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.

Apart from Rugby where there is a tradition of teams applauding each other after games, it is extremely rare for a team to applaud another off the field in the immediate aftermath of a game. I’ve seen it happen but its not the norm. Re applauding St. Mirren on next Sunday, I’ve no strong views on it but it just might rub up the Sevcovians who were predicting Armageddon. If it does I’d go along with it for just that alone.
It’s good to read a relevant, pertinent and fun post today, thanks.
It seems like an age since I could consider this blog the same as I do Celtic matches; an afternoon out, away from work and family concerns, to sing, laugh and enjoy being a Celt.
Also, please consider a resolute belief that Scottish football’s famous 5-Way Agreement only has four signatories. I bet the last Cypriot pound note in my tattered wallet that Chico Verde notarised for both versions of Glasgow’s ongoing embarassment.

Sevco can only sign players from 1/9/13 who are out of contract. First opportunity to buy a player is 1/1/14
Think we’re planning on meeting at greggs in the square. .. mwd is buying breakfast for everyone who answers his call to arms lmao

starry plough @17:18 calling me a window licker encapsulates all the backward prejudice I’ve come to expect from you.
Paul67 et al
It is called gratuitous alienation.
Which, unless Alisdair Maclean corrects me, means to alienate gratuitously.
saltires,
I was always useless at cryptic crosswords, murder mysteries guessing.
You’ve got this semi-aspergers, obsessive old mannie wondering what you’re on about!

One sniff of a free breakfast and your names on the list. . Attabhoy … ;)

Jon Daly says he would sign for Sevco……
Celtic Mac @17:29 – Gratuitous alienation? At what esteemed institute did you learn your psycho-babble? Were you lying down at the time?
Ntassoolla
That’ll be my Donegal roots then won’t Nutsy, lucky you weren’t tarred with that brush then..
The only backward prejudice you’ve ever received from me was a straight question to something you posted which you refused to answer and apart from that we have never spoken until now so as we say don’t talk pash!!

………………………………………………………………………
Gratuitous alienation – is a ….noun? with an adjective.
to alienate gratuitously is the infinitive case of the verb – or an
Unlike to gratuitously alienate – which would be a split infinitive – which is undesirable
But then, before going further, I would need to look up gratuitous in the dictionary and also wonder how many different ways or different adjectives could be used to describe alienation…………
…..cuts to scene with Alasdair stumbling into the darkness talking to himself about schooling, grammar, how he wasn’t taught properly either,…..fade….., gone.

Thank you.
At one of the early Open Meetings a few years ago, on hearing feedback from a meeting with Celtic I muttered to another Cqner by my side ” time Celtic grew a set”.
The thing is that from that meeting a resolution emerged that Celtic were happy to pass on to the SFA and I like to think that knowing what was being asked had the support of the support (or at least those at the OMs) Celtic were encouraged to act where they were more timid before. There is a lesson in that as in another story behind the delay of that resolution reaching Celtic that illustrated to me anyway the problem of making united action happen that can wait for another day. (It involves a go between, a big tin can in a field, a bad internet connection and two parties trying to be true to their individual agendas).
I also think that there must be beliefs Celtic hold about what will happen if they do grow a set and tackle the establishment of which we are unaware and if the support knew them, they might be more prepared to say “ok keep your powder dry” or ” f em get tore in” if the consequences of such an approach were fully understood by all.
Thus the creation of united approach mechansim rather than failing because of a lack of courage at Celtic might have the very testosterone effect we supporters have been seeking.
There are risks in every endeavour but the more those risks are understood and steps taken to minimise them, the more likliehood they will be overcome successfully.

Silver city 1888 – the ASA is nothing to do with the establishment. Its funded by the advertising industry via a levy on all advertising costs which is collected by an independent middle man. Its totally non-governmental
Starry you and Celtic Mac question my mental faculties. An avoidance tactic.
Invoking an image of those with learning difficulties in order to do so is no longer acceptable. Quite rightly so.
If 2 such adults approach your table in a pub, what do you do?
Lighten up.
Can someone post a link to the Rangers creditor who phoned Clyde?

Celtic First
The irony of that call is that it was prompted in the first place by BFDJs na na na na na na 140 years mantra earlier in the week.
The caller was measured, cool and persuasive beyond measure to all who listened.
The caller exploded the msm myth that Rangers did nothing wrong and The Rangers are the same club as Rangers.
A myth busting exocet with a twin warhead.

Evening bhoys from a warm hun free mountain.
Oh Dear, I hope nobody is getting their hopes up re the ASA, they have no teeth.
Makes for a day of discussion I suppose.

There ye go again, I have never questioned your mental faculties, you seem to suffer from constant stream of pash syndrome from what I’ve seen, throw in a wee bit of grenade chucking and there ye have it in a nutshell.
That’s me being light..
