Back-to-back defeats for Rangers...

The question is, after this definitive ruling on EBT's, who will HMRC come after next?
The use of EBT's wasn't just confined to the occupants of Govans' "big hoose", other SPFL, EPL & EFL clubs as well as rugby union and rugby league clubs will be anxiously looking towards the car park for the forseeable future.Last edited by The Red Max; 05-07-2017, 12:08.

Originally posted by shackleford View PostBRC is WSC-speak for Big Red Club. The closest we have to one of those is my mob, but despite our clean sweep of second-place trophies (certificates?) last season we are a wee bit far away from being a global marketing behemoth in the mould of Man U / Liverpool / Arsenal..... so I'm struggling here.
I was just about to say that the new season will commence with the League Cup later today, when I've just seen that it actually started last night as Ayr beat Killie 1-0 at Somerset Park, thus preserving their impressive 24-year unbeaten run against their bitter rivals. Tremondous crowd of over 6,400 turned up. Is there enough interest in the other 15 ties to be played later today to cumulatively beat this figure?

"Surely Rory McAllister should be on an SPL club's radar at this stage?"
He's an interesting character. There were several SPL and English teams interested in him just before he joined Peterhead in 2011 apparently so that he could complete his plumber apprenticeship instead of going full time football. He's 30 now and very happy at Peterheid, which is a bit of a rarity in itself, but still surprising that no one has prized him away.

- Dundee Utd, Gladbach, Atleti, Napoli, New Orleans Saints, Elgin City
We won 2-0, 2 new scorers.
The negative element amongst the fans (I've joined a facebook group called Angry Arabs, that's my job away, then...) are rushing to find the dark side of every story- 'only 2500 there!' (there were nearer 4,000- not bad for summer fitba). And a derby game to look forward to.
Looking further on the bright side, Andy Robertson appears Anfield bound, so 15% of £whatever-million ought to save the overdraft for the season.

After Rangers' early Scexit, I'm hoping they or some daft English club throw silly money at Aberdeen for Kenny McLean, as Saints apparently get a sell-on fee. But knowing our crap negotiating skills, we'll probably get 0.0001%

Getting one of my likely three or so Hearts games this season in early, heading up to Peterhead on Tuesday.
That gets me down to 5 grounds to complete the set and leaves Arbroath as the furthest north. Looking forward to it more than I should be.

The only upset from the latest League Cup ties this weekend was Clyde beating Dumbarton 2-1. Business as usual eleswhere with the Premiership clubs all comfortably winning, bar Hamilton who needed penalties to see off QoS. I tuned into the Thistle-St Mirren match, but turned it off and went to bed when we went 2-0 down midway through the 1st half. It was clear to see Thistle were utterly supierior all over the pitch and I wasn't surpised when I checked the score this morning to see we'd been right royally humped 5-0.
Maybe the players have started to believe the hype written about them after last season's great finish, and having also lost to nil on Tuesday night at home to Livingston, I'm hoping these bad performances will be the kick up the arse they need before the season proper starts. Otherwise another season of shite awaits.

United prevail on penalties and are rewarded with a trip to .... er..... Dens Park in the next round. Other than that, the draw is dull. Home ties for Celtic and Rangers, and we have to go to Accies where we were beaten twice last season. Meh.
