Keith Jackson has revealed that a peace deal has been struck between the SFA and the Ibrox Tribute Act.
Despite the benefits of having a unique set of rules through the Five Way Agreement of 2012 the club and their messengers have spread the myth that Scottish football is rammed with their enemies, determined to deny them the success that they are entitled to.
The season just ended brought it to 57 SPFL matches without a penalty being awarded against the Ibrox club, champions Celtic conceded seven penalties. In 10 UEFA matches last season Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side conceded four penalties.
It is more than three years since a Scottish referee sent off a home player at Ibrox, last season Callum McGregor and David Turnbull were sent off at Celtic Park.
With UEFA now solely in charge of Financial Sustainability, spending has almost ground to a halt at Ibrox which is likely to have a big impact on Micky Beale’s plans, failure to reach the group stage of the Champions League this season could be very costly.
This morning, in the Daily Record Keith Jackson reports:
Just last week, for example, Bennett and his chief executive James Bisgrove sat down with SFA counterparts Ian Maxwell and Mike Mulraney to press reset and wipe clean all the festering bad blood spilled by Park and Dave King, both of whom seemed determined to start a fight in an empty Blue Room during their time at the helm.
Who knows, they might even finally draw a line under their wholly unedifying, utterly mortifying legal feud with the SPFL over title sponsors Cinch now that Park has been put back in his box?
Rangers and their lawyers firmly believe they are on the right side of this particular argument and, for once, that may well be the case. But, even so, the sooner this costly distraction is resolved and put to bed, the better it will be for all parties.
Blaming King and Park for the problems is highly convenient, wiping the slate clean is something for everyone outside of Ibrox to be suspicious of.
Oh dear grassing up Park and the CHISLER KING as the people who caused all that hassle with the SFA previously,that’s like Sunak saying it was Johnson and Truss that caused all that mayhem and trouble and crashed the economy,but it had nothing to do with me,while serving in the same regime.
Maybe they went to the SFA meeting to finally admit that the the tribute act are in fact a new club/ company ? For god sake ,don’t hold your breath for any length of time …..
Is there anything left to give them ! – Goldson’s basketball law… Musn’t award even the most stonewalling penalty against them… Musn’t show any of their players a red card… They pick to play first TV wise any week they want…
If you thought last season was bad – think again…
It will be a miracle if Brendan can overcome all the skullduggery and cheaters to see The Hoops retain our title…
That cheating is the reason that I gave up my season ticket and stopped paying to watch a rigged game in The Premier League in Scotland…
I just give Celtic that money now in merchandise !
Sorry to say bud but your still buying into a rigged game as our own club are playing their part in it.
Listen to the song Say It Ain’t So Joe by Roger Daltrey the words are perfect for what is going on in our game,corrupt with money.
It’s only like a child taking it’s very first steps Scud – but the fact that they’ve shown that they have a little bit of balls by banning BBC Scotland and Peter ‘McGuire’ might just (but I’m not holding my breath) led us to hope that they’d tackle the appalling Anti bias of officials – both on the field of play and VAR…
I know Ange left and it was important to recruit Brendan and this took a few weeks to set up, but after we won the treble we should’ve been screaming about these officials from the rooftops and being treble winners – and world record ones at that – they certainly couldn’t level accusations of sour grapes at us…
But of course nothing that I know off – through blogs only – has happened as per usual !
So the Johnjames blogger is a PayPal access only to his blog. I could see the point to this if the guy ever came up with some exclusive news but nobody ever repeats any of his stuff from his blog,I would imagine most of it if not all of it is just huff and bluff then.
The guy has been going for a number of years now without ever revealing anything spectacular story wise,and yet he is forever out with the begging bowl doing more tapping than a blind man’s stick.
So what they’re saying is well turn our blind eyes of skullduggery cooked books dodgy signingsand rules and regulations 5 way agreement with the Sfa Spfl Referee’s and our fellow brethren and sons of william.
Nothing new then Can’ts that they are
Who let the goat’s out .
