It's in the Judge's discretion. A half decent beak would say ok, here's your order but you can whistle for your costs.

The best advice for MD is to say I'll withdraw my request and you withdraw your Court application and cheerio.

Costs are incidental to the order sought. MD would only be liable in the event of him unsuccessfully opposing the application.

I don't like to contradict someone who wore the colours with distinction but the answer to the perennial question is on Mr Struth's blazer badge. Blow it up and the word is there.

An old guy told me many years ago that older guys than him had a song with the words "two Irish backs you can' t get past". He couldn't remember anything else or the tune.

Think of all the tims busy writing in their objections.

Assuming the learned Judge ignores them and grants the Petition, it would be hard for the SFA to refuse King's application to them.

That's him in big trouble now.

I've just had a horrible thought. Poyet's available.

"Who's actually done well as a manager there?" - (Oleg)

Peter Reid did not too badly. Steve Bruce was Steve Bruce ie mediocre. Surprised O'Neil didn't do better. And who but Sunderland would hire di Canio, see the light, bin him (so far, so good) then take on Poyet? Calamity followed by disaster.

I thought the Stadium name was daft until I found out it wasn't a straight copy of Benfica but a reference to a Durham miner's lamp.

Manager at Sunderland until the end of the season. Good luck to him - he's sixty years too late. They were a Bank of England club then.

AS, JMcK and rpb have presented coherent arguements from opposite sides and I can be persuaded by either.

But itcomes downto this: CG is entitled to his point of view; he is entitled to express his point of view; he is entitled to express it in the way that he did but having elected to do so in that way his suitability for office in a great institution is brought into question. Specifically, I don't think a Director of a company with a high public profile should conduct himself as CG did.

A suitable apology, ie an explanation rather than an expression of sorrow, will suffice and an undertaking not to repeat.

The question for the BBC hack is not what he knew but when did he know it? The timing reeks of suspicion.

What we must understand of course is that the Premier League is the only thing that matters. Any tournament that Chelsea get beaten in is of no importance.

I believe SBS to be indisposed this morning so I've taken it upon myself to post this on his behalf.

This is the most depressing thread.

Read dB again.

During niar Rangers spent umpteen times more than Aberdeen or Motherwell but for a couple of seasons each gave us a run for our money.

On helluva good player. Hard as nails, never dirty. Ian Black and Scott Brown? Don't make me laugh.

Plus McKay could actually play football. He'd be priceless nowadays.

The "happy time" years of ITs are long gone unless it's a question of discrimination. If a new board goes through the correct procedures they've probably got him bang to rights.

What worries me is a clause in his contract that gives him a bag of gold on termination for whatever reason.

The Seville avenger must have been Harry Davis, surely.

Pretty decent right-half but world class enforcer.

Ah, ninence = thruppence short of a bob or for young folk, just under four of these new pence that I can't quite get the hang of.

"We are loathed to respond ........"

Unfortunate typo there.

Hold up your head, Willie Woodburn ........

It was indeed the Claret and Amber thus interrupting what would have been nine in a row.

Rangers were Champions in fifteen of the twenty seasons from 1919/20 to 1938/39.

"Generation" is optimistic. I reckon a couple of years.

Emirates has more class.

Wouldn't do for the Board I suppose.

£17500 for Baxter. Only £10500 for Willie T.

RC were a promoted club at the time of the "get the Rangers" shenannigans so they would have had a vote. In fairness they may have been reluctant nay-sayers but nay they did say.

Ross County are a village team. As such they have done very well but they remain a village team.

Bad luck that they get into SPL when Rangers got turfed out but they could have voted to keep us in so devil take them.

And they've got previous for running with the jackals against a lion.

Actually, it wasn't bad luck for the club but it was very bad luck for the large number of Rangers supporters who inhabit Ross-shire.
