So finally the Rangers they say is still alive is to be officially liquidated. That must put to bed all the history nonsense. New club, new history.

43 and counting

Believable14 Unbelievable3

SFA cannot strip titles from new sevco rangers as they have never played in the SPL As defined by Nimmo smith.

The titles MUST be taken from the EBT running historic rangers (founded 1872 and being liquidated). Green's Rangers have never run an illegal EBT scheme.

Agree10 Disagree2

BDO been charged with continuing to recover funds for Creditors.
Question: In 5 months how much funds did D&P recover for Creditors? How much was paid to creditors and who got those funds?

Agree9 Disagree2

The 5 SPL titles in question need a champion team declared. Otherwise Rangers have won in denying those titles to their opposition.
Those seasons were not null and void just because one club cheated.
The second place runners up deserve those titles.
Not to award the titles to the runners up will require very very good reasoning made public.

Agree8 Disagree4

Old historical Rangers stripped to 49 and Celtic confirmed as 48. With new sevco Rangers never having played in the SPL ON ZERO.

Agree10 Disagree1

I want them titles stripped but I do not want us to have them. We win ours fair and square.

Celtic on 48 and counting,
Would it be 14 in a row , world record ?

Agree7 Disagree1

Celtic have honestly won 14 in a row. Rangers cheating to try and catch Martin O'Neil and Gordon Strachan.

If the SPL do not correctly award the titles to Celtic then every fan of every club deserves their ticket monies back! For a non competition on those years.

Former Celtic players believe they won their SPL medals on those years only to be cheated by having the cards stacked against them through a club cheating.

Agree8 Disagree1

The punishment should fit the crime. Stripping titles does not fit the crime....if Rangers are found guilty. Juventus were stripped of a title for match-fixing, Rangers didn't fix any matches.

Helicopter Sunday. Celtic were 1-0 up against Motherwell, the title was in the bag. Scott McDonald scored two goals in the last minutes of the game to end Celtic's chances of winning the league. Please tell me how Rangers' "cheating" was the key factor in winning the title on this day? Celtic lost the league.

Rangers also finished 3rd a few seasons later. So, by your claim Rangers were cheating, why would they cheat to finish 3rd?

TTG

Agree0 Disagree6

Did someone in judgement not equate it to the same level as "match-fixing?

TTG trhe very fact that you had players on th epark that you could have no way near afforded would suggest that the league would not have come down to "helicopter" Sunday. Its that simple.......

Your arrogance is astounding, Rangers have been cheating the British tax payer and the paying Scottish football fans for at least a decade.

Agree7 Disagree1

@TTG: The old Rangers may have their titles stripped, it is one of the 18 sanctions available to the SPL. If found guilty they will be punished due to failing to register players correctly, meaning they should never have been eligible to play.

Yes Celtic lost 2 late goals to Motherwell, but if Rangers hadn't been buying players they would never have been able to attract by giving them more money tax free, do you really think Rangers would have been able to take the league to the last game of the season?

With regards to finishing 3rd, that can only be put down to terrible scouting and player recruitment, poor managing and a strong Hearts team, you only need to look inwards as to why you "cheated your way to third" that season.

Agree4 Disagree1

Rangers could afford them though. They wouldn't have joined otherwise. Bob Malcolm, Stevie Smith, Chris Burke, Nacho Novo, Marvin Andrews etc were players Rangers couldn't afford? Spare me the Scheidt bud....

TTG

Agree0 Disagree5

Alex McLeish, to my recollection hardly spent a penny on transfer fees. Alex Rae, Dado Prso, Marvin Andrews, Paolo Vanoli, Gregory Vign.al, Sotirios Kyriakos to name a few didn't require transfer fees. Rangers couldn't afford transfer fees at this time, yet beat Celtic to the league title. Celtic who had the likes of Petrov, Hartson, Sutton, Larsson, Agathe etc. Rangers didn't beat Celtic once during Helicopter Sunday season.
It's easy for you lot to say we won the league because we "cheated" but just be honest with yourselves, Celtic just weren't good enough, even with Hartson, Sutton, Petrov etc etc.

TTG {Ed007's Note - List all Rangers major signings as well TTG...including the list that are known to have been paid by EBT dual contract methods. You are comparing CFC star players to Rangers poorer players. Don't twist the facts to suit your point, you are sounding more and more like Scottish MSM now.}

Agree0 Disagree3

Ed,

Compare both Helicopter Sunday teams and make your own mind up as to who had the best team. Everybody knows who the better team was that season, only that team didn't win the league. For people to say Rangers cheated to attract better quality of players than Celtic is garbage. The same Rangers team finished 3rd! Everybody knows fine well Rangers had a poor squad under McLeish. Winning the league had nothing to do with cheating.

