‘Disgusting, no morals’ ‘Shameless’ ‘A board like no other’ Bankier and Nicholson get the message for their Sydney Cup love-in

Fourteen days after announcing Ange’s Homecoming Tour Celtic have finally admitted that they will play their city business partners in the Sydney Super Cup. 

After seven gushing paragraphs about playing Sydney FC the club confirmed that they will play a Glasgow Derby on November 20. Tickets for the match went on sale earlier on Tuesday with security concerns being raised about the two sets of fans sharing a city for the best part of a week. 

Many Celtic fans have suspected that the club hierarchy have sympathy and support for any club at Ibrox with the Sydney Super Cup rubber-stamping that view. 

In 2011 Peter Lawwell kept quiet about the UEFA licence issued by the SFA to a club that had an overdue tax bill of £2.8m dating back a decade to the disguised remuneration given to Tore Andre Flo and Ronald de Boer. Within a year Rangers went into administration followed by liquidation.

A year later the former Celtic CEO allowed the Five Way Agreement to pass without any comment or actions as the SFA began the process of pretending that a club formed by Charles Green and Mike Ashley had been around for 140 years. 

Since then Celtic have been hostages to a number of baffling decisions from the football authorities. Last season they lost the SPFL title to a club that took their losses to over £100m in 10 years with a £23.5m loss pushing Celtic into the non-champions route to the Champions League. 

With Douglas Park a director at Ibrox since March 2015 Celtic promote his company with travel to every home and away match.
