Last word on today's fiasco. It's over. let's get on with our season and let the new club stew in their triumph, forgetting of course they were found guilty of withholding details, such as it is. A post earlier from DB77 hit the nail. let this be our greatest moment, let's pack the park and bring the thunder. Now is the time to show what we are made of, where we are from and where we are going. Forget them. They are an insignificance, a club in the bottom tier, run by a madman. If you can afford a season ticket buy one. If you cant, get to as many games as you can. But let's get right behind our club, a club that behaved in the proper way, a club that can hold it's head high. COYBIG!. green jhedi

Quite incredible the level of feeling over today's farce. But all real Celtic fans should view it for what it is, one man's opinion. Everybody and their dogs know what old Rangers did was tantamount to cheating. The mentalists among the newco's support are claiming a victory, a deluded attempt to start a new rivalry with Celtic. This is a completely new third division club and even the tv website don't provide links on its main football page when newco play. Best to ignore the third division new boys and deny this Scottish football pariah the publicity it craves.

just to inform I have sent a letter today informing peter lawell I will not be renewing st for next year as I feel I have been cheated over the last 10 years and today just confirmed it

somebody better tell real madrid, barcelona, man. utd and man. city that the high wages they pay gains them no competitive advantage. have you ever heard the like? so then, why did rangers start a scheme that led to their downfall? this is hilarious.

28 Feb 2013 19:15:24
Nevermind bhoys. Let them keep their tainted titles. They died with 54 titles and the last few will always be viewed as stolen. Title number one coming up enjoy fellas, we'll overtake 54 soon enough.

28 Feb 2013 18:25:37
at least now we can forget about them now for at least a few year and get on with our own club

James McClean has been fined two weeks wages because he tweeted about listening to The Broad Black Brimmer.

Shocking by Sunderland

just reading a Zombies point of view about evereebuddies attempt to destroy rankers on tv news website.
Why don't empty -headed Rangers fans get over themselves and remember Minty, White and co put you were you are now. no-one else.

Any backlash that you lot are thinking of will be along the lines of the usual
moronic stuff that you've dealt out in the past

54 and Tainted. a club down the pan. £250,000 fine to a dead entity lol
the banks have now heard this and are now blaming the toxic debt on their Granny's. long dead

GUILTY. Fined £250'000 but no titles stripped. I bet Lance Armstrong wishes he had said he was a Rangers supporter now. DH

Folks. don't worry about New Govan FC. Remember, we're the club with it's history intact, not them.
They can't genuinely claim to be the same club and they know it.
It reminds me of Only Fools And Horses from years ago. Trigger was a council worker and got a prize for having the same brush for 20 years. When questioned he said that in that time it had 5 new heads and 4 new shafts. but apart from that it was the same brush!

Does this remind you of any football club?

Hail Hail

What makes these ex bears more pathetic, is that they're bragging about getting away with cheating. The mentality of these fans are disgusting, they think it's okay to cheat and get away with it. Justice has not been served with the corruption of Scottish football, but the Stirling game was good enough for me, let's face it Rangers are never going the get the punishment any other team in there position would get, SFA, the courts, are always going to be in there favour, but they're never going to be on the same Level as our great club and family. they're struggling and I am loving it, and may it long continue. Ally must stay! Hail Hail Bhoys & Ghirls

LNS has previously proven his credentials? Certainly took an illegal punishment last year against Rangers; one year transfer ban, which club appealed to Court of Session ( lord hodge or Carloway?) ruled his court had supervisory jurisdiction over Scottish football and that Nimmo- smiths penalty was wrong. Nimmo smith resigned from his panel.

This latest 'commission' is not a court judgement.

This is 3 legal minds moonlighting outside the courts for the SPL. Any finding they make is a recommendation to SPL Board to accept or decline.
I would, accept the guilty verdict, dismiss this commission, and award suitable penalties. 3-0 per game.

Ultimately any unhappy party, including any SPL team, can appeal this to the court of session, lord Carloway, who has supervision over such matters and i'm sure find a fine for oldco far too lenient as the regulations stipulate 3-0 quite explicitly.

This game has more running in it. The £250k is now a footballing debt.

Oh dear so RFC have been to some extent found guilty, well there is a punishment so I assume there was a crime.

RFC fans watched over the past few years knowing full well their Club was in financial difficulty, made blase statements such as 4 in a row nae dough etc and over the past year we have watched as they have spiralled into liquidation and ceased to exist.

They declared the SPL commission a kangaroo court but as they were not stripped of titles it is now declared as a success, explain?

The assets (and I don't mean titles) were bought by a walloper of a man and these supporters now follow a Club in Div 3 where they are struggling and have an old legend failing as a manager.

This new club could never have been stripped of silverware, it does not have any.

Once a disgrace, always a disgrace.

54 and its all over, hope it was all worth it!

I do think a clearout of Hampden is required, there is no confidence at all.

What's the point in having rules when you can clearly breach them without any real consequence. Disgusted at this ruling. Shows how pro 'The Rangers' the authorities in Scotland are. They have no backbone, and all this talk of that mob being kicked when they are down clearly the authorities have bent over backwards to help them out at every turn. There has been no anti-Newco agenda only the SFA etc helping them as much as they can.

