rangersxfc 265 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 By ROBERT McAULAY and KENNY McALPINEPublished: TodayRANGERS chiefs have launched a probe after two companies were set up with near identical names to the club.The mystery firms — Glasgow Rangers Football Club Limited and Glasgow Rangers Limited — were registered yesterday.Last night the Ibrox club denied they were behind the move. But an insider said: "Rangers are aware of this — they are looking into it."They want to know what this is all about. They are unaware what is behind it."The side's official title was The Rangers Football Club PLC before Craig Whyte bought the club earlier this year. It is now run by a company called The Rangers FC Group Ltd. The new companies were set up by someone using the name Gerard Moran, at an address in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.Anyone over 16 can register a firm with Companies House for as little as £15.Last night a spokesman said that if Rangers contacted them about the new business titles they would investigate. He said: "All the names that come to us we accept in good faith.The two companies were set up on October 25 and registered at the same address. The person who has done it can be forced to change the name."A spokeswoman for the Glasgow giants — currently embroiled in a £49million tax battle with HMRC — said: "We do not know anything about these names."Read more: http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/news/3894301/Ibrox-probe-mystery-Rangers-companies.html#ixzz1bq0Gyh6z Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markybear 136 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Is this (dare I say it) a clever way of filthy phil drawing us into another unwanted court case (fighting over our name/identity). His entire life seems to be ruled by our demise so £15 or £30 would be a small price to pay in order for him to achieve his end game Just a thought Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BawdeepLoyal 94 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I wonder if the Russian Gangsters that went after Phil will pursue poor Mr. Moran as well? I never realised they were such high profile international personalities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nachothelegend 1,932 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 The names are identical and Rangers can go through trademark law to erradicate them as they can be mistaken for our club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I wonder if the Russian Gangsters that went after Phil will pursue poor Mr. Moran as well? I never realised they were such high profile international personalities.The truth is regularly stranger than fiction.ITALIAN NEWSPAPERS reported Nov. 3 that Soviet spies in the KGB plotted to destabilize the Catholic church and kill Pope John Paul, as quoted in Czech documents sent to Italy's secret services. Newspapers quoted one document as saying: "There has been noted KGB activity to discredit the Catholic church and the figure of the pope with disinformation and provocation, not excluding physical elimination." A spokesman for a parliamentary commission that will study the documents said extracts quoted by the media sounded in line with the content of the files, but he could not comment on them.

MikeBlue 136 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I'm amazed you are actually allowed to register a company name like this when it quite clearly is not legit.Not really up to the authorities to decide what is a legit name. It's down to the genuine company to complain. As has been said, there was a fair amount of this in the early days of the interweb and there's no chance these days for a chancer to make anything with a scam like this.
