I suppose it is a sign of a good team when they can win 0-0.
Sadly, that is what is considered as Progrès at Sevco these days…
After failing to beat the Luxembourg side Mr Let’s Go didn’t go in for any excuses in the post-match interview.
However, he did say that the dressing room heating had been turned up!
If this is true then I expect a full UEFA investigation.
A warm dressing room?
The poor dears…
With the Close Season Cup safely in the Ibrox trophy room, the real stuff starts tomorrow on Planet Fitba.
The SPFL league flag will be unfurled at Celtic Park as the champions will host St Johnstone.
No amount of pishful thinking from the Stenography Corps will alter the fact that Celtic have an experienced manager in charge of the best squad in the country.
Moreover, substantial funds are still available to Neil Lennon if he wants to strengthen any position.
There has never been a time when Celtic have had such a financial advantage over a club playing their home games at Ibrox.
Indeed, even when David Murray was playing with the bank’s money the resource gap was not as wide as it is now.
In 1994 Celtic were minutes from insolvency.
It was a damn close-run thing.
Now Celtic financially dwarfs all others within Scottish football.
The death of Rangers in 2012 was an epochal event that the local media initially acknowledged.
However, since then the chaps on the sports desks have been playing pretend about Sevco.
Consider this, if David Turnbull had passed his medical then the Parkhead club would have spent over £3m on a player who was clearly a promising project and not a first-team starter.
Sevco’s resident MBE can only look on enviously at such resources.
Consequently, those emotionally blinded fools in the bookmaking sector have Celtic as strong favourites to retain their title and do Nine in a Row.
It wouldn’t be the close season if the usual atavistic noises were not coming out of Ibrox.
Oh dear…
Off the field, the disparity between the two sides is even more marked.
Celtic have highly lucrative deals with commercial partners who are delighted to be associated with the biggest club in Scotland.
By contrast, the Sevco High Command are at war with a vengeful billionaire.
Moreover, it is a shambles of their own making.
What is currently extant in the Blue Room is a catastrophic cocktail of duplicity, hubris and incompetence.
It is the Dunning–Kruger effect on steroids.
This court document has been verified as 100% authentic.
It doesn’t make for happy reading for anyone who has an affection for the basket of assets.
In the coming season, a lot of Sevco’s troubles will be played out in court.
I would not be surprised if Hummel litigate against the seven-year-old club before the end of this season.
My information is that the Sevco High Command are bracing for impact on that one.
For the avoidance of doubt, it isn’t Dave’s fault.
It never is…
What the car boot sale has done is to make the Ibrox brand utterly toxic to any of the large players in the merchandising world.
It has been proven in the High Court in London that the Sevco High Command in 2018 deliberately tried to subvert a legal contract that they had signed only twelve months previously.
The reputational damage this has done to the current regime is significant.
Of course, some things are constants.
What was conceived as a harmless night out of good clean Ibrox focussed fun for all the family quickly turned into a klan rally.
As this season unfolds it is likely that only the terminally unembarassable will be able to “rally roon Sevco”.
Meanwhile, the rest of Planet Fitba just looks on in ghoulish fascination as this freak show continues.
Of course, the shambles at Ibrox should be subjected to rigorous journalistic scrutiny from the Scottish media.
However, they’re too busy writing up match reports about nil-all victories for the basket of assets.

Can sevco Break the record for Penalty kicks?
Guess the best Sevco referee,
Witch ref will give them more?
Whose your favourite referee?
Wots your tally then! It’s your tally a record?
Hail Hail ☘
I see Stevie G is getting in a lather over the transfer lies being perpetrated about the future of the Columbian man/child.
He claims that there are mischief makers out there trying to unsettle his star man for whom he asserts there has not been a single enquiry never mind an offer.
Instead of making accusations of outside interference perhaps he should be having a word with King and the PR guru working at his behest in trying to start a bidding war for his star striker.
As an aside could anyone envisage a player whose knowledge of the English language,according to his manager, is limited to Yes and No, being lured to China even for the massive £200k per week that he has reportedly turned down………….even if no bid was made in the first place!
God knows how much money Kingco has thrown at PR since taking over the toxic Ibrox enterprise but for your money you would expect better rather than releasing a squirrel a couple of hours before the Chinese window closed and naming a club who already had theit quota of foreign players.
I read on one of the Sevco sites that there’s no. Need to worry re the SDIR case. Apparently Hummel have agreed to pick up the various bills in return for a ten year deal to provide the strips.
There are less delusional people in Carstairs.
Haha -scorer of their non – goal ! 🤘🏻🇳🇬😁
Thanks as always to Phil Mc G – you keep us in the know – I can’t believe King thought this would go well. …. ah hold it a minute. !
Omg it’s gonna be one almighty crash for
sevconia – the whole ‘ Pack Of Cards ‘ will topple I think. Leaving the Joker of the pack a total Busted Flush ! Ooft 😁👀
If I was the Editor of a leading Scottish newspaper…with dwindling circulation and advertising revenue….I think I might settle for mis-leading and potentially antagonising headlines and stories.
Why…??
Because its a racing certainty that sections of our support will be over it like a rash ….filling Blogs with their opinions….and you know what they say…
There’s no such thing as bad publicity.
Ignore the bastarts….they won’t be here much longer.
The ignorance of the blue side fan base is second to none.
I noticed a post about who would stand in their way to the Europa Group stage, thats if they overcome the Danes.
At the possibility of facing Wolves and being knocked out several posters were of the opinion that it would be no biggie and allow them to concentrate on domestic matters!
Have they no idea that Europa Cup Group Stage qualification might keep the wolves from the door when SD come calling?
You know things are desperate when the Daily Record’s headlline would have you bellieve that victory had been gained over the 4th best team in Luxembourg and only reading the small print confirms that the triumph was over the two legs.
The Chinese squirrel, the lack of questioning as to where the money will come from to pay off Sports Direct and Close Bros.
It’s as if the court writ doesn’t exist or the various editors have killed the story.
But for information shared on the internet none of us would be aware of the level of cheating that has emanated from Ibrox, who knows for how long, cheating aided and abetted by the SFA as is clear from the UEFA licence fraudulently applied for and signed off by the relevant SFA committee despite information in the public domain of outstanding taxes.
Maxwell has been hoisted into the top job based on what? It sure as hell wasn’t to rock the boat!
He would struggle to pass O level English as clearly demonstrated in a segment of his handiwork which was made public.
Let’s see how he handles the latest Ibrox crisis as the dominoes start to fall.
Phil, as far as I understand it the business
structure over there is as follows : the club is owned by The Rangers Football Club Ltd., which is itself a wholly owned subsidiary of Rangers International Football Club PLC.
Could the plan be to dump the debt of TRFC Ltd. by administration or liquidation while ownership of the club gets transferred directly to RIFC PLC.?
The old switcheroo as it were?
Quality stuff as per usual Phil calling it like it is.
I wonder when The Basket Of Ashes comes to pass if it should be forever known as The Casket Of Farces?
Did you say Casket of Faeces?
If Sinclair leaves then yes I think he would be a good replacement.
Should no one come in for Ryan Kent then maybe,
just maybe, he will cheer up all at sevco by returning there on loan, unless of course Celtic take him for around 7 million on a permanent. Everyone Anyone?
After their glorious 0-0 win, I am prompted to ask – who scored sevco’s non-goal? 😂
No doubt it will have been a penalty!!!.
Probably More-or-Less. He looked like a non-goal scorer all night!!!
Brilliant mate haaa 🤣👍🏻🇳🇬
