Blue Moon

Now the silence from them is explained. Carefully orchestrated for maximum effect. We are being outmanoevered by their PR machine at every turn. I say it again, time for the club to speak out and the supporter groups.

Home and away? Surely it is invitational? We shouldn't participate, but no doubt it is another condition of our membership!

Certainly not BBC Scotland. It is rancid.

Thanks for that, Ian, it puts a different perspective on the original document.

I have not a shred of sympathy for any of them.

I think it is time we heard from someone at the club. What are the conditions for us to have our membership transferred by the SFA? 1. Obviously the "fit and proper person" criteria. 2. The transfer ban. 3. What else? Are the EBT's and these ridiculous punishments part of it? No trial, decision already taken etc etc. If it is "only 1 and 2 do we accept it, get in, then fight the EBT thing? If it is all of them we are goosed. If we choose to fight it we won't get in, the place will go to someone else. If we say the conditions are not accepable I cannot see us being able to play anywhere else while there are still "outstanding punishments" with the SFA.

Will the same rules be applied to other clubs in other associations and by UEFA to all clubs who had EBTs? By this course of action the SFA are hanging us out to dry.

HMRC have said they are not going to ask Rangers for the tax but chase the individuals who benefited from the loans.

Good comment from John DC Gow "I wonder if Green knew this story was coming out hence getting out of the country and bizarre comments about safe houses."

Allan Rennie now saying this was the Div 1 deal. It lets us see how they are thinking on this.

One of the Rangers Directors took the evidence to the SFA IIRC. I have been dreading this but surely to God this is the last of it. There was reference to side letters which they view as constituting dual contracts. There has been talk of playing unregistered players. That's all I can remember. None of this detail has been on twitter. I suppose we will find out some of the detail tomorrow. More from Twitter DR. Saying it reads like an all party agreement. To be truthful I have been expecting that we don't really have a case in this.

More info from Allan Rennie. Legal draft sanctions include stripping Rangers of 5 League titles and 4 Scottish cups.

Tweeted by Allan Rennie.

Posted on twitter from the Daily Record Draft legal document bearing the names of SFA,SPL,SFL and Rangers Newco detailing wide ranging sanctions over EBTs.

What does that mean?

Agreed, not a bad line up, but what happens when we get injuries to experienced players?

I read about this months ago before de Stefano started speaking about it. It is part of the fraud that no-one at Rangers or Lloyds picked up on because the name of the companies was very similar. It will be part of the fraud investigation.

Zappa, what about accepting all future punishments that may come to light? That is what we are also being asked to do. Not only have they kicked us but we will be lying down to make it easier for them in the future.

I have a lot of time for Nacho but this sort of crap doesn't do anyone any good.

I never thought I would say this but I am with the SFA on this one. Given our recent history, I don't give a jot if this is only happening to us. I want them to be thorough and to ensure that these people are legit and above board.

I like the Guardian and am disappointed to see it stoop to this level but at least it is removed and an apology given. We are starting to stand up for ourselves and must continue to do so to ensure we are never again so underrepresented and maligned until people get the message and the culture changes.

Would be interesting to know what the up to date situation is with this. Of course it is not a direct comparison with our situation since it is about European competition but surely the same EU rules must be pertinent to domestic competitions?

This sort of thing is really not helpful and in the grand scheme of things a red herring today we could all do without. I am genuinely very sorry if the sensitivities of the staff were offended but today it is the least of my worries.

Our money due from the SPL was held back to pay hearts.

Can't bring myself to look at him.
