Loyal Rangers supporters have opened their own glorious shop the Sons of Struth William continue to boycott official club company outlets.
The Rangers Supporters Trust will now offer fans an incredible chance to buy club company team-themed merchandise at the non-Catholic school across from the stadium and the ingenious scheme could be rolled out to other organisations such as the Orange Order, Ku Klux Klan and UKIP to raise funds for the club company team RST.
Some profits from the sales will be used to invest in a future share issue being championed by Rangers saviour Mr King while a significant proportion will be used to purchase Mark Dingwall a supersize royal blue mankini.
The settlement of the £5m loan to Ashley will see Rangers’ key assets like Murray Park, Edmiston House and the Loving Cup returned to the club and mean the evil Sports Direct owner will no longer have control over their registered trademarks.
An RST spokesman told the Day Late Ranger: “Look, we only do what Mr King tells us. It’s simple, just like us. If he asked us to sit in a corner all day and fart we’d do it. Well Mark would anyway”.
“If you want to see your money going towards the club company just give it to us and we’ll look after it. It will be sitting nice and safe next to the fighting fund and our brand sparkling new angry bucket”.
“We are selling good stuff for £20 and making a tenners profit that will go into a secret fund. This is a good way of getting money to us in cash that is hard to trace and easy to transfer around from pocket to pocket thus cutting out the middle man. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink how’s your mother?
“The message has got to get through to those idiot Rangers supporters that if you buy official merchandise it hurts Rangers and helps us. It really is that simple.
“The next message is We are the People, every other club in Scotland is to blame for our problems and you are gullible fools if you believe a word we say. Please edit the last line out Chris”.
The RST – Fine Upstanding Dignified Supporters
Do we expect they will pay the vat and tax either income or corporation tax on the sales………….or will they stay true to form and pay nether
But it saves nothing. The contract they have with Sports Direct is for a set amount of merchandise and they pay for them spld or not. So the more “unsold” means less capital input and the same capital output. Some numptie agreed this deal and the rest of the numpties don’t get ut and will cost their club even more. Brilliant.
Wonder if they will start selling Sevcos at ‘2 furra poun’ as in buy one get one free? Or some ‘feeshel’ Dave King gonks with the wobbly eyes?
Everyman s against us we don’t care, wee area peepul!
I hope they pay up front if they hire a face painter, grrrrrr!
Don’t these idiots not realise that it makes not a jot of difference to Big Mike..For every one they buy it leaves another in the Shop so it’s win win for The Big Guy because The new club Must buy it from Ashley..Ye fill yir boots ya shower a clowns
You just know they’ll be setting up a stall at ‘The Barras’ in the run up to Christmas. Tax & Vat don’t apply, cause dave says so. HH

I don’t pay much attention to people who have a british empire appendage to their name.
THE LISBON LIONS.
Manager MR JOHN STEIN/Assistant Mgr Sean Fallon/Coach Neil Mochan. /Goal Keeper Ronnie Simpson /sub John Fallon.
Full Backs Jim Craig /Tommy Gemmell.
Half Backs Bobby Murdoch /John Clark./Captain and Centre back Billy Mcneil( Hail Cesar)
Jimmy Johnstone /Willie Wallace /Stevie Chalmers /Wee Bertie Auld (huge in heart) Bobby lennox.
All assembled within 30 miles of Glasgow,We will never forget them.
Not buying official club merchandise is fine with me,there only hurting their own club which has to make up the difference in any shortfall.
Like King and his takeover,hasn’t been thought thru, ZOMBIES

wotabunchabozos, they are fekin smashin ;is sevco shite
Back to our club i cant get off on how miserable it is for rangers old or new. Probably get pelters for this but both clubs have symbiotically ensured two decent teams in europe over the decades and theit decline has weakened celtic no end. Dont get me wrong i hate the bastards as well but id rather hate them four or more times a year gubbing them and hurting them where it hurts most. Nothing like an old firm game. Ive been to many befor emigrating here in oz and remember getting a lift over at the rangers end by a hun with my scarf hidden. That was The day of the ibrox disaster i remember johnstone scoring and stein equalizing. I remember a lot of more positive times where these two historical giants played out bruising and entertaining encounters. I hate them gone beating them is fun. And these are the games that will bring the class players back to scotland .
