Chick Young and Billy Dodds both very annoying on Sportsound.
Young - "we need to draw a line under this, the players have said they did nothing wrong".
So that's it, is it Chick? If the players say so, we should just drop it?
He seems to fail to understand the meaning of the word "investigation".

I'm surprised we haven't had any leaks of the decision so far. Hope it's not a damp squib like the tax case.

Radio Scotland just mentioned that there will be leaks, as Sevco and the SFA will get the report earlier than 12 noon.

The players are only hired by the club and IMO its not up to them to fathom out whether the wages they get are legitimate.
IMO its upto the club to be working within the rules and regulations they are bound by and, at a push, their handsomely paid advisers/agents* to pay due diligence.
No, the players can keep what they won on the pitch but the club has to be severely dealt with for systematically breaking the rules.
*If not that then WTF are they paid for? They have to provide a service which is more than lining their own pockets.Space to let

The commission has ruled it was necessary for Rangers to declare the payments and, as such, has declared players improperly registered were ineligible to participate in league matches.Last edited by Saorsa; 28-02-2013 at 10:16 AM.

So Spartans can get thrown out of the Cup for fielding a player ineligible because his registration lacked a second signature but the Huns get to keep league titles gained through years of fielding payers ineligible because they were getting huge extra off the books payments in the name of aggressive tax avoidance?
Welcome to Scottish football - where the rules* are applied with a great big dose of fear and a massive dollop of favour.
* just as soon as we've made them up.

Alasdair Lamont @BBCAlLamont
The judgement from Lord Nimmo Smith's independent commission will say no unfair competitive advantage was gained on the field.
I'm not sure how they can judge that?
Alasdair Lamont @BBCAlLamont
The fine has been imposed for an "administrative error" as non-disclosure had effect of rendering all the registered players ineligible.

A white wash was to be expected of course, but they're not Sevco's titles, they belong to a dead club. Total joke though!

The establishment closes ranks. Masonic handshakes for all, Brother Nimmo to end the reading of the inquiry's findings with the phrase 'we are the people'.
It will be interesting to hear the reasons given for this decision.HIBERNIAN FC - ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY SINCE 1875

Quite incredible.
Rangers oldco has been fined £250,000 by an independent commission investigating allegations of failing to correctly register players. Full details of the judgement are to be published at noon, but it had earlier emerged that Rangers would not be stripped of league titles.
"The judgement states that side letters should have been disclosed, but oldco management failed to do this. But the commission found no unfair competitive advantage was gained on the field. Non-disclosure had effect of rendering all the registered players ineligible, so a fine was imposed for an administrative error.
"Rangers won the league five times in the period under investigation 2001-2011, in 2003, 2005, 2009, 2010 and 2011."
This bit is incredible how are they calling it an administrative error when it was failure to disclose payments which render the players ineligible. How they can say they gained no competitive advantage makes no logical sense whatsoever. Quite unbelievable.

the whole thing should have been handled by UEFA. Nobody is going to accept this farce except deadco fans, but bottom line it's hugely damaging to the remaining credibility of Scottish football.
