<\/a><\/p>\nHowever, the idea of resting players before the Maribor return next week is basically sound, and because Deila doesn’t have any favourites in the way previous managers have, the door is open for someone to impress enough to get a start in midweek. ( note the cunning use of “midweek ” because I can’t remember if its Tuesday or Wednesday the game is on )<\/p>\n
Griffiths could come in and make it impossible to leave him out. Calum MacGregor has proved that if you’re good enough you will play.<\/p>\n
Deila seemed to back this up when he said;<\/p>\n
I’m into using my squad and I believe in my squad. That’s why I have it.<\/em><\/p>\n “So I think there will be some changes against Inverness. If you are with Celtic, you are a good player.<\/em><\/p>\n “It’s very important that the system that is going to carry the team through is not about just one or two players. We will see how far we have come in that way.<\/em><\/p>\n “We need some experience, of course, but also it’s important to have fresh legs.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0Rotation of players prevents them from entering a comfort zone, and keeps everyone on their toes. It also sharpens up performances if there is a genuine fear that they are continually playing for their places.<\/p>\n \u00a0So its with a little more excitement than usual that we look forward to todays game. Deila has given no clues as to who will play, but it looks like Virgil van Dijk will miss out. Its likely that Emilio Izaguerre will be rested, and we may even see Lukasz Zaluska get a game.<\/p>\n \u00a0Liam Henderson and Darnell Fisher might also be included, and it could also be a chance for Teemu Pukki to attempt to recapture his pre season form, which seems to have been forgotten by the manager.<\/p>\n \u00a0Inverness, now managed by former Celt John Hughes, have yet to concede a goal this season. They beat Motherwell at Fir Park 2-0, drew at home with Dundee before another 2-0 win, this time over Hamilton in Lanarkshire.<\/p>\n \u00a0Perhaps they just like Lanarkshire.<\/p>\n \u00a0Strangely enough, had Hamilton beaten the northeners, then they would be at the top of the table with a 100% record ! Armageddon indeed.<\/p>\n \u00a0Richie Foran will be missing for Inverness, which is a relief of sorts. He’s another in the Keith Lasley mode who seems to try harder against Celtic, but thats the beauty of the Scottish League.<\/p>\n \u00a0With only one dominant club, everyone wants to beat them.<\/p>\n \u00a0After last weeks thrilling performance against Dundee Utd, a game which I figured we’d do well to draw, I’m loathe to try to predict this one, but there seems to be a buzz about Celtic Park again, to paraphrase one of our legends of yesteryear, and I would not be surprised to see Celtic run out four or five goal winners.<\/p>\n \u00a0Celtic , of course , are the dominat club in Scotland, and supporters of their now defunct rivals Rangers, were given a timely reminder of their own current predicament, and how it came about , when one of their supporters e-mailed HMRC, demanding to know why the nations paymasters are hounding his club. HMRC sent this reply…<\/p>\n \u00a0” Listen, numbnuts, your club is dead, and we didn’t kill it, so go take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut. “<\/p>\n \u00a0Well, thats not the exact wording, but when you see it, you’ll see that that was the gist of it;<\/p>\n Originally Posted by Range-Rover View Post<\/span><\/em> If avoidance scheme users refuse to accept our position that their scheme does not work and take the case to litigation, we will continue to challenge them.

And a list of double glazing firms in the Nottingham area.<\/p>\n \u00a0With this bombshell about to hit the Ibrox legions, there was even worse news for them when it was revealed that their rookie manager Ally McCoist could be set to join another club…<\/p>\n Crystal Palace<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0have reportedly identified\u00a0Ally McCoist<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0as a potential replacement for recently departed managerTony Pulis<\/strong><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The Welshman\u00a0quit<\/a>\u00a0Selhurst Park last week amid speculation that he and chairman\u00a0Steve Parish<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0could not agree over transfers.<\/em><\/p>\n According to\u00a0The Independent, the club are now preparing to make an approach for the\u00a0Rangers<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0manager, who has guided the Glasgow side to back-to-back promotions in the Scottish League.<\/em><\/p>\n Former Celtic manager\u00a0Neil Lennon<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and Chelsea assistant\u00a0Dermot Drummy<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0have also been linked to the role.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0Could he be about to hit Second Rangers for a pay rise to stay ?<\/p>\n \u00a0Crystal Palace, of course, didn’t want Malky MacKay after his text messages revealed that he probably doesn’t see all men as the same. Thankfully for McCoist, there is no suggestion that he sees any race, religion or gender as anything less than his absolute equal.<\/p>\n \u00a0Back with the good guys, ( sorry to mention that lot on match day, but I figured its always good to mock those less fortunate than ourselves, ) and the ultimate good guy has finally found another club.<\/p>\n \u00a0After sitting in Starbucks in Birmingham, Georgios Samaras finally bumped into someone who offered him a job, and he joins West Bromwich Albion , and he has our best wishes.<\/p>\n \u00a0The wealth available in the EPL was evident as the big man was given two shirts, and didn’t have to pay for any of them. \u00a0There must be something about the club , though, as Samaras didn’t look overly delighted with his move, but he was certainly happier than Nicolas Anelka, when he signed for them.