TTG {Ed007's Note - How many of McLeish team were paid in that way? You seem infatuated with Helicopter Sunday, maybe that was the first time the league had been won purely by football with no cheating. You're making feeble excuses mate that we have all been through time and time again It swings between funny and boring, there is nothing in between, especially interesting.}

Agree0 Disagree3

Ed,

Every league Rangers won was by football....

TTG {Ed007's Note - You keep believing that, we'll stick to the truth, or as you will probably know it 'All One Big Timmy Conspiracy'}

Agree0 Disagree4

Thats the season the ref and linesman conjured up a penalty for nothing at tynecastle to gift gers the points.artybhoy

Agree2 Disagree0

The rangers man above should stick to the facts. The crime was fielding ineligible players. The punishment for fielding an ineligible player is to have the match declared a 3-0 defeat. Juventus are an ita-lian team, thats an-oth-er cou-ntry. The rules are written and established and your ex-club were contracted to abide by them. They broke that contract and obtained prize money and other revenues by cheating. If the punishment truly fitted the crime this money would be redirected but they are bankrupt. No amount of smoke and mirrors will hide these simple, yet for some hard to grasp, facts.
Yorkiebhoy.

TTG, so I see it is your turn to use the alphabet today. Please tell "POB" "NYTABOW" "BB" etc that for a small fee, wee Pat and I can get you access to much more. Or how about the Russian or Chinese alphabets, just place an order with us as we are both men of letters ( we both used to be postmen)
lol Timalloy

Agree2 Disagree0

If you're looking for stats TTG try this.

All 11 starting players, all 7 subs and your Manager on helicopter Sunday had EBTs.

As a result your team consisted 100% of players where Rangers illegally evaded payment of income tax and failed to register the players full contractual terms with the SFA.

If Rangers had paid these players through PAYE they would have had to find several million pounds extra to do so.

This is money Rangers didn't have.

As such, they would not have been able to afford the majority of these players and would have had lesser quality players on smaller wages.

The result would have been that you would not have won the league.

However, the point is, you cheated, you cheated big style, in every game between 2001 and 2010.

Systematic financial doping on an industrial scale.

The fact you didn't win the league in some seasons is irrelevant. The point is, you were attempting to through illegal activities.

And before you come back with the lame old soundbite that the FTT hearing and SPL investigation have not made a decision yet. Take it as read, you will lose both cases and be recognised the world over as cheats.

And your cheating is no different than match fixing.

CHEATING ON THIS SCALE = LOSS OF TITLES.

Hang your head in shame.

K-Dot.

@ TTG Rangers had a poor squad, but that squad would have been even poorer if EBTs hadn't have been misused. Players were receiving over half a million pounds over the duration of their contract they would not have had the scheme not been abused. Dado Prso received £1.9million, a Champions League quality player, do you not think this was a massive factor on him joining? Even Ostenstad received £390,00 from it, you couldn't even win through cheating 6 out of 11 years, one year you were even beaten by hearts. Face it, your team was morally corrupt and your new team is looking more and more like scam everyday with the lies and deceit.

for me the next scotland manager would be WGS, but i dont think he would touch it with a bargepole, i will prob take pelters here but i would love to see harry redknapp in the job, will never happen but we should be looking for a manager that has a proven record , redknapp certainly has that........ let the abuse commence lol........... bhoywonder

Believable3 Unbelievable1

Scotland couldn't afford Harry or his dog! The sfa will go for the cheapest option like a Billy Davies, wee Gordon should get it, his record for Celtic speaks for itself but probably won't because he aint a bluenose. johnbhoy79

Agree5 Disagree0

No manager could do anything with that Scotland team. Everybody is blamin the manager, it's the players who should be getting the criticism....

Agree2 Disagree1

The money they waste sacking **** managers, they would be a lot better off getting a good one. Lets get Harry with big Joe as his number 2

Craig Whyte on the lunchtime news today, breaking cover for damage limitation. As BDO move in to liquidate historical Rangers founded 1872, Whyte getting his mitigation out there into the public domain.
Problem is the truth hurts and doesn't square with previous lies by others.
Will he and others escape legal consequences for their actions?

Believable8 Unbelievable0

Nike dropping their sponsorship of Lance Armstrong. Who would link their brand to sporting cheats?
As Rangers EBT investigation soon to declare cheating, will their sponsors do the right thing? Likewise?

