Looks increasingly likely that Rangers won't start the season.
Wow. There's a few circles to square there alright. Incidently -I wonder how does Ally McCoist intend to action his stated intention that he will "never accept" titles being stripped from oldco Rangers. Is he going to resign on principle or just hide his sullied medals somewhere?
Maybe he could look to sell them on ebay where I suspect they might be worth a few bob for sheer novelty value rather than as tokens of having won something.
You can believe the haggling and horsetrading over the TV rights, but demanding the SPL drop the dual contracts investigation and not even countenance title stripping is just bizarre. Who has who over a barrel here? The arrogance is breathtaking.
I still believe that this is bad news for Celtic. I would be very surprised if their gates don't drop, their tv income drop, no buzz of the Old Firm game etc etc Hearts may possibly offer a challenge but I doubt it. SPL yawnfest.
Hmm, just like a few other national leagues.
Anyway, Celtic aren't that good. Would say they're unlikely to qualify for the CL Group stages and are as capable of losing to anyone in the SPL as well as beating them...
Rangers are now gloating that they're debt-free, and therefore in a much better position than all the clubs playing 3 levels higher than themselves, and in fact most of the teams in Europe too. I'm sure they're the envy of Scotland right now. Celtic fans must be so jealous.

“We’re ready with a strong balance sheet and a squad that can play at almost any level,” insisted the chairman, Malcolm Murray. Green said: “We’ve not got the debt that any of these clubs have. And, on the last day of the season, I would really enjoy some clever financial analyst looking at the balance sheets and debt-to-equity ratio of every club in Scotland.”
Thats right Mr Green the top of the table every football fan wants their club The Debt/Equity Ratio Table - That is laughable stuff.
I see Green has already blamed Bigotry and Jealousy as the reasons they werent admitted back to the SPL. It doesnt take long to become indoctrinated............. The cheating and liquidation and rules of the SFA/SFL/SPL were a smoke screen obviously....
I like how on one hand they want to continue with the line , we are the same club, 100+ years of history, 50+ league championships etc.etc.. however, they are now boasting that they no longer have the debt of that club because er....it no longer exists -Bizarre stuff.
Good win for Celtic last night. Saw a fair bit of the game. They looked more comfortable away from hope in Europe than they have been for a while. Could be a financial bonus to offset other drops in revenue.
Interesting tracksuit for Mr Lennon with tricolours on the inside of each collar. Is this Official garb or is Neil making a statement?
Why the capital for official? Lennon is no Sticky :)Quote:

I like it, the lad will not stand down.
Do you have a pic OwlsFan by any chance as the tricolor is worked into the new away jersey (see picture below) so might also be on the track suit in a similar way?

Its official gear.

Lennon has the bigger, more distinctive, tricolour stripes.
Fenlon seems to be turning Hibs around, after an average start, they're now up to second, only a point behind Motherwell. Last season's Cup run did suggest the potential there, good to see Doyle starting regularly.
Nearly a massive giant killing at Ibrox this evening. Fortunately for Queen of the South they managed to negotiate a penalty shoot out and avoided being beaten by a team from a lower division.
That made me guffaw. Nice.Quote:

Surprisingly good.
But as their fans keep telling us, they're still Rnagers, except when they have to face up to paying their vast debts...
In fairness, their league attendances haven't dropped this season. League Cup attendances in any league are lower than regular attendances.
Found a stream of BBC Alba, so got to watch the last while in Scots Gaelic. Had a good laugh. Especially as Rangers were hanging on with ten men until QoS equalised in the 90th minute to take the game into injury time.
Still no Third Division side has ever reached the final...
What was with the Celtic jersey worn against Hearts? The original one?
Relegation candidates last season, Hibs, now on Celtic's coat tails.
Rangers lose to Sterling Albion.
It's a funny old game in Scotland.

Yip. All over football shirt sites last month.
Hibs were playing well towards the end of last season. Fenlon isa a good manager. Delighted for them.Quote:
