Pointless statement from celtic. How can you feel the same way about two very different outcomes. For Gods and Scottish footballs sake just say what you really, really want to say about the cheating and skullduggery. Never mind all the political nonsense and say how it really is. Fed up of all the fannying about with that mob.

Agree a mealy mouthed statement, but sadly Lawwell is all about politics these days, after all he is also an SFA member these days. Just wish they could have added "mr King should show some humility"

Sorry I think the statement was correct IF we came out all guns blazing the press would have crucified us And would have moved the blame to us as it is they (the press) can't touch us for what we said WE DID NOT THRETEN ANY ONE OR ANY CLUB with our statement so fair play to the board for the statement (cant be leave I said that) but its out there now for King to make the next move I don't think he would have thought we would have came out with a statement like that. Looks like King is making so many enemies he is digging his own hole let him carry on sit back with the ice cream and jelly and enjoy.

I was quite pleased with the statement tbh as it tried to distance our club from the nonsense across the city. Let them get on with the never ending circus and we'll just get on with being Celtic. Personally I'm fed up with all this and just want it to end one way or another. Let them keep their tainted titles, everybody in world football knows what they are and what they did, it won't make a difference now.

Was watching the early evening news when they announced that Celtic had come out strongly on the subject of Rangers EBT's. When it got to the piece they announced that Celtic had repeated what they had said previously. Nothing stronger added. I was a bit disappointed in Celtic and the usual disgust at the mms.

I can't get realy excited about all this s**t, what has this got to do with Celtic?, Rangers used illegal methods to win championships and cups, let the SFA and other authorities come down on them, even the most unknowlegible, unuptodate, uncomprimising member of the Larkhall Loyal must be able to look at what Rangers did and make up their own minds, and I must say I find it highly amusing reading some of the posts on the Rangers page, where they try to justify some of the practises.

@Aindoh - They maintain that they done nothing wrong or that they have suffered enough or everyone has it in for us. They don't seem able (unlike the Hearts fans who admitted they screwed up) to take responsibility for their own actions.
They also seem to revere LNS these days, although you got to laugh at the hypocrisy as not long before he let them keep the titles and said they are the same club they were all slating him as he actually had the audacity to rule against them.
Nowadays they are that desperate to keep their tainted titles that they have resorted to agreeing with Chris Sutton and now hold his opinions in the highest regard.
I used to actually want them back in the league as I missed the OF games. However, now I would be happy to see the tribute act wiped from the anals of Scottish Football. The reason I say that is that I have been absolutely disgusted by their bullying and intimidation tactics. Not only that I expect the powers that be to continue to allow them cheat their way to the top, just like their predessesors did.
Good riddance to bad news I say.

Aindoh, I think everyone would just get on with it if Sevco would stop bleating about being 'demoted, treated unfairly, Celtic winning tainted titles, liquidated but still retained titles, etc. etc. etc. '

Rabmac I cannot understand how you are looking forward to Rangers in the SPL . If Rangers Mark 2 come into the SPL apart from their obnoxious support and the songs they sing, what have they to offer . There is no generous banker to give Rangers £80m over draft . I don't imagine they will be able to operate an EBT tax scheme, so I just don't know how they be competitive and we will be watching Rangers one season in SPL and another season or two in the Championship.

Wonder what happened to their saying (WE ARE RANGERS NO ONE LIKES US WE don't CARE) ? Now they don't stop crying NO ONE LIKES US WHY lol.
14 Nov 2015 14:55:27
Thing that really gets me is they want to keep all they won in those times but don't want to pay every one for the money they owe for getting them, can't understand that one If they paid for them like ALL other clubs had to do and pay the news agents face painters florists and any other person not forgetting her Royal majesty the queen the money they owe the government then fair enough case closed but they want them and don't want to pay is so WRONG.

Forget about the tainted titles. Rangers are going to be in all kinds of trouble for years to come. I don't know if they will get out of the storm heading their way. There were 3 Bears, now down to two as Parks has walked away. King has not invested. Ashley is going to war. Ashley still controls the assets but has not "pawned" them yet to get his £5 mill back! Why, because there may be a dispute about ownership of the assets which will be clearer when Green, Whyte and co go to court. Ashley is also fighting the SFA re King's fit and proper appointment which again may have an impact on Rangers as they may be looking for a new Chairman. If that happens how are Rangers going to sort out the King and co share holdings? King does not need to give his shares back even if he is found not to be fit and proper. So there could be a situation for a period of time where no one may invest as they can't acquire the shares to safeguard their investment. Will King and Ashley etc vote for more shares to be issued in order to raise more money, that is they can find a NOMAD. Ashley won't and King won't unless he retains control and has something to invest in. So tainted titles or the threat of losing them are the least of their worries. King has bought a pup and he knows it now. He has peed off Ashley, another bad move. He has not invested, wise move as its a crock of s**t.

Agree with OB and do not miss them one iota.
I detest the way the 'establishment' and media have lied and manipulated the system to allow Sevco entry into the league After rangers demise and persistence with this 'same club' - same badge, stadium and history nonsense.
I was genuinely hoping that the tribute act club would go the way of the original mob and die - but you can be sure it would resurface as a third version to appease the hordes of bigots that need somewhere to assemble every week to spout bile and display religious and racial intolerance.

I feel for all the journalists who make up the MSSM who to keep their jobs have to create lie after lie, interview the most obnoxious and agree with them . Surely if we could only rid ourselves of Rangers for once and for all, then these journalists could post the truth and the whole truth without fear or favour .
