Give ye 10 points back and we're still 7 ahead from 15 behind. We've wiped the floor with everything the SPL has had to offer since halloween, saying that we don't deserve this inevitable title is small time, bitter and deluded.

We could conceivably win this title by 30 points, how would it be default then?

15 ?
Put the Seville calculator away

You are funny, there is nothing default here. You will jump on the next bandwagon that happens to have a blue, white and red colour scheme

Rangers able to offer players 20,000 after tax.
Celtic able to offer players 20,000 BEFORE tax.

That's cheating in my book.

You do know Keith was talking about the last 3 years right ?
As in, the last 3 seasons when Celtic had more money to spend and Rangers were run by the bank ?

Might want to check your facts before getting involved.

Default title? I'm glad you have kept grounded and are accepting defeat and administration without becoming a sore loser. It would be very easy to become bitter in such circumstances...
I hope, as you have been such a good sport, that Celtic can share the title win with you lot in Ibrox.

Jelly and Ice Cream,

lol - You've been giving it with your Jelly and Ice cream patter for weeks, yet get pissed off when a Rangers supporter has a wee pop with default title?

Seriously?

monkey9 · 19-02-2012 10:39PM

Celtic would become irrelevant without Rangers and vice versa!!

Jelle1880 · 19-02-2012 10:39PM

Nah, I'll stick to my Helicopter Sundae.

there wasnt one bit of sincerety or hard feelings in my post, it was more directed at kieth than yourself though

PauloMN · 19-02-2012 10:42PM

Haha "default title".... here we go, knew it wouldn't take long.

What do you call the titles your club won by one point when you were cheating by not paying Her Majesty's taxes?

TBH dude i wasnt really having a go at you, i was fresh out of the Rangers thread and you were just the first post i'd seen.

There is a certain amount of hypocrisy in all football fans when it comes to what they think they can get away with, and the mockrage that comes when someone has a pop back - but recent times have definetly shown me that this hypocrisy can be not only magnified with the glasgow teams, but it can be downright disgusting tbh.

bobbysands81 · 19-02-2012 10:49PM

Loads of rumours doing the rounds that Whyte in big trouble this week. Theres talk of arrests etc...

Rangers fans really need to start getting some answers from the Administrators cos it sure doesn't look like Whyte is going to give them.

Are you taking the p!ss?? Rangers' history is now a joke. You bought titles with money you didn't even have!! Everything you know and believe in in that club is a fraud!! From Gazza, to Van Bronkhurst, to De Boer to whatever foreigner you're now ripping off the public to pay for!!

All those league titles. All those cup wins. The mess that the city of Manchester found itself in when Rangers fans acted the bollix!! That was all a fraud!!!!

You's deserve everything you get!! And i'm not even a Celtic fan!!!

Think you might want to follow Eirebear's advice about checking facts Jelle, Rangers has spent a similar figure to Celtic over the last few years and in fact if you look at the starting teams in the last derby game Rangers team cost twice the amount of Celtic's.

Until this week there was little impact on Rangers strenghtening their squad no matter what spin your club put on it!

So those 2 seasons without any incoming transfer are a figment of my imagination ?

Aye, but Celtic are capable of offering far larger wages than Rangers were over the last few years.

Really? Any proof of that?

I'm sure Celtic's wage bill is more than Rangers due to the number of players we have but I doubt there's much difference in the wages we pay our first team players.

Either way the whole Celtic couldn't beat a 'broke' Rangers arguement is rubbish

I'm not talking about the complete wage bill, but Celtic are definitely capable of offering better wages.

At this point Davis is the highest earner at Rangers, reputedly on 25k/week.

I thought Ledley was on 27k/week, Brown around that too I think.
It's no secret that over the last few years Celtic, due to their good financial running, have been able to offer players better wages.

spiralism · 19-02-2012 11:39PM

Default title...lol. Celtic could wrap the title up with 7 games left ffs, they got deducted 10, while 17 points obviously means the title race is dead, Rangers wouldnt have clawed back 7 the way things had gone. A lot of us would give Rangers back the 10 points to shut them up if we could and we'd still win the title anyways.

We have won every single game since Halloween ffs, that's almost unheard of despite the league we're in. We've nearly done enough on that alone to earn this title, it's not our fault the other shower got deducted points for cheating the Queen they love so much out of 49 million pounds.

Trust me, this title is going to be very legitimate, especially so if we waltz out in Ibrox the weekend after St. Paddy's and seal the deal there and then.

In this time that they were broke they bought:

Edu £2.6m
Davis £3m
Laugherty £3.25m
Jelavic £4m

Link posted from my mobile so not sure it'll work, STV article looking at all SPL transfers in the last 5 years, Celtic spent £35m and Rangers £33, hardly a massive difference!

Does show Rangers way behind on transfer fees received which actually gives an idication of how lax Rangers were with money over the years, spending way more than they were bring in.

It's a "default" title because Rangers went into administration by cheating and not playing on a level playing field as the rest of us???!!!

Hopefully the SPL/SFA now go after your tainted titles.

Ooft, first thing I see is Brown's ugly mug

And no denying that last part, Bain is largely responsible for that.

Can't wait for the implosion when they don't take our titles away, no matter the campaign from your side.

There's no denying the first part either mate no matter what Rangers PR have you believe!

I haven't called for or do I see titles being taken off Rangers but it'll probably a long time before you add to your total
