    While we've been away enjoying ourselves in another, sunnier, corner of FootballLand, the Rangers débacle continues inexorably. Six SPL clubs have come out publicly against Rangers' re-admittance, while the Crown Office have asked Strathclyde Police to begin investigating the financial shenanigans which have brought the blue bastion of bigotry low...

    And one more: Rapid Vienna are asking FIFA and UEFA to adjudicate in their dispute with Rangers over the £1m-odd they're still owed by RFC over the transfer of Nikica Jelavic from Everton to Rangers in mid-summer 2010...
    The Austrian club is still owed £1,011,763.44 from the £4 million sale of Croatia striker Nikica Jelavic in the summer of 2010 and have requested the assistance of Uefa and Fifa.

    Rapid have been informed that they would receive only a pittance when Rangers were plunged into liquidation following the rejection of prospective owner Green's CVA proposal by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs 12 days ago.

    However, the fact that Green's new Rangers will receive the full outstanding amount due to them from Everton following the £5.5 million sale of Jelavic in January has angered Rapid.

    "It seems unfair to us that we might not receive the money we are owed for the player when Rangers expect Everton to pay the fee they agreed for him," said Peter Klinglmuller, the club's head of communication.

    Ah yes, but given the frenzied efforts to revive the corpse, RFC 1872-2012 is well on the way to becoming Scotland's most illustrious spectral presence since Banquo's Ghost!

    A vision of Cleese and Palin discussing the morbidity of a parrot just crossed my mind!

    What is the status of Ibrox? Is HMRC going after this? Who owns it and "Murray Park"?
    Becuase it is a) Not clear whether Charles Green has actually paid anything yet? b) to whom he paid anything? and c) if Ibrox and other assets were capable of being sold by Duff and Phelps.

    Lots of questions still to be answered

    Fitting that "Rangers newco" beging their season at Peterhead, home to Scotlands most gruesome prison.

    Alex Thomson of Channel 4 look at the campaign of intimidation that has been mounted by Rangers supporters over the last year:
    As I’ve said before my interest in Rangers stems purely from the standpoint of it being a spectacular example of a corporate omnishambles: British mismanagement so profound and bewildering it veers between performance art and social car-crash. With the loyal Rangers fans left mugged in the middle
    It’s still happening.
    ...
    An element of the Rangers customer base remains out of order and neither Rangers, nor Scotland’s football authorities, nor the police appear willing or able to do much about it.

    I’m talking intimidation.

    Of the legal profession. Of football’s governing bodies. Of football club executives. Of publishing. Of bookshops. Of newspapers. Of TV stations.

    Tellingly, in Glasgow this will come as news to nobody. Which should tell anybody half awake how sick things are in this singular aspect of that great city.

    Outside Scotland people may legitimately wonder how or why this is tolerated? Or simply gawp in astonishment that such things go on almost daily this year.

    And it is arguably getting worse.