Wow…..theres just so much wrong with that…..its hunnish.
Hmmm yeah right…you want a few fuck king billys . Just want scottish fitba good again unfortunately the forces of darkness back everybody knows it just shitein it to say it
shamrock ya bass ..that better ?
The vast majority of us don’t want anything from ibrokes,nothin to do with king billy or shamrocks…….old firm??? Not tarring me with that brush.Two cheeks of the same arse mentality,no fuckin chance.
You may wish to lump UKIP in with Rangers due to their ‘little Englander’ mindset, but UKIP want out of Europe and there ain’t no club in these isles better at getting out of Europe than Celtic.
Down with that sort of thing.
Are you saying DEILA OUT? 🙂
Rangers are dead and they killed themselves. We now have a chance to build a new kind of league minus the elephant in the room. Times change we must move on. Sevco is likely to go bust and we need to look at the other teams in Scotland to build a new order. I do not miss Rangers and I am very happy they are gone. Sevco will make me happy when it goes bust and the vile bigoted hoards that follow it have to find somewhere else to be superior! Let’s not perpetuate the old firm myth here. It’s over let’s move on. If you miss Rangers them seek medical advice
Charlie Saiz seems to miss them, can’t stop talking about them…….sniff.
monti went fishing again…Yep you guessed he caught nowt’ 😉

If you are using the above stats. to back up your theories of the current management team,then your flogging a dead horse,away back to the fishing.
American Pickers in Texas, them Yankees are just like Hemmaroids its ok if they go back up, but if they dont they are a pain in the Erse.
I’m just pointing out that the claims made by some that playing 1 Striker in our Domestic game is costing us goals.
I don’t fish Mike you been watching jackanory on Gold?
You have a problem with facts Mike?
I haven’t picked up a fishing rod in over a decade bud for the record.
I believe you told me you were away fishing a week ago or so?
Surely one of the chocolateur fraternity wasn’t lying?
I believe you may have picked that up wrong Monti.
It was you who was fishing for a bite with a snide comment.
Or in simplified terms trolling again.
All I did was highlight the fact by posting:
Went fishing..caught nowt’.
Aah I see now, unfortunately I wasn’t in that mode at the time of you telling me you went fishing, hence my reply at that time.
All perfectly innocent.
” It was you who was fishing for a bite with a snide comment “?
Most of my comments are placed with a bit of humour in them, not all but a fair amount.
‘Snide’ isn’t accurate Charlie saiz.
You need to drop the defensive shell bit….
No I think I’m fairly spot on with my observation there Monti.
Charlie Saiz,
I’ll need to look back at the thread to see but I remember saying something about you ” going fishing on a day like today ” if I remember right it was an awful day.
I would be very surprised if I was wrong because the reply I gave was of someone who thought, you had actually gone fishing.
facts charlie so the fact of the first celtic team not to win a group game in europe? 2 points? discuss
It’s 3 points for 3 draws.
No problems with facts its how they are skewed that gets me,I hate to say it again but Montis right, you said a week ago on the blog ,went fishing caught nowt.
did you go or not, if you didnt then why say it? or is this another attempt to adjust the truth, because Charlie bhoy you and i both know that Montievideo ,speaks the truth.
Those scoring stats ae not skewed they highlight the fact we are not losing any of the potency up front by playing this new system.
Hence me saying “makes for an interesting debate no?”
Now we can talk about the fantasy realm of 2angers all night but personally I think they occupy to much mental space in some Tims nappers?
Hence a wee curve ball to a debate that’s been raging for almost 2 years now and resufaced this week again in the papers.. Cascarino & Wilson
I have pulled Monti up on more than a few occasions now for trolling me in debates.
