He doesn't but he will have been brainwashed that anything bad happening to celtic players must be the big bad Rangers fans.

Wouldn't surprise me that celtic played Du Wei to try and earn some money, he certainly wasn't signed for his footballing ability. Maybe they played him in lieu of their mythical Japanese tour that they used as an excuse to shaft Rangers and refused to extend the season a few years back?

I see your grasp of history is green tinted as usual.

Quote:
Rangers were hit with the fine and player registration embargo after the SFA's independent judicial panel led by Lord Nimmo Smith found the club had brought the game into disrepute.

The SFA said the Ibrox club had been hit with the maximum £50,000 fine for going into administration, or "experiencing an insolvency event". It was also fined £10,000 for breaching the body's rules and the remaining £100,000 of the fine was in relation to breaching rule 66 by bringing the game into disrepute.
Still no news on Dunfermlines fine for going into administration or even the slightest hint of Hearts being accused of bringing the game into disrepute by consistent failures to pay taxes, players etc.

Maybe, just maybe they have realised dumping fines onto struggling teams isn't the best way to about things.
