Companies House published the long overdue Annual Return for The Rangers Football Club Ltd (previously Sevco Scotland Ltd) today. Although only received by Companies House yesterday (12 Sep 13) it was dated 29th May 2013, however, the submission was incomplete.
A company is required to detail all their shareholders since their previous Annual Return (or as in this instance, since formation). Companies House say the Annual Return must detail “the name of every shareholder (or joint-shareholders) who has ceased to be a shareholder since the made-up date of the previous annual return (or in the case of a first return, since the incorporation of the company)”.
The only shareholder detailed on this Annual Return is Rangers International Football Club PLC (RIFC PLC). RIFC PLC was not formed until 16 November 2012, nearly four months after Sevco Scotland Ltd was formed, so could not have been a founding shareholder.
And there’s more…….
The Rangers Football Club Ltd issued a Statement of Capital to Companies House, dated 31 October 2012, showing the same number of shares in issue as this Annual Return (33,415,200), some two weeks before Rangers International was formed. The Statement of Capital was submitted by Caroline Nicholls of Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP, who should be in a position to assist the directors.
I’d never really given any consideration to who owned Sevco Scotland Ltd prior to the shares being consumed by Rangers International, but this omission is curious. The story will move on now with auditors Deloittes taking centre stage. They have plenty on their plate prior to signing off the PLC’s accounts so may be happy to turn a blind eye to the reporting requirements of a subsidiary company. Companies House already have an active issue over submissions for Sevco 5088 Ltd, it remains to be seen whether this one passes below the radar.
This is all so unnecessary as I am sure the correct information would be perfectly appropriate and in good order.
Can you imagine what we would be doing if our ‘club’ was being run in this manner? This story is being played out while all those who should be asking questions are being distracted by a player betting against his own club!
In the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter if Ian Black hedges against himself, or what embarrassingly light punishment he receives. The real story is so much bigger, it is being written in large type, visible from the moon landings, but the football authorities appear happy to stand back and let events take their course.
No looks of surprise next time around – from anyone.

I hadn’t heard that song before.
Talking about first games… My dad only ever took me and my brother to one game as he wasn’t into going to the games.It was the drybrough cup final.
My granda joe nurtured me into the celtic family way.
We would leave from caledonia rd. me, my brother and my granda. On the way way, he would meet up in various pubs with my uncles.
The carry-oots would be bought and me and my brother would be positioned at the front of the jungle and warned…don’t move from that spot.
It was only later I realised they were terrified from my ma that took so much care on our safety.
Why Do I Bother? @ 05:03,
Surely it’s simply historical. Why the Club was started, and the support from then on. The huns could probably have joined us this way if they hadn’t allowed themselves to be manipulated by Harland & Wolf etc. That’s a real tragedy. A lot of lives have been lost due to the British establishment using the huns to break up social revolution iin Glasgow (the 2nd city of the “empire” ) in the 20th Century.

Great Grannies think alike :))))
Top of the morning to you all from a still dark Fife.
I am up and about early as I am taking the opportunity, with fine weather forecast, of a long walk in the country.
Isn’t it great how one’s problems seem to be simplified as the body gets into its rhythm on a decent walk? By decent I mean four miles or more.
The dawning day is a great time to be out and about and to look forward to on my return I have a full fried breakfast, with fresh morning rolls, followed by a big mug of steaming Hot Java Lava.
Then sit down and watch the game on telly. I can hardly wait.

Howdy amigo :)
You now accept the Scottish football conspiracies, but deny the others….:)) Dangerous territory there !
I’d say this to you – re the moon landings for example….there are so many conspiracy theories out there on this issue, that the law of averages, like the law of gravitivity, means that at least one of them has to be right. So, in conclusion, there has to have been some kind of conspiracy. Even if they actually did land on the moon.
Get yer heid around that one :)))
sipsini,
Pub crawls and front of the jungle :))) Great, wasn’t it :))
Where’s Caledonia Rd btw?? Is that top of the High St by the college?
Big Nan @ 05:32
That’s actually a great post. It was like reading the letters of Pliny; you made the idea of healthy early morning walks seem massively attractive to this fat ole boozer, making oneself fit and ready for a bit of political arse kicking :))
Keep up the good work amigo, and enjoy your walk !
Doh! 3 (4?) posts in a row AGAIN.
#mustshutup
Morning big nan
hey that sounds a great idea,my dog is lying next to me snorring,not sure where my girlfriend is lol..think i’l get him up(the dog)and head to balloch park for a walk then back for a butchers fry up before getting the train into glasgow for the game..you’ve motivated me without trying ..oh and i’ve re posted the link on twitter..do it everytime i see it..maybe lns would be very diffferent if this was in play h.h
I see there has been some discussion about the existence or otherwise of aliens from another planet.
I agree with Kojo that there are so many trillions of solar systems in the universe, it would almost amount to breathtaking arrogance to assume that we are the only inhabited planet. Mathematics tell us otherwise. What I do not believe is that planet Earth is currently or has ever been visited or watched by beings from another part of the universe. Again, mathematics – and a touch of logic – tell us a different story.
The conditions which brought about the growth of organisms here on Earth came about against absolutely astronomical odds of many billions to one. But if you get a thousand people to toss a coin enough times, they will eventually throw a thousand heads at the same time. It might take several thousand billion years to happen, but happen it will.
What I am getting at here is that yes, the statistical chance of at least one other planet in the universe yielding life is very high, but the odds against that planet being within “talking distance” of us are also extremely high. By talking distance I mean near enough for travel between the planets, or at the very least, radio communication.
It’s a bit like searching a beach for the only two grains of sand which are coloured red, and finding them both within a couple of centimetres of each other. The closest Solar System to us is 4 light years away. We couldn’t even begin to contemplate a visit to or from even our nearest neighbours if there were any orbiting Alpha Centauri, never mind going beyond that sort of distance. It is very likely that the nearest inhabited planet to earth is thousands if not millions of light years distant. Reaching out to them is just unthinkable.
There is also the question of spacetime. Even if a planet out there does have life, the chances of that life’s term of existence overlapping with ours is also miniscule. There could be an earth-like planet out there, but life hasn’t evolved anywhere near our own. Or indeed, its life may have already died out a long time ago, just as ours will. It really depends on how young or old the planet is compared to ours, but the chances of both planets accommodating life at the same time in space history is also out of the question.
As I say, I do believe that there is a planet or planets in the universe that contain intelligent life, either in the past or the future, or less likely at the same time as us. What I do not believe, for the reasons I have explained, is that we are or have been visited by aliens or that there are aliens amongst us. It is so mathematically unlikely as to be an insane proposition, purely because of the distances alone.
There surely are other life-sustaining planets in the universe. Unfortunately, we will never know, far less get to meet them.
There are no flying saucers, no green men, no lizard people stalking our children.
It’s the stuff of science fiction and fantasy.
Let’s leave it that way.
El Shaarawy will miss the matches against Torino and Celtic due to a thigh injury – and possibly also the match against Napoli…@AC Milan News

to extend your point
surely there also must be or have been other universes
why should ours be the only one
is caledonia road not in the gorbals between shawfield and the brazen head?

I don’t want to sound too energetic but I do love a walk as long as it is on the flat and the weather is fine. I had a heart attack some years ago and hills beat me, and my lungs have had too many cigarettes and been exposed to too many industrial nasties.
My walk today is one of my favourites and is just over 7 miles, or two hours. After the first half hour my breathing gets easier. The pipes cleared I then enjoy the walk which takes me alongside of a river and a lade leading to a reservoir at the foot of the Ochils.
Any time of the year this is a picturesque walk but autumn is particularly good as the colours of the broad-leafed trees, the russets and ambers are a sight to see.
Then later there is the Emerald Green and the Maroon to look forward to.
GCT,
FFS :))
So aliens exist, but there’s no way a group of sinister white men in suits would ever discuss how to make more money for themselves?
Am getting the picture here: Happy Clappers believe in Aliens. :)))
Anyhoos, looking forward to some Celtic action over the next few days !
Faith in oor Lenny ! Really looking forward to today and Wednesday.

