According to the BBC, Rangers have confirmed that Imran Ahmad, the Commercial Director and close ally of Charles Green, has left the club.
Of course, as a listed company, and as Mr Ahmad is a “key employee” (as described in the Prospectus, RIFC PLC needs to be careful about how it publicises the information, lest it be accused of releasing market-sensitive information inappropriately.
Mr Ahmad was of course not on the PLC Board, but he was on the Board of the Rangers Football Club Ltd.
As regular readers will know, the assets and business of the football club are owned by Rangers Football Club Ltd (the former Sevco Scotland Ltd) and in turn that company’s shares are owned 100% by the PLC.
It is therefore important who sits on the board of RFC Ltd. This is effectively the football side of the business, as is a common structure.
When Sevco Scotland Ltd was incorporated, Mr Green was the sole director. He was joined on the board at the end of June 2012 by Brian Stockbridge, Mr Ahmad and Malcolm Murray. The company then changed its name at the end of July 2012 to the Rangers Football Club Ltd.
In December, following the flotation of the PLC, Mr Murray resigned as a director, allowing him to focus on being non-executive chairman of the PLC.
So the Board of the company which owns the assets and business of Rangers Football Club consists, according to Companies House records as at today’s date, of Messrs Stockbridge, Green and Ahmad.
The latter two have, we are told, gone or are going. So Mr Stockbridge is now in a remarkably strong position (at least on paper) as being the sole “active” director of the private limited company and, along with Craig Mather, the only executive director of the PLC (although Companies House does not seem to have Mr Mather listed as a director yet).
Mr Stockbridge appears only to hold around 71,000 shares, so about one eighth of one percent of the share capital.
By contrast the shareholdings of Mr Green and Mr Ahmad add up to over 11% of the capital. As ex- or soon to be ex-employees of Rangers, then one might expect them to be looking to sell off shareholdings, subject of course to “lock in”.
Mr Green has apparently already sold (or agreed to sell) his stake to the Easdale brothers. Will Mr Ahmad do the same? If so, suddenly there is a new major shareholder in Ibrox and indeed the BBC suggest they are looking to increase their stake to 29.9%. (That figure is important as accumulating 30% or more of a PLC’s shares requires a takeover bid to be tabled.)
It seems bizarrely quickly that Mr Green’s stated goal of the flotation ensuring that there could never again be a dominating shareholder has gone by the wayside!
On the basis however that it is ill wind that blows everybody now good, there will be gainful employment for Rangers PR team in preparing a further announcement for 7 am on Monday to the Stock Exchange. In addition stockbrokers might find that there are more people than normal looking to sell Rangers shares, whilst of course at the same time speculators looking to buy them up if they see a money-making opportunity.
Losing the top two men involved in setting up a PLC, being owners of 11% of the shares, and therefore leaving the company minus a fully appointed CEO and Finance Director would have effects on the most stable of companies.
How will it impact on Rangers? After all, stability is one quality which has been at very short supply in Edmiston Drive for a long time now!
Looking back at recent developments, the words of Freddie Mercury come to mind …

Ahmed has left. Another successful prediction from ‘ Gypsy Rose Bud ‘!
@Budweiser
Gypsy Rose Bud ! Please don’t tell me you have a “costume”
Bud,you need to lay off the Buds 🙂
Maggie.
I am reminded ,of the no doubt apocryphal story, wherein a sufferer of piles, who had tried all homeopathic and mainstream ‘cures’, read somewhere that inserting copius amounts of wet, brewed tea leaves into the infected parts, three times a day, would ,in a week, affect a miraculous cure !
After said week. patient visits doctor to ascertain effects of ‘cure ‘. Patient drops troosers and y fronts ,bends over chair,and ,looking over his shoulder,says ” whit can ye see doc ?” Doc, bending down and peering closely says ” you are going to meet a tall, dark,handsome stranger”.
I am currently trying to read the future by the above methods. Unfortunately, Mrs B can’t quite grasp why I’m lying on my back,on the living room carpet, with my legs behind my ears , straining to see my oracle.
She said that she doesn’t believe in the supernatural, and that I am looking into a dark place !
I have predictions on the RIFC share price if you are interested?
…….Just off to Tesco for some Jelly & Ice cream, would anyone like a bowl? @Adam 😀 haha I feel your pain, your club is dead! Should have paid the tax man! Tut tut. Graffiti on the wall…….:D
I struggle with the thinking at times. “Youse are deid unless you get Green and Ahmad out and act quick” They go “Ha Ha, youse are deid now that Green and Ahmad are gone”
🙂
Dead again then, is that better? Bowl of Ice cream & Jelly sir? :-D….go on Adam have a bowl…..join in.
Its called the black art of making a sows ear out of a red,white and blue parachute.
If SDM, CW, CG, Ahmad and D&P are examples of unfettered capitalism then no wonder we are in the mire, these people make bankers and politicians seem almost honest.
Naill–make bankers and politicians seem almost honest—you go to far. They are all cut from the same cloth.
adam are signing the e petition for the 5 way to be seen by fans ?
Not before he has a wee argument with it first. He is busy at the moment, he is outside arguing with a wall, explaining why it can’t possibly consider itself to be a wall, The poor wall is wilting and ready to concede that it is in fact, a brick built partition, and promising that it will never call itself a wall again.
@barcabuster
What is it with sevco and walls and bricks, just met a sevconian who calls himself Leggo. Actually thinks he lives in a Leggo town which he calls leggoland. True fact.
