As we have seen with tardy steel shipments from the Far East, it is essential to plan ahead with any major project.
Consequently, I was surprised to find out that plans for said work were only submitted in April.
You can peruse them here.
This suggests to my untrained eye that perhaps the Copland Stand plans were not entirely copacetic.
Of course, I can’t be sure if they’re not indeed timely.
Therefore, unlike the Sevco High Command, I’m going to consult with a suitably qualified professional ASAP.
Meanwhile, I’m told that this most recent excrement exhibition at the stadium Mr Bomber played for has prompted a dignified intervention from south of the Limpopo.
I think it is fair to say that the ex-chairman, a man of convictions—41 of them to be precise—is not a huge fan of the Transcendental Chairman.
Perhaps those fine fellows in Club 1872 will, once again, be Dave’s obedient proxies.
With Mr King, it is always advisable to follow follow the money.
I suspect that if some generous person were to buy his shareholding in Rangers International Football Club (RIFC), then he would leave this saga for good.
As regular readers will know, the old days are gone for the brethren in the Blue Room:
Hector is watching closely, banks aren’t that generous anymore, and UEFA’s new FSR is forcing sustainability on clubs.
It’s difficult to see an upside to any of this for the basket of assets.
It really is…

I miss Dodgy Dave. Life was so much fun when he was around. The new guys a bit of a grumpy old sod although he is entertaining too 😄
Admirable as it maybe offering improved accessible facilities to fans, it seems to me it wouldnt be something they would undertake voluntary, not sure of stadia H & S regulations
12 weeks to determine an application so GCC will supply comments 25.4.24 +12 weeks at the latest. It is unlikely design will fully comply with Building Regs and there will be correspondence back and forth…..this can take days or weeks depending on the non compliance. The warrant will then be issued then work can commence. It seems like a novice is in charge and have applied for planning permission (this may still be needed) and didn’t realise they definitely need a Building Warrant.

The phrase “collapsing like a house of cards” springs to mind.
I can’t think why : )
……and please please please let it be Murray International Metals recently sold off Asian Division that were given the Steel order…that would be such Karma
A club founded on a lie in 2012.
And economical with the truth since.
How long has this been know about? Lets face it the Scottish Media are not going to report anything out of turn.
Wait til all 45000 sason tickets holders are committed for another season and then announce Ibrox is closed with no timescale for it to reopen.
Queens Park use Hampden so there are very few options.
This is excellent news as I believe this shambles will torpedo any chance they had of qualifying for the Champions League…oh dear what a pity
It seems the Senior Rangers reporter at the Herald has gone missing since this mess unfolded.
You would think he would be using his investigative powers ,No laughing
To get to the bottom of this story .
As ever the SMSM have their heads in the sand when all goes pear shaped over at Ibrox .
I think it is absolutely terrible how everyone puts the rangers into these sorry positions from relegating them down the leagues (making friends along the way I might add), courts case after court case, fines for selling their jerseys at the going rate, now asbestos and pesky building delays and regulations…. Shockerooni !
The upside is a man known for the pleasing warmth of his driveway
Sadly The Celtic Board Will Only Spend Enough Money to stay ahead in the Domestic League.
Nice to hear of Duplicitous Dave again, did he ever go away? Just checked how his company Sebata holdings is doing , down 42% this year to date and 71% in the last 5 . I’m sure any offer for his rapidly diminishing portfolio in the company that operates the club* would be most welcome. Personally I’d like to see him make a comeback, he was one of the banter years top contributors. I’m off to google “copacetic” now
Interesting to note that while the works at the stadium do not require planning permission, they do require Building Warrant.
A quick search of the Glasgow City Council Building Standards Web Register reveal that, although applied for, the council have yet to approve.
The project is also a staged application which means there is more information still required and other stages to be submitted.
I’m sure the Building Standards Staff at GCC will have now (or should be, given the highly publicised commencement of works) served a notice on the Holding Company
