Former Celtic player and Sky Sports pundit Davie Provan has branded the Ibrox club’s spending in this window ‘criminal’ but believes another liquidation event at Ibrox would be welcomed if it managed to stop the ten.
The obsession with stopping Celtic breaking their own record has hit new heights in this January window. Provan spoke about the already £14million hole in the Govan club’s finances and mentions how they can’t be looking too clever if they’re picking up even HALF of Jermain Defoe’s wages.
Speaking in his SunSport column Provan said.
“For a club that went bust recently, Gers’ spending this season looks criminal.
“That £14million black hole in the accounts?
“You get the impression Gers would take another liquidation if it meant stopping the Hoops reaching the big ten.”
The former club playing out of Ibrox fell into administration and eventual liquidation after amassing an enormous amount of debt. Unpaid tax bills, illegal payment schemes and generally paying for players they could not afford – all to keep up with Celtic.
If you don’t learn from history you are doomed to repeat the same mistakes.
Celtic are currently top of the SPFL and have a game in hand against their Glasgow rivals.
