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.

Sometimes when there is no attempt whatsoever to comply, it doesn’t seem so bad.
People must’ve have a wee snigger when I pontificate, making the same basic errors at the same time.
Na, it’s more the consistent merging of two sentences into one that gets on ma teets – and I worry the writer isn’t aware!
It’s concern really.
put it this way is there not enough evidence to go to a court to prove that old co seriously
used methods to gain an unfair advantage and by doing so financially damaged celtic plc?
this in turn would establish the word cheat being written in to oldco’s history, and allow certain individuals to be chased for reparation? take it to european court if need be to get away from the homegrown masons.
Alasdair,
To get that legend printed on a t-shirt, either the writing will have to be minute, or, only available in XXXXXXXL size. (Apologies for various punctuation errors). : >)
Talking of t- shirts, how is it possible to be convicted of insulting Sevconians?
For the last 20+ years, they have been insulted, lied to, cheated and humiliated by M, W and G.
It is impossible to insult anyone so ignorant , especially those who queue up and pay for the priviledge.

danso_1888,
I do get what you say and what impresses me most that you still have the energy to try and resist this overwhelming tide of the media, the football authorities, the legal system and the business system to force the acceptance of one of the biggest frauds in football history.
alasdair maclean-A bugbear of mine is names on back of official jerseys with no capital letter at the start of a name.

Celtic established section 111 within the stadium I would suggest that’s an acknowledgment of existence.
If you ‘chose to ignore’ the GB why do you continually make reference to them?
Alasdair MacLean,
would like to reply but i am scared incase as bada bing says you may ignite.
Chuck Green is a regular on Keys & Gray on TalkSPORT.
Has he been on since Coventry went into administration? Keys is a big Coventry City fan. Maybe he will ask more probing questions about the company/club liquidation.
He probably won’t they because his head is so far up Andy Gray’s erse!

danso_1888,

I would be willing to help in any way possible ……….needs MOMENTUM
sheik yerbouti-Agree,i think because it will mainly be their own type they stiffed,there is no appetite to nail the lie.

Celtic will congratulate League Cup winners
By: Newsroom Staff on 28 Mar, 2013 15:46
CELTIC return to SPL action this Sunday when they travel to Paisley to take on St Mirren. And in recognition of St Mirren’s achievement in winning the Scottish Communities League Cup with a 3-2 victory over Hearts at Hampden on March 17, the Celtic players will form a guard of honour for their opponents before the game.
Danny Lennon’s side won the trophy for the first time in the club’s history, and it was St Mirren’s first silverware since they lifted the Scottish Cup back in 1987.
Celtic manager Neil Lennon told the official website: “Our congratulations go to St Mirren on their recent success at Hampden.
“It was a well-earned triumph, and while we would obviously rather have been in the final ourselves, I am nevertheless delighted for Danny, who is one of the good guys in football. His team always tries to play football in the right manner, and they deserved to win the League Cup.
“But Danny knows that, while we’re happy to applaud the St Mirren players before the game, we’ll be doing everything we can do win the match on Sunday and take a step closer to retaining our SPL trophy.”
Touché Turtle..

More likely that small creditors are just too scared to make waves. When you’ve got a supposedly responsible representative like Ally “tell us the names” McCoist leading the pitchfork and torch loyal, what can you expect?
Tim Malone-Exactly mate,the gang wins again.
theBHOYfromU.N.C.L.E,
i doubt if our leader’s will see that as possible avenue, its not quite cricket in the ole network, if some individuals can bring a case brilliant but i do seriously doubt it will happen now.
Sheik Yerbouti- Celtic FC are a creditor of oldco.
Shirley the hoops will be very highly motivated to win in paisley on sunday.
Applauding the sts onto the park. .. watching and hearing their fans celebrate a cup victory that our players know was down to our teams attitude in the cup semi.
Must be an easy team talk for neil

A sports team languishing in the fourth division of the national leagues may not sound like the best investment, but Gervais Williams, the fund manager at Miton Group told CNBC that one soccer club in Scotland is set for great things after a turbulent few years.
Glasgow Rangers FC fell from grace last summer as the club went into liquidation after being placed into administration and being docked ten points. The team lost to its arch rivals at the end of the season and was then placed into the bottom tier of the league following rejection from members of the Scottish Premier League.
Rangers may not be challenging for the same league title it has won 54 times previously. But a lack of debt, loyal fans, a new wave of young players and some astute clothing deals nevertheless mean this club is one of the best investments in soccer, according to Williams.
“Because of the precipitous fall a lot of the debts have gone away. The business has got 20 million [pounds] ($33 million) cash on the balance sheet. It owns its own ground which is worth about 70 million [pounds], the training ground worth another 10 million [pounds]. They’ve really got great revenue coming in from the season ticket sales which will happen over summer. So, the actual business is capitalized at only 45 million [pounds],” he told CNBC Thursday.
“What’s been remarkable is how loyal that fan base has remained and that’s going to really drive its valuation going forward.”
A successful IPO (initial purchase offering) on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange raised 22.2 million pounds in December 2012, the club said in its latest results. This will help to fund its growth strategy and brings the total raised share capital since incorporation to 35.2 million pounds, it said.

“There’s lots to go for in this business, I agree generally not a good place to make money in football clubs but this business, given it doesn’t have any debt, given it’s such a low cost outfit at the moment, it’s going to make plenty of profit,” Williams said.
Results posted at the start of March showed a loss of 7 million pounds for the last seven months of 2012, with revenue of 9.5 million pounds and operating expenses at 16.6 million pounds. A new retail arrangement with retailer Sports Direct has been announced, alongside kit deals with manufacturer Puma and sponsor Blackthorn Cider.
Henry Dixon, co-founder and fund manager at Matterley Asset Management feared that a player wage bill that is relatively low now may not be so if the club surges back into the top flight with the team currently sitting proudly top of the third division.
“Is that enough to sustain a club in the Scottish premier league, is it enough to win? That’s going to be the tug of war between, if you like, economics and emotion and the heart,” he told CNBC Thursday.
!!Bada Bing!!,
small creditor’s have watched and seen the scottish media and while they might want
to go to the courts i am sure their families do not.
danso-Agree,that ship has sailed i think.