He’s a total Brick !
He is guilty of Duplocity.

@Mac
No problem mate, thought you might like it. The memorial is set in Trinity Square Gardens, off Tower Hill. That’s the Second World War extension; next time I’m up that way I’ll get a photo of the First World War section as well. Last time I was too busy taking shots of 10 Trinity Square (which was the home of the Port of London Authority from 1922,) which has some impressive statuary & stonework.
@barcabuster
You are a shrewd observer of human nature barca 🙂
Brick built partition ! LOL
No. Its a complete waste of time. All epetitions are.
@Adam
It would seem that is the general consensus of the Rangers support and I don’t think their epetition on the Government website against HMRC has even got above 40,000 yet despite the mass cheating involved.
Really strange that a wordwide support of 500 million can’t raise a piddling 100,000 sigs to be considered for a parliamentary debate.
Or perhaps it really is a good sign and the honest Bears are showing that they don’t agree with dodgy tax deals.
Not strange,rather a healthy sign that obsession is a Celtic affliction.
The only thing that’s a waste of time is Sevconians saying Rangers are not dead…..because they are…:D
Rangers are dead IF they are losing a million per month, IF Craig Whyte owns the assets and IF Ally is off spending his 10 million war chest on ineligible players.
……but in the real world hearsay is not evidence or proof of death
Liquidation is death in my book…..:D
Monti,
You are quite entitled to your book, unfortunately the SFA book of members say otherwise, and their book is the only one that counts in football history.
@Niall Walker
“For the avoidance of doubt” which SFA book is that ?
The one entitled “How to BREAK all our own rules to keep Rangers alive” maybe,author Campbell “I’m so conflicted,I’ve acquired a shredding addiction” Ogilvie
Adam, not so. I regularly sign up to 38 Degrees petitions and they have achieved some notable victories—-in making politicians change tack.
@Adam is this another example of the quaint cultural trait abroad in Sevco land that you do not challenge authority?
no wonder the abyss beckons once again.
@Adam
Oh go on,surprise yourself,live a little Adam.Aren’t you even a tiny bit interested in what that buffoon Chico signed up to ?
I am, but if anyone thinks an online petition will be the catalyst to finding out, they are as mad as Leggo.
Adam what about the petitions that made sure Sevco weren’t parachuted
back ino the SPL?
@Adam
I take it you’ve never heard of Change.org or 38 Degrees; both have impressive records when it comes to e-petitions. I should know, I’ve signed a few!
Paul, who honestly knows where this is going.
It’s becoming more protracted than Henry VIII divorce proceedings. As King TRFC courts the favours of a new suitor he’s scurrying to plot the beheading of any previous suitor who has outlived their usefulness.
As with all royal courts backstabbing and intrigue abound with Sir Walter of Cardigan plotting the downfall of his errant liege, assisted by Viscount Sally of Brogue in his role as court jester. Letters of defiance and treason will be sent only to be traced back to within court itself.
Undoubtedly again any dissenting questions surrounding wanton actions will be attributed to followers of ‘the church’ and parchment bampots who stand in their way, thwarting the authority of King TRFC to do….well whatever the f@ck he wants without hinderance or objection. The rallying cry “If your not for the peepul, you are against the peepul” will be sent forth.
If the laws don’t assist he’ll instruct Cardinal Doncaster that all tithes and obedience will be withdrawn from Rome (well Hampden at least) unless laws and rules are changed to suit.
The King will go on living well whilst his followers starve and he will verily pump and rodger anything with impunity to preserve the House of Sevco’s line.
Methinks you have been indulging in mucho codpiece sniffing,,,,off with your head!

no Paul, he’s not alive, Just another Zombie on “Obsession Watch”
|Role untenable so he had to go, the association with whyte means he is directly linked to any wrongdoing at the inception of sevco 5088. Only a matter of time before the rest of the cards come tumbling down now.

Cam,
Vampires are Eternal & like “Ra Rangers” they are bloodsuckers too.
I don’t think you are Vampires nor Eternal… Just LEECHES.
What a fascinating situation ………. Potential power struggle for the controling interest of Rangers ……
Let’s take the BBC at their word for the moment …..
“…. they (Easdale Bros) are looking to increase their stake to 29.9%.”
But would be good to get confirmed sources of the Easdale Bros intent …
How do they accumilate 29.9% …… ?
Not from the ‘circle’ ……. that’s my assessment !! ………..
I agree they want out ….. but not until they have recouped their original loss through the Ticketus deal ….
Mike Ashley ….. No …. I reckon he is holding onto the shirt tails of the ‘circle’ and see’s the potential for gain on the back of this ….
Margarita Funds Holding Trust …… who the heck are they ….. ? ….. so probably beyond reach ….
Blue Pitch Holding ………. same deal !
So excluding Green, Ahmad and Mather ….. the rest form ….. the circle
Of course there are many smaller investors not listed ….. so they can maybe mop some of these up ……… but to 29.9% …… No way in my opinion …. !
@newtz
Don’t forget the Richard Hughes of Zeus shares – another 2.2 million shares. He might decide to bail-out now that Imran Ahmad who was Zeus MD has gone. There’s another Zeus director with 100K in shares and there may be other unnamed Zeus investors as well.
Just don’t see that eco. Likewise I think Imram will stay loyal to the ‘circle’.
Looking back during last Oct yourself, Paul and 100bjd tried to figure out who exactly are Margarita Funds Holding Trust …… resulted in a dead end.
