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.

Brogan Rogan Trevino and Hogan:
Haha. Never thought of that one. Like Jim Garrison tells his crew, when talking about Oswald, in Oliver Stone’s JFK, that the CIA built Oswald like a dummy corporation, and moved him around the board wherever they needed him.
Yeah, Green looks more and more like that.
Best of luck Tom.
QUICK BHOYS –
Despite the Official home page announcing the tickets as now being sold out I’ve just managed to buy (via Mobile Internet ) 2 X 3-Game Packages for the Back of section 443? Purchased at 12.05pm.
No Suggestion of a Nigerian bank Account and Indeed email Confirmation has Just come through….

Bhoy at my work just done the same.

Celtics marketing regarding tickets revolves around getting supporters to buy season tickets,whether you agree or not that’s a fact,if you want to guarantee CL tickets you buy a season ticket if not then you have no guarantee.
Its not a surprise since its been like that for ages.
First call on SSB tonight,its no fair so it is ah didnae get a ticket………….bla bla bla…..
Geeze peace.
Before every home tie we will have the same call each time and each time the individual will have a reason why he/she/they should get a ticket before other non season ticket holders.Last season there was a guy who claimed he would never go back due to not getting a ticket for Juve……….feck me!! I bet he’s missed.

GCT,
Good to hear from you ! You missed an important discussion on moon landings.
I suggest putting SDM and Moisty into a 1991 Ford Fiesta, fitting it with rockets (the other kind), and sending them up there to investigate. If SDM prefers to use a McGill’s bus and take some passengers with him, all the better, as long as he leaves the spivs behind to continue the good work :)

my wee body is knackered I just decide to beat whatever is thrown at me.
Do not watch when they take the catheter out

FFM –
I missed a discussion on the moon landings? What, 44 years after the event? Was it a low news day or what?
I can’t see the need for a season ticket holder to have a paper ticket at all. Surely our electronic ticketing system is smart enough to be programmed with the details of who has paid to attend non league matches? The swipe card could then be used as normal.
Is there a fear of failure and fans being locked ouit? Or of folk turning up and just claiming to have paid?

Great stuff! Really appreciate it! Thanks!
I will ask Paul to pass on my details as well.

BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP, couldn’t manage the Zadoc line.
saltires en sevilla, cheers.
PS – How do you contact Paul?
Just purchased online restricted view package,better than nothing! There may be some of these left.
Tom,
Great news that everything has went well. A really good sign for this upcoming week.
I’m really looking forward to seeing the Bhoys play tomorrow as there were some very good signs up at Tannadice, even with the amazing efforts the Bhoys put in that previous midweek.
Tomorrows game is a biggie.
GCT,
Took the MSM 44 years to publish the story in Scotland.
Some mention of succulent martian and fine wines :)

Excellent news. Stay positive Bud.

I suppose that probably is an issue and with thousands of others looking to get in, it only takes one chancer to hold things up for everyone else.

Tom McL, really pleased to hear your news.
When I was taken to the ward post-op, can you imagine my surprise on discovering that the guy in the next bed was Jack Irvine?
Turns out his guy was every bit as crazy as his namesake.
He was in his mid-twenties and had multiple bone fractures and a torn kidney after he fell from the Gold Coast casino mono-rail during a drunken prank. He landed on concrete 18 metres below and is obviously very lucky to be alive as his head was completely untouched.
On Wednesday night he had a couple of his mates visiting. Tracey suspected they were drinking alcohol disguised in soft drink plastic bottles. This was confirmed to me when a fight broke out.
I kid you not.
It started with Jack raising his voice and demanding his house keys. He then leapt from his bed and stuck the head on the guy. It was mayhem as security came running to clear it all up.
We listened to the aftermath and it was clear that Jack was posing as the victim.
Honestly the guy was/is a complete nutter.
He’ll be in there for a few weeks yet. I pity whoever has to share a ward with him.
Sydney Tim –
You may have a point about young Aussie blokes.
Tom, glad your home, best wishes and prayers for your speedy recovery.

How about…. ” These accounts are about as plausible, as Zadok the priest, being present at the first moon landings”

All the very best to you.
My old dad came home after two weeks in hospital, on Monday. He has a catheter as well. It is slowly filling up!
He is also on a drip as we speak – he is currently sitting on an armchair in the living room with the drip attached to a hook on the wall. He’s fast asleep.
Take care!
HH!!
Peaky Blinders last night – really enjoyed it and it looks like its going to be a good show
Very disappointed with Sam Neills Belfast accent – Brad Pitts was better for God’s sake
Onto episode 5 of breaking bad after listening to all of you on here………totally addicted now !!!!!!
Guys – if you’re still looking to buy the 3 match package get on the internet now. Single tickets with restricted view are still available, I bought mine at 12.37.
I was out at CP earlier picking up some stuff and the queue at the ticket office was down to London Road – I hope that the bhoys that stood in the rain for hours get their tickets.
Hail! Hail!

I can’t remember wether it was the Clifftonville or Elfsborg game we were playing but I was driving home listening to SSB, not exactly my proudest moment, but they had a guy on moaning that he had been standing in the queue for ages trying to get a ticket an he was no further forward. Had I be the quietest football queue I’ve heard, there was no noise in the background at all. The panelists were in total agreement with him even though they stuck in a studio. About 10 minutes later another guy phoned and praised the club stating the cup game scheme with the season book etc etc and as usual he was fobbed off except for Dalziel I think who agree with both calls. T*t.
So their desire to be the old club, is actually killing the new club?