Greetings to you.
Reading between the lines ,you sound ” chipper.”
Glad to hear it and you.
FFM –
You now accept the Scottish football conspiracies, but deny the others….:)) Dangerous territory there !
I already explained that I don’t see Scottish Football issues as conspiracies. I thought I had made that clear. When does believing something is not right turn into a conspiracy?
I’d say this to you – re the moon landings for example….there are so many conspiracy theories out there on this issue, that the law of averages, like the law of gravitivity, means that at least one of them has to be right.
I am sorry but that is complete and utter nonsense, in so many ways. Are you seriously asserting that just because there are so many conspiracy theories surrounding an issue, that one of them MUST be true? Where are you getting this nonsense? Sorry to be so blunt but that is just risible.
I suggest you start by reading up on Occum’s Razor.
macjay –
Hello mate.
Yes, I got out yesterday and well on the road to recovery.
How are you?
FFM –
I didn’t say aliens exist.
Try reading my post again.

That is another well documented theory, but again, we will never know the answer.
GCT,
FFS, now your using my facetious humour against me!
Let me try and simplify the whole thing. Do you believe that there is no such thing as a conspiracy? Is it a “simple mind” that asks questions of those in power?

FFM –
My point was, the chances are high that there is at least one other planet out there with life, but we will never know because of the vast time and distance.
There, I just saved you a big headache :-)
PS GCT, where did you get the html for italics? Them pesky Martians again? :)))

Tom
Delighted to hear you`re progressing well.
My little theory of life is that when you`re chugging along ( no jokes please) and life`s a bit same old…….celebrate.
Because round the corner there`s a brick just waiting to say hello to your face.
How am I? My wife and kids are fine.Therefore so am I.
Just hanging out for Tynecastle tonight and hoping the brick stays in the wall meantime.
Kind regards to you and yours.

It’s a Masonic secret.
But just for you . . .
Start italics using less than sign i greater then sign.
End italics with less than sign /i greater than sign
GCT : 06:28
FFS amigo, I arrived at the conclusion when I was 12 !! :))
And it reflects my own point, that the chances are that the continued warfare on this planet is not actually down to territorial and/ or religion as we are told to believe, but due to other factors.
I might suggest for example, that certain countries make a lot of money out of warfare, by selling arms, construction work after the destruction, vote winning from a dim electorate etc etc.
Is that any more far-fetched than the possibility of alien-existence? And should it be dismissed as idiotic thinking?

It used to be known as the Permanent Arms Economy.
It still operates throughout the world.
But how do you jump from my dismissal of aliens to that in questioning my thinking?

Oops.
See what happened when I forgot to close my italics?

I think you really need to rethink your definition of what constitutes a conspiracy theory.
FFM –
Never been to Durham
Going for a walk. Need to stretch my legs.
Later.
GCT,
Am referring to your dismissal of “conspiracy theorists” (a pejorative term for folks who ask questions) as simple minds.
If none of us asked questions, things would be a lot worse than they are. Tis why the freedom to ask questions is being removed from us day by day, in every area of life. Now that’s a conspiracy !
If we replaced the population of Glasgow with it’s citizens of 100 years ago, there’d be trouble. Apathy didn’t exist back then. Our youngsters are being schooled in apathy and conditioned in disturbing ways.
If you think that’s just by chance, then you aren’t looking closely enough.
How much control do some people have?:

GCT @ 06:46,
I don’t think I do.
Let me clarify for you.
A conspiracy theory, is a belief/ idea in the existence of a certain conspiracy.
A conspiracy is the meeting of two or more minds to reach an objective.
To dismiss concerns about the exsitence of conspiracies as coming from “simple minds” is a worrying thing to say amigo.
There are more conspiracies in action today than this planet has ever seen in its recorded history. To deny that, is ignorance at best.
It’s important that some of us realise our opinions are just that. Opinions. You don’t know any more than I do whether Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon or not. If you trust the informers, then you form your opinion based on that.
Can you not see the point I’m making??
