If people are so convinced our lawyers are running the club then you have to ask why the same people aren’t criticising our owners for allowing it. Perhaps it’s the corporations wot done it?

£900,000 a WEEK! FFS

I doubt there is a single thing wrong with our legal advisers. Lawyers can only advise on points of law and act on their client's instructions. I think you're barking up the wrong tall woody plant thing if you think this is down to our current legal team.

Aberdeen fans are some of the most deranged people around. One absolute hero I know in his mid-thirties told my 7 year old grandson not to come to their house to play if he was wearing a Rangers shirt ... and he was entirely serious about it. When I told him what I thought of it he was strangely reluctant to justify himself. I despise them with an absolute passion.

Irrespective of how we ended up in this mess, it is what it is and I'm not sure what else fans expect the board to do about it. The may be trying and failing so far but would we rather they didn't try at all?

McKenna would be the perfect signing for Celtic. As for Tierney, you have to laugh.

Call a spade a spade. By its inactions, the SNP, the government of Scotland, is complicit in covering up child abuse and protecting paedophiles.

Blunder ?

If Celtic get anything like the £££ they’re talking about, it shows two things. Firstly the worth of proper recruitment, development and marketing of players. Secondly, it’s going to be several seasons before we can hope to catch up financially.

Agreed. If we’re worried about who we play first we’ve obviously little confidence in our chances.

Much as I detest him, the reference to Scott Brown is unnecessary and only detracts from the issue in question.

There's no way in this world Gary Mac will ever be manager of Rangers.

One face says "no politics in sport". The other face says "look at my PC credentials"

Isn’t that the same no matter when we play on that surface?

It looks like we're getting our excuses in early this year.

Why not judge him by how he performs on the park?

Getting angry again. ?

Are they changing their nickname then?

No more questions Your Honour, the prosecution case is made and the defence is out to lunch.

Does it make the slightest difference who we meet in the first five games? If we win or lose the league title, does it make any material difference when or where we won or lost the points variation at the end of the season? I can't think of anything less relevant to the season ahead than fretting over the first five fixtures.

Probably the biggest factor anchoring us to our current mediocrity has been fully illustrated above in three of the last four posts.

You wouldn't be denying anyone their identity. That's hysterical nonsense. People express their identity in all sorts of ways - we're only talking about a football team. Having a UK football team doesn't make you any less Scottish, unless your sense of national identity is so shallow that it falls apart because we don't have a separate football team cheered on by people in kilts with pheasant feathers in their glengarry. How about if we don't have a separate Olympic team, does that make you feel less Scottish? Should we refuse to take part in the British Lions? Surely our sense of Scottishness is on firmer ground than that. I know mine is.

There’s corruption in Mexico, Zimbabwe, England, Holland, Spain, and every other country. None of which detracts in the slightest from corruption in Scottish football.

I was talking about football, not abolishing Scotland or pretending to be English. There's a considerable difference.

Steady on.
