A Celtic Site Had The Exclusive On Yet Another Ibrox Share Issue Worth £1 Million.

Yesterday, The Sun played a familiar little trick.

It claimed an exclusive which actually wasn’t.

It pretended to have been first to the story about how the Ibrox club has filed documents with Companies House confirming their latest “share issue”, worth £1 million.

The documents don’t say if that’s more borrowing or if it’s the transfer of cash owed into shares; whatever it is, that company is well overdue a good look from the regulators. I used to joke that their share certificates were worth less than toilet paper. But did you see the price of toilet paper during the pandemic? And you can wipe your arse with it.

I don’t know what the value of an Ibrox share is now, but this is not good news for their club.

If they need a £1 million in funding to get through the next few months then all is definitely not rosy over there, and it should be with Champions League money and the sales of two players.

Can you even imagine how bad things must be if they need extra cash to keep the lights on?

What in God’s name is going on over there?

Why isn’t the media doing proper digging? If Joe McHugh of VideoCelts – for it was he, not The Sun who broke this story – hadn’t found this and reported it would we even have known about it for months?

For God’s sake, all of English football is talking about the situation at Manchester City and the only people looking again at events closer to home are us. The bloggers.

It sometimes seems like the integrity of our national sport is of only limited interest to the media which is supposed to cover it. They are painting this as “no big thing” when in fact it might be.

Once again, well done to Joe, one of the original Internet Bampots, who saw this first and posted about it yesterday. The Sun as usual was clutching to the coat-tails of Celtic social media.

It has been this way for about ten years now.
