Spare a thought for this man after his holiday was ruined

[RFC55 109,494]

By a headline in a newspaper 

Dear Mr Gatt,

As a holidaymaker from Scotland presently in Brisbane, and a casual reader of "The Australian", I was a little surprised to see that in yesterday's issue, in your piece headed " Injuries and Old Firm schedule play havoc with Socceroos' preparation" you use the term 'Old Firm' in reference to celtic FC and The Rangers Football Club Ltd.



Can it be that you really do not know that the term ceased to have any meaning or relevance on the death by Liquidation in 2012 of the original Rangers Football club of 1872 foundation? 



It was that venerable club that was regarded as being one cheek of the arse of which celtic were the other, in a century in which newspaper men were not mere PR hacks and partisan propagandists.



Rangers went into Liquidation in 2012. It consequently lost its entitlement to membership of the then Scottish Premier League (SPL), and, consequently, its entitlement to membership of the Scottish Football Association (SFA)



It simply ceased to exist as a recognised professional football club with a place in Scottish Football.



In the Administration phase, the Administrators declaring that they had failed to achieve a Company Voluntary Agreement and that Liquidation could not be avoided, sold some of the assets to a one-man company named SevcoScotland Ltd, incorporated on 29 May 2012.

(Some of the player assets of Rangers FC (in Administration) since their former employer had gone bust realised that their were free of their contracts and walked away to seek positions with still-living football clubs, much to the chagrin of the founder of SevcoScotland Ltd, who had expected that he would be treated as being simply the new owner of the existing club, rather than the founder of a new club altogether.



His expectations were dashed when his application as 'The Rangers Football Club Ltd ( the new name given to SevcoScotland ) to enter the SPL was rejected. 



His hopes were further disappointed when his new club was not admitted either to the First or Second divisions of the then Scottish Football League(SFL)



Eventually ( after being allowed to play one game as 'Team 12') and having sought the permission of the Administrators of the now dead 'Rangers' [who held the registrations of those players who had opted to sign for the new club-on new contracts with a new employer] , the brand new 'The Rangers Football Club Ltd' was admitted into the third division of the SFL.



Thus, the sporting history of today's 'Rangers' goes back no further than 2012. The 'Rangers' 1872 exists only in the limbo of Liquidation, and will be removed from Companies House register just as soon as the liquidators finally conclude their task.



The history and sporting achievements of the Liquidated club belong only to that liquidated club and cannot by any stretch of imagination be deemed to belong to a six-year-old football club!



There is , and cannot legally be, an 'Old Firm' other than in mere reference to the now dead club's association with celtic.

And I think it is quite wrong of you as a journalist to mislead your readers by implying that the old Rangers are somehow not in liquidation and defunct as football club.

They most definitely are dead, in the same way as every other football club in Scotland which has gone bust over the last 140 years or so is dead , and 'alive' only in the history books and memories of its supporters.

And now that you know the truth ,which you will be able to check for yourself quite easily, and do not belong to the Scottish Main Stream Media pack of dishonest 'journalists' who propagate the myth that The Rangers FC Ltd of 2012 foundation is one and the same as the Rangers of 1872 , you have a duty to refrain from any further direct or indirect propagation of a lie.

Please, therefore, discontinue using the 'Old Firm' tag. It is offensive to those of us who know the truth.

Yours sincerely, and with best wishes for Christmastide,

John Clarke"

"Old firm" is a cliche that has long since past, given their history, we should never want to be associated in any way shape or form with those that harbour the kind of people they do. The child abusing squatters that reside in the east end of Glasgow have zero association to Rangers, Scotland or Britain.

These cunts are all absolutely mental 😂😂😂

[loyalfollower 1,543]

Pretty sure the oldfirm friends line was used before companies were used as holders of football documents.

this obsession knows no bounds given that a football club is an entity which can be bought and sold.

[Malkytfp1 18,656]

They have a Facebook page haha. Related pages include celtic media, Malones Glasgow and McGinty's magic moments....i Shit you not.

As an impartial writer looking to protect the integrity of Scottish football, i have just requested they write an article about the ongoings at a certain football club and why it is censored so much, specifically using the phrase "dirty bastards".
