All of a sudden the Shame's 9 in a row doesn't seem like such a great achievement after all. Let's be honest about it....they used illegal tactics to do it.

HAIL HAIL
ChrisBhoy

Explain...

Sorry mate but they won their nine before ebts, where it does matter is they won 5 during the ebt cheating era which has stopped us getting 11/12 in a row

Just like you melters winning the league this season, handed it to you!

They were overspending way before the use of EBTs.... You haven't had to pay anything to do with EBTs yet so why are rangers effectively insolvent ? Who are the melters, what league do they play in ?

See all these dum bears that have handed us the league this year how has it been handed to us we turned around a 15 or is it 9 point( we will go with 9 because we know your club are good at fudging figures) lead to a 4 point lead. We are still in both cups in Scotland was that also handed to us? Get over yourself the team you support has been run buy a del boy and managed by his brother Rodney this is why we have turned it around nothing to do with the 10 point deducted for your teams financial failings.

Ian(For every £1 Celtic spend Rangers will pay their creditors 10p.)

Who handed it to us Nobby ? your club , through cheating and tax dodging .

Transpires that Dundee Utd and Dunfermline have been shafted by Whyte. Nae flies on Peter Lawell, he and Desmond saw this coming years ago and devised a strategy which is now coming to fruition. Think Lawell's also been vindicated in requesting the ticket money up front from that bumbling crook!

Evening ed. How u mate? I was watching BBC Scotland news and I couldn't believe mr salmond and his crew looking to help save rangers. The sport minister worried about jobs... What about the jobs at Dundee United, hearts and Dunfermline the people ibrokes own money to.

They give out about the green brigade bringing politics into football what about themselves. I watched Paul McBride on YouTube the man seems to know what he is talking about.

bigirishmac {Ed007's Note - I couldn't believe it myself BIM. Condoning not paying taxes is shocking. Tell that to nurses, teachers etc and the millions that have lost their jobs during the recession, maybe jobs could have been saved if companies just stopped paying PAYE for nearly a year.}

Very true ed coming from a Hearts man who's club are now facing not getting £800k owed from the club he was defending

Ed i want to complain i find it very hard to believe in this day and age someone can get away with implying ibrox.. inland revenue arena is abbreviated to mean ira Irish republican army.lets not kid ourselves on here that this sick joke is a misunderstanding a minority of Celtic fans seem to attach themselves to this terrorist organisation so to post this comment is very silly and i would like it removed and chrisbhoy should think before posting this bile. {Ed007's Note - It has been posted numerous times before, away and grow up.}

Oh wind yer neck in shameite.....and go and cry into yer beer. Youre like a big child.....ed i want to complain......i dont even know what youre talking about, it was you who mentioned terrorist organisations, not me. I never said a word.

I'm offended by every Rangers fan shouting and signing off WATP, mostly because don't understand what they are saying.

We are the People.

As in God's people. Used by Rangers fans (for example) to demonstrate their superiority over their rivals. Often chanted.
Psalms 95:7 For he is our God; and we are the people (WATP) of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice.

But ye can work away and post it because you can, simples.

Old annonomous keyboard warrior, you need to grow up and stop looking to cause trouble. I'm an LFC fan and show no legience to Celtic and can see that as a joke, if anything taking the p out of Celtic. If you don't like the site how about you don't visit again. Trying to cause a drama this is why I hate annonomous posters. Sorry for the rant ed lol. Keep up the good work.

Smithy {Ed007's Note - Cheers Smithy, some people are just naturally pathetic, it has been posted numerous times and I did check if it was ok. If you hate anonymous posters you are always welcome here, there is an abundance on here compared to LFC, Utd or Arsenal etc, it is hard to distinguish who they support at times so mostly they get deleted. Leaving a tag helps conversations and interaction move along.}

The Psalms 95:7 post was me, dont hate me for being anonymous hate me for being forgetful, humble apologies
Nevis

Exactly Ed why not leave a name. No one will no who you are anyway and like you seay it gets conversations flowing and is good for the site. The annonomous posters on the LFC site stop me posting on there as much with the negativity and the slagging off of players and Kenny. I do enjoy it on here as its much more of a laugh and most people on here take part in the banter and have a laugh. Also Ed surely yhat clause to cut the TV deal must be bull? How can it work if all TV money should be split between all clubs? I think you would survive but I worry for the smaller clubs.
JFT96
Smithy {Ed007's Note - As I said Smithy, could Sly tell the EPL they want a Man Utd vs LFC title decider the last day of every season? That is illegal and basically match/league rigging. The SPL is set up like La Liga, the big 2 get the most money from TV, CFC's annual income from TV is 3% of it's total income, hardly bank busting is it? Even if Sly walked away they would need to pay up due money on the contract and then there is the possibility of clubs suing Rangers for loss of income, Rangers knew what what going to happen when they agreed to the TV deal, so they have basically lied to Sly that Rangers (as an SPL member) could meet the criteria they were signing up for.}

