SPFL ditches EBT probe
The Scottish Professional Football League has scrapped plans for an independent review into the handling of the Rangers tax case.
The SPFL board said it was “disappointed” but made the decision yesterday after the Scottish Football Association rejected its call for the authorities to co-operate on a review into how they dealt with the case and other tax issues involving Scottish clubs. Chairman Murdoch Maclennan said: “The SPFL
Celtic and that is what I am paid to do.”
Rodgers hopes to extend Celtic’s unbeaten domestic run under his guidance to 57 matches when they face Rangers at Ibrox tomorrow in the first Old Firm game of the season. He confirmed defender Jozo Simunovic and striker Moussa Dembele are fit and available for selection.
“Jozo’s fine, he had a good hard training session this morning,” said Rodgers. “He’s all good and ready for Saturday. Moussa’s ready too. He’s in a good place now, having worked hard over the course of the week. He had a lighter session today and will train with the squad again tomorrow and will be available.”
