I know I have not posted on hear for a while but there is absolutely no point in fight a ruling from the body of people who will be connected in some way to the next in line that sit on the case. It will be a long drawn out affair costing into the millions in the process. There are at present not enough waves out with Scotland to put any pressure for a reversed decision to come back in favour for every club supporters looking to get justice. I believe we need to drum up a major publicity campaign first such as Celtic making a stance by cancelling the first Ibrox games to gather publicity; it will certainly make headlines around the world as I reckon we are good enough to still win the league by more than three points if went down this road. The only down side in my opinion would be that Celtic will be asked to foot the bill for the lost revenue The Rangers accrued according to the SPFL ruling. Search for: - Non-fulfilment of Fixture Obligations https://spfl.co.uk/docs/067_324__therulesofthespfl_1375800603.pdf Our board aren't interested in anything other than hoping that everyone moves on and forgets about the Huns cheating. It's taken them all their time to release a shampooey statement but you think they would refuse to turn up for a game against the Huns they won't do a single thing about it, they have the season ticket money and they'll ride out any criticism until everyone starts moaning about something else.

Please tell me the board are playing some kind of smart tactical game on the EBT issue and are not just going to try and keep their heads down and hope the issue goes away?

The fact that we have to talk about crowdfunding,and getting other supporters involved while our own board sit there and say jackshampoo is bad enough, but the fact that it was our club that was most affected by the cheating just makes it doubly insulting.

I find it necessary to remind people that we aren't out yet. Last night can be viewed as many things - mostly garbage. But, frankly, it needs to serve as a wake up call to the team that they aren't going to coast this qualification like they did domestic football last season. We all know that Celtic should be beating Rosenborg, we have the team to do it, believe it or not. The board have backed Rodgers for my money. We just signed a player for 4 and a half million quid...
Other things have happened that the board will have to answer for at some stage. But drawing last night isn't one of them. Frankly, I think we'll turn it around next week.
We have no 3rd striker, they most certainly have not backed him. And it's that easy to find a third striker, eh? I'd love to know who the mystery man is who would like to come and not make the bench most weeks. Not only that, he's going to have to be CL quality to avoid catastrophes like last night, too?
So, please, who is this guy?

We have a network of professional scouts who should be able to answer questions like that. Why do you think some guy/woman from the internet should know these things?

Not only that, he's going to have to be CL quality to avoid catastrophes like last night, too? So, please, who is this guy? I think the "third striker" should really be our starting right sided forward/winger, i.e. the regular replacement for Roberts, and on most occasions ahead of Forrest for that slot.
From targets passed, for example, Onyekuru is a predominantly left sided player who's attributes and physique mean that he could also play through the middle. He also has the goal return to back it up. Ideally, we're looking for a right sided player who has also saw quite a bit of game time as a striker. There's plenty out there who can do so, but obviously there will only be so many who fit the bill and would come.
That way, you've got much more fluidity in that area and not simply resorting to finding the ageing specialist or SPFL level in-fill who's there to perform one role and only gets game time if Dembele and Griffiths are not available.

The rangers are a new club, the title stripping is for the oldco, if we boycotted the the rangers game it would strengthen their belief that they are the same club!!!
All the supporters associations need to get together and come up with a plan that is adhered to by all the fans. How about boycotting all matches in the League and Scottish cup, thus denying the SFA and other teams income? But in order for it to work, all fans would need to be on board.

If so, it might have been worth giving him the 1st 45 minutes - bad as he has shown us s far, he must have been a striker at some point in his career!!

Been asked to find a new club. Didn't go on the pre season tour, trained at Lennoxtown instead. Was never going to be an option based on that reality.
With good reason too I'd say. I don't see even Ciftci integrated into that squad from the beginning as having any impact last night.
That's not to say that a viable third option should not be there by now, especially one fitting what I described.

Please tell me the board are playing some kind of smart tactical game on the EBT issue and are not just going to try and keep their heads down and hope the issue goes away? The thing that speaks loudest to me on this issue is the ambition they showed for the first team after the Huns liquidated and Sevco were unfairly parachuted in to the bottom of the professional league system. Instead of pushing on to solidify our place as the eminent team in Scotland and trying to turn us into some sort of European contender, they ran the squad down and looked for all the world like they were just idling the time until Sevco could make an appearance and they could milk their Glasgow 'derby' cash-cow. Not only did it make us look like idiots on the European stage over successive seasons, it also gave everyone the impression that our fate was indeed interlinked with a dead club from across the city. As far as I'm concerned that tells me everything I need to know about where the board stand on the issue. I expect nothing from them, and I'm sure I'll be disappointed even then.

That's not to say that a viable third option should not be there by now, especially one fitting what I described. putting Rogic as striker meant we were weakened in 2 positions - we missed Rogic's midfield brilliance and we missed a centre forward as Rogic had no idea how to play the position (at one point in the 1st half he took a shy to Lustig, who crossed the ball into the keeper as there was no Rogic there to challenge!!) Rogic in his normal position, with Ciftci or even Aitchison up front would have been preferable