Don't be silly Nevis mate, lol. I hate the annonomous key board warriors, who cause trouble, moan and winge. If you put a good, honest post and don't want to put your name fine, I just don't understand why more people don't.
JFT96
Smithy

Only 3% of income from TV deal ed ?
Didn't know that.
So Sky is all that important then. What's the largest income generator for CFC, turnstiles ?
The Real KB
ps saw what you did earlier. no offence intended there obviously. you've gotta be careful up here ! {Ed007's Note - No worries about that KB mate. CFC's income is season tickets/investors/advertising. We have the 10th highest matchday revenue in Europe, Rangers are 14th, Man City are 18th. I'll e-mail you the report I have on it, it is heavy going but I'm sure your 'supplier' will be able to explain the mathematics of it lol.}

Thanks for the answer Ed mate understand now. Also now understand that it won't effect you at all if they survive or don't. Thaks for clearing that up for me. It could also help clubs like Motherwell if they manage to get in Europe next year to.Cheers mate.

Smithy {Ed007's Note - No probs Smithy, drop by any time mate. Even LFC fans are welcome here, apart from Blur Wayne, he is barred, I have enough on the Man Utd site with her!!!! :-)

Maybe rangers when they fold should have some kind of coalition with hearts to keep them both afloat, something like heart of midlothian rangers club or HMRC for short

Awwww, it's just no fair!

Miko x

True Blue to be honest and I know I might get shot down by my fellow Celtic fans..I am a wee bit bored with it now and just want to get on with celebrating Celtic winning hopefully the treble (although a tad worried about Dundee Utd in the next round of the Scottish Cup) and I'm not having a go saying that ! It has given me a bit of joy watching Rangers embarrassment over the last couple of days as I'm sure it would you had it been Celtic.

I've taken the Monday 19th March off my work as i'm hoping we start with the League Cup. I just want to get on with supporting my beloved hoops now. Mrs E

System of a down when rangers deserve to die garlar07

Lubo25, for some reason they do not like me calling them that on their page and have complained to their editor, seems that he will no longer post anything with "ostrich" in it (hee hee we will see!)
Maybe offer to buy some bears an "ostrich burger" LOl Timalloy

15 Feb 2012 18:15:44
I see still no cracked crests in the Daily Ranger ..typical..".DH

Surely your complaint would be better sent to the D.R than on a forums page

It's not a complaint it's an observation and it's a bit of Celtic Banter!........DH

15 Feb 2012 16:28:53
Now that HMRC own Rangers it has been rumoured that Ibrox will be renamed the Inland Revenue Arena. Seeing as Celtic Park is abbreviated to CP, what would that mean for the Shame's new name?? lol

Hey ed, just want to know your opinion on how all of this could potentially affect us in the long run. IMO we will struggle to flourish in scotland without them and I think it will have a negative affect on us especially if they do go under. If they were to go under I believe we must try and negotiate some sort of a move down south even if it is to one of the lower leagues. I think Lawwell is only kidding himself on if he feels we dont need rangers in scotland IMO

Fair play will be brill for the wee teams

UEFA have just said if Rangers EBT-funded European exploits are null and voided, it was Fiorentina fans who rioted in Manchester

......BREAKING NEWS.......

Due to Admin at ibrokes the SPL have declared there will be a minutes laughter before every SPL game this weekend.

Lubo25

MAKE IT F-CKING HAPPEN!!

Get every away fan at Easter Road on Sunday to laugh for one minute on the 54th minute (number of titles...will be their last) or 72nd minute (year they were sh-t out in the 19th century).

The Hibees are more than likely to join in as their dislike for Rangers is second only to ours.

If other SPL clubs get a sniff of this they too might be tempted, especially Aberdeen and Dundee United.

Furthermore, the Hibs match is televised...extra lulz.

