I hear the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) have written to complainants confirming they are investigating adverts run by Rangers International Football Club plc, in which they claim to be Scotland’s most successful football club. You and I know that’s not the case, Celtic are Scotland’s most successful football club, followed at a distance by Aberdeen, Dundee United, Hearts, Hibs, Queens Park, Motherwell, Kilmarnock……. and ultimately East Fife.
The confusion has perhaps arisen following the demise of The Rangers Football Club plc, who laid claim to 54 Scottish titles before their failure to pay creditors ultimately led to liquidation. Rangers International Football Club plc have traded for less than a year and would be pushed to justify their claim in the face of Celtic’s magnificent domestic and European history. They cannot, of course, claim to be a now liquidated company.
The Advertising Standards Authority will write to both the advertiser and advert broadcaster asking them to submit evidence in support of their claim. The ASA will then send a recommendation to the ASA Council for adjudication.
In the event the advertiser accepts the complaint and agrees to change future advertising claims the ASA will write to complainers to confirm the matter has been resolved.
Celtic’s claim is simple, we are the champions of Scotland, winners of more leagues and cups than anyone else still kicking a ball in Britain, Northern Europe’s first European Champions and we observe all football, tax and civil laws.

I was talking to a Celtic supporting pal in holland earlier and we were talking about the hun creditor list and specifically the football debts, and more specifically the money owed to Celtic.
Were Celtic ever paid the £40K they were owed?
Thanks

Mark Hateley says losing your chief scout is like a new signing!

Losing Murray really is like a new signing says the Hateley one…

I think they offered us their first team as recompense but we politely declined :)

I’m off up to Glencoe for the weekend ,any bhoys up that way that could give me a weather report to put Mrs Fergus’s mind at rest .
She thinks we have to take the Huskies
Can’t see if anyone replied so try this one for nearby Ballachulish. usually very accurate. Enjoy Glencoe, looks to be a good one IF you are well wrapped up!

I saw that article this morning and laughed out loud at the last sentence. It was a plea from a known Sevconian supporting ‘journalist’.
Let me tell you, if that was a certainty to happen the newspaper in question would have had that article as its main sports headline.
Looks like things are starting to unravel over Govan way once again :)
Chelsea are giving a trial to the son of a legendary African hitman, who once wore blue at the Bridge. Timmy, 13, wanted to play in London for the same team as his father George Weah.
With a name like that – this bhoy could go far in the game!
Challs has the right idea in clearing the decks, its quite evident to everyone their club governance structure is incontinent.
Fergus played the blues- I drove down the A82 yesterday, roads and area around Ballahulish and Kinlochlven all totally clear, scenery even more stunning with all the snow on the mountains.

Hearts and Motherwell are a different kettle of fish.

Thoughts and prayers with one of our Stalwarts – one year on!
Lambert hails battling Petrov in his year-long fight against leukaemia
By John Curtis, Press Association
Paul Lambert has praised the fighting qualities of Aston Villa club captain Stiliyan Petrov in his year-long battle to overcome acute leukaemia.
It is exactly 12 months since the Bulgarian international became aware of the illness, before it was announced publicly two days later on March 30.
Petrov is currently in remission and Lambert has nothing but admiration for the way his former Celtic team-mate has tackled the challenge.
He said: ‘I am always in contact with Stiliyan. He is doing great and I don’t think anyone in this room can imagine what he has been going through, the way he has battled so strongly.
‘He is doing really well and hopefully it’s not too long before he comes out of that stage he’s at.
‘Stiliyan has been a big, big loss to us. He is doing great. I don’t think anyone can comprehend what he has been going through.
I can’t imagine what he has gone through at certain times.
‘The way he has come through, that has been unbelievable. Lesser people, no wonder they struggle through it.
‘He was a really close friend of mine at Celtic and I’m delighted he is getting there.’

Rangers manager Ally McCoist has confirmed striker Kevin Kyle has left the club by mutual consent.
The 31-year-old scored three goals in 13 appearances for the Ibrox club.
Kyle joined Rangers after suffering from injury problems and his last appearance for the Glasgow club came on December 15.

First Pip and now Neil.
The storm clouds are gathering of the land of Sevconia.
My big fear is that fat Sally may resign on a point of principle over his pal. Nah , he ain’t got any principles , cold sweat over!!!
Let the implosion begin.
Maybe wee chic could get the chief.scout joab, BFDJ physio?
Paul,
I’wasn’t around yesterday so just read your post.
Wow! Your finest hour Sir!
Somehow, I don’t think that was the apology thems were looking for!!!
PMSL!!!!
Plan – Lay the Ground Work Diversion
Reconstruction 12 – 12 – 18
SPL agree it.
FL discuss it
Agent Longmuir stirs the pot and convinces enough suspicious SFL clubs there is something wrong with 12 – 12 – 18 and more time is needed.
Not enough SFL clubs vote for the ‘SPL’ 12 – 12 – 18 plan
Plan A – The real Plan All Along
SPL vote to go ahead anyway but since SFL is not on Board just drop the 18 so it’s 12 and 12.
SPL invite other clubs to joint the now 24 and surprise, surprise they couldn’t NOT invite The Rangers International FC.
Outcome
Sky happy, chairmen happy, Greengo happy, Huns happy, MSM happy, Peter Lawell??
Fans….. shafted

Sad news that was my favourite role of his. Liked him in ‘the History Boys’ and he brought Uncle Vernon to life for the Harry Potter generation.
Oh dear. Looks like chuckles is taking money from sevco fans who signed up for cup game scheme – for the Linfield friendly.

Anyone else annoyed about the Linfield game being on the CCCS?
——————————————————————————–
I don’t go to friendlies as a rule and haven’t been to one in years, except for the Milan game.
I think it is very underhand by the club to organise a friendly and take payment from those on the CCCS at a couple of days notice and am surprised there hasn’t been another thread about this. Friendlies have never been included before and what would stop the club organising friendlies every other day and firing them on the CCCS just to make money.
I know it is only £13 but I don’t agree with the principle of it at all. Anyone else agree?
Chuclkes and Jabba are busy feeding the MSM the usual fantastic nonsense. The story about the ‘chief scout’ – who knew??, is deeply sinister for a number of reasons.
Good Friday is a good day to bury news, C&J are hoping for a low key, nothing to see here response.
Chuckles has always had the chisel out for Fatty Arbuckle. He might be an idiot, but he’s not that big an idiot! Watching the doughboy fail to qualify for every cup competition; throwing away a 15 point advantage in three weeks; buying players who would struggle in Junior Football; buying players who are more injury prone than Stan & Ollie; colluding with poor performance rather than confronting it.
That’s not the worst of it though! The biggest crime that Expanda-slacks has committed is his outright failure to cooperate with Jabba’s grand propaganda plans. To say that their is history there is an understatement.
Remember PLG complaining about how his then team doctor was giving out med certs for hangovers?
Mike and Bernie are undermining the Goofballl’s credibility – what’s left of it – because they can’t afford the payoff. Whatever happened to ‘Laudrup, International Football Ambassador’?
Who can the F-plan dropout appeal to when his friends and confidants are ‘scouting’ in Honduras?
Why wasn’t the chief scout given the job?
Is CW right to say that his plan was a good’un until Billy Bunter coal boxed it?
Follow the muuuuuuunnnnneeeey!!!!!!!!
