    by paying players through EBT's/dual contracts whatever the gripe is.

    I read some blow stating that they couldn't otherwise afford these players, therefore, ITS CHEATING.

    Do people actually believe this or are they just blinded by a hatred of all things Rangers and will say anything to discredit any title successes? Seriously, theres barely a team in the SPL that can afford the team that they put out week in week out....

    If Rangers were sneaking extra players on the pitch via some trap door on the pitch or were pumping their players full of roids...sure, I could accept that as cheating....but 11 players vs 11 players.....thats not cheating. Why should anyone care how they were paid? We turn up to be entertained...what possible difference can it make how the players are paid?

    sheesh...whats next, penalties for misuse of ISAs?

    The rules are quite clear. If you deliberately breach them, it is cheating.

    I don't want to repeat what everyone else has already said in terms of dual contracts - but separate from that, £30m in underpaid taxes vs Celtic actually paying that amount during the same period would have given Rangers at least a bit of an advantage. We might have forgave you a tiny bit had your fans and leaders not reveled in our supposed biscuit tin mentality during the period.
