The DA

Sorry, can't hear you. Your missus is blowing sweet nothings in my ear!

Ooh, nasty. Bad man. Too personal. But fair.

Chocolate, please. Push them down the landline - apparently I've got a fat pipe now.

They seem to think that, since their debt is miniscule compared to the loan to the RoI, that it's neither here nor there. I think they've misunderstood the difference between a loan and theft.And, because the loan was to Ireland, that Celtic are somehow involved. It's a strange world of half connections and shaky cause-and-effect that they live in. Wonder what will happen when the football disappears and there's nothing left to prop up their fantasies.

I'm just happy that they're hurtin'.

Aaaaah. Miscalculation.

I have nothing to say. Other than, where's my Wotsits?

I look around their squad and I find it hard to see who I'd want to add to add to United's squad, even on a free.

Let's pretend you meant 'incision' in which case Irn Bru bottles will indeed do the job, but only once cracked over a bun's napper.

Away with you, buttock-cheek. We want nothing to do with your tainted dollars.

A restrained description. I'm impressed by your even-handedness.

Maybe they hoped he'd sign for Maidenhead.

Yes it does.

Dee fan jealous of United's success. That was unexpected.

In light of the findings in the report they released yesterday, they wouldn't dare do that.

Agreed. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea - they all play fantasy football and I grew out of fantasy just after I finished reading Lord of the Rings 30 years ago. Give me the reality of Scottish football. The wee stories of Scottish football are every bit as exciting and real as the pumped up soap operas of the EPL or La Liga.

Using that approach, we can't criticise the Gers fans!

I'm not doubting you but I don't see anything in that part of the document that says a UEFA license is required to play in the SPL. 3.3.2 says that a license is required to play in 'the UEFA Club Competitions' but there's no mention in the section you've linked to that says it's needed for SPL participation. I'd be delighted to be proved wrong - is there another section that covers this?

But the SPL will change the rules now 'to ensure this doesn't happen again, clsoing a loophole. You have all been warned.". All we can hope is that the next culprits are 1 of the OF.

What happens if the creditors decide that they could get a better return by liquidating the company and selling the assets individually? I'm sure that would come to more than £11M. Isn't that supposed to be the administrators' role? And can't those creditors object to the transfer of assets?

This whole idea of syphoning off the assets and leaving the toxic debts behind just feels wrong. It's like me watching out for a local business, let's say the RBS, and then offering to buy them, debts and all, for a fiver. I then set up RBS 2012, move all the assets over and tell the original creditors to get tae. Why are none of Rangers creditors (HMRC, Ticketus, United) objecting to this asset stripping? It just doesn't sound legal.

Newcastle

"Nasty, toxic Rangers...".

Exciting for whom?

I had this sudden image flash in front of my eyes - Whyte, Murray, Jardine, Walter and others being led away in handcuffs, sobbing like Charlie Sheen in Wall Street.
