DAVE KING has claimed Celtic are looking to use lawyers to achieve what they couldn’t do on the park in the aftermath of the Supreme Court EBT case.

The Parkhead board released a statement on Wednesday reaffirming their ‘surprise’ at the outcome of an SPL Commission into the use of the controversial tax scheme during Sir David Murray’s Ibrox reign four years ago.

Celtic also called for a review of the Lord Nimmo Smith findings but King has expressed his disappointment at the intervention of Rangers’ Old Firm rivals.

He said: “The Celtic board issued a statement agitating for a re-opening and reversal of the decisions previously made when, in fact, nothing has changed.

“It is disappointing that they have attempted to influence the footballing authorities to alter its historic football honours by calling on administrators and lawyers to achieve off the pitch what its teams failed to do on the pitch.”