Anyway …. here is my take on the BBC report …..
It’s a long term aim/ambition ……….. that one I can accept ……….. So …
Nothing to see …. time to move on
Oh meant to add ……
as long as the ‘circle’ holds firm they will recoup with ‘interest’ when their lock-in lapses.
Meantime they now have one hell of a battle on their hands …
Green has Jeopardised the whole project …
Imran miscalculated in bringing Green in ….. but at the time seemed the ideal front man ….. and now further mistakes has resulted (apparently) in him being asked to step aside ……
If only thay had paid to make Whyte go away …… it would have been so different …… Rangers would be in a very strong position …. yes they may be loss making, but the ‘circle’ could easily prop them up (and still can), until they can get out ……..
The Magic Circle,the Circle of life,the Inner Circle,Circles within circles,Circle the wagons,wagon wheels,Orange club biscuits,Cream crackers,walking in circles,the wheel is come full circle,the horizon of many people is a circle with zero radius which they call their point of view,moving in famous circles,,,,i’m getting dizzy
lol …. cream crackers …. possibly !

Cam, Sometimes you were funny, sometime in Denial, now you come across as Desperate…. Is the Formaldehyde leaking, Zombie Boy?
@newtz
Re Margarita holdings:
Did somebody think to ask Jimmy Buffet ?
“wasting away again in Margaritaville .. The best bad song EVER 🙂
I’m away to find JimBhoy,he’s got our coats……
Newtz,
I have always believed that Whyte was part of a plan to head up a prepack admin to solve Rangers woes. The trouble with the plan was that they failed in Europe and Whyte went off piste by alienating the tax man further, selling the Arsenal shares and giving £200k to Banstead or Earley (who subsequently paid it into Ahmeds dear old mother’s account at a later date). All this was not helpful although a deal could still be done. All Mr Grieve had to do was find the right people. Enter Chico and the new game. Chico had to work with Whyte, as anyone would because he had the shares and they were important in an administration scenario. Whyte would certainly have covered his deal in either administration or liqidation. I have said this a few times and Dave King is of the same opinion. Therefore it is highly likely that Sevco 5088 was the vehicle for The duffers to bestow exclusive rights to purchase Rangers assets in liquidation. At this point Chico and Ahmed have robbed Craigiebhoy and used their own Sevco Scotland vehicle to do the deal. The circle as you refer to, in the main, did not know this, as the only way this would not be a disaster was for Craigibhoy to keep quiet. I have it on excellent information that Chico threatened Craigiebhoy with the fans ire and because he was quiet Chico thought he had won the game. Regrettably Craigibhoy was waiting for the best time to strike so he waited until just before the floatation to write to Chico. At this point if Chico had pulled the plug it would have cost fortunes and the club would definitely not have survived so Chico went for it and then started on his exit strategy knowing that Craighiebhoy was going to make big trouble. Ahmed did exactly the same! You may call this scenario a circle and I might call it a grouping of financiers and funders although I will tell you that the circle to use your terms is deeply unhappy with Green and Ahmad.They will, as ever, act in their own interests although not neccessarily to Chico,s tune.Chico will go on the missing list now for the next year until his next interesting deal.
Which all goes to support the view that the whole Easdale story is at best extremely unlikely and at worst PR junk designed to comfort and distract.
I am told Mike Ashley acquired hid shares in his take over of the JJB’s he has put no money into Sevco what so ever.
“I am told” 🙂
Felpen,
Absolutely correct……………what a deal. Perhaps someone like Cam could investigate why Ashley ended up with a huge share of Rangers merchandising and not only did he not pay any one off licensing charge……he actually got 10% of Rangers equity for nothing……………..I know what I think and I am sure there will be lots of other Chico related deals around the place! Some of the players were also Chico related also…..alledgedly. Seriously Cam I am definitely not a rangers hater. Check my posts and you will see that for yourself. I am however a hater of spivs and that is why I have posted on RTC and Pauls fine blog. Do not bother to have a go at me…use your energy and inelligence to write to your club to seek clarification and rationale behind the Ashley deal. Then your voices will become powerful and you can play an important part in your club’s future. Good luck.
Not to worry everybody. The SFA are all over this like a cheap suit!
They are way ahead of the game, and as I write this, they are rolling their trouser legs down and preparing for action.
I believe a letter will be dictated sometime after tea and biscuits on Monday. Beginning with a rough draught, this document will be examined in minute detail by their expert team of legal draughtsmen, and no stone will ve left unturned. Utmost clarity will be demanded and documented proof will be expected tobe returned forthwith.
An insider assured me of this, with the caveat, “We might just send out a copy of the last letter. Sometimes it is chocolate biscuits on a Monday.
@barcabuster

Just a wee health warning regards over eating of jelly.seemingly there’s a possible link between animal derived gelatin and BSE,more commonly known as mad cow disease,,,,just saying.
Our jelly is made with carageenan – you see many of us are vegetarian but we won’t be deprived of our jelly and ice-cream, as the Rangers die of shame.
Cam,
Ice Cream & Jelly is MUCH Better than the Preserves you Zombie Boys are on..
In view of its widespread use, toxicity and volatility, exposure to Formaldehyde is a significant consideration fo Hhuman Health…

It will be all over soon,.Requiescat in Pace.
Interesting when even CRO starts discussing Octopus and Ticketus – the bampot madness is certainly spreading.
