There is now no longer something known as Rangers football club- the broadcast that Hugh Keevins would rather forget 

There are few figures in the media that have milked the O** F*** quite like Hugh Keevins. 

For 50 years he has dined off two football clubs in Glasgow, sharing his wisdom and insight in print and on the airwaves, mainly with Radio Clyde. 

Back in the summer of 2012 the then Daily Record reporter was confronted with his worst nightmare on two fronts 

  1. Those pesky internet bampots had called it right, Rangers were dead 
  1. With Rangers dead I best cash in and milk this for all it is worth 

On the morning of 12 June 2012 it was announced that Her Majesty had rejected a CVA, a move that Dave King mirrored. With the club dead, half of his income flushed away it was time to put in a call to TalkSPORT and share the dramatic news with his chums Andy Gray and Richard Keys. 

Andy Gray was born and raised in the city of Glasgow. Born and raised in a Rangers supporting family, he knows that this news today lands on everyone’s laps like a catastrophe if you are a Rangers supporter because 140 years of tradition died today, there is now no longer something known as Rangers football club. 

After the initial shock Keevins and Radio Clyde quickly and without any explanation bought into the Continuity Lie. 

The O** F*** remains the bedrock of his career, his words of 12 June 2012 are just as easily shrugged aside as the failure of a CVA followed by Walter Smith and Richard Gough going public in giving their best wishes to the Tribute Act.
