The £6m of last year's debt apparently wiped out by the money that was still due from the McGeady sale. We had already spent the McGeady money last year on new players for Lennon before we had received it all, which is why debt went up.

Turnover down because we only had two European home games.

Wages down to reflect the diminishing nature of Scottish football.

Thats about it.
 
Here's hoping for the League title and automatic entry into the Champions League...

Neil Lennon will then be able add some more quality players to a steady squad!

Why are we holding onto the likes of Rasmussen and Hooidveld? Surely they could be sold or at the very least taken off the books and given free transfers.

Or is it simply a case that no one wants them?
 
But what about that hidden debt of £100bn??

I mean desmond is clearly hiding it....i mean PLC's dont have to be open and account for every penny do they???

I doubt anbody wants them to be fair, and to give them a free transfer - does a club not have to pay up their contract?

Can see Lawell sanctioning this.

I could possibly see them being kept till Janaury at least (the way injuries are going) as back up only and then punted either on loan or for a nominal fee (if they can drum up some interest - maybe play them as subs or in the CIS cup/Scottish cup early rounds)

and the cost of Lennoxtown (more than the cost of the Olympics)

IM pretty sure we agreed a fee with whoever hooiveld was on loan to, so the whore must be on a fair wage for it not to go through. I believe he did alright on loan and the club were keen to keep him - so can only guess its him who wouldnt move??
 
Great to see a Scottish club posting these figures , without the benefits from the referees to gaurantee them champions league money. Can you imagine Rangers books the last two season without their help , their club would have been closed down by now .
 
Harryhood You have hit the nail on the head. If there was any, any fair play, if teams had not rested players against Rangers so that they would be fit and well to play against Celtic four or five days later. If referees had not given Rangers penalties for tackles outside the area, if referees had not gave penalties for a collision in the air followed by the Rangers dive. If referees reckoned there should be a quota on penalties given to Celtic and so slowed down and stopped giving Celtic penalties because they thought, that by some method Celtic had got enough and hence referees did not give Celtic penalties on the basis of the fouls committed.
Last year The SFA/SPL boards and Committees were dominated by Rangers employees, past Rangers players and Lifelong Rangers fans.
This new structure this year has yet to demonstrate its partiality/impartiality but with Campbell Og Heading the show I don't expect much fair play.
 
Getting the truth now , Rangers nearly bust and Gordon Smith gets the top job in Scottish football the man who had a book Rangers for me !!! They had to stop us winning four in a row or they would have gone bust , the same happened the following 2 years. , win the league or your club is history .Some of things that have hapened in last three years can't be explained by words, mind you as Saturday shows the refs maybe just like helping them out as they have done so for last 130 years
 
Some of you need to catch a grip.

Celtic got more penalties last season than another team in the SPL has ever got.

The Rangers ref at the weekend chalked off a perfectly good goal and denied a couple of stonewall penalties in the first half, after going into his dressing room at half time and having a gawk at the replays he was always going to give Rangers the benefit of the doubt the next time they went down, I was sitting in work watching the game with a lot of neutrals and we were trying to find a bookmaker (other than ourselves) who offered 'Next goal to be scored via Penalty' because we knew the ref would be under pressure to fix his earlier mistakes.

We have had plenty of things to complain about in the past when it has come to Scottish referees, let's not muddy the waters with bullshit conspiracies.

<ok> Talking sense Mick. It's getting painful reading about all these conspiracies about refs.

I had my usual bet of Jelavic anytime, Rangers to win. £50 at 13/8.
