Ibrox anger at BBC over 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.
