Bear in mind I despise Celtic in my response to that. To point out Celtics failings in that season is a mere distraction from the actual debate. It is a wider debate around Rangers actions at that time. The whole 'sporting advantage' debate is a red herring for me anyway, in sport you can forever talk about the ifs buts and maybes and how much of a direct impact having De Boer or whoever in the team may have had. For me it's simple, was a form of deception and contravention of rules used to sign football players to compete for a league title. If so, there is a huge argument to say that title is void. There are many real life examples of teams being disqualified from competitions for administrative errors on a hugely smaller scale than this.

Actually I am not a huge advocate for title stripping, I'd rather see scottish football improved going forward. I am also trying to take an objective approach to the whole thing. Reading the linked piece it makes a very strong argument for title stripping it has to be said. I do appreciate that there is clearly a certain bias to the writing so it's hardly concrete evidence especially given not all of the facts can be verified. For example, I have never seen evidence that Rangers openly lied to HMRC during the EBT period so therefore I appreciate that may not be true. However, taken as read it is a pretty compelling argument. I would happily read a piece with as strong an argument to the contrary.

Great piece and puts forward a very strong argument. The final paragraphs echo my dismay at the fact we're coming out of this saga full speed ahead back to square one. A really depressing moment in Scottish football history.

You need to chill min

So in all of the one side screaming mike will send them to the wall and the other side screaming they will return as the greatest club ever, the reality is somewhere in between. Shocker.

That is a very reasonable post.

Celebrating the fact you DON'T have to pay the legal fees of the individual who absolutely rinsed you. Proud day for you

Whilst I agree with the sentiment I think you might be telling porkies if that's meant to be representative of Celtic's attendances...

I sort of agree but who exactly do the SFA answer to then? Where was the process scrutinised? Anywhere?

I'm sure this will be ignored and the Rangers fans on here will still claim the SFA are against them

I, for one, feel privileged to be a non-OF firm fan and be able to appreciate and laugh at the irony as they go back and forth arguing over which set of fans is more racist than the other

That "protest" is absolutely embarrassing by the way, whatever your views on that whole situation.

Holy shit. I just read that. Unbelievable stuff.

When does the annual report actually get released?

A profitable year for the dons recording a record turnover. Ahhh when will Armageddon end?

were you expecting to have happened by now?

I've actually just read Roger Mitchell's article on Linked In. Really quite depressing that his are/were views held by the people running the league. Utter disdain for all clubs bar two. It is such a poor attitude and so culturally accepted at the top of our game it is very worrying.

I actually agree with this. The worst was when David Moyes got sacked by Man United. Basically the entire Scottish football section on the bbc website was about Moyes being sacked, his time at man united, who might replace moyes, where it went wrong etc.

Thank you Craig Fowler. A modicum of common sense.

I would like more to come out publicly. It's not so much that Celtic have made a statement but so long as it's just the two of you having come out the daily record etc can just report is a war of words between you and the real issue will be lost in that bullshit. I did say in danger of becoming. I very much hope it doesn't.

A serious issue that is now in danger of becoming a public tit for tat between the old firm. How depressingly predictable.

ohhh thank you Rangers for enriching our lives so... if it wasn't so ridiculous I'd be fuming. Actually I am a bit. Arseholes

Two in a week fantastic

Fucking hell that is just a ludicrous article.
