Celtic F.C

Rangers have been sold. Halle-feckin-lujah!

"STV understands Craig Whyte’s bid to acquire Murray International Holdings’ majority shareholding in Rangers Football Club is at a “very advanced stage”.

It is understood a couple of outstanding issues remain between the two camps but negotiations are continuing. No deadline has been set for a deal to be completed.

Talks were held late into Monday night over the deal, which would see Whyte take over an 85 per cent shareholding in the club.

Whyte has demonstrated he has the necessary funds in place to conclude the deal, a source close to negotiations has confirmed to STV. His offer would see him buy the club at an asking price of £25 to £28 million.

If and when a deal is reached, a statement to the Stock Exchange is required. If the deal is concluded, Whyte will inherit 99,801,034 shares in Rangers, giving him an 85 per cent shareholding.

Whyte reached agreement with the Lloyds Banking Group last Wednesday over the repayment of the club’s £21 million bank debt. It is understood £17 million will be paid up front to Lloyds, with a £4 million loan on Ibrox’s Albion car park refinanced and paid back in instalments."

Im heading to kerrydale street for the news!

It's on hold. Again. Just a few things need to be ironed out.

I was hoping to find the FB updates screaming "YASSS" sadly the news took a u-turn so quickly that no-one was even able to update

Gloryhunters club. Just like Rangers, Man U and Liverpool. It must be **** to support a team like Celtic, when you have no connections with the local area, and simply support a club based on constant success, in a **** league, in a **** footballing country. I take much more pride and joy in supporting my local club, Airdrie United.

FTR, my team may be ****ing **** (they're still MY team), but look at the OF...getting in horsed in Europe off absolute diddies. Utrecht

Bigoted scum. Proud to support my local team. No doubt this will get some pathetic reply from a fickle gloryhunter.

Ritter - Proud supporter of Airdrie United Football Club. Diamond forever <>

AMEN

Christian bigot.

Cracking win for the Diamonds tonight.

AIR-DA-RAY! Oh, the joys of YOUR local team winning a match. Play-offs for the pride of Lanarkshire now.

My reputation on this thread leaves a lot to be desired..

but you sir, are overwhelmingly insignificant.

They should really be making a "****e of Scottish Football Thread" or a thread for their own team that they can talk to themselves in.

A thread for all forms of the Huns to talk would cut down on so many threads, it'd cover Gers, Airdrie et al.

You mean a thread for the darkest most sinister people to walk Scotland! For for the most hunniest of huns! Sounds horrible.

At least they'd all be locked away in the one location though... None running around AWOL.
