RANGERRAB

I always wondered if Dave King managed to keep a straight face when taking the SFA's F&PPT. I bet he knew all about Desmond.

What King did in SA pales into insignificance when you research Desmond's background, especially his involvement with the ROI governments. Now this too.

My own view is that Caixinha might see us as a stepping stone to the EPL.

I don't have a problem with that because he'll need to be successful with us first to do that.

I don't think Scotland can beat Slovenia from what I've seen of them.

Scotland are struggling big time at CB & at this level you will always get found out.

Where are the goals coming from?

This is why I think you'll see Caixinha trying to move out Waghorn, Miller & Garner before the transfer window shuts at the end of August.

It's anyone's guess who he brings in to replace them though

FWIW I wouldn't be surprised if Pedro Caixinha tried to move Waghorn, Miller & Garner out during the summer & replace them with strikers of his choice. They simply haven't got enough goals if we're to challenge for the title

I've always thought Strachan dug himself into a hole when he recalled Brown for the England game at Wembley. It backfired & Brown was virtually anonymous.

This latest nonsense does him no favours either. He looks like a manager clinging on to his job. He'll be gone soon & the SFA blazers will be back to square one yet again

Not to sure about that Rab,too soon to tell,but doubt if there will bee such a points gap.

Much will depnd on who he brings in during the summer but he's bound to have contacts all over.

Get us a striker who can get 25 league goals & get Hyndmann and Toral for next season and it's game on with the yahoos IMO.

Might need to look at CB too

Presume the yahoo compliance officer missed it as usual ?

Don't know why but I am convinced we're going to win the league with this guy next season.......

A big problem for Caixinha now is what to do about Hyndmann & Toral.

There's no no doubt they've improved us considerably since they arrived & we now need to look to signing them both permanently if possible. Hyndmann will involve a transfer fee but Toral is out of contract at the end of the season I believe.

Can the Rangers board provide the funds ?

The real "expert" who said he'd not been following what was happening retweeted the message from another tax guy who said things weren't going too well on the first day at court.

And the guy who said things weren't going too well was likely to be a yahoo ??

No. It's genuine Rab. He's with the taxpayers alliance or similar and what he tweeted was picked up and re-tweeted by some noted tax expert. Many then misunderstood and implied that the expert had said our erchies were oot the windae.

Did the tax expert think we'd win this case?

says in his twitter he hasn't been watching ?

For that laughable dive in the second half when 'challenged' by Tavernier. Like Aluko got.

And will the compliance officer want to look at Scott Brown's deliberate elbow in Holt's face leading up to their free kick which hit the post ?

Notice how they're using the diversionary tactic about the Griffiths penalty at the end. Even Strachan said it wasn't a penalty. Trying to draw attention away from the 2 incidents I mentioned

Hill did touch the ball.

I would also like to see C1872 take this up with the authorities!

Agree but this is really for the club to do.

I genuinely hope we're not back to days of dignified silence

Remind me again what Police Celtland said about banners pre-game?

Plod Scotland are about as much use as a choclate teapot at policing games at the piggery.

Our MD Mr Robertson should be taking this banner up with the SFA & the yahoos themselves

Think I'll give that a miss

team news is official;

 

Wes

Hodson Hill Wilson Wallace

Tav Holt Hyndman

Waghorn Miller McKay

I'd have played Waghorn or Miller. Not. Both.

I'd have put another MF player in there

Are Toral & Halliday injured?

Team for tomorrow:

Wes, Hodson, Hill, Wilson, Wallace, Tav, Hyndman, Holt, Mckay, Miller, Waghorn

Not a million miles for the team I'd go for. Only Toral in for Waghorn or Miller.

I'd like to see us going 4-1-4-1 with Tav & MIller or Waghorn in the 1's.

Imperative we don't get overrun in MF & we do better defending set pieces if we're to get anything from this game

It would appear the Crown view it as "Financial Assistance" it was also the basis for the initial complaint made to the authorities by Alastair Johnston.

 

 

 

 

 

I imagine sight of the funds in Collyer Bristow escrow account was enough for the bank to keep it's own arse clean, and Donald Muir simply wouldn't have given a flying f*&k where his £1m bonus came from.

BDO certainly saw enough to convince them to go after CB for £24m. Maybe LBG aren't as diligent. Maybe LBG should have been asking the same questions BDO saw fit to ask. And BDO won their case

Things like that never happen except in our dreams. What really happens is the stuff of nightmares.

Depends to what extent Ticketus are prepared to go to. LBG should never have accepted that payment

That was probably true but it doesn't have to, in the similar way as mortgage cash wouldn't hit your bank account.

But this wasn't a mortgage though was it ? If I fraudulently obtain funds can I buy your house? I bet you'd hope your solicitor would ensure everything was in order beforehand.

This was RFC Ltd(now oldco) supposedly clearing its bank debt by a payment from one of Whyte's companies.Didn't the bank ask any questions when the money came from elsewhere? Did they ask where the money came from ?

The Scottish banking fraternity knew all about Whyte from his previous business history. That I know for a fact. Add to that LBG gave Whyte no credit facilities when he got Rangers.

If Whyte gets found guilty I'd be amazed if LBG don't come under some sort of investigation. Perhaps SDM too. They certainly seemed keen to lend him money again for new ventures after he sold Rangers on top of the £750m or so MIH already owed. Coincidence ? Don't think so