Wonder if AIM think an announcement isn’t necessary re Imran Ahmad because he is only a listed club director and reasonable sized shareholder.
But perhaps him being listed as a ‘key employee’ in the Rangers AIM Prospectus might put him in the frame for a Monday Morning notice.
That should reassure McCoist the only other ‘key employee in Rangers International.
I see the Darkside are claiming that AIM is conducting an enquiry into the BBC for early release of Green’s departure from RIFC. I think Rangers must hold the world record for the amount of enquiries looking into them in one form or another and alive or dead or in a coma.
4 wonderful goals by the youngsters today and against the intimidating unfair odds of 10 enraged part timers.Is this the beginning of the end of the beginning?,is this Ally’s Kilmarnock moment?
I wonder what Ally will say at his compusory press conference?
The poor guy must have a sore head knowing that every word,facial expression and body language is being studied.
If you look at one of the games at Ibrox you may see him making gestures a la Brody in Homeland,,,fascinating.
His words certainly will be analysed as they have proven to be a bit problematic at times.
@eco
“Problematic” is very diplomatic 🙂
So are we to assume, the players in this drama are harking back to the old crew to take their rightful place at the top table. Would this be the same shower who sat back and let Moonbeams run their beloved company into the ground.
I wouldnt trust any of that useless shower. They are and were part of the corrupt hierarchy within the walls of Scottish football.
Shut them down. Clean it from top to bottom and start afresh. No sevco. No SFA. No funny handshakes. Transparency for the fans. give Spartans their rightful place.
ps. Ogilvie… DO ONE
Was there a game on today, never seen it advertised.
I see that Green is still listed as a director of Rangers Retail Ltd – the joint company set-up with Ashley. Stockbridge is also a director and there are three Sports Direct employees as directors. So on a head vote SD have control.
But shareholding has been altered in mid December so not actually sure how that is now apportioned although Green always claimed that Rangers owned 51%. When I have some spare time I’ll have a look as chuckles did have this intermittent memory problem.
Thanks Eco,if you could get that info ASAP i would be fascinated!!
Its ok Cam he’s not real,he’s imaginary,think of him as the Stay Puft man,he’s cuddly,cute and really rather nice,,,breathe,relax,go to your happy place,,,,,exhale,,,,,,,aaaah.

Approval voting
From Wikipedia,
On an approval ballot, the voter can vote for any number of candidates
Approval voting is a single-winner voting system used for elections. Each voter may vote for (or ‘approve’ of) as many of the candidates as the voter wishes. The winner is the candidate receiving the most votes. Each voter may vote for any combination of candidates and may give each candidate at most one vote. Approval voting treats each candidate as an essentially separate question, “Do you approve of this person for the job?” Each voter may cast one vote per candidate, either for or against, and whoever receives the most ‘Yes’ votes wins.

Poor Old Sally,
Quite right Cam, Rangers are indeed eternal.
Of course, the courts might eventually decide that there has been a shocking criminal conspiracy and a flagrant disregarding of company law and stock exchange regulations. Then, they might direct that the club playing at Ibrox stadium cannot call themselves Rangers any more.
Yes, maybe I am dreaming. We will probably have Rangers limping on while the rogues gallery of assorted crooks and tax dodgers sit in the director’s box and fleece the supporters. If the supporters accept that treatment, then that is what they deserve. Hell mend them.
We shall then be known as The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers,,,until a sad wee guy in a hoops top complains that his son is traumatised by the evil denizens of Ibrox and has filed a multi million pound law suit for copyright infringement and Paul can do an in depth post on the legalities of upsetting a wean and how Rangers cannot register plastic toy figures due to an obscure UEFA ruling that happened to fall onto his desk.
Eco will of course supply us with background info on each of the Power Rangers ,and their well devo dodgy history will be pheonixivated on by mick.
Premise
Main articles: List of Power Rangers, List of Power Rangers characters, and List of Power Rangers villains
Since Power Rangers derives most of its footage from the Super Sentai Series, it features many hallmarks that distinguish it from other superhero series. Each series revolves around a team of young people recruited and trained by a mentor to morph into Rangers, able to utilize special powers and pilot colossal assault machines called Zords to defeat and overcome evil forces that threaten humanity. At the end of a series, Rangers sacrifice their weapons, Zords, or powers in order to defeat the lead villain they had fought during the series. For example in Mighty Morphin, alien wizard Zordon recruits “teenagers with attitude” to harness the power of the dinosaurs to overcome the forces of evil space alien Rita Repulsa.[4]
When “morphed” rangers become powerful superheroes wearing color-coded skin-tight battle suits and helmets with opaque visors. Each team’s costumes are nearly identical aside from individual rangers’ color and helmet design. Morphed Rangers generally possesses superhuman strength, durability, and ability in hand-to-hand combat. Some possess superhuman abilities such as super-speed or invisibility, attributes somewhat related to their Ranger abilities.[5] In addition, each individual ranger has a unique individual weapon as well as common weaponry used for ground fighting.[note 1] When enemies grow to incredible sizes, Rangers utilize individual Zords that combine into a larger Megazord.
Rangers teams operate in teams of five or three, with more Rangers joining the team part way into each season. Each team of Rangers, with a few exceptions, obeys a general set of conventions, outlined at the beginning of Mighty Morphin and implied by mentors throughout many of the other series: Power Rangers may not use their Ranger powers for personal gain or for escalating a fight (unless forced to do so), nor may the Power Rangers disclose their identities to the general public.[note 2] The penalty for disobeying these rules, at least in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, would be the loss of their power.
