Our Lisbon Lions – resplendent … preened, emerged, emboldened for the fray; decked out in most distinctive garb: alternate hoops of white and green. The mission clear – confront the foe; put anti-football to the sword; by total, joyous running free, lay sterile Catenaccio low. Our Lisbon Lions, so bold, so brash, absorbed a cruel…

Our tribute to departing Celt, Mark Wilson. Mark of a Bhoy (Faithful through and through)   Forever the usher but never the groom – best man, oft in the colours he wore with such vroom. In a marriage of passion, commitment and trust, none more faithful, more honest, more gutsy … more us!   Warhol…

Every passing day of indecision, allied to the ever more conciliatory noises emanating from the SPL membership and hierarchy towards what is effectively a thinly-disguised “NRDA” (National Rangers Defence Alliance), makes it more obvious that we are in the throes of a cynical war of attrition over the corpse of Scottish football.  Rules and Articles…

In a post yesterday, I heavily implied that Dunfermline Athletic chairman, John Yorkston, would be likely to endorse a Newco Rangers’ continued membership of the SPL.  Reports this morning, however, suggest the opposite; and that he intends throwing his weight and vote behind sporting integrity. Gaun yersel’, Yorkie! Admittedly, in present circumstances, there is a…

According to some reports this morning, the SPL Board, or at least part of it, is running scared in the face of the perceived probability of a backlash over the vote on Rangers’ SPL future … or otherwise.  Allegedly, the dissenters are about to deliver a curve ball to their peers, charging all SPL member…

IN LIGHT OF TODAY’S MOMENTOUS DEVELOPMENTS: Some may say, it’s over – surprise, surprise, they’re … “Walking Away” They didn’t do walking away – unless you mean from taxes. Well, everybody did that … didn’t they? They didn’t do walking away – unless you count the rules. Well, they were above them … weren’t they?…

Sadly, each passing tactical-delay day and every smugly self-satisfied pronouncement on behalf of the collective establishment (and yes, that DOES include its mollycoddled favourite club and a compliant MSM) reinforces my long-held suspicion that the conspiracy to contrive and enforce the survival of and soft landing for a continuing true blue element in Scottish football…

… NOT the flavour presently being cooked up over at the SPL, which stinks to high heaven. Anyone with half a brain can work out that yesterday’s failure to conclude the business of the day, allied to the subsequent gobbledegook spouted in all directions by Neil Doncaster, is a fairly blatant attempt to buy time for…

In this morning’s Scotsman newspaper, Stuart Bathgate performs some astonishing logical gymnastics in apparently attempting to justify, or at least explain, the likelihood of a fudged (i.e. totally devoid of integrity) outcome to today’s SPL meeting to discuss and vote on, amongst other matters, sanctions in the event of member insolvency. I’m sorry, Mr B…

Yes, for me and millions like me, Celtic are most definitely “Special”. However, NOT in the arrogant sense the “Cheeky Chappie” means in his recent petulant outburst in the tabloid press … NOT to the extent of being less subject to the rules and regulations of the game than fellow members.  NOT to the extent…
