More suggestions of the spineless "leadership" of Scottish football negotiating with the guilty party.

Unfortunately, they let themsleves down with this statement...."The SFA will decide on August 10 whether Rangers broke their rules by using EBTs and “dual contracts”, "

That's not true, of course, and therefore casts doubt on the rest of the article.

There's some p15h written in that article!

Does anyone else think they can hear the fat lady gargling in preparation?

I go. After months and months and months and months and months of apparent bending over for the Huns, it's as if there's some sort of equal and opposite reaction (c I Newton) taking place, and the Huns are about to be hammered. Flat.

NEWCO Rangers made their first appearance behind closed doors.

Boss Ally McCoist and No 2 Kenny McDowall watched from the training-ground balcony as Gers beat Airdrie United last night.

Security men at Murray Park outnumbered the players’ kids who looked on as Lewis McLeod and Lee Wallace scored the first goals of the new Gers era.

Ian Durrant was the man in the dugout as a Rangers side in all-white strips were always on top against Jimmy Boyle’s side.

Lee McCulloch had already gone close before youngster McLeod fired Gers in front with a powerful 20-yard drive after 15 minutes.

Kirk Broadfoot went close with a header before Gers increased their lead when Wallace turned the ball home in a goalmouth scramble eight minutes before the interval.

The Diamonds had ex-Dundee United stopper Garry Kenneth at the heart of their defence and he enjoyed a physical tussle with McCulloch.

The experienced striker led his line well with Alejandro Bedoya playing off him, and saw a header just after the hour well saved by Airdrie’s trialist keeper.

Scott Gallacher replaced Neil Alexander in the Gers goal as the Third Division new boys stayed in control.

But he was beaten when Airdrie pulled one back from the penalty spot and Gallacher was then forced into a good stop as Airdrie battled for an equaliser.

Kal Naismith and Matt Clark replaced Andy Mitchell and Robbie Crawford for Gers late on.

The referee had to warn an Airdrie player for a comment about Rangers being a ‘Third Division team’ but they held on to win.

RANGERS: Alexander (Gallacher); Cole, Broadfoot, Hegarty, Wallace, Mitchell (Clark), Hutton, McLeod, Crawford (Naismith), Bedoya, McCulloch.

I guess swally can't count?.... he's been bleating on about not having enough players to make up a team!!!!!

If Sevco were trying to use the fact they didn't have enough players, they've just shot themselves in the foot.... again!..... Transfer ban now heading their way

PS I like the fact their new homestrip is all white LOL

How is Gary Kenneth playing for lowly Airdrie now? Wasn't he in the full national squad hardly any time ago?

[ballengeich]

Airdrie United lost their previous game 2-1 to Stirling Albion. Division 3 could be a close-run thing this season.

Nope, that got me thinking as well.

If Robin Hood stole from the rich to give to the poor, Gisborne did so in reverse. Sounds like a 'Rangers' man to me

A club now valued at £10m...roughly twice what was paid to the creditors for it.

Considering the £5.5m D&P charged appeared to include player registrations that have now left the club I would have thought the value should have diminished. The only asset that has been added has been a possible entry to D3 (still dependent on SFA agreement ).....can't see how that is worth £4.5m so can only conclude that this is clear evidence that D&P failed to extract a fair price for the initial assets in the first place.

I reckon there's a fair bit of mileage in that one yet

So Charlie is selling shares in the club at £1m for 10%. 50% gets him his £5m back and he still has a majority shareholding.

That said, it's not a bad investment for the assets alone, never mind the early opportunity to double your money when Bomber Brown wades in with his consortium bid.

The problems will start to rise though, when it becomes apparent that there's not enough money to cover the running costs. It doesn't look like there are any "investors" with large disposable wads of cash ready to plough into the club. And why would any one of them do it, when the other investors aren't able to do the same?

See they played a friendly last night