As in Super Sentai, the color palette of each Power Rangers team changes every series.[note 3] Only Red, Blue, and Yellow appear in every Ranger team. The most common color that does not appear every year is Pink, followed by Green, Black, and White. Other colors and designations also appear throughout the series.[note 4] A Rangers’ color designation also influences their wardrobe throughout the series: civilian clothing often matches Ranger color.[

Not getting to see my team but all our rivals are dropping points and 3 wins out of 4 in the last fixtures will see up back up.
I am interminably bored with all this Rangers stuff, it is lasting longer than the Norse sagas. It is beyond farce. If I were a Celtic fan I would frankly have had my fill of humour and gloating; if I were a Rangers fan, I would go to bed and set my alarm for 2020.
I was going to do a Guest post ( as this is a legal blog ) on the excellent decision to allow the two Roman Catholic midwives to exercise their freedom of conscience and refuse to be engaged at any point in the abortion process.
I havent the time just now or the full clarity of thought but I would like to.
can you honestly believe that I have been given 2 thumbs down for enquiring about your wife David? Care to guess who the 2 are & what team they follow? Very poor, very sad & sadly expected:/
@david
Glad to hear Mrs D improving and I’m looking forward to reading your guest post david.You’re a brave man taking on that one,be prepared for fireworks I’d imagine.
@David
You just concentrate on sorting your other half out mate. Nothing else really matters unless you need a wee distraction for a bit. Best wishes to you both.
Evening Paul, Paul do you have a blog in your thoughts regarding the failure of the SFA to deal with Sevco? Have they all gone on holiday? I wonder what David Longmuir is doing tonight in his ‘ house full of Rangers (IL) fans?? ..
Well, it’s not looking good either way with this potential three-way scenario, either Charles and his little subcontinental friend will pull the plug on a large part of the deal or will sell up to Butler and Blakey – or do they hang out for a cut of the assets if the whole shebang goes under? Amazing in all of this how yesterday’s apparent media (or ‘mhedia’)/blogosphere shit-stirring, conspiratorial lies and innuendo so quickly shape-shifts into today’s facts. Or might Charles and Ahmad’s readiness to jump overboard be connected to a certain constabulary investigation into the provenance of the whole affair?! Prepare the lifeboats!
As an old sea-going pal of mine, who was given to the odd Malapropism (or even Spoonerism) once muttered on eyeing a pot of stew on the galley stove’ ‘Yes, it’s simpering away nicely’. And so it is, my fellow Tims. In fact I’d say it’s simpering away beautifully!
If that great proto-Tim in the sky grants me a moment of reflection before I go gently into that dark night, ( thanks Dylan) I will have much to be thankful for: my family; some modest achievements while passing through this vale of tears; the accumulation of some little capital to be passed on to my dependants. But I shall be thankful too for having been granted the privilege of living at a time when that disgraceful club formerly known as Glasgow Rangers finally got it’s comeuppance. After more than a century of promoting sectarianism, of cheating the exchequer, of improperly registering players and deliberately misleading the authorities , they are now, clearly, in the shit.
And I have a method—I call it my ‘shit-ometer’–of measuring the levels of shit now swirling about the necks of those still desperately clinging to the handrails of the down-by-the-head SS Rangers ( SS meaning ‘Steaming Shit’). But how does my shit-ometer work, I hear you ask? Well, it is a multi-faceted tool. I apply it, for example, to the pronouncements of those assorted hacks and pundits who are clearly of the Blue persuasion–one thinks of Richard ‘Wee Cheeky Face’ Wilson, or the ‘Son Of A Preacher Man’, or of Wacko ‘Wealth Off The Radar’ Jacko’, and I use my shit-ometer to measure the increasing desperation, in their respective utterances, in relation to their beloved club’s current, and clearly very dire, situation. Daily, it has become more difficult for them to deploy positive spin on events as the shit storm engulfing the shuddering old hulk , gathers momentum.
Similarly, there are the the comments of contributors to this blog. From the green side there are some genuine attempts ( I exclude myself from this group) to understand what finally did for the old hulk. But from the blue side (apart from Adam) there has been little but a shrill cacophony of mince that we are supposed to accept as ‘witty repartee’ , but which is nothing more than the desperate rantings of the wretched and the hopeless. ( And you know to whom I refer)
Yes, if on closing my eyes for that very last time, I do so upon a world that has long seen that last of that disgraceful club, why, I will already be in Heaven.
@dan
You say cacophony of mince,I say puerile drivel…..God,it’s tedious in the extreme and becoming more barbed by the day.
Everything else I agree with wholeheartedly dan.
@ecojohn
Rangers manager Ally McCoist insists he is content with his working relationship with Craig Whyte.
Club owner Whyte has said he will take legal action over a BBC Scotland documentary which carried allegations of criminality in his past dealings .
And McCoist said: “He’s been great, absolutely smashing. I spoke to him this morning as I always do.
Ally failure in Europe,Ramsden Cup,Scottish cup,league cup,League championship and complete dickhead in judgement of character.Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me,fool me three times………..you decide.This is why you’s are zombies and going down twice.Who owns your club, that absolutely smashing wee guy Ally spoke to , HA HA.
