Sevco have complained to the BBC about their manager being referred to as Fat Sally.
Last Saturday’s Off The Ball programme on Radio Scotland ran a light hearted debate on whether it was Super Ally or Fat Sally following the Ramsdens Cup defeat from Queen of the South with both presenters, Stuart Cosgrove and Tam Cowan, both voting for Super Ally.
The former Question of Sport captain seems to have been upset by that feature and also the opening titles used by BBC1 ahead of the live broadcast of the League Cup tie with Motherwell.
A club statement claimed: “It started with an animated montage which depicted a Rangers official, clearly manager Ally McCoist, falling from an office window at Ibrox and smashing a club crest.
“The incident follows a discussion on BBC Radio Scotland show Off The Ball on Saturday entitled ‘Super Ally or Fat Sally’, which questioned whether fans still backed McCoist.
“While the manager is known for his good sense of humour, he is both angry and disgusted by the BBC’s treatment both of him personally and of the club.
“As such, Rangers have made contact with the BBC this morning asking why they have chosen to act in such a manner and we await their response.”
Despite the complaint the BBC have been amongst the most supportive of the new regime at Ibrox with unstintingly positive spin applied to most news.
Charles Green’s statements have been repeated without any critical or questioning despite a series of broken promises.
Recently the BBC claimed that McCoist had taken a significant shareholding in Green’s Sevco company only for the Ibrox boss to reveal that he was only considering an investment.

Fat Sally gets my vote 🙂
fat (sleekit whispering coward ) sally .
I thought fat people were supposed to be jolly?
sevco have a cheek asking for any kind a apology
He’s just a fat William Shatner.
Don’t dare compare the two. William Shatner is the great hope for humanity and it truly legendary.
Zombies and their supporters are renowned for their joviality and great sense of humour- just because your dead doesn’t mean you dont like a good laugh.
yawn , on the flipside, I heard chick young conducting the most fawning sycophantic interview ever of fat sally after the murderwell game. I nearly threw up awful stuff.
fat sneaky little runt of a man.
Surely this will finally stop the BBC kissing their backsides and get them to start coming out and saying they are a new club, with no history etc.
Cass, surely you’re not referring to that sleek and athletic, jovial to the point of ecstatic sports and tv personality, Chick Young, are you ? Thought not 😉
Lol, zombie nation votes fat Sally
Zombie nation has the right titles for his tunes for one of the options

Zombies have very short memories. That’s a fact I bet.
I heard on the radio last night,
NO “young” manager has ever had to put up with such awful circumstances in his first year in the job.
What??? Has his life, or his family’s life been threatened? Has he had to live day to day with the fear of violence hanging over him? Has he been competing in a league his club MUST win against an opponent that is allowed to cheat?
Zombies may forget. ..We will not.
Oh, I prefer Fat Sally.
The BBC’s slant has always been very forgiving to the huns when on or off pitch circumstances are unfavourable.Under similar circumstances they invariably choose to have a swipe at Celtic. Cowan and Cosgrove are not everybody’s cup of tea but they are the only BBC employees I can think off who seem willing to ask pertinent questions of football people with regard to the whole hun corruption saga. Maybe they’re given a long leash ‘cos they’re thought of as comedians and not journos.
Incidentally, zombie nation is a dance music producer and dj. And he’s pretty good. Nothing to do with the sooside swindle society
As long as they don’t call him the EX-Manager of…..I’ll be more than happy
Maybe he should take off his money belt and get and EBT like everyone else at Piebox.
I wouldn’t give this too much attention, it’s just another way for Charles Green to keep his newly formed club in the public eye.
They’re best off ignored.
Isn’t their manager falling on their broken crest, and the question regarding Super or Fat Sally just a “wee bit of banter”? I mean look at what Neil Lennon has been subject to. Wasn’t some of that just a wee bit of banter?
And didn’t a cracked Celtic crest appear in the Daily Ranger at one point?
Surely the BBC were just engaging in a wee bit of banter?…..
Yup, make mine a FAT SALLY too.
ake it a double!
Is it a choice between ‘soup’ or ‘Ally’ then I’ll go for the soup.
If on the other hand by the word ‘Fat-Sally’ it’s meant a cretinous slime bag with no principles or dignity then yes it has to be ‘Fat Sally’.
A zombie manager for a zombie club.
Wouldn’t surprise me if someone at the BBC agreed to run with this crap “fat sally” joke for Greens PR mob. For a couple of quid Green keeps the zombies on red alert with their delusions of conspiracy. Emotional people are very easily manipulated. (Some are astonishingly more susceptible than others!)
I’m celtic through and through, but a think it was a bit naughty from the beeb. He actually seems a decent guy as does lenny so as a said a think it was a bit naughty. I think a we apology is in order.
Sean,away n boil yer heid.
