Ah, that old chestnut. So are Celtic a new club since 1994 or when ever it was the club was transferred to a new entity? When McCann saved you?

That's a bloody good goal. Time I went. Not been there in decades.

Rangers used liquidation and therefore the end of the company to walk away from it's many debt. Started up a newco with no debts.

Celtic converted from private company to PLC like most of the big clubs.

Anyway looking forward to playing New Rangers someday.

"Anyway looking forward to playing New Rangers someday."

Might be a while Mic Mac, Berwick are still just in League 2.

Ah the two pet Celtc monkeys slapping each other's backs!

Have a read of these if you want to be educated as to how Rangers are still the same club even though in your wildest wet dreams you won't want it to be true.

If you want any of it read s...l...o...w...l...y so you can understand it, let me know!

Whisht, SCSB. You had me all excited there with a piccy of Derek Longmuir. Turns out to be David.

[SCSB79]

Ha ha - never noticed that typo.

Bay City Rollers fan?

[Atticus]

Will be at the Hamlet too!

[Alan Medic]

So Rangers bought all their trophies and went bust. Is that the gist of it?

[El Pibe]

At the risk of alienating the only people keeping this thread going at the moment, but can we give the tedious old firm nonsense a rest for a bit, there are entire fora dedicated to that sort of thing.

Where we, miwaw, cunts!

[Atticus]

Never a fan of this guy really but he's obv been working on the after dinner circuit and is quite gd

Put the rod away!

Not much else going on El Pibe and assumed on a football focus thread the chat could be anything related to football. Apologies if I've got that wrong.

[maxxi]

I know, only a friendly, trying things out etc etc... but what an inept and shitty performance.

[El Pibe]

Oh ignore me scsb, as you were.

[El Pibe]

Yeah, tonight was pretty terrible, well done chile though.

I was going to post the same yesterday, I'd rather there be no thread than keep reading this pathetic shite from two blokes that aren't from Glasgow.

[red devil]

The problem with you Ots is that you just don't understand... ;-)

The only set of bitter rivals that seem to get on ok on here are us and that 'wall lot

PD gives arsenal fans a bad name but I'm not aware of falling out with Jah and co

[Otta]

He has a photo of you on his dartboard, I've seen it.

[StraferJack]

I stand corrected then. Fair enough

Possibly because you don't get to play each other that often.
