Today Peter Lawell says
"I must admit i am really happy with the outcome of today's meeting, this is a huge step forward for a massive club. We won't have to sell any of our best players which is always a bonus and we just wish they will stay here too. As for Rangers, their situation isn't the same as ours, and in a way it's great.

In other news Celtic and Rangers have both announced that Neil Lennon and Ally McCoist will remain the managers of the respective clubs for this season at least. Rangers have a final court hearing in Edinburgh next Friday and this will prove vital to the clubs future ...
