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.

Given the financial diffs around at present , more teams are going to go the way of RFC .
Those teams that go bust will be dealt with properly in terms of the insolvency legislation and also by the respective football assocs , media etc
When the liquidation of these teams are finalised we will be able to compare same with the liquidation of RFC
At that point the SFA , MSM etc will be shown for what they are …
Good lunchtime all.
Now we’ve all seen some ridiculous spin recently but what about this cracker today from “The Rangers” very own website –
“A side including seven players whose average age worked out at 20 featured against the Binos and it was booed off the park at the end of a goalless stalemate.”
So that’ll be selective averages now!
Whatever next….

Doesn’t seem that the GB are a recognised supporters group according to the links on the official club website

And btw my letter from the ASA has pride of place on the fridge door next to the wee mans karate certificate!!! Lol
This mysterious holding company that owned the old rankgurrs, does anyone know what it was called? Was it by any chance called “The hawdin cumpny thit went bust no us right!”.
Or did it go by another name.

Celtics kenyan midfielder … victor wanyama …. has an average age of 21
The recent LNS ruling nailed it, if nothing else. The club fine for breaking sporting rules was levied upon the oldco, not the newco. This is LNS making a sporting distinction between the two entities, and LNS ruled that the ‘club’ which existed pre-2012 was still vested in oldco.
The SPL and SFA agreed and approved these findings.

Well done – I won’t need to tell you to keep on the case, as they slither and slide…
Richard Wilson Herald
Unlike Rangers last year, there is not a significantly profitable business to be resurrected and fans groups will be the only interested parties.
Richard thousands of gullible Sevco fans fleeced in a share issue does not make it a profitable business, Sevco currently losing around a million a month
Mhark
I don’t care if its licenced or not
Jobo,
Celtic beat Barcelona with a team including one player who had an average age of 18…
Lee MaCooLick has an average age of 41.
The Rangers have an average age of 9 months
FACT!
A serious question. Celtic and the ex rangers had roughly the same crowds, roughly the same TV income, they had more Euro money and they didn’t pay their taxes. How did they go bust… Where did the money go? Was it just outrageous transfers?

I could be wrong but as it’s a static demonstration no request needs to be made to the authorities.
The most ‘successful’ club in the history of Scottish Football?!
Apart from the ones that Paul67 mentioned, the following clubs have won more trophies than ‘them’:
Dundee, Dunfermline, St Mirren, Raith Rovers, Falkirk, Q.O.S., Partick Thistle, Clyde, Ross County, ICT…
Apologies for any ommissions.

So does that mean that they don’t exist?
To be fair, Sevco are coached by a rookie manager whose average age is, eh, 51.

2 of their main men (green & traynor) stated pre-liquidation that if no CVA was agreed, liquidation would result in loss of history.
Now all we hear about is 54 titles and 140 year history from the media. No doubt they’ll be claiming 55 in a week or so, when it is only sevco’s first!

Shares that will be loss making (based on the IPO) around the end of next week by the looks of things.
I genuinely pity anybody that bought at the high point. They’ve been duped.
QoS Manager Alan Johnston on SSN ,on to talk about his team winning promotion last night…? 2 questions about Sevco and 2 questions on Sunderland.
The Boy Jinky –
precisely, so we could have…
Celtic’s average home attendance this season is 59,812….in games against Barcelona
Celtic have gone 4 years without conceding a goal at home…against Potuguese sides with ‘ben’ as part of their name
Jobo Baldie has never missesd a single game at Celtic Park apart from the times when he couldn’t manage along…
Ridiculous spin!
