In all seriousness you can see by our league form we started the season poorly. A better reflection of where Celtic are as a team is that we were clearly better than Rennes over two games, gave Udinese as good as they got and were just a little bit lacking when faced with Athletico Madrid.

Will the rangers players that get let go be bale to play for a new club straight away? I think so.

Going to be interesting to see who goes at Ibrox. Player redundancies are really going to destroy the morale, if it hasn't been completely destroyed already.

McCoist and McCulloch have offered to manage/play for nothing till end of season apparently.

Ally might have to put his boots on and play before the end of the season.

Pure hearsay this, but a mate of mine had dinner with a relatively well known former Gers employee last week, and the gist of what was said was its the tip of the iceberg and people will end up in jail.

Acording to Talksport, Rangers players have rejected big pay cuts. Things are only going to get worse at Ibrox.

I hear Ibrox is to be renamed the Inland Revenue Arena, or IRA for short. It's only provisional though.

I volunteered to walk with no redundancy package today to help the other people in the club who have families, like the kitchen staff. "

"I offered to walk away yesterday and the club told me today that they would accept that offer.

"At the moment I have nowhere to go and I don't have another club."

"I don't know what is going to happen next but I thought it was important to play my part in saving Rangers."

Fair play to Wylde.

Classy move that. But he won't struggle to find a club. Weren't Bolton after him during the summer?

He should get a club easily enough. Not sure if he's been as good this season as last but he'd be one of the few with a chance of having a decent career in Premiership/Championship

Adminstrators want to sell in the next few days. Might not even be able to see out this season's fixtures without big cuts or new income.

Anna_Livia · 7th March 2012, 18:12

The administrators can't make any of the high-earning players redundant, because these players constitute the only value in the club for any buyer. McGregor, Davis, Whittaker and Naismith currently constitute Rangers as a going concern. Get rid of them and you're left with worthless journeymen and few other assets.

Unless someone buys them in two days (and who would/could buy them with an unknown and enormous tax bill about to land on them in the next few days) then liquidation's a certainty.

Not just that, but they went out to try and sign Daniel Cousin just when they were about to go into admin. By that stage they knew it was happening, but they still tried to buy more players.

Sultan · 7th March 2012, 19:21

Get your credit cards out Gers fans.

50000 fans paying a 2k each would get the club out of this situation.

This is how religious buildings are built.

Cousin was a free transfer tbf, and i dont think McCoist and co realised just how dire the situation was at that time.

I have heard rumblings about fans trying to donate cash via a website. 50,000 paying £20 for the next 3-4 months would pay the 1 million needed each month til the end of the season. Not sure how far on they are with that but, and administrators mightn't even take cash donations.

It's wasting your money though when the club can't be managed out of it.

I hardly think tax is ever going to be recovered anyway. Might as well let the club roll if it means jobs and associated business are going to be saved. I understand it would set a precedent, but HMRC should never have been in a situation where they were owed Millions before taking action.

The American boys would do alright: Boca, US captain, was also captaining in the French first division. He would get attention. And Edu was rumored to France with a team coming out and saying they want him, so he'd get one too.

Rangers have quality players - they just overpay. Then continue to throw money away.

Thing is, they still had to pay his wages though, so why were they adding to the wage bill when they knew that they couldn't cope with the current one.

misterredmist · 7th March 2012, 22:31

Wow, what a situation, it seems to get worse everyday for Rangers - and I wouldn't be surprised if there's more hidden gems to come out regarding Craig Whyte's "stewardship".

He had some brass neck doing the deal the way he did, and I'm sure that he'll have to watch his back from now on as he's bound to have made a lot of Gers fans extremely angry. And I do recall certain high profile Rangers people objecting to his proposed takeover....

It clearly shows with Gers and Pompey that these due diligences and fit and proper person tests are capable of being masked by paper trails just like athletes can use masking agents for their steroids.....

Sad, sad, state of affairs, Scottish Football is struggling enough without this, but HMRC were definitely too slow on the uptake, and Murray certainly over funded some of his managers at the turn of the century, baring in mind their TV revenues are probably at English Championship Divison levels.

Drifter · 8th March 2012, 10:06

SFA saying they are not hundred percent sure Rangers will finish the season.

stand_free · 8th March 2012, 12:42

Once this is all over I'm pretty sure there will be some individuals looking at a stint in Barlinnie.

Appalling mismanagement from Murray and now Craig Whyte. Liquidation appears to be the only outcome now.

Just face it mate, Celtic are a very average side. Rangers are worse.

Incredible to think that the man was ever seen as being fit and proper to run a football club. More evidence that these tests they do on new owners are completely useless.

Exactly. Nothing SFA can do about it now.