<\/p>\n \u00a0I ran over a cat once in West Bromwich, which is a horrible place, full of dual carriageways and semi detached houses packed closely together, for protection, presumably.<\/p>\n \u00a0Horrified, and worried it may belong to a little old lady or a small child , I got out and chapped a few doors and asked if anyone owned a cat.<\/p>\n \u00a0When a little old lady ( it had to be, didn’t it ) admitted that she owned a cat, and was always worried when it went out, i confessed to what by then was feeling like an act of murder in the first degree.<\/p>\n \u00a0“Well, what did it look like ? ” She asked.<\/p>\n \u00a0” Well, I’m not sure.Its all covered in blood and a bit, well, crumpled ” I replied, nervously.<\/p>\n \u00a0” No, ” she said, with a little sad smile ” What did it look like before you hit it ? “<\/p>\n \u00a0 \n Wakaso Mubarak tweeted his delight at joining Celtic soon. Thats if theres anything in this story. Theres that many names being bandied about its patently obvious that we will sign someone previously not mentioned again.<\/p>\n \u00a0No-ones mentioned Lionel Messi yet, so I’m still hopeful.<\/p>\n \u00a0Fifty six years ago today, this fresh faced youngster made his debut for Celtic. Anyone recognise him-in fact, was anyone at the game -a 2-0 win over Clyde ?<\/p>\n \n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Its League Leaders v Champions today in the northern city of Inverness as both sides battle to continue their great start to this seasons campaign.…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":5569,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/etims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/ICT-v-Celtic.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2J7If-1rO","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5568"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5568"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5568\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5570,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5568\/revisions\/5570"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5569"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
I wrote to David Cameron asking why there was to be yet a further appeal against a company that basically no longer exists, and why was there private information leaked to certain individuals amongst other things, and this was the bolox reply I got…..<\/span><\/em>
Dear Mr ******<\/span><\/em>
Thank you for your emails of 12 July 2014 and 7 August 2014 to the Prime Minister about the case of HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and Rangers Football Club. As this area falls within the responsibility of HMRC, I have been asked to reply to you.<\/span><\/em>
Whilst I cannot comment on the detail of the case, I hope the following information will be useful.<\/span><\/em>
As you know, the Upper Tribunal decided on 8 July 2014 in favour of the Murray Group, who formerly included Rangers Football Club, in a case involving the use of an Employee Benefit Trust (EBT). We had argued that the tax structure was being used as a way of avoiding Income Tax and National Insurance contributions by both the<\/em> employer and the employees.<\/em><\/span>
We are disappointed that the Upper Tribunal has upheld the majority decision of the First Tier Tribunal, and we have applied to the court to appeal the decision at the Court of Session.<\/span><\/em>
We are committed to tacking tax avoidance wherever we see it, investigating and closing down schemes that we believe do not work. Tax avoidance is about bending the tax rules to gain an advantage never intended by Parliament. Avoidance often involves contrived, artificial transactions that serve little or no purpose other than to reduce the amount of tax someone pays. Those who use avoidance schemes put additional burdens on the vast majority who pay the right amount of tax. We have been consistent in our approach to dealing with EBT schemes, and have not singled out Rangers.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
An important principle of the UK tax system is that Ministers do not get involved in decisions about individual taxpayers. How we resolve disputes with taxpayers is set out in the published code of governance for resolving tax disputes, which is available at:\u00a0<\/span>www.hmrc.gov.uk\/adr\/resolve-dispute.pdf<\/a>.<\/span><\/em>
The code refers to the published Litigation and Settlement Strategy, which goes into more detail about the basis on which we will resolve tax disputes, including where litigation is pursued to reach a resolution. You can find details at:<\/span><\/em>
www.hmrc.gov.uk\/practitioners\/lss-guidance-final.pdf<\/a>.<\/span><\/em>
I think it would also be helpful to clarify that the recent tax case is categorically not the reason why the club was put into liquidation. It is a matter of public record that Rangers was placed in administration by its principal shareholder and director because it was unable to pay its creditors, including HMRC. At the time of liquidation, published court papers showed that the undisputed tax that was owed by the company was approximately \u00c2\u00a321 million. This is an entirely separate issue from the amount in dispute due to the former owner of the club\u00c2\u2019s use of the EBT scheme.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
You mentioned concerns that confidential information was leaked about the case. These matters were investigated by the Police Service of Scotland in conjunction with HMRC and the Police Force West of Scotland. No evidence was found that there was any leak of information from HMRC.<\/span><\/em>
I hope you find this reply helpful. If you need to contact us again, please quote the reference number at the head of this email.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
