Loads of clubs try to "buy success" (as some people see it). So what?

Most try and earn it

We've had plenty success. If that doesn't suit you and you want to whinge about it, that's up to you.

I'm glad your happy...the present situ will seem so worthwhile

Bad times. You've had them too, so have many other clubs.

Grave times

If rfc are proven to have employed double contracts then they have cheated to gain success. Uefa may not be very happy with such events and could order the Scottish football governing bodies to remove all trophies won while playing players illegitimately. Not only Celtic would benefit, other Scottish clubs would also. Not to mention the possible consequences once European opponents who lost out decide to take action for loss of earnings during the period the said players were fielded.

The whole rangers issue will run for a very very long time and if the HMRC case and double contracts are proven then light blue touch paper and stand very very far back.

can you explain that.

Now its against the rules however why is it cheating.

If the players had 10 contracts each why would that be cheating?

Duke, I don't know. But "IF" there was a "mix up" in the paper work UEFA/FIFA might be of the opinion that they were illegally registered, or not registered at all.
There really could be a hornets' nest inside this can of worms.

if they were illegally registered for the club

then that would also mean every international game said players played in would be potentially void
Scotland Holland to name 2

Yes that's why I said it could be a hornets nest.
A lot of people could get stung.
