Billy Bowie urges Scottish football to end hostilities over Rangers' EBTs

Killie may well have voted for us if it would have made a difference, but they knew it wouldn't make a difference and would only have ended up hurting themselves due to the blackmail and threats they were under, particularly from Celtic and their support. It would have hurt them financially if the Celtic support boycotted them.

The killie supporters trust wrote to their celtic counterparts begging them not to boycott them(because of the abstension)

They more or less blamed their chairman(whom they all hate).Make no mistake the fans were right behind that lot.

Dont think Ross County, Hamilton and Partick were in either. I know there is no hard feelings towards Ross County. Dont think the other two would have been so kind towards us.

 

I don't know about the County club but Ross-shire is staunch. Unkind people say it's the only good thing about the place.

Some were. I know quite a few that weren't.

Aye, the article is by Stephen McGowan, the small headline is on the bottom corner of the back page, you have to go to page 115 to finish reading it all, where you find the opposite page (114) with a full page headline which says this, attributed to Bowie...

 

Administration was spoken about but that wasn't the RIGHT THING TO DO. We're the oldest professional club in Scotland. We'd have become a NEWCO or whatever and that was NEVER AN OPTION

 

The above format is exactly how it's spread over the page...read between the lines and you get a certain message.

 

The Daily Mail is no friend of Rangers FC and their fans.

 

STEPHEN McGOWAN is a rhabid bitter Rangers Hater!

 

Edit: Managed to borrow a camera....
