In July, 2014, the HMRC lost the so-called ‘Big Tax Case’ against Rangers, as the case was thrown out of courts. It had been claimed that the club hadn’t been paying tax for a number of years, and there were also problems stemming from alleged use of Employee Benefit Trusts, otherwise known as EBT. In effect, Glasgow Rangers were cleared of any wrong-doing, so why is this being talked about?

Rangers fans simply can’t wait to hear the end of this sort of thing, because surely if a court of law has cleared the club, then it’s all just a case of Celtic fans – and those of other clubs – simply being unable to move on? There’s been a witch hunt in Scottish football over the past few years, glorifying in the fact that Rangers were placed down in the lower tiers of the game without first being found guilty.

In short, the sooner this all blows over, the better, because even though the finances at Ibrox still largely need to be sorted out properly, things seem to be back on an even keel, and those in charge seem determined to take Rangers out of the embarrassing mess – at least financially – that they’ve been over the past few seasons.

In many ways, there’s little difference between the Premiership and the Championship, because both leagues have one big team apiece, Rangers in the latter and Celtic in the former. For many fans at Ibrox, there’s very little difference between playing Dumbarton – for example – and Aberdeen, they’re just obstacles.

<rofl>
 
Being frank, Celtic are far from being a strong side themselves, so it wouldn’t really take much other than a fresh approach, a steely level of determination and some better players for Rangers to beat Celtic again. When that moment comes, maybe all the problems at Ibrox will feel like they’ve been washed away.
 

they didn't mention that the abuse was of a sectarian nature until the third paragraph of their second run of the story once the full FA report had come out because speculating on such a thing is absolutely daft and the kind of **** that gets editors fired which Roy would know except he's never worked in a real editorial environment because he skates by on handout positions like this from his friends allowing him to fail upward for an entire career

<laugh> That's actually one of his sentences. **** didn't even stop to breathe whilst he wrote it.
 
Ready for this?

George Hagen, Kilmacolm
, said: “That was a world-class performance from Rangers against Hibs. I think at least six of the players could walk into Celtic’s first team.“We better get Mark Warburton on a long contract because he is world class and the Scottish Premiership is going to come calling soon.”


<rofl>

Nothing about postponing a game against Gretna in December a week before their CL match versus Lyon.

The same BBC who keeps showing their games on the teuchter channel. Damn those horrid, Rangers-hating bastards!
