Worst Celtic strip ever. New Balance is awful, wish we would go back to Nike or Umbro.

I always wanted us to have an Adidas kit when I was younger.
The green and white away last season was nice but there are only so many retro designs to remake before the manufacturers have to think out the box.
Not the worst away kit for me though, we had some classics in the 90s.

Attacking undercover cops in Amsterdam, a '**** UEFA banner', numerous flares and doing dumps in carrier bags or disrupting the November silence every year with IRA songs? I mean come on, how many charges have UEFA had you up on?

You don't have a clue what you are talking about when it comes to football and Rangers. Illegal contracts
Utterly clueless.

Even the most bitter players and people involved like Sutton and O'Neill know the score. You got pumped 11 vs 11.

Must be my imagination. The taxman never went after money owed due to EBT's. Nope this never happened. Between 2001 and 2010 Rangers did not pay £47.7million to players and staff in tax-free loans. None of this ever happened.
HRMC never won the case. Nope this never happened.
Next you will be telling me Rangers were never liquidated and the old club didn't die.

Also a side being deducted 10 points due there own incompetence and financial mismanagement and then going into liquidation in no way makes the rest of league void.
It's like saying Inter Milans Serie A wins were worthless when Juve were demoted. Nevermind the fact that Juventus were guilty of cheating.
So Rangers titles won on the back of financial cheating mean what exactly?”

Yawn.
Every club bar St Johnstone in the SPL went OTT with the TV money, only they didn't end in debt. And that includes your club. And mine/Frankie's. As to EBT's, they were perfectly legal. And YOUR club used them. You may not like them, but who cares?.
HMRC has won nothing but the right to appeal rulings given in favour of Rangers.
This idea that Rangers won what they did due to EBT's etc is just pathetic. Rangers won or lost due to what happened on the pitch. And this period also was the period where Celtic won numerous leagues and cups, had their best Euro success in 30+ years, so make up your mind. Grow up and stop whining. EBT's didn't beat you in those years, EBT's didn't win you leagues and cups.

We can argue for weeks about the bad behaviour of BOTH sets of fans. Both clubs supports have their bampots, idiots and low lifes. Trying to score points off each other is rather silly.

Not even close mate. You had some truly horrific away tops in the 90s. As a Rangers fan, the best Celtic top imo was the white away a few years ago with a stylish thin green and yellow stripe. That was a stylish strip.

Wrong. HRMC won the case and its now the liquidators BDO who have challenged the ruling and taking it to the Supreme court. Please keep up.
If everything was legal as you say can you just care to explain what exactly were HRMC looking?
No what's pathetic is a near decade of not paying the full amount of tax to employees and signing players that otherwise wouldn't of been signed if it wasn't for the use of a scheme to avoid paying your beloved Queen her tax receipts.
Quote:
“So far as the footballers are concerned, at least, it seems to us that if bonuses had not been paid they might well have taken their services elsewhere. We realize that the fifth respondent [Rangers 2012] was in, potentially, a difficult financial position, competing for good players in an international market where other countries may not have the same rigorous approach to taxation as the United Kingdom. Nevertheless, the law is clear: the payments made in respect of footballers were in our view derived from their employment, and thus the payments were emoluments or earnings.”

Its a conspiracy I tell ya. Everyone has ganged up on poor Rangers.
You might not like it but for anyone to try and claim no league title has credibility if 'Rangers' were not in the same division yet somehow titles won during a decade of dodgy payments to players was credible is simply laughable,

Easy win for Rangers tonight, 3-0 going on 10 again. Niko looks a real classy player, Rossiter was very impressive as well.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
But the real hero tonight was ...... JB every pass was world class , even the 5 yard ones ! FFS

JB played well, a class act. I bet you can't wait to see Joe Allen.....oh wait he went to Stoke. Still, you've got Scott Brown

What has happened to Alloa in the close season, won three games, top of the table. HOW?

I quite liked the idea of the new format but it seems like it's been going on for ages now. All the wee teams have played numerous matches and the holders are already out before the big boys even join in.

They've backed the manager, they've signed Jim Goodwin from St Mirren and Calum Waters from Celtic amongst others.

On Radio Scotland last night they were saying that some of the clubs are using the group stage games as pre season friendlies as a way to save money which isn't exactly great to hear. Only 319 at the Alloa game last night.
The Irn Bru Cup is going to be interesting. Celtic Development side playing Annan at Cappielow next week live on Premier Sport. Can't see much of a crowd at that at all.
Efe starts.
I'm not religious but I've got the Rosary beads out and I've already said 10 Hail Mary's.
