Should Rangers themselves not be questioning this? Perhaps there hands were tied in the registration saga. But I would like to see Rangers making of some sort of statement now. Not to do with the case but questioning Harper MacLeod involvement in the investigation

They shouldn't be saying anything while the investigation is ongoing. If they need to say something it should be through a lawyer. It just adds to the hysteria surrounding the whole thing. Going by what he said though does it not clear us of the dual contracts? Though it potentially screws us for the tax case

I still think Sebo would have come good if we'd played a different style but Que sera Shiels is a good signing he will score goals as well as make them

I'm looking at this on my phone so I may not be able to see this properly Why does Celtic PLC accounts only go up to 1990?

Looks like a 4-4-1-1 or possibly a 4-3-2-1. Playing either way should give us lots of possession and hopefully we can control the game and make Brechin do all the running.

Does anyone know what happened with Juventus? I know they had two titles voided because of the match fixing scandal. Also that umpteen clubs were involved. But was compensation paid to the other clubs that weren't involved? Or was the title being voided the end of it?

I agree, I found it so disheartening when watching Rangers. At times we would go and play 1 up front against Gretna or struggle for a draw against Partick. All because of the fear we had of losing. I hope one positive that can come of this is that youth finally gets a chance.

I agree, I hope we can all get back to talking about Rangers the Football Club. I think Charles Green has a difficult job just now but he has performed admirably bar 1 or 2 things. He hasn't done anything that would suggest we can't trust him and I thank him for saving Rangers and getting us back on track slowly but surely heres to the future!!!!

I don't think that is wriiten by a Rangers fan!

Thanks. Does anyone know what format the hearing will take? Will Rangers be allowed to defend themselves for example? Most of these things seem to be kangaroo courts. Where the decision has already been made before the hearing/meeting takes place.

Have the SFA/SPL actually investigated the dual contracts yet? About a month ago I recall them saying Rangers had to supply them with information which they got as I understand. I also recall them saying Rangers had a case to answer. Jump forward a couple of weeks and the talk was that Rangers had to be stripped of titles. (Mostly from current and ex Celtic players). Then jump forward to this week and all the talk has been Rangers had to accept any decision made as a condition of SFA membership. Last nights statement said "The SPL has reserved its position in relation to the on-going investigation into employee benefits trusts" Is it possible the decision has been made?

@AlisonRobbie So after speaking to the SFA all I know is there will be a statement at some point telling us if Rangers have membership or not #helpful

Even if we did make them contractual which as I understand is the crux of the BTC then I still don't think we would be telling the SFA that Flo for example is only on £10000 a week when it is widely reported he is 40. I can't believe we would be THAT stupid I think it would come down to how we were paying it. Which I don't think is anybody's business but ours

Indeed, I agree the side letters will say something like that or along those lines It certainly won't say this is your second contract.

How would things like bonuses work? Over the years I can think of lots of examples where the headline will say: "players on 40 grand a man to qualify for the next phase" Are these sort of things factored into contracts? I wonder because the headlines seem random at the time like it is a glorious gesture by the owner etc...

Completely agree. It's the one thing I believe David Murray on when he said â??Iâ??ve looked through every year to check my facts and there were no double contracts. Categorically, there were no dual contracts.â? I think the side letters everyone keeps talking about. (I haven't seen one) Probably say something along the lines of so much will be paid normally and the rest will be paid through the trust. Which I don't think constitutes a double contract. I would think all clubs have to do is say how much someone will get paid not how they will pay it.

Indeed the Football Authorities aren't really down with following good examples in this country

If Rangers were stripped of titles the SFA/SPL could possibly just void the years in question. There is precedent for that Marseille & Juventus for example I'm sure that there will be more examples.

I think it just comes down to none of the blue knights really put there money where there mouth was. there was always some excuse. fair enough greens money was a loan but most of these things are loans at the end of the day in some shape or another

Then why didn't he go the newco route? Seems to me he is doing what he said he wouldn't/couldn't do

I don't get Kennedy I really don't. At his press conference with Paul Murray towards the end of May. A Rangers newco wasn't financially viable for him or Paul Murray by the Saturday he said "it was too late" his words What's changed?

We should hold everyone to the same standards we have been held to. No more no less.

Yes I do, he has said on numerous occasions he would welcome investment. Perhaps on his terms but either way he would be his getting money. All the investors would need to do was make the bid public through a lawyer or press release. If Green said no then he'd need to explain why he said no. If Green really offered Smith 50% why didn't Smiths group take it? They'd have equal say in everything surely?

If Brian Kennedy "really" wants his 50% why can't he just say to 4 of his pals here £1milllion go buy 10% of Rangers for me, then buy the other 10% himself or is that too simple?
