Celtic should be thrilled at the prospect of the revival of the Old Firm, and more importantly of competition. He said: “Celtic’s business model is an exact mirror of Rangers’ model. For Celtic to be successful commercially requires a strong Rangers. King talking pish.... Lawwell has stated countless times that Celtics business model is not dependant on a strong rangers
"I'll check the books for crooks", says Dave King as he states he will find out how 70m was spent. Aye, and whilst you're there, get Ian Huntley in to be janitor.

“The Champions League income led to an investment fund and we used that to invest in infrastructure and players. That model should be sustainable once we get the club back at a competitive level first.” How can you have had an investment fund when you were always in the Red? Any Investment Fund they had was basically money that should have been used to service their debt.
Gordon Waddell in today's Sunday Mail. "Rangers are a new club. How often have you heard that in the past three years? The obsessive, the defensive, the demented, the barrack-room lawyers and conspiracy theory crackpots. They’ve all told us until they’re green in the face. Ironically, though, that’s exactly what Dave King should consider he’s inherited. A new club. Anything else and he’ll be doomed to repeat history". I wonder which heading Donald Findlay comes under? Is he too "green in the face" ? (snidey innuendo that it's only Celtic fans who have said Rangers are a new club). And what heading do the 250 creditors who lost millions come under? Appalling journalism, lazy tired rhetoric, instead of focusing on the story at hand -which is a big one, the one he's been favouring since Dave King threw his hat in the ring, he decides to have a shotgun attack on Celtic fans.
Nil By Mouth seemed to have changed their remit, I thought they were a charity whose role was to root out Sectarianism, not decide on their own what words are likely to cause offence or controversy. This has got to be a joke right? "CELTIC striker John Guidetti has appeared on Dutch TV singing “the huns are deid”. The Hoops forward, on-loan at Parkhead from Manchester City, sang the song while being interviewed on Holland’s FC Rijnmond football programme. He sang: “Oh John Guidetti, puts the ball in the net-y, he’s a Super Swede and the huns are deid, walking in Guidetti wonderland.” Afterwards the 22-year-old Celtic star said the terracing chant was “a good song”. A number of Rangers fans have now taken to Twitter accusing the Swede of using an offensive term. It follows a recent petition lobbying the Scottish Parliament to have the use of word “hun” outlawed.The petition was launched by a group of Rangers fans who claim pejorative term used against Protestants. In 2012, three Celtic fans walked free from court after a not proven verdict on a breach of a peace charge said to have been aggravated by religious prejudice relating to a banner displaying the slogan ‘Huns FC’. Speaking about Guidetti’s TV appearance, Nil By Mouth Campaign Director Dave Scott said Scottish football chiefs need to do more to educate players about terms likely to cause offence. He said: “Just a few weeks ago the SPFL knocked back our bid to become its charity partner. We offered to deliver awareness training to players about words, phrases and actions which are likely to cause offence or controversy. “This would have been particularly useful to players from outside Scotland. This incident highlights once again the need for such a programme with players.” Celtic have been approached to comment on the footage, but have yet to respond. Tonight a Celtic insider said: “John was asked to sing the song that is sung about him. “He doesn’t know what the song is about or the content of it but to suggest there is any sectarian element whatsoever is absolute nonsense.”
