I’m just wondering where you got the impression I was suggesting that Celtic should share the blame. If I gave that impression then I apologise I thought I was presenting the facts.

Again no disrespect, I very much doubt though if the liquidation of Rangers FC would simply have been the result of an incorrect tax demand. Sure, there was a lot of potential liability speculation being widely reported in the media, but as far as I'm aware Rangers never actually entered into liquidation based on that.

I kinda got the impression you were attempting to involve Celtic in this when you spoke of the bitterness between both sets of supporters here in Scotland. I think Celtic in particular have acted in the utmost good faith regarding all their contractual obligations to the tournament organisers.

My initial comment was that all football clubs have fans who are bitter against those with different views to theirs. Tell me please where I said something about Celtic that singled them out for criticism.
I’ve said how I believe Rangers slipped into administration, but to be clear HM customs served rangers with a bill for £9M due since the takeover, which for whatever reason was not paid. HMC started the administration process. They were then put into liquidation revealing £55M owed to various places plus £79M to tax authorities, which was later revealed as incorrect. What made David Murray panic and sell was the threatened impending tax bill and the problems his other interests were in.
If you believe these are not the facts maybe you could set me straight and explain why you think they are wrong.

You do know that that just sounds like smoke and mirrors stuff?

Am I correct or do you think something else happened?

Good stuff guys

At the other end I really fear for Kilmarnock think they'll struggle with all the youngsters they've brought in. Also I think Dundee will be in the mix for relegation.

Incidentally this was my opening post

bonzo, the 'whataboutery' comment I made was only an attempt at humour, there wasn't any offence intended towards anyone.

Shaun Maloney sacked by Hibs, that didn't take long.

After about 4 months that's ridiculous.

Watched second half Rangers B against Celtic B - Glasgow cup semi-final today live on you tube. Not an Union Jack or Tricolour in sight! How refreshing

Definitely a strange one, think killie better be prepared for a move on their manager.