When I seen his comment I simply replied “Went fishing..caught nowt'”
Which was a direct reference to Monti trying to bait a response.
He knows this is fact we have spoken briefly about these things before.
Hope that finally clears up the fact I personally don’t go fishing but even less so on a wet shitey day.
I agree on some of what Monti says we are not a million miles apart when it comes to the direction this Board has us going in.
We both agree that’s where the real issue lies,I have even offered up a solution.
We don’t agree on Deila and we have a difference of opinion on tactics.
No big deal.
Charlie Saiz,Thanks for sharing that.
Im always suspicious of stats,they can reflect anything that the author wishes.
I never ever discuss them they are totally irrelevant to me.Montis views sometimes reflect my own but not always.
I want Celtic in the C.L. with a little investment that has been and will be acheivable.
There are various solutions to acheiving that but i will leave that for now,disapointed that you dont fish, spoilt the image.
I think this calls for a song take it away Mike….

Gone fishing ,De Doodly Doodily Dy,
Gone fishing see you in the layby,
Gone fishing ,De Doodily Doodily Dy,
That one ok Chico?
Love it Chic.
rumour all over glasgow bdo have lost their leave to appeal case if so the stolen trophies must be stripped i wonder if thats why milne and the other roasters are spinnning the bullshit
I think the reality of it all is that rangers will be back so wil hibs whether we like it or not i think its natural to hate rangers consudering their horrible bile and bigotry
If its blasphemy on here to state the obvious then i dont know who is deluded me or the vast majority of celtic fans according to basqueceltic
” Rangers “? ” Back “?
They dead cannot come back!
If so my dad is due me around £3,000 for his fucking funeral, following his death in 1990!
Steady on old bhoy…..I only said that the evidence(on here at least)shows that most of us on here at least don’t want anything from ibrokes in the top tier…….btw,they r dead they CANT come BACK.Slainte Ian.
rangers are dead but sevco wil be back in the league next year if the have to make it a 20 team league cheatng bastards dont change
i kind of have to agree. much as i hate the scum, beating them was the best feeling. if someone else would step up and challenge us, that would be great but i cant see it happening.
we need competition so we are not going blindfolded into europe.
Fk them all,we should pull out of this corrupt cesspit and ply our trade down in the republic of ireland at least we would be welcomed to play on a level playing field..
It would appear rumour,gossip and conjecture has more interest than facts.
What will be will be and all the posts in the world will not alter it one fucking iota.
Another fact for you.
i said all over glasgow but really meant the pubs i was drinking in today ha ha sometimes rumour cojecture and gossip turn out to be facts charlie if its true do you think the cheats will be stripped
I have no idea Charlie I tend to let these things pan out before I give them much thought.
ime just wondering why milne would come out with this shit now i wonder if he is not a mason like justce smith ha ha
Chocolate Alert!
If there are any Hun Zombie lurkers out there looking in, GIRFUY!!!
54 and…. 53…52…51…..50
Stewart Milne can go and get fucked, I’m sure the Aberdeen fans will have something to bleat about that!
Milne should concentrate on a new hairpiece!
Did I mention it was my Birthday today? 🙂
Happy Birthday Monti…ya greetin’ faced bassa…:0)…
Charlie Saiz told me he bought you something with a Pin…?
I said…”Hat?”…”Tie”…? “New Credit Card ?”
He said :
“Naw….Fuckin’ Grenade.”
Have a good one Monti.
PS: Ye hiv tae laugh Charlie….:))..
I did very good Mike 😉
Happy 7th Birthday Monti
https://youtu.be/rYgPb8tpyI0
Thanks Charlie, I would still dip that!
🙂
To take a phrase out of Monti’s book PMSL . Many Happy Returns Monti !!! Just stay with us long enough to see Ronny take us into the CL Groups Monti . ☘☘☘
44 Dan, WTF?
HaHaHa! You will definitely see Ronnie get us into The CL groups then .☘☘☘
🙂
Happy birthday Monti,just in from work……what’s goin on?