Agree7 Disagree0

Charles Green was asked publicly if He knew Whyte, had meetings with Whyte or Whyte's associates or representatives prior to bidding for Rangers Assets to D&P. Green said No. Now Whyte says he found Green and brought him to Rangers and D&P.
Green now proven as lying yet again. His position as CEO surely untenable, lying to the public and Rangers fans.

"The Truth and Nothing But The Truth?"

CW: I am telling the Truth, Honest bears...
CG: Naw he isnae, I am telling the truth... Honest
D&D: We are the only ones telling the truth.. Honest
SDM: I have always told the truth, CW duped me..

Lord Hodge "Ok fellows only way to settle this is for you all to take a wee lie detector test.. Guys, guys come back.....

In other news CG confirms that £17m pledged so far from share issue.. HONEST!.....( Timalloy note...
Is it not good to see my Ostriches come back..)

Isn't it remarkable and a coincidence that sdm and Rangers directors had been using Ticketus for years as a stop gap cash source?

Then out of the blue, Craigie boy turns up, with £22m in the bank from Ticketus? Never having met SDM or knowing Rangers finances.

D&P director as part of Whytes takeover team knew up front Whyte was using Ticketus loan to buy the club.

Believable6 Unbelievable1

Wow feels like a time warp all this sh*t was posted months ago. they died and now zombie rangers are staggering about the 3rd div. Who cares about CW, SDM and ticketus.
DB77

Agree5 Disagree4

DB77 it's very important as you will find out today. And highly entertaining! Stop moaning sit back and let the laughs roll.

Agree7 Disagree0

So lets get this right; Sir David Used Ticketus and introduced them to Craig Whyte, Craig Whyte used ticketus and introduced them to Charles Green. Craig Whyte introduced D&P to ticketus and introduced them to Rangers. Craig Whyte knew Charles Green and introduced him to D & P.

Have I got this right? It's all very interconected and difficult to follow.

Agree3 Disagree0

Yeah all of the above incestuousness is correct but the issue is they all denied those relationships including sdm saying he didn't know Whyte was buying Rangers with Ticketus money.
This is why judges take months to make decisions on cases. A second look at it all throws up clear and new insight.

Agree4 Disagree1

17 Oct 2012 16:04:47
@DB77

I care about CW, Ticketus, SDM etc. I want justice for the biggest financial fraud in Scottish History.
Craig Whyte coming out today and making these allegations is a strategic move by him and I firmly believe there will be no float on the AIM by sevco and these new revelations may even contribute to Sevco now going into administration.

You should take it all the way to the United Nations before they get their stories straight, tell them Charlie sent ye.

A TV website saying Hearts not paid 6 players and manager.
Also quotes all relevant rules and regs which throughout state CLUB this and CLUB that nothing about COMPANY.....
The rules recognise a club pays its employees not a company as both are one and the same. Indivisible. Inseparable.

If Nimmo-Smith recognises that Rangers still continues that is because Charles green is using the football club name, logos, badges, history illegally against insolvency law. Rightfully drop those and you won't recognise the same rangers.

It really is corrupt, break British insolvency law to attempt to get a law lord to legally interpret its the same club.

Why did companies house in Edinburgh allow D&P and Green to switch a club name with a failed CVA in liquidation to a new club starting up?? That appears illegal to me. It's actually companies house job to ensure that doesn't happen.

Rangers did not have a transfer of owner. Rangers are being liquidated and Green picked up the assets for £5m. Was £1m VAT paid on that transaction?

A successful CVA wasn't even attempted. What did Whyte do with the Ticketus money £22m? He didn't buy anything and he had a full season ticket uptake also. Where did that money go? Where did the NI, VAT and PAYE go? There's no accounts. D&P couldn't find the Ticketus money, they were chasing Whyte and his lawyers for it. Where is the Jelavic money? What rolled out at Rangers is exactly what Whyte does. In his own words 'A good ole switcheroo'.

Alastair Johnston smelled a rat and firmly believes the sale of Rangers from sdm to Whyte was corrupt and illegal. Whyte showed a bank account with Ticketus money to buy the club. That money never went into the club, it has dissapeared.

Believable9 Unbelievable0

Why did companies house allow oldco to keep trading with no accounts for over 2 calendar years?

Why did public funded bodies who were owed small fortunes continue to pump taxpayers money into Rangers in administration with no hope of getting it back? Such as the Police? And policing matches. Somebody should be sacked.

Agree8 Disagree0

Whyte used 18m to pay off Lioyds and presumably pocketed the rest.