I remember San Sebastian in Seville, night before the UEFA cup final on 2003, sitting by the pool,feet dipping the water,surrounded by fellow bhoys & ghirls, sun beating down I looked up & saw blue skies & palm trees moving in the late afternoon breeze, to top it off Charlie & the bhoys were setting up for a night of music. I remembered the dark days of the old board & how I followed my team in a dark period of our rich history, you know something I noticed about this period, the harder the times got for Celtic the MORE I loved my club. There is no better feeling in the world than being surrounded by Celtic fans, the Celtic family. We know how special our Club is, our family is & who we are, Celtic people across the world tonight, it is a privilege to be one of you. Seville,even in defeat was wonderful,what an experience & journey, friends created & the locals in Seville were so welcoming & patient with us, I’ll toast the Sevillians tonight, thanks again for your kindness and welcome to your beautiful city, yours in Celtic, Monti.
Monti
” the harder the times got for Celtic the MORE I loved my club.”
Cam and Co. must be madly deeply truly passionately head over heels in love by this stage.
They don’t have a club tho!!!
She was never much of a looker at the best of times, more pretty awful than awful pretty and truth be told she is now a raddled old hag, seduced used and abused by every smart talking chancer at home and away. But love is a very strange thing.
yes they do
Monti I remember in Seville, sitting at a cafe a couple of days after the game, when 4 Spanish guys came up to our table. One of them said in perfect English “We are Sevilla Ultras”, At that moment we started shitting ourselves. We needn’t have worried. 8 whiskies arrived at our table 30 seconds later.
One of my best memories as a Celtic supporter was when the Spanish guys said they had expected us to be your classic British football hooligans, but that we had completely amazed them by simply being not just civil to our hosts, but actively friendly..
Seville was the pinnacle for me as a Tim, even though we lost the game we gained much, much more.:)
HH
Absolutely my friend!!!! HH!
Same happened to me in Barcelona. And Florence. And Lyon. And Lisbon.
Magical Monti, poetic even!
@Monti,gortnamona & Mac Tomas
Stop it,I’m going to cry in a minute.It’s the biggest regret of my life that I couldn’t go to Seville.It was of course the greatest day of my son’s life.
Even if ( at 17 ) he had to go with his “da and his da’s pals” 🙂 I’m so sorry I couldn’t be there to share that momentous day with him.
He still goes to every game with his “da and his da’s pals” and loves it.
I’ll let you into a secret bhoys,I couldn’t care less about the actual football,it’s Celtic I love,since my first game as a child with my own da.
Like you say Monti,it’s family.Always has been,always will be. HH
Evening Maggie, absolutely agree with you, Celtic is a feeling, it is wonderful, I remember as a young boy listening to the radio & discovering you could get live commentary of a Celtic game & those magical words came through ‘ there’s been a goal at parkhead, it’s a goal for Celtic’ jumping around the room punching the air, then you went to the games, standing under the cameras in the Jungle,I still miss the Jungle big time, giving Archie McPherson the bird lol. I love our fans, I remember I was about sixteen & we were on the bus to pittodrie, I only had enough money for my bus & my ticket, we stopped off at this fancy place on the way & sat at the tables, I was sitting there without a bean in my pocket & the waiter asked me what I wanted, I didn’t know where to look, one of the older guys said he’s having the same as me, it was a three course meal & he nudged me in the ribs & said ” Mont it’s ok” I’ll never forget the man for that gesture & I’ve done it myself for some of the younger bhoys. I enjoy our people.HH!
@Monti
Remember there was a ballot for tickets for the away game semi final against Boavista.My son won a ticket and begged to be allowed to go.I was very reluctant as he was only 17 and we didn’t know anyone who was going.The only reason we relented and let him go was because I knew he’d be alright as someone would befriend him and keep an eye out for him which they did.The men in the departure lounge,on the plane and on the bus to the town made sure he was ok and when he befriended a nice group of lads on the bus,they made sure he was fine before going off to enjoy the day.Gentlemen all.
He and his friends now do the same for other young lads,either on their own or with their pals on their first European away trips.
This is who we are Monti.Always have been,always will be.
HH
Sitting welling up here. WE ARE ONE. HAIL HAIL
hi Paul could you decipher this for me the stv said on the 25th april that the SFA had spoken with Charles green it states GREEN was also asked to give an “irrevocable commitment” for the company to have no future connection with whyte or associates in the future why would they ask that question if they did do due diligence on green strange one me thinks also, to me this looks like they the sofa are shielding something or given the nod and was green not away on holiday Paul if you could be so kind to break this down for me if you could treat it as a witnesses statement what part of this would you attack if you where in there as a lawyer
http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/rangers/222872-scottish-fa-seek-more-answers-from-rangers-over-craig-whyte-involvement/
sorry SFA NOT SOFA LOL
@lord mac…A sofa has it’s uses. You were correct the first time.
Which “Zeus Capital Ltd” did Imran Ahmad leave as there appear to be 2 coy’s by that name? Maybe this explains the number of companies called Sevco.
Yes, I have had difficulty tracking that one down too. And when I look at the Prospectus Ahmed does not have Zeus listed under companies current or last five years. Is it possible to be both MD (managing director) of Zeus but not be a director?
Trouble surrounding this is the rather loose definitions of roles within Zeus Caps with 1 individual for instance described variously as “partner” & “board level executive”. However, Company Director Check does not show her as a director in Zeus.
Yes it is.
there are hundreds of sevcos. It is a generic name Service Company followed by different numbers which are sold as off the shelf limited companies
Sorry 100bjd, my comment about the sevco names was intended to cover just the 2 so far mentioned in this sorry saga.
