Hi Shaunn, IF, this is true that Celtic are involved in this collection stuff for terrorist organisations, then they should be expelled from the SFA, and the worlds governing body need to take action.

I am not a big fan of Celtic since Mr Lennon took over, Celtic used to be a big name for me in football, then they sang there anti English songs at Wembley, and that put me off Celtric althogether.

Rangers really are in trouble now, quite possibly this is their end: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18407309

Lets hope not as it will be very sad to lose such a iconic British club.

Re: Would you like to see Celtic and Rangers in the English league?
 

It won't be the end - well not entirely. There'll still be a Rangers playing at Ibrox next season. What league though?

The good thing is that HMRC are after those responsible. Previous owners and directors shouldn't require any laxatives for a while. I hope they get their just desserts.

Re: Would you like to see Celtic and Rangers in the English league?
 

3rd Division hopefully.

And I think Craig Whyte should be very worried, not just from an early morning knock on the door from Strathclyde Police but there are some more, ahem radical elements amongst the Rangers support. :erm:

If they are willing to send fake bombs and death threats to Neil Lennon because he is Neil Lennon what do you thnk they'll be willing to do to the man that killed their club?

And i dont think moonbeams Murray isn't going to escape scot free either.

Re: Would you like to see Celtic and Rangers in the English league?
 

I agree..they should drop to 3rd division...and former directors should be pursued by all legal means (sorry, don't agree doing anything illegal)

Re: Would you like to see Celtic and Rangers in the English league?
 

I didn't understand that. Part of HRMC's decision (other than the pathetic 9p in the pound offer) was so the people responsible could be chased after. Why couldn't they be held to account if HRMC accepted the deal?

Re: Would you like to see Celtic and Rangers in the English league?
 

The 9 pence in the pound deal was a best case scenario. There were something like over 40 unknowns, but one of these was the significant "big tax case". Depending on what paper you read on what day of the week that could reduce the CVA to less than 2 pence in the pound.

HMRC rarely accepts CVAs under any circumstances, especially when there seems to be evidence of tax avoidance/evasion on as large a scale as The Murray Group (Rangers previous owner) have been involved in.

This is one that's bound to run and run.... the EBTs, the dual contracts, the cosy relationship with Banks.....

Why did Graeme Souness get a tax free EBT loan from Rangers scheme while he was managing an English Premiership Club, 10 years after he'd left Rangers?

EBT stands for Employee Benefit Trust

Re: Would you like to see Celtic and Rangers in the English league?
 

Yes, that was deliberate tax avoidance..i watched the bbc show about it...rangers were very unsubtle about the avoidance

one green bottle standing in a row..one green bottle standing in a row.......i'm sure you know how this ends......no green bottles standing in a row...

Re: Would you like to see Celtic and Rangers in the English league?
 

Better green bottles than blue noses.....;)

The Blue Noses (2012) is the correct term ;) CEO Malcolm Green :D

Re: Would you like to see Celtic and Rangers in the English league?
 

IF Rangers don't play in the SPL, then bang goes scottish football.

Scottish football needs the big guns ie Celtic and Rangers for the revenue, from Tv etc. I personnaly think that the SPL should sit down and think about this seriously.

Without the big clubs, and really there are only Two, then the Tv companies will walk away. And l cannot see Rangers in the lower leagies of the SPL.

Re: Would you like to see Celtic and Rangers in the English league?
 

There is a contrary view that having the entire national football scene dominated by just two clubs in one city has been bad for the Scottish game (when did they last qualify for an international tournament?).

The other SPL clubs might think twice about shooing Rangers back in when they realise that an SPL without Rangers in it might be easier for a club outside Glasgow to win. That in turn might renew wider interest in the game.

Re: Would you like to see Celtic and Rangers in the English league?
 

Plus although the clubs themselves are reportedly more inclined to allow Rangers in they are all under pressure from their fanbases not to do so. It's certainly not a given that Rangers will be voted back in at all.
