering efforts to finalise the new £80 million television contract with Sky and ESPN, as well as attempts to find a replacement for title sponsors Clydesdale Bank.
“We have agreed terms with Sky and ESPN for a new five-year deal from this summer,” said Doncaster.
“But, as is the case with many commercial contracts, long form commercial contracts follow the initial agreement.
“We still have another season with Clydesdale Bank as our main sponsor who will exit in the summer of 2013. So discussions remain ongoing. Generally, having clarity going forward would be helpful to everyone. Not merely to ourselves in the SPL centre, but to all 12 member clubs.
“To have that clarity, to understand what the league looks like next season, would be helpful to all.”

Just needed that confirmed! Had visions of thousands of wee face painter wummen getting together and agreeing to let them off;)
So essentially… ALL creditors, with 75% of the debts by value as you say, have to agree a CVA before it can be a possibility?!

As all of our away games are shown live ,would it be possible for Celtic to show these games live via beam back to CP .
All fans that previously attended away matches could run their buses to CP and give OUR club all the money and starve the cheats .
Make every game a home game for the clubs funds and the supporters and send a high profile message to the cheats
If Paddy does move on, he is the one guy I would pay in to watch playing for another team.
there you go I said it.
While I still hope for sporting integrity to win out,and rangers to be demoted to 3rd div,should the unthinkable come to pass,then,I would like to see Celtic refuse to acknowledge newcos presence,refuse to play them,whether it be league,or cup competitions,this would negate the tv deal,and,would send a very loud message to the authorities.

Thereis a really easy way to remove ALL the uncertainty over the huns appearing in the SPL next season.
Tell them they are not getting in and alltitles wion during the EBT era have been awarded to the team in second place and they or their new form will be banned from the SPL for as the same period they operasted EBTs!
Simple really

You shoulsd always proof read for spelling errors btw!!! :-)
Craig Whyte has to be paid before there’s anything left to divvy up among the creditors.
He’s going to at least want to have Ticketus squared up and a couple of million for his own efforts.
How is that going to work?

Pity his songs were not restricted to text.
traditionalist88,
Yes – or to put it another way, it takes 25% of the debt to block a CVA, so there can’t be a CVA without HMRC.

Very true,but what a smashing actor :O(
Neil Lennon: ‘We hope to bring in 3 or 4 quality players. Some players will be leaving, about six, & they have been told.’ (PC)”
———————————————————————
sorry to sound confused, but… how do you tell “about” six players… it’s six or it’s not, and i’d hope if they’ve been told he’d know how many it is.
am i the only one puzzled?
Has the hysteria calmed down after reading Alex Thomson and RTC or ar we still wanting to put the boot into the only innocent party in all of this… CELTIC!
Seriously, I hope none of you muppets have a seat anywhere near me next season…
Paul67,
Your article is very sobering. Is there any way this can be challenged? Surely, it breaks all kinds of law, rules and regulations, never mind the whole concept of sporting integrity?
Cheers GordonJ.
jock tamson- sounds like he means 6 definite departures, probably one or two more who could be on the way and he’s probably not including those players who will be leaving who are considered part of the Development squad at present.
Think we have scope to lose more than 6.

There’s ten for starters, with coats on shoogly pegs for Bangura, Brozek, Paddy, Blackman, Stokes.

IMO CW was sourced to shaft HMRC (all other creditors ) so I would not expect him to put any barriers in the way of the scam .
I would not rule out him being back in the knuckle draggers good books in the future

I’d keep Blackman if Neilly decides Mulgrew is to be one of the 1st pick CBs all things being equal
Is The Green Manalishi about today?
regarding the oldco/newco may 11th/13th thing… this was asked before but i never saw an answer..
how could a newco set between now and the end of the season register a player to play in their final league game? it’s outside the transfer window.

Loved him in the gorilla suit.
RIP Steve Reynolds. One year on. Sadly missed by many on here and no doubt many more from all corners of the world. Prayers for Sarah & Jonathan tonight.
Perhaps the six to leave doesn’t include those who will be out of contract? I would have thought that they would know they are not getting a new offer before now.
following on from that… correct me if i’m wrong, but…
if rangers oldco vanish… the SFA revert to owning their registrations, and newco would have to buy them. but…
if rangers oldco and newco co-exist, there are stringent UEFA rules prohibiting ownership of two clubs at the same time.
how does that work?