Legal & General? Magic circle?
cant wait till we embarrass the sfa and rangers should we get drawn in the
SFA cups,next year when the Celtic family will not turn up to ibrox due to being a health hazard with there being known asbestos and no safety ticket being issued for it or its removal. the SFA will be heavily fined if they don’t intervene in this serious heath risk and as there are no heath risk notices put up as yet, there will be claim made shortly due to the exposure

……but in the real world hearsay is not evidence or proof of death.
=======================================================
That’s what you argued when I told you 18mths ago that Rangers would be liquidated.
Of course it isn’t and wasn’t hearsay.
The evidence was there, and still is, but Rangers fans and others choose to either ignore it or casually dismiss it.
Carntyne,
Lets get this clear, neither you or anyone else KNEW Rangers would be liquidated and you had no evidence to claim knowledge. There was a case for both arguments, and both sides did not KNOW what CW had been saying to HMRC for 9 months, as it happens his attitude swung the pendulum your way, but you did not KNOW this until after the judgement.
There was nothing stopping Rangers getting a CVA if they fulfilled the criteria, HMRC clearly indicated the one condition Rangers failed on, CWs dealings with HMRC, and that doesn’t just mean he didn’t pay his tax.
Your guess was as just as much hearsay as my guess,the fact you won the blind coin toss doesn’t make you a prophet or a sage.
As it happens HMRC may not charge CW with anything and then one may ask if liquidation was necessary, does that make me the new winner ?
Dismount before you get giddy and fall off.
SDM, sold out for a £1, why ? i don’t care, end result of that transaction, the liquidation of RFC1872 a business. KARMA
Sevco whatever are a NEW club, those that want to delude themselves that Rangers never died are free to do so,
If they were the same club, and the SFA deal in clubs, why were Rangers not deducted points for still being in administration at the start of this season, any club STILL in administration at the beginning of a new season is automatically deducted points, THE Rangers (SEVCO ???)never had any points deducted because that club has never been in administration.
Craig Whyte played no part in discussions with HMRC over the big tax case, that was all Handled by Murray’s men at MIH.
Whyte was only taling about his failure to pay VAT for the Ticketus deal, plus his other VAT responsabilities, his failure to pay NIC’s and PAYE,
ignoring the big tax case, the Rangers went bust owing £55 m
I love my little Gravatar on this site, a wee reminder of how little it took to kill off the bigoted sectarian,tax dodging Manchester wrecking “establishment” club, thank you SDM, your revenge on the Rangers fans those left you to pick up a £50m bill over their refusal to buy shares in your share issue, SDM’s revenge, sold HIS club to a skint billionaire, he was telling everyone that RFC could not lose the big tax case,yet he still sold out for a £1
Make that over 2yrs ago.
Sorry to disappoint you, Lord, but it isn’t true… The asbestos problem, I’m reliably told, is insignificant. They have a much bigger problem, I hear, with drainage which will cost upwards of £2m to fix. I wish the asbestos thing was true but it isn’t and I’d be interested to see any reliable sources you have on this as it seems to be getting referenced a lot these days.
if it has any old steel structures i would say it is 99.9% certain to have asbestos covering it, and it would not get passed of as fire proof
as all steel work in that ERA had to conform to steel structure safety standard by both the insurers and also the fire brigade what percentage are you on it not having any
It’s sheet asbestos…No risk unless broken..and then minimal..the majority of football grounds will have some .
Just relaying what I was told by someone in construction / engineering who actually was involved in evaluating the situation there. I can give his name, he’s often on kds. Would be interested to see where the story is coming from, seems to be getting a lot of AirPlay these days.
It is true. Right. So it is. Coz the clatterers say its true. You’re wrong. Fact !
Still can’t force myself to watch any footage from the spring of 2003…..we were cheated by a team on financial steroids……The biggest tainted treble since Jimmy Saville/Gary Glitter/Jonathan King……also cost us victory on Seville in any sensible person’s opinion…….Deadclub at Ibrox…..karma is a bitch ey?……….Chris Sutton nailed it in his interview and got abused for being dead right……..Rangers got nailed and are now right dead….GREAT
Marty,we got off on the wrong foot old bhoy. Can we be pals? or at least not enemies,,,life’s too short.
Sutton got abused for being a cock. A paranoid cock at that. You should get those symptoms checked out.

If I were a Rangers fan, I would go to bed and set my alarm for 2020.
=========================================================
You mean you’re not?
You keep it well hidden.
Well Dougie Macdonald was the ref that day
He gave us a penalty then took it away
I said hey fuc% the SFA
you say that we were paranoid
But we know what you said
Fuc# the SFA!!! – Quadrofenians.
Which game was that ?
Maggie,
The SFA do not believe any rules have been broken, a liquidated member must reapply and be accepted into the bottom tier, Rangers reapplied and were accepted in the bottom tier. You are a Celtic fan, your interest conflicts with the interests of the SFA, but please do not confuse cognitive bias with justice.
The push for season ticket sales begins in earnest.
What shall Worthington will make of it?
The John Brown piece will be even more interesting.
@Raymillan
A nice wee bit of spin by the Mail, but doesn’t really help clear up the matter.
It was clear to everyone Sevco Scot got the title deeds. It is how they came by them that is in dispute, and what %age is owned by wo.
Until the title deeds situation is resolved, will the Sevconians be known as the undeed?
More worrying still, now that Imran Ahmad appears to have been exposed as the Ibrokes mole, what will they do when the moling doesn’t stop?
