Statements good enough for now.

Didn't want a war and peace effort like the huns ramblings.

Short, sweet and to the point. As others have said it puts it firmly in the associations court now.

There is no point us diving in without knowing what their next move is.

Unsurprisingly, its wishy washy pish.
what were you hoping for? I think that's exactly what we should be saying right now.
I'd rather we went for the jugular and got tore into the cheats. Not saying we should resort to the Hun level of statement but expected something a bit more direct.

There's no if's, buts or maybes now - they're a bunch of systematic cheating carrots and should be called out.

Statement reads very much like a shot across the bow.

Far more to come on this, hopefully it's not just us and that all SPl clubs( with the obvious exception ) can find common ground to demand proper repercussions.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
I agree, the club should be out in front of this demanding a review of the LNS stitch up or if possible a judicial review
Maybe, but not at this stage
The result speaks for its self, better let the SFA/SPFL respond first.
I agree the club probably had to come out with the initial statement they just have. But already it leaves the initiative with the SFA as to what the next move is. And I'm sure we can guess exactly what, and how soon, that response is going to be.

I'd therefore hope (but don't expect) that the club already has its next move planned - and planned soon, so a revision of the LNS findings can be made.

They could at least have said they were seeking legal advice

The statement was wishy washy pish.

It should have been a statement of intent that showed we would seek all avenues legally/morally in respect of a club found to gain a sporting advantage.
SFA have said now, 'naw'... We've allowed a back slapping corrupt organisation to do as they will.
I'll bet Celtics next statement is 'aw, well...uhm'...

Total whitewash which our silence has allowed .

I think that statement does enough for now. A few hours after a decision is not the time to come out all guns blazing. If nothing is done about the titles obtained via cheating, then I think we and/or any other club can threaten them with a judicial review. I think the statement implies that we will not tolerate nothing being done.

The statement was bang on the money and was a thinly veiled warning to do the right thing.

Now they need to remove the thinly veiled stuff and go for the throat after the SFA's pish. It's how we react to that, that shows how serious we are.

The SFA have already replied: :loel:

The Board of the Scottish FA notes the judgment of the Supreme Court and wishes to clarify the implications of this final legal decision from a football regulatory perspective.

In light of the Inner House of the Court of Session decision, the Board of the Scottish FA sought external senior counsel opinion to ensure a robust and independent consideration of all implications of today’s judgment.

The Board received written advice from Senior Counsel, amplified when the QC attended a full meeting of the Board to discuss his conclusions.

Specifically, Senior Counsel was asked to anticipate whether a determination in favour of HMRC, as announced today, could imply that there had been a breach of the Scottish FA’s Disciplinary Rules as they applied at the time of the EBT payments.

The clear opinion of Senior Counsel is that there is a very limited chance of the Scottish FA succeeding in relation to any complaint regarding this matter and that, even if successful, any sanctions available to a Judicial Panel would also be limited in their scope.

Accordingly, having had time to consider the opinion from Senior Counsel, and having examined the judgment of the UK Supreme Court, the Board has determined that no further disciplinary action should be taken by the Scottish FA at this time.

The only country in the world were the authorities won't punish cheating yet I doubt they'd be so reluctant if it were us.

I'm sorry but that is absolute bollocks. The idea that in football no sporting advantage is gained by financial doping is complete and utter nonsense. I think Celtic and the rest of the clubs need to start thinking about a class action suit - these clowns clearly can't govern themselves.

Is this tax case appeal not all a bit of a red herring anyway? The players registrations with the football authorities was the main rule breaker. Doesn't matter how it was done. Spartans being punished for not signing the contract properly being one example off the top of my head. Except the Huns did it deliberately with side letters. Even if BDO won the appeal the players were still not registered properly. Did Sandy Bryson not say that the the players were ' Improperly registered but eligible'? The football authorities plan to do nothing.

We got rid of Farry over the Cadete incident. That looks trivial now, in comparison to what has just been proven to have happened. The current Celtic board need to show a semblance of the drive of Fergus, and clear out the rest of the SFA now.

Yup. No more sitting back and keeping your powder dry.

We'll soon see if our board has the stomach for the fight.

Good statement from Celtic which keeps our powder dry for the moment.

The real politicking will be done by on the Board of the SPFL. The SFA are irrelevant for just now.

The LNS inquiry concluded that the EBT scheme was legal and open to use by any other clubs if they wished. Rangers therefore gained no sporting advantage. The scheme has now been conclusively proven to be illegal, and only Rangers were using it.
