Celtic have laughed off demands from Sevco for an apology after an online article referred to the 3-0 win over the Ibrox side in April as the last ever derby.
Hoops fans celebrated like never before as the champions turned on the style to demolish their city rivals 3-0 with Charlie Mulgrew, Kris Commons and Gary Hooper on target that April afternoon.
At that time Rangers were already in administration with liquidation announced in June followed by desperate attempts by the SPL and SFA to create a place for newco in the top division.
After 125 seasons of rivalry the Celtic v Rangers fixture was dead with the matter chronicled in a review of the year that appeared on the Celtic website alongwith other events from a momentous year.
An eagle-eyed Ibrox insider spotted the apparent slight prompting an article in the programme against Elgin City on Saturday which was then published on the club website.
It claimed: “When Rangers were at their lowest ebb, the likes of Celtic, Dundee United and Hibernian seemed to be most keen to keep them pinned down.
“There were others too, including some in the media, who seemed to delight in the fact that the Light Blues were getting weaker by the day.
“Lawwell once said Celtic didn’t need Rangers and perhaps he was right. They seem to be prospering both at home and abroad without us, so let’s leave them to it.
“By the same token, the last six months have proved Rangers don’t need Celtic either.”
That final comment can be judged once Charles Green’s holding company get around to publishing their first audited accounts.
Green has talked regularly of Celtic from his wish to hear the Champions League anthem to including the club in statements made about British and European leagues.
Celtic have steered clear of commenting on any of Green’s claims and weren’t prepared to play ball when they were approached by the Daily Record for a reaction to Saturday’s opinion piece.
A Celtic spokesman told the Record: “It’s quite bizarre, but not worthy of further comment.”
Former Daily Record reporter James Traynor is now the communications director at Ibrox.

more rubbish from jabba……
James traynor was and always will be a complete arsehole. I apologise for the language bhoys but the crap this guy has been spewing for years is unbearable
A very fat arsehole
A very fat disgusting arsehole
He gives other arseholes a bad name
ANYTHING written by jabba should be treated as garbage, this “man” has shown his true colours, and is seen in sports journalism as a complete joke.
a very fat ugly arsehole who suffers from mouth and foot disease every time he opens his mouth he puts his foot in it
I saw some bampot tweeting that Sevco should get an apology from Celtic. But even funnier was the clown that was outraged at UEFA’s 2012 review which stated they went into liquidation and a new company reformed in Div 3. He has contacted Graham and a few others demanding that the club get an official apology from UEFA or they will boycott Europe (When they are allowed back) saying they will bring European football to it’s knees…..how utterly deluded can they be.
Dead and now dying again, wait until the end of season when they lose another £ 8-10m. We will soon see where their debt free crap gets them.
That’s got to be a Tom on the wind up, no?
Well one things for sure, its gonna kick off, but let be clear.
Rangers where liquidated
The Ranger bully little clubs that speak the truth
The Rangers will not bully Celtic
Celtic will probably laugh at them again, infact, lets all do the Lawwell, lets all do the Lawwell
KTF
In my best shouty Jack Nicholson voice:
“You can’t handle the truth, sevco”.
Or
“Heeeeeeeeeres HECTOR” hail hail
They talk about us being obsessed..what was that clown doing on our official club website..
If our club released such a childish article like that on our official site like the one dickson did on the sevco site i would be extremly embarassed…
They continue to be the embarrasment that the previous club was…to make themselves feel important and still be recognised they create these silly little childish squables but still they an irrelavance, and the sooner green does the joe toff an leaves em up shit creek without a paddle the better, we can all watch them die of a second time..
THERE IS NO RANGERS AHAHAHAHAHA
Rangers pain ended when the vet gave them the big jag! Sevco’s pain is all in the heid. Anybody know a decent animal psychiatrist?….. Or even a rubbish wan!. R.I.P. poltergeist F.C.
Can we at servco 5088 get an apology please ????????
Cue…
Tumbleweed????
When your dead your dead no point telling everyone your no dead.
No regrets
No apology
No remorse
Sevco international zombie club.
They sure sound dead.
Why do we even give them the time of day ? Rangers are dead and that’s that ! Old firm games are dead we won the first one and we won the last one that fact ! As for jabba he is not worth a f**k that’s why the record got rid !
There is NO Rangers, there is NO Old Firm, let them bleat like weans about what they want..as long as it doesn’t undermine any other clubs. Celtic and the SPL should, through unofficial channels, bullet any nonsense coming from Sevco’s ballbags.
Writing about that old club who used to be called rangers is what those who cling onto the past want. They don’t exist anymore. They are a fourth teir club barely six months old. leave theme be.
Its killing they scumbags that the old firm is thankfully dead, it was never something that benefited us anyway, good riddance to that shower of shite, celtic fc no longer guilty by association, rangers are broon breed. And if that joke act ever do cheat back to our league they will never be a rival, just another team, albeit with the thickest smelliest fans
Thank you and goodnight Rangers football club!!
Call them what you like, Sevco, The Doppelrangers, Zombie FC, fact is they are still deid and no amount of repeating the lie will alter that. Indeed they are so pathetic and obsessed with US that they are peddling the myth that Celtic was liquidated in 1994 when Fergus took over.
To me this really tells you all you need to know about their mindset. They KNOW their history has gone and cannot accept that we continue with our 125 glorious years of being more than a club.
Traynor’s grubby little paw prints are all over that article, so treat it with the contempt it deserves. It’s just another arrogant statement from an arrogant little man working for an arrogant ‘little’ club.
They are nothing but a tribute act so who actually cares what they have to say.
Good will always, in the end, triumph over evil!