@barcabuster
If Green and Ahmad were as confident as Stockbridge has to be then they would still be there fine-tuning the milking machine.
Their engineered ‘escape’ smacks off a realisation that this is the time to go because really good spivs truly try to operate within the law. Stockbridge is interesting and has always been a real power behind the throne so it will be interesting to see how long he lasts because, in professional terms, he has a lot more to lose than most in this whole mess.
I still don’t see what’s actually in the bank and I suspoect we are getting very close to the £10 million mark. So we can expect Ali to return from the Wilderness any moment now clutching a chiselled tablet bearing the Rangers legend: Buy STs Now – your club needs you.
Whether that will be enough for Ally to retain his position has yet to be seen but possibly he will but I would expect at least a 25% wage reduction. He’ll take it for the good of the club and the fans and he might even sell his One Million shares to a true Rangers Man that the fans want. It certainly seems that an increasing number of Bears don’t include Ally or Cardigan in that category.
Still it will keep the summer interesting with succulent lamb firmly back on the menu – the gruel will follow although perhaps not humble pie.
Mmmm,,oh yes barca,it was obvious wasn’t it!
Is that the sound of furious backpedalling i hear?,,,spin this ya tube.
What part of my comment do you find factually incorrect Cam, to such an extent that you call me a tube? Did you have a rough night sitting in the watchie hut? Were the wee bhoys chucking stanes at you again? Oh there there,, poor diddums.
I don’t buy the Sunday Liam normally,actually i don’t do anything normally!
but i will head over and try to read the Deeds fable before i get ejected.
Just imagine if this “spin” was factual!!!,,,,,oh dear,,,quick Paul get the psychiatrists on standby.
The last few days of speculation of when the padlocks are going on,admin2,the SFO claims,Worthingtons,share trading being suspended,Bomber being right,Craigy being the best bhoy,,,it better all come true bhoys or the Camster is gonna haunt you lot for eternity.
@Niall Walker
April 28, 2013 at 12:43 am
You state as fact that the interest of Celtic fans conflict with the SFA. Were that to be the case would that be any different from the interests of the fans of any other club? Or are Celtic fans somehow different, for whatever reason/s to every other club?
There is also the slight problem that it is very hard to understand what the interests of the SFA actually are at times or of those who run it such is the secrecy involved. That is not to mention the unexplained changes in rules, new rules produced out of thin air and dodgy interpretations of rules to suit particular circumstances.
I also think that you might yourself display a fair dollop of confusing cognitive bias with justice, which you accuse others of, when you state: ‘A liquidated member must reapply and be accepted into the bottom tier’. You haven’t actually quoted the rule for that but there are some glaring problems with it as described by you.
When Sevco 5088 applied it was neither liquidated nor in admin and I struggle to understand how a liquidated legal entity could re-apply let alone ‘must’. By the very nature of the term the entity no longer legally exists so can’t reapply for anything. Most liquidated clubs are probably also not in a financial position to put together a re-entry vehicle unless there is something dodgy about the whole process or it is fuelled by moonbeams.
However Sevco 5088 did apply – You use the term ‘be accepted’ following the ‘re-application’ although ‘application’ is the correct term. But there is no guarantee of the ‘application’ being successful even if a vacant slot exists as there might be other contendors for it.
Obviously, if that were the case, there would require to be a selection process and although I am not a word-famous football administrration guru like CO I would have thought it perhaps important that financial stability would be a major issue in any application with any involvement to a club whose operating/holding company had been liquidated in case it happened again.
As I say perhaps from time to time you should try and look at the actions of the SFA from a broader perspective and decide whether it is actually fit for purpose as many don’t believe it is and that includes many Rangers fans and quite rightly so IMO.
ecojon,
The SPL and the CL spot is a two horse race, removing Rangers from the race benefits Celtic more than any other club, its simple business logic, I don’t blame you for wanting rid of Rangers but please don’t pretend its under the guise of sporting integrity. Celtic’s meteoric rise in profits and success is testimony to the advantages of having no real opposition.
As far as I am concerned no rules were broken to facilitate Rangers admission into the 3rd tier, and from a broader perspective removing 30-40 million from Scottish football cannot be viewed as beneficial to anyone other than Celtic. But you are entitled to fight your own corner and I do not expect you to agree with the SFA.
Spot on !
@Niall Walker
“no rules were broken” really ? Audited accounts ?
Oh and btw it IS about sporting integrity,if it’s not,then whats the point.
@ecojon
Thanks for that eco,brilliant as usual.
Poor wee Craigie,,the mortgage company don’t seem to have much faith in his future prospects.
Took a wee swatch on Gumtree for a castle going cheap,,,quick sale of the utmost priority.
I might give him a good tip,,,there’s a nice spot for a Big Issue seller at the Copland Rd subway station Craigie,,,help the homeless.
I like the story about the history of Castle Grant and the usage of the clan chiefs skull being used to store documents,,,”damn i could have swore i left those bloody deeds in there!”

Eco,could you read the morning papers to me? i can’t be bothered going to steal them.
Good god Eco 4 thumbs before brekkie!,,,having that wee bowl of semantics hasn’t agreed with you.
A serious question old bean,,,is the Sunday Mail story a fake up as the online edition doesn’t run it,,,in the interests of good footballing relations and Buddhist love,,,tell me if its a wind up and save a tired,burnt out old clatterer a walk to the shops.
