Many a true word said in jest. There's a thread on FF where a number of punters are suggesting that this whole sorry affair was instigated and orchestrated by Desmond and his 'Celtic' connections.

This is much more likely http://t.co/gWlQgUXO4i Doncaster at his best

This Rob Petrie bloke sounds like a good guy ;-)

Fairly well written story though and opens more cans of worms!

Celtc are saints and it's all a Doncaster/Sevco plot to down the upstanding honourable fighters for truth and justice that are Celtc FC.

The same Celtic whose hypocrite fans howl their outrage at Rangers on Twitter and on blogs but don't actually attend games as the top tier at Parkhead has seen more action from pigeons than actual bums on seats.
The very same Celtic whose owner Mr Desmond called Rangers a great club and wants back in the top flight.

The same Celtic who's CEO Peter Lawell states that every year Rangers are not in the top flight his club loses £10m. He's also had to rip up 2015's Financial Plan as the presence of both group stages Champions League football and Rangers in the Premiership are both looking like non starters meaning the sale of Virgil Van Dijk, the last asset worth a fee is an utter certainty to the first team who wafts 10m in his direction.

The same Celtic who cannot pay 250k to release Gary Mackay-Steven from his contract and have had to sign him on a pre-contract.

Ignoring the pro Celtic spin it paints a bad image of Doncaster in collusion with Craig Whyte...

And that Doncaster and Regan predicted all sorts of catastrophe if Rangers were not allowed to stay in the top flight (true), that Sky would pull the TV deal if Rangers left the top flight (vehemently denied by Sky) and that their behaviour has harmed Scottish football, making it impossible thus far to attract a sponsor for SPFL (yup, I'll buy that).

Basically, Doncaster is an incompetent and should be sacked.

Also, that Petrie was the main man trying to push the new SPFL TV channel, prob backed by Celtic, but Rangers collapse scuppered that (again, sounds plausible).

Apparently Kings bears where planning there move for next week so not surprised that Ashley has made his move.

Thing to remember is that both he and the easedales simply don't give a **** what the fans think, they will do what they want regardless. This plan has been in place for too long for them to just walk away because some rangers men bought shares. If anything, these rangers men losing there money on shares when the club is put into admin will help Ashley increase his grip in the long term.

Be interesting to see if whyte now drops his claims on rangers, a wee rumour I heard today suggests he will. No idea if it's true or not as the source wasn't great.

Said all along that they are swimming with the sharks now that Ashley and his guys are running rings round the "The rangers men"

Hilarious that the newboy fans seem to intend to take legal action to prevent "legalised theft" as there doesn't actually seem to be anything they themselves can legally do to prevent the stadium being pawned and Ashley doing what he likes with that as well. Fat blokes in England tops F ing about religious leaders and singing about a long dead protestant king etc ain't going to be enough I fear.

Maybe even wee Wullie blue nose might have to do some walking away? http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=...D3AE34A923106C

Nope.
Seeing through the agendas and the moronic nonsense of one side of the Old Firm doesn't mean one is pro the other.
They can both stick their bigotry where the sun doesn't shine.

I think they are saying that Doncaster is actually worse than incompetent.

The overall premise of the piece is Doncaster & others were aware long before Oldco went to the wall that this was happening & they basically lied or didn't inform interested parties in order to pursue their own agenda of limiting the football damage to Oldco.
TBFto the author he strongly suggests Lawwell was heavily involved in the conspiracy & he seems to abhor the whole concept of the Old Firm. I thought there were some parts of the article which required a leap of faith but I could accept the overall premise.

Well there's no such thing as an EGM for starters.

Great timing from him though, will stoke the fires a bit more tonight

Yeah, I deleted my post after I saw Andy's, and was going to reword it.

Not sure about the EGM bit... I will defer to Andy there, but it's getting hot.

Is that the case, or is it just shoddy reporting from STV?

In an aside....from Twitter.

"Hell will freeze over before Mike Ashley takes control of Ibrox".

.... pauses to look at the state of the pitch....

**Famous Fiver** · 16-01-2015 06:25 PM

Was it our friend Mr Regan , or was it Mr Doncaster who predicted' social unrest?'

Seems to be coming true if current BBC reports from outside Ibrox are accurate.

Police horses called in. Horses 1 Crowd 0.

Is there the power in these meetings to get rid of the board?

How appropriate for them. Genetically Modified I assume?
