    No, which is why Celtic went straight to HMRC and paid the tax.

    Corrupt as ****. Complete and utter disgrace but absolutely no surprise. This country needs a complete overhaul of the football authorities. Basically those cheating filthbags can do whatever they like with impunity. This is utterley radical but I would be happy to not turn up for home games against Sevco if the movement was strong enough.

    Using an EBT was not an football offence in itself. The offence was making payments which hadn't been declared in the contracts sent to the SFA or league. Celtic used an EBT for Juninho's severance pay i.e the balance of his declared contract. As it happens Billy Dodds only had an EBT from Rangers for the same reason so was also never an ineligible player.

    Don't think you'd get very good odds down the bookie


    Their reluctance to cooperate with a review damns them.

    The main Board consists of eight members: the Scottish FA Office Bearers (Alan McRae, President; Stewart Regan, Chief Executive; and Rod Petrie, Vice-President), plus Ralph Topping (SPFL), Michael Mulraney (SPFL), Tom Johnston (Scottish Junior FA) and independent non-executive directors, Barrie Jackson and Gary Hughes.

    That's why the Hibs fans have been ignored on here. Petrie is in this up to his neck. The man is a disgrace.

    What the last paragraph actually says

    "Given the nature of the issues, it will be impossible to satisfy any supporters other than those of The Rangers. Every other club official and every other member club can gtf. Nevertheless the Board of the Scottish FA is not fit for purpose. It has acted without integrity and in the best interests of The Rangers at all times. However, anyone who wishes to discuss this matter is welcome to contact me directly on 0141 616 1690... though I'll just let it ring or it will be permanently engaged".

    Even if he voted against he should be resigning in protest.

    No, we don't.
    I wonder if the club were holding off on releasing a statement until this became public.
    Every gimmick hungry yob,
    Digging gold from rock and roll
    Grabs the mic to tell us,
    He'll die before he's sold.

    People get lost in the complexity.

    Rangers did not disclose full details of player contracts. (Flatly denied existence of side letters outwith declared details).

    Players weren't eligible.

    The tax is between them and HMRC.

    An independent review is exactly that..independent. It doesn't need the SFA to agree to its setting up.

    If one goes ahead, depending on who sets it up, its terms of reference and its powers, they could be forced to participate.

    That's what's needed more than anything. An independent review. We need the truth of what happened. Who knew what and when?
