While the SFA duck and dive to avoid stating the obvious FIFA have confirmed that the 140 year old time line of Rangers died in the summer.
The nightmare scenario that Stewart Regan hoped he’d never face came to fruition on June 14 when despite a nod in the direction of Charles Green HMRC rejected the offer on a CVA plunging Rangers from administration into liquidation.
While Duff & Phelps quickly sold on Murray Park and Ibrox for a knockdown £5.5m to the man with big ‘ands from Yorkshire the business of liquidation began with BDO tasked with the job of unravelling the paperwork that killed off the football club from Govan.
Having buried their heads in the sand for months while licensing a club whose last audited accounts had been published in June 2010 panic set in at the SFA as they attempted everything in their power to disguise the reality in a bid to keep the sponsorship gravy train flowing.
Every year FIFA deal with the death of football clubs with Unirea Urziceni going out of business just two years after becoming Romanian champions and competing in the Champions League.
On the FIFA website today, under the title of 12 moments that shaped 2012, FIFA duly recorded the death of Rangers whilst acknowledging the success of the newco in the fourth tier of Scottish football.
Under the headline of Rangers go under Fifa state: “Rangers’ perilous financial position had been an open secret but there was still shock when, after 140 years of history and a world record 54 league titles, the club was consigned to liquidation in mid-June.
“The Glasgow giants were subsequently reformed as a new company and granted entry to the Third Division, Scotland’s fourth tier, which they currently lead by nine points with a game in hand.”
The new company will only be eligible to take part in European football once they have produced three years of audited accounts.

Night night silly sevconians
what do fifa know?
they are all feniany are they not?
this is clearly biggotry!
i’ve got big ands and i own hibrox!
or some deluded pish similar to the above!!
back in the real world you are dead huns, GIRFUY!!!
Maybe the SFA will tell Chuckles to shut his fat Yorkshire trap now! Maybe BDO will put an end to his attempts to profit from the goodwill of a deid company, and sort their similar “name!”, Maybe they will write a new songbook!, Maybe the Sevconians will realise they have been “duped” again! 54 and counting backwards, never forward. Time to get a heid “stain” on the corpse.
Very ambiguous use of the word “company” will play into the zombies hands. Until UEFA state the club is gone and a new one started this will run on and on.
Too true Ben, but the quote, “After 140 years of history and a world record 54 league titles, the CLUB was consigned to LIQUIDATION in mid-June”, is undeniable proof(if any were needed) of the demise of all that they cherish. They have gone the way of the dinosaur, and only some old bones remain.
I heard bbc radio Scotland trying hard to do a documentary Thursday night on the ‘rangers turmoil’ this year. They bent over backwards to avoid saying that they were dead and even Richard Gordon entered into the delusion zone by stating that rangers had been ‘dropped’ into the Third Division! A mixture of vox-pops by failed ”journalists” with Jabba having the audacity to state that he . . . left the Daily Record because he had become dismayed by the lack of journalist standards!!! What a fat joke this man is.
A pretty useless wee documentary to try and muddy the water’s about dead Rangers f.c. Didn’t succeed IMHO.
Come on Charlie. What have you got to say about this?
Sevco zombie will read the above with their fingers in their ears going “la la la la la” in a vain attempt to block out the power of the written word!
And, they will still point to the world authority that is the SFL website(!) as if to say that all is well and good.
Thick Phuds.
They are dead & gone,looking forward to title stripping day
As one guy said
You can’t handle the truth
Burn in hell RFC 1872
can i volunteer to shut the curtain at the crematorioum as they go to hell
Incredibly, they are still in denial!
On a thread in rangersmedia.com they still say that there is nothing in the FIFA website that changes anything. Strangely though, the thread has been locked so that no Sevconians can discuss the issue.
They just can’t handle the truth. They have known it for a while but just can’t bring themselves to admit it.
If u go to uefa.com
On the main page u have an alphabet
If u press on the letter C it shows that Celtic have 2 recognised team. A mens & women’s
Click on the letter R And u have only 1 rancers team. A women’s
Unless the newco plays their games in skirts then they died and let that be an end off it
Unless of course uefa don’t know anything about club football
Listen Bhoys
they will be in denial till hell freezes over and will be backed up by the scottish media and the scottish football arthorities in their quest to carry on as a new club/company as if nothing happened,
its the cream bun way
truth, decency, fairness and knowing what is right and wrong has never played a big part in the cream bun mentality, so why should anyone be surprised.
The new club/company is now in place by the SFA changing the rulebook to let them in without 3 years audited accounts, thankfully uefa will not.
says it all.
Hail Hail
Well done for stating the obvious joe – but its the same english incompetents that are running scotland, but your so keen to cling on to harmonious union when you preach your labour party crap 🙂
I thought Charles Green saved Rangers?

Celtic need to bank cash like never before, Sevco, if they make it, and with the SFA bending all over the place for them they will, they could be the only team with no debt in the UK, or they could die again? ….they’re like fechin Daleks!
Sectarian singing at Hampden today, famine song & billy boys being sung by scotlands shame, after the media lambasting the Celtic support after dens park I expect the same to be applied to the zombies!!
