The SPFL have asked UEFA for Celtic title guidance as European qualifiers are set to be overhauled due to Coronavirus crisis

My guess is if the SPFL could have awarded them the title by now and called the season finished legally they would have done so by now.

The fact they’ve not points to Uefa/FIFA making the final decision on this. Uefa will have to make a blanket decision across Europe eventually.

Impossible to leave it to individual leagues as you’d have multiple outcomes across multiple leagues.
 
UEFA have, so far, refused to get involved in a member club that is guilty of raping hundreds of children. Why the %^*& should they get involved in this???
 
it’s really not, given one season will not count.

They have won 8 titles in a row, if they win the next title god forbid, then it’s 9.
It doesn't work like that. We could win the title this year, as could they. If the season doesn't end, no one will ever know who would have won it. Either team could claim the title, but no one would ever accept that as being a legitimate claim. Therefore season 19/20 is null and void and we start from zero again next season. It's quite clear.
 
I’m sick and tired of reading anything to do with that abomination of a club. Every day, without fail, they come out with something that chips away my enjoyment of the beautiful game. How can anyone support that club? Enjoyment of the game has been replaced with cynicism and a machiavellian attitude. There is no spirit of competitiveness, just a desire to rig the game in their favour.
Shameful.
 
I think Scotland should be awarded the UEFA Euro 2020 title.

After all, it's the honourable thing to do.
 
I seem to remember them holding up a banner saying something like "your deeds would shame all the devils in hell" after their behavior through all of this maybe we should ask to borrow it

it’s anything but clear to be honest, if the title is null and void, that obviously means no one has won it, it’s defunct and Celtic would still be on 8 titles, if they were to win the next one available, they would obviously claim they have won 9 titles in a row.

Lets not kid ourselves that we wouldn’t do the same in their position.

Then they obviously don't know the meaning of " In A Row"
 
They have over the last couple of decades managed to 'weedle' their way to people of influence within UEFA. Witness the paltry fines they have had over the last few years and the amount of times they have been done for disciplinary breaches. Any other club would have more severe penalties imposed by now but not them. We all know that the orcs have the SPFL by the short and curlies again by getting more of their people in places of influence. So it may come as no surprise if UEFA do have a look at this and decide in the orcs favour.
 
With all these hypothetical situations kicking about, as we are the best Scottish Club in Europe this season we should be awarded or Celtc conceding that we enter the CL.

They can claim whatever they like, but you can't argue with facts. You can't just scrub things from history you don't like.
 
They cancelled EURO 2020 because the continent is fućked.

There was no altruistic consideration in their decision making calculus.
Wasn't suggesting that there was anything altruistic in their decision making process and yes Euro 2020 was cancelled because the Continent is fecked.

It has, however, only been postponed (delayed by a year) and Uefa themselves intimated at the time of cancelling that the move would help all domestic competitions, currently on hold due to the COVID-19 emergency, to be completed.

Why do people post this?
It comes over so pompous and self righteous.
I happen to agree with your argument but I wish I didn’t.
 
UEFA won't want to take anything to do with deciding domestic titles, especially with Spain, Italy and elsewhere where the race is so close. This is all a smokescreen by the SPFL.
 
Keep seeing a comparison to SPFL and EPL.
Liverpool are 1/1000 and the Tims are 1/100 to win the league. There's a good reason for that.
Should Liverpool lose their game vs Man City they could still finish 19 points ahead on Man City
Should the filth lose both games vs us and we win our game in hand the filth could still finish a paltry FOUR points ahead of us with both teams winning all other games.
Man City vs Liverpool has a 3 point swing in a possible 25 point gap.
OF games have a 6 point swing in a possible 10 point gap.
To consider handing it to Liverpool is sensible I'd say but I think the Liverpool fans would have a bad taste in their mouth.
To hand it to timmy makes no sense but it would leave no bad taste with any tramp.
The media mania to hand them a title is something to behold.
If things did go that way, and they won the title with 4 points to spare, not one tramp media person would admit they were jumping the gun.
Just the opposite, I’d say.
More like they’d all be patting themselves on the back, congratulating each other in being Nostradamus level seers.
Then they’d be putting the boot into Rangers for having the temerity to want to play to a finish.
 
Because if the league isn’t concluded how do you realistically hand out the European places?

Has to be either last years standings or as the league finished. There is no other answer.
Or by the teams that have went furthest in Europe so far this season .

Exactly

Keep reading how UEFA are going to give in to Celtic.
There’s no chance they will hand Celtic the league if every other countries void.
Germans and Spanish want it to be voided so I’d go along with them than the Celtic lickspittles in this country.

Sorry, I wasn’t having a go, if there was any aggression in my list it was aimed at UEFA, they could spin a 1 iron.

No apology necessary and I certainly didn't consider your post aggressive.
My opinion is that UEFA are merely delaying a decision on National Leagues but when they can delay no longer they are unlikely to make a clear decision but, rather, give some form of guidance which they simply leave the individual Associations to decide on - anything else would mean UEFA taking ownership and responsibility (liability) and they are unlikely to do so.
As you say they could spin a 1 iron.

Why do we have highly paid executives at the SPFL ( and the SFA for that matter ) employed to make decisions on Scottish Football when their method of decision making is to call UEFA ? Might as well cut out the middleman and have UEFA run Scottish Football ( I'm sure UEFA Pete would be quite happy to fill that role ).
 
Interim payments now in process, with us them & Motherwell in one bracket & the rest in another lower bracket.

A small positive at least.

£395k & 157k.

100% correct.
Dont be surprised if the SPFL hide behind this and say it was a UEFA directive.

We have a highly paid executive at the SPFL who will freely tell you he has no power - he does what he is told by the clubs.

There's only one classless institution in Glasgow, and it's not Rangers.
 
Looks to me as if they want to hand the title to the dirty tricks , they'll put a proposal backed by the fat Japanese to enable this , then blame them once other clubs disagree
 
If this is true, it is obvious the SPFL intends to award them a title they didn’t win and are sounding out UEFA first to see if they might be in breach of any regulations should they do so.
If they do that, it needs to be consistent across the leagues

UEFA will give priority to England, Spain, etc over the scum
 
Seems an arbitrary cut-off point given how close Motherwell and Aberdeen are in the table. Not a lot for us but it will be welcomed else where.

Agree VB. Surprised the sheep weren’t in the top grouping.

These numbers will have VAT added albeit that’s then theoretically passed to the government.

I just noticed that the cash is actually already appearing in their bank accounts, so it’s actually happened/happening NOW.

Agree Gramps.
 
If the SPFL have asked this then I assume Stewart Robertson is part of that and as such there will be no underhand dealings and he is fully representing our interests
