The inconsistencies of the Dave King story have again been highlighted by the emotional letter sent out pleading with supporters to buy season tickets.
Playing on the generation game and his fears that a generation of supporters may be lost to the Championship club Mr King recalled his own story claiming that his dad introduced him to Ibrox as a 6-year-old.
Unfortunately that tear jerking yarn is totally at odds with an emotional interview that the man described as a glib and shameless liar by a South African judge gave to the Daily Mail in March 2014.
Using a script similar to one used on the club website earlier this week King claimed: “I think one of the things all Rangers fans will understand about the club they’ve supported as what I’ve called before this generational hand down.
“I went to the club because my dad took me there when I was a six-year-old boy and he, in turn, went there because his dad took him as more or less a six-year-old boy.
“I felt we had kind of lost our way a little bit with this whole disconnect from the fans and what’s been going on with the club.
“So I really felt there was a nice theme to say to the fans ‘look, let’s just get back to that core value and make ourselves once again this generational club’.
However according to the Daily Mail interview PC King from Castlemillk was dead against his son watching Rangers.
King claimed: “My father wasn’t at all keen on me becoming a Rangers supporter. He was a Glasgow policeman and because of that he resented the whole football scene in Glasgow.
“He was actually very anti-football. When we were kids growing up he was very vocal on his dislike of the bigotry in football. The police in Glasgow at that time saw it as a basis for thuggery.
“He saw what it did from a crime and disorder point of view in Glasgow. And as a family we were taught to reject the whole bigotry aspect surrounding football.”
Despite being in charge of Sevco for over three months Mr King has still to invest a penny in the troubled club.
With just six weeks to go till the first round of the Petrofac Cup Sevco has no manager, no captain and less than a dozen first team players with early season ticket sales described as slow.
Mr King has claimed that his own son is a Liverpool fan.
