There was one subject brought up at yesterday’s Celtic AGM that virtually no non-shareholder wants to discuss.
It’s not the Park’s of Hamilton issue that was seized upon by the usual suspects who like to find something to snigger at from inside their licence funded bubble.
Mention Resolution 12 and another type of licence, the one to play in UEFA competition and you’ll be greeted by the sound of silence as attention is focussed on more fun issues like Celtic’s coach supplier.
The second question raised from the floor at the AGM was for an update on Resolution 12 after Stewart Regan finally conceded that there were issues relating to the 2011 licence given to Rangers (IL).
The burning issue of the day for all Celtic fans as they disappear over the horizon from their old chums. Hmm. https://t.co/jTUI5bAAb3

How about the other burning issue raised immediately after. Ask the SFA how their investigation is going or is that not hot enough!

Ask the SFA. Make a great quiz show as contestants try to find them.

But Tom can’t make a snide remark about that as it means he has to acknowledge RFC and SFA cheating ?

Maybe he’s in a meeting or in the toilet or lost his phone????

Celtic shareholders had already provided the SFA with documentation relating to the issue but it took the witness statements at the Craig Whyte trial in June to force through action.
At the trial it was clearly established that the £2.8m wee tax case bill was overdue on 31 March when the SFA first approved the licence.
By 30 June Craig Whyte was in charge of the club, the wee tax case was out in the open but still the SFA proceeded to push for Rangers (IL) to play in Champions League qualifiers.
With Andrew Dickson now on the SFA Congress it seems that no lessons have been learned by the organisation which believes that Paul Murray, Dave King and Alastair Johnstone are fit and proper to hold office.
