    Jeez, if I were Sevco I'd be saying it's just as well the now defunct Glasgow rangers don't exist, and leave their former players to sort out their tax bills like everybody else.

    Agree - statement incoming from the current version of the Hun makling it quite clear that they're NOT in any way associated with the previous version of the Hun ! Any such misunderstanding could affect future versions of the Hun when caught the next time !

    They may have to if the players go to court looking for the club to cover given the have side letters saying the club will do just that.

    If these EBT payments were found in a Court of Law to be remuneration which was not declared then de facto these payments were illegal. This gave the old Rangers an unfair advantage and they should, at the very least, should have had every trophy they won by cheating taken way.

    Back round to Leean Dempster and Rod Petrie ' moving on'. They should have taken this all the way.

    I know this has been done to death already but it makes my blood boil.

    However, it is nice to know that at least some of the participants are awaiting a call from HMRC.
    Aye, it has been done to death, but there are some determined to continue the borefest.

    Theres people dying homeless in the street and this is what makes your blood boil?

    Some people on here need to sort out what is and isnt "important" in life.........................

    I await the "you are just a Petrie apologist" responses

    You are a one trick pony, sporadically posting the same crap about Petrie on here every month or so with nothing new to say, just the same boring trolling.

    surely though "blood boil" is in this context on here. I have been "disgusted" at some stuff on football pitch and "disgusted" at reading some horrific crimes that have happened. Both in context of situation.

    You come on a football forum to post attacking someone for having warped priorities because they care about football. Just thought that was a bit funny.

    You are bang on the money.

    It was poor presentation of my point on my part. Certainly, I should have added that metaphorically speaking it makes my blood boil. My bad for not painstakingly pointing this out.

    Of course there are many things going on in the world which are far more serious and I accept that.

    Good to see Michael Stewart calling out King for the lying toerag that he is, even if Sevco fans do repeatedly fall for the same nonsense......

    Pressure building on King as each season passes. Sevco don't have the funds to compete, so look out for some ultra-dodgy financial shenanigans, extra strange SFA/ref decisions over the next 2 years as they try everything legal and illegal to prevent 10 IN A ROW :

    Celtic - 10 titles in a row
    The Rangers - 10 trophy-less seasons in the row

    King will be hounded back to SA if he doesn't stop 10IAR.

    If they really are trying to sign players like Greg Stewart and Hastie from Motherwell then they really are knackered. Decent SPL players but not a chance in hell they are going to elevate Sevco to seriously competing with Celtic.....

    2 more after that and Celtc will match the Old Huns' 54 titles. Their structural advantage is such that they'll have to seriously **** up for that not to happen.

    Depressing on one hand, but huge bags of Hun schadenfreude as compensation.

    A two horse race is no less depressing than a one horse race if yours is not one of the horses.
    Until we have some sort of salary cap system to encourage competition then we might as well enjoy the cheating bigots pain. Celtic’s revenue is still 4x that of sevco’s so the are going to need a massive stroke of luck to win a league v Celtic.

    I don't care that Sevco can't beat Celtc to the title but it's depressing that *nobody* else can.

    The Rangers. Almost certain they’ll bounce around between 2nd and 5th place for the next ten years.When Celtic do eventually lose the league it’ll more likely be to Aberdeen or Hibs.

    Absolutely - IMHO, the longer Celtc stop Rangers winning something, the better for Scottish football

    If they can stick it out long enough, Rangers will start to cut back on things, they can't spend enough to compete with Celtic and there's not enough value in the Europa League to justify spending loads to get there, so over time they end up much like the rest of us.

    Then we only need Celtic to have a bad season and you'll have 4 or 5 teams capable of winning the league, which is a good position to be in.

    I can't see how anyone can catch Celtic without a massive injection of money from somewhere. They are streets ahead on and off the pitch of anyone else in the country.

    Rangers can't keep up with them as it is, and so the gap is only going to get bigger.

    If that's the case then the SPFL will become nothing but an inconvenience to Celtc as they pursue their dream of Chamion's League group stages
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    No chance Hibs or Aberdeen will win it before Rangers. They have more season ticket holders than both clubs combined, we cannot come close to competing with them financially.

    Nope none of this will happen, Rangers will not cut back & be like the rest of us, Celtic will never have a bad season. It will always be the same old same old.

    "“I don’t know if Glasgow City Council has an anti-Loyal Order stance, or are trying to stop parades.”

    (From the linked article)

    They're not the smartest, are they? Very unconvincing supremacists. I just about pished myself laughing the one time I was unfortunate enough to stumble across a parade

    He admitted that the money wasn't currently available to settle the likely damages.

    that was after ashley's brief reminded him that the final cost could be in the millions of pounds


    oh dear, that's a shame