Thanks Basque,
What’s going on?
I’m not saying it 🙂
Happy Birthday Monti! I haven’t had much time to read EVERYTHING yet, but don’t forget Stewart Milne was practically bankrupted by his wife and has been trying to build a new 30,000 seater stadium in the outskirts of Aberdeen for a decade. So he can turn Dung-Heap into flats for oil workers. I would imagine that the corruption in Aberdeen City Council (run by Masons) could have him over a barrel because they won’t give him planning permission for his next enterprise unless he helps out their favorite new club.
Who isn’t nearly fucking bankrupted by their wife? 🙂
Thanks for the Birthday wishes Tims, HH!
monti i was talking to a she zombie last tuesday and being the kind hearted fenian i am iput her right their grandwains will be celtic fans
A sheep over a barrell getin Tagered by a Goat, I like the way you think.
ime a wee bit drunk noo so i will keep this short and sweet i have a few quids worth of shares in the great glasgow celtic and dont gie a fuck if the price goes up or down but if we start talking about debt forgivness like fucking zombies ime out
They will be back at the same stadium wearing the same colours singing the same hateful tunes. Doesnt matter if its sevco teddy bears or bumdfuck egypt united …..uless they finish second and get motherwell again.
always look o the bright side of life monti even though some ae the stuff you say i thnk is bullshit mate buthappy bifday anyway just wan thing aint it grand to be a tim
Happy birthday monti
ian the filth are finished they cheated oor grandas they cheated our das and they cheated us us but we will not allow them to cheat no more god bless auldheid and the bhoys
like ronny says it is all about development and it takes time so gei the man time ffs in my opiion ronny will get us where we want to be and the naysayers on here will be happy to see it unless of course they are inclined to zombieissm
Or are educated enough in their football to know when something is seriously wrong!
3 real celtic bhoys and the wain is showing us how to put computer stuff on the big telly my fuck aint life grand ha ha ha
and dont worry about his schooling cause tims adapt ha ha ha ha
Charlie Saiz published facts about scoring that tell us that playing with one Striker has had no effect on how many goals we score – we still score the same as using two or three strikers. There is no possible argument there expect that playing one striker has resulted in scoring as many goals as playing more than one striker. So that is one myth that is gone
There is plenty of argument there!
Its scoring against malmo molde eyc that was the problem not partick thistle broxi having one midget up front against a bunch of vikings didnt work
Think those stats dont apply to euro fixtures broxi otherwise we would be loonikg forward to a last 16 glamour tie after a splendid group campaign
iancelt,
The Euro stats are conveniently put aside, doesn’t fit in with the vibe!
Yeah we scored more goals in europe than against us with a midget up front against viking defenders
The bottom line mate is this, Celtic as a TEAM weren’t up to it this year, it isn’t just defensively inept, or over independent on Griffiths, the midfield passing was woeful at times, a lot of times.
As a team effort, very poor for a Celtic side!
The debate has been as to whether we should deploy 2 strikers up front in Scotland on the Domestic front not whether we should play 1 or 2 strikers in Europe.
Hence why the stats reflect this.
Monti rightly states that our problems have lay with the defence and inept performances in Europe.
That has not been down to the System that has been down to inability of those asked to perform as we know they can having not done so.
I wrote a piece for the Diary covering the aspect of defence but unfortunately due to Ralph being busy elsewhere it never got put up.
I think t he coach overestimated the swuads ability to adapt to s new system. Bilton arguably our best player was sometimes looking for a age for a lead. None was offering resulting in a lot of sideways passing. Givimg the opposition ample time to regroup and nullify any threats and when in posssession the opposition found space to score because the shape of the team wasnt right . This is my “you are the boss” moment. In saying this there were periods of dominance especially in the malmo but in the final analysis i agree with monti the team wasnt up to it
I think malmo was a good draw for anyone and celtic and even better one.