15 Feb 2012 12:56:54
Hi Ed,
First post. Ex Scot living in Israel and have been a Celtic fan for almost 50 years
Cant see how the Rangers saga can be good for us or for Scottish football. Having at least two strong teams in the SPL is vital for competition, media interest etc = money. A week Rangers will disencourage Celtic to invest to improve the team and so make it difficult to compete in Europe and less attractive for potential players to come to Scotland {Ed007's Note - Welcome to the site buddy.}

Well the board haven't exactly kept up with rangers spending in the past so don't see what difference it'll make with investment in the team etc. {Ed007's Note - In the last five seasons CFC have spent £35,397,000 on transfers, Rangers have spent £33,310,000. So there is not much difference there.}

Ed as you know the differance is that Celtic have recouped all of that in transfers while Rangers have only recouped about £20 million. The club would continue to be run on sensible grounds

David {Ed007's Note - I agree David, but it doesn't matter where the money came/comes from, it has/is still being spent. I am delighted with the way the club has been run off the field, the odd grievance over 1 or 2 signings but I don't blame the board for that apart from Fletcher, but once English interest was shown we needed to better their financial offer and didn't. The figures also show the 'skint Rangers' was a myth, although it was money they didn't have anyway. CFC are one of the best ran football clubs in a financial sense.}

I honestly dont get all this weakened Rangers will affect the SPL Scottish Football and CFC badly. I remember Liam Bradys tenure when he fought the good fight against Rangers superstars and before him Billy McNeil who was pretty much hamstrung in the transfer market. Rangers had Souness bringing the spine of the current England team to the dark side. Was there any talk then of a weakened Celtic? No, only a strong Rangers was discussed at that time. The result is the same a GAP between the sides. Earlier when John Greig was manager of Rangers they were woeful but Scottish football flourished in those times with a strong Aberdeen and DU. I know times have changed but given the lack of evidence that this will be a disaster as many so called football pundits are predicting i think we should all relax a bit. And also perhaps remember how not only Rangers minded people but the Scottish establishment sat back while our beloved CFC was going to the wall, I dont remember the debate about how bad that may have been for Scottish football!

Rangers are set to launch a Dvd of their History from 1873-2012 the dvd will be titled FROM SASHES TO ASHES

Morning all, have anyone else of yoose noticed that Rankers points total on this new and updated league table probably makes about as much sense (to the outsider) as their account books?
RenegadePea

15 Feb 2012 04:57:05
Ed - I'm sure I've read on here before but could you confirm if (big if) Rangers or Celtic or anyone for that matter were to join the English League, would they have to start in the conferences therefore requiring 6-7 promotions to compete in the Premier League?

GoldCoastBhoy {Ed001's Note - nobody knows because there is no plan in place to allow either in. Informal discussions have been held, but there is simply no interest from English clubs in having either or both of the Old Firm clubs in the English league.}

15 Feb 2012 00:27:38
It's been some day Ed , on holiday this week and haven't got anything done cos av been glued to the pantomine on ssn, i reckon in the big picture they've made an enemy today and one you dont want to mess about with i.e ( Her Majestys Revenue & Customs) i never like yourself thought liquidation was a possibility but now i believe this could happen. I'll sleep well tonight knowing the world is a better place with them in admin( its a start) continues tomorrow, Goodnight fellow gloaters.........Stevie

14 Feb 2012 23:45:47
ANyone like me think it is possible these bumper deals effectivley doubling the top players wages have been offered with the possibility of the players going from now untill the end of the season without pay? Basically saying they were told, get double now and nothing later? Gives the club administrators a stronger hand when flogging the assets.

We all suspected this was all on the cards anyways, although i always expected it after the tribunal or in the close season. This thought ties in with the point someone raised on the rumoours page about people being told they wont be getting paid.

THoughts anyone?


Evinguu

So what you're saying is that the likes of Alan McGregor get offered £25k a week but in effect only get £12.5k a week.

What are you on. Total and utter p1sh.

Well this week he's on NOWT

Ok ok i give the first poster that my point was not so eloquently put, there is a lot of empasis of reading into what i was meaning rather than just taking it literally as such.

Shall i try again ....

Meaning i suspect that WHyte told the playing staff what would probably happen in the new year, to keep the top players at the club happy he offered them all bumper new deals that the club could not afford on the premise that they may go the last 2 or 3 months of their rangers career without a regular wage, hence why he doubled a lot of them.. Thus showing the players there was no need to jump ship just yet or in january as they are being handomley rewarded and are actually up on what they would have earned anyways regardless. It also put rangers in a stronger barganing position when selling the players. However my main point hidden in all of what i tried to put last night was that it is becoming very apparent that it may never have been his intentions to fulfill these or any other contracts!

So what am i on... well im on a tangent thats what, lighten up!

Evinguu
