So the spin gets spun farther and farther today, with Will Ferrell the latest Hollywood superstar to be linked with the San Francisco 49ers supposed acquisition of the Ibrox club.
Here is the latest headline from the Record, it has to be read to be believed:
The Hollywood superstars set for R*****s takeover roles as Will Ferrell, Paris Hilton and Jordan Spieth swing into action
So Will Ferrell is SET for a R*****s takeover?
I’m assuming the Record spoke to him and confirmed this?
And that he actually told them he wants to be part of this supposed takeover?
Seriously, you couldn’t make this up.
If Will Ferrell somehow decided he wanted to become involved in a takeover like this, he would be in for the shock of his life when he attended his first Glasgow Derby.

To understand why, just read this excerpt from the from the online magazine, Irish America:
Ferrell is very proud of his Irish roots. In a previous interview with Irish Central to promote The Other Guys, he said, “I’ve been [to Ireland] six or seven times. The last trip I toured around with my brother and my Dad for two weeks and we ended with the James Joyce award.
Click the link to Irish America, and you’ll see Ferrell proudly wearing a green Irish rugby shirt.
This is something he does quite a lot.
So, for a guy who is very proud of his Irish roots, a trip to Ibrox on derby day could very well appall him once he hears a few of their wonderful ditties being sung.
Now, let’s be honest here, an awful lot of this is the Record getting over excited.
Ferrell and his Hollywood friends ain’t stupid.
If, and once again, this is a big IF, the Ibrox side are bought up by the San Francisco 49ers, I’m sure Ferrell would do his due diligence on the kind of football club he’s buying into.

Ferrell was also spotted wearing a pair of Celtic shorts with his Ireland Rugby jersey during one of his Irish visits.
For an American who is proud of his Irish roots, getting involved in the Ibrox side isn’t a wise idea.
Once the klanbase found out about his Irish connections, they’d be pretty quick to let him know.
Ferrell’s reaction, due to his lack of understanding about the rivalry, could be as hilarious as it is dangerous.
Either way, more moonbeams are being sold by the Record today.
It’s highly unlikely the Parks are going to play ball in this deal.
It has all the hallmarks of Honest Dave.
And Honest Dave is probably using his useful idiot in the Record, Keith Jackson, to peddle this fantasy.
It’s going to be interesting to see how this develops over the coming days.
It will either die a death, or it will happen.
I suspect it won’t be the latter.
Because things at Ibrox just aren’t that simple.
They never are.
Lots of 49ers supporters and investors yet to vent their thoughts!!!
We are all still awaiting an actual quote from someone in the know, Wee keef is leaving himself open for a huge fall as everything they stand for is all wrong, so let’s hope it all blows up in there faces
It has crossed my mind a few times that there must be large’tax ‘ advantages for foreign money investors parting with their dough into business ventures in the UK and in Scotland in particular…very nice , friendly , comfy , tax breaks , thank you very much ? Because why else would you shovel money into a bankrupt football clumpany whose previous entity was a liquidated ,cheating , non tax paying organisation known throughout the entire world for its sharp working practices,on an industrial scale ? Why would you get involved with that kind of reputation ? Why in the name of the small gentleman , would any person or business ‘ invest ‘ big money in 2 basket case , insolvent football clubs , especially when one in particular , loses millions of pounds each year through failure on the field and ineptitude and incompetence from it’s board(s) since it’s inception in 2012 ? But rest assured , Inaction and his fellow sport scoops at the daily Record will be asking pertinent and probing questions about the ‘ cleanliness ‘ of any possible foreign investment to the appropriate people , like the thorough scoops they are . No stone left unturned thingy ! Won’t they ? Maybe the football governing bodies in wee Scotland will do the same in tandem with the SMSM ? Now is the time for competent financial professional examiners to earn their fat salaries . Sales of ‘ fine tooth combs ‘ should do well .
More chance of Lana Wolfe than Paris Hilton
Isn’t it funny how many of the trash from Epsteins island are all over everything Rangers, go onto the Rangers sites and the stories are alk about Rangers Gi onto celtic sites and 90% of them are Yes all about Rangers, its amazing how much you lot talk about a thing you say doesn’t exist but ofcourse any mental health doctor will tell you someone who repeats the same bullshit doesn’t because they don’t actually believe it themselves Lol well then again some of you lot believe that the bhoys club was a separate entity from the main club And as you know that’s gonna be found out very sssssoon Just saying 😉
“Billy King” aye we see what you done there, you’re another of their support obsessed with Child Sexual Abuse which happened at a lot of clubs in Britain including your own club but your lot suddenly have selective amnesia when it comes to that issue. You and your ilk need their hard drives checked first as none of you can let this subject go, the Celtic Bhoys club sufferers will get their compensation the club’s made sure of that but you all seem to think it’s going to kill Celtic but again like this supposed takeover happening it’s another fantasy you pricks all dream in your heads. You all seem to think you’re still the same club despite Rangers 1872-2012 being liquidated in 2012 for cheating the rest of Scottish football so not one of your support can come on here to claim any moral highground, you’re a sad pathetic little human being who sinks to the depths of depravity to try and pointscore that tells everyone the type of guy you are. It hurts being in the shadow of the most successful club in Scottish and British football and you’ll be there for a long time to come you bellend of a guy.

Your old club were responsible for the horrendous deaths of its own fans along with the terrible injuries to hundreds more.
You followed a killer club.

Did you cry like a wee baby when your old club popped its clogs?