Allowing a club with no accounts to be given automatic entry into the football leagues when other teams have been waiting years. Now the commission set up fining a dead and liquidated club money that they will never receive. Spineless the lot of them. Uefa need to step in or the Scottish game will not recover from the fiasco and might as well turn out the light.

I must admit I am not saying I agree with the outcome but I am struggling to hold back a mighty grin after months and months of my Celtic buddies and people on here taking digs about titles being stripped. There is one question I want to ask though and I am not trying to wind anyone up just curious, If Rangers are as you all say a new team with no history or ties to what you call oldco then why were you all so bothered about titles that according to all you Rangers don't have being stripped?

P. S. I don't really believe many people when they say it's because of sporting integrity and all that because if it was any other scottish team 95% of you wouldn't care what happened. Also Ed sorry about the length of this post.

Spartans thrown out of a cup competition for 1 ill-registered player in 1 game. rangers 10 years multiple ill-registered players in ALL comps and they get a £250,000 wot a complete joke

28 Feb 2013 12:15:42
Lord Nimmo Smith confirms in his report Rangers and Rangers are two different clubs.

No more "54 and counting"

TRFC starts on 1

With just a half hour to go before the verdict of captain nimmos investigation. I'm guessing we are about to see another spineless display if favouritism by the authorities. What do you guys reckon will be the best outcome we could expect?

28 Feb 2013 11:24:01
Regardless of the verdict. Rankers title this season in D3 will be known as title number 1. None of this 55 bollox. Rangers died in 2012

28 Feb 2013 11:12:04
No title's stripped then eh, can't say i'm one bit surprised to be honest.

You can have all the views you like, its over now. let's get on with supporting Celtic and be happy that there will be no reason for anyone to care about what they are doing in the 3rd division.

Roll on saturday, i've got a feeling St. Mirren are going to feel the backlash from last nights result.

28 Feb 2013 11:03:06
a web site Scotland reporting online they understand Rangers are not to be stripped of any titles. Unbelievable and shocking if true. How do they know an hour and half before official release?

28 Feb 2013 10:31:00
Just seen murderwells second goal on TV. Any one else think maybe big frazer could have came and claimed it? It was hung up and not pacy. For my money Efie main culprit, Izzy not as much but far from blameless but the big man looks slow to come. green jhedi

A simple question. As a Celtic fan do you buy the record? If you do then it is time to have a long hard look at yourself. For years this tawdry rag has been one long pro oldco fanzine. Today however the utterances of ex oldco player hateley are beyond belief. Who is the Editor of this nonsense?Should they not be correcting him on what he scrawls?
1; "Scottish football has TAKEN IT IN TURNS to inflict as much damage as possible with the club at it's weakest and unable to defend itself". Might part of that damage be the much maligned transfer embargo? The embargo that allowed the transfer of the SFA share to allow your TOTALLY NEW CLUB to enter the league system? Might it be the NOT PUBLICIZED letter from some one in the SFA stating your were the old club to gain credence with the ECA? Might it be the unprecedented temporary licence granted to allow you to start the season? WOW. What a kicking eh?

2; "it's been pretty brutal, down right nasty, I think there are some bad people and DARK FORCES out there engaging in a guerilla war against a great football institution" Nomark. Downright nasty is threatening to burn down the ground of a club who only followed the rules. it is demanding to know the names of a panel of investigators when you already know their names. It is leaving debt behind, worth possibly over £100m, and then claiming you are the same club. It is marching on any one who disagreed with anything your club says.

3;"Today Lord Nimmo Smith can call of the dogs, he can clear oldco of cheating to win titles, anything else and there are SINISTER forces at work in the shadows of Scottish football" No one is accusing you of cheating, although that is technically what it was, but playing UNREGISTERED players. The penalties for this are clear. A 3-0 defeat in every game the offence took place. What other sanction is possible other than removing titles? The club who committed these rule breaks are DEAD. What are we supposed to do? Shrug our collective shoulders and sigh? You can't fine a dead club, suspend them or ban them so I ask nomark, what would you suggest? Let the dead club go claiming honours that are not theirs? What about the other clubs who play by the rules?

He then rambles on in the style of our favourite urine soaked ex reporter, disgraceful really, pleading the case for oldco. "if they pursue this they will LIGHT A FLAME UNDER AN ALREADY VOLATILE SITUATION" Again with the veiled threats. Topped of by an empty seat jibe at Celtic. Worry about your own crowd nomark, we are doing just fine thanks. let's not forget this is a National newspaper not the rangers news. Buy it? Not wipe my ass!. green jhedi

huge league SPL big joke motherwell v celtic 8,000+fans turn out EFL 2 dag redbridge v bradford 10,000+ fans turn out, which shows Scottish football is 3rd rate, and Celtic would never get to a europian match if you were in the Premier league {Ed013's Note - You cannot possibly know Celtic wouldn't make a European competition if they were in the Premier League! Why is it Celtics fault for Motherwell's attendance? Everywhere in football struggles for midweek crowds due to work and finances, the fact that Bradford had 10,000 fans may have something to do with a cup final they have just returned from. Who do you support, stop wasting your time trying to stir s**t up}
