CELTIC has this afternoon released a statement after the Supreme Court deemed that Oldco Rangers were GUILTY of tax avoidance.

The verdict has brought an end to any sort of debate on what those EBT payments were for. Celtic reiterated their surprise from 2013 when LNS commission concluded there was no sporting advantage gained by offering players massive amounts of money to play for Rangers that they could NOT afford.

One specific EBT given to Stefan Klos put the player on a wage par at the time with some of football’s biggest name such as Ronaldinho and David Beckham.

Celtic’s statement today puts the onus well and truly on the SPFL to reopen their investigation and do what any right-minded person knows needs to be done.

When someone or club are found cheating in any sport and have won honours as a result of that cheating then they get stripped of their honours. It’s fairly simple.

Here is Celtic’s full statement.
