Right Celts, it may be time for us to mobilise. The SPL have "invited" Stewart Reagan and Campbell Ogilvie to mediate in talks between their member clubs. This pair are hopelessly conflicted in the on going shambles at The rangers. let's recap on their sterling work so far. Rangers are liquidated and granted a temporary licence to enable them to start the season. This was an unprecedented move. Their silence on the status of the club being the same footballing entity has been total. The SFA, I suspect it must have been one of this pair, then told the ECA that in their opinion the club was the same. So they tell this to a toothless body, with no governance on the game, yet will not utter a word to the Scottish fans who pay their wages.

Charles Green applies for the transfer of the playing licence to his newco side. This is again against all the rules as they had no audited accounts. To attain this licence Green entered into a "five point agreement" with the SFA. This is being treated like the USA do with their nuclear codes, no one is allowed to see it! Green then, aided by his sneaky sidekick, then torches the SFA at every opportunity. Claims of relegation became the norm, despite it being patently untrue. Marches to Hampden, sneaky ally and his "who are these people" quote, which led to threats against individuals and clubs, went unpunished bar a slap on the wrist.

As we speak The rangers have instigated their own external investigation into Mr Green's dealings. We assume because he cannot, or will not, prove who owns the clubs assets and who the investors really are. There are also questions regarding the validity of the share issue. Now Mr Green cannot, or will not, prove these things to his own board of directors, yet these two officials deemed him a "fit and proper person" to be connected to the club! Green also had to show his fiscal plan for the club, again this must have been in order for the licence to be granted.

In my opinion it is time for Mr Lawwell to stand up and ask questions on behalf of our supporters. This has reached a stage where it is beginning to look like corruption. Mr Ogilvie, let's not forget, was a recipient of EBT payments from rangers while holding senior office in the SFA. This is against the rules, we have to assume Ogilvie knows the rules! He was an office bearer at rangers during the EBT stuff, but walked away clean even after the scathing comments regarding the case.

Daywalkers are constantly accusing Mr Lawwell of running Scottish football, he does not. What he has is the control of the countries biggest club, and most successful club, he therefore has some clout. I would say to Mr Lawwell, if we see any evidence of our club in colluding in this campaign to help a new club, spawned from a dead, tax dodging, sectarian nightmare, we will not be happy. It is time for questions to be asked, and we demand the answers. Why the secrecy surrounding the Green agreement? Why is Ogilvie still in place? Who at the SFA claimed this was the same club as the liquidated club? While we stay silent it starts to look like we are accepting the status quo. We will not. green jhedi

Not for the first time, I concur on this;
I replied to a post on the 'Banter' page to the same effect - that Celtic have been far to quiet throughout and must make a stand for any honesty and integrity that remains in our game.
There are a few of us that fear Celtic's ongoing silence means some sort of collaboration has been undertaken?

The fact that Ogre vile is still involved in football and not been investigated by the fraud squad in its self is a puzzle. If the SPL do allow the SFA to negotiate it must not invovle Ogre vile in any form in fact there should be a pre condition that he resigns his position with out further delay. TTTS

I am keeping the faith and putting my trust in our leadership. Of course the time is rapidly approaching when our supporters expect to see questions asked. Our executive are in a woeful position. I do wish Mr Quinn was still with us. Sopotcelt.

A message to the board of Celtic, do you want a stadium half empty? Stand up to this corrupt outfit that is the sfa. Is our club the only one rules & regulations are applied to? whilst none are applied to the lying thieving racist new club? please don't be foolish enough to take our support for granted
because the silence & apparent complicit stance is so far wrong in the eyes of our support & is morally & ethically wrong. sfa you are the fannies of Fannies! HH AbS

How about showing our feelings by waving white hankies as I have seen done in Spain when they are unhappy with the way things are going? Along with a chant of maybe " fannies in blazers your corrupt Fannies in blazers"? Imagine the sight 50-60 thousand of the Celtics faithful supportets waving the white flags hankies whatever & expressing our disgust in song. HH AbS
