Management at the Daily Record might be discovering an unexpected truth this morning. There is a market for honestly covering events at Ibrox.
Ten years ago today creditors, including Her Majesty and Dave King rejected the offer of a CVA pushing Rangers into the liquidation process. BDO are still on the case.
Initially the facts were reported, Walter Smith and Richard Gough went on record wishing the new club the best of luck before something strange kicked in.
Those front pages on June 14 and 15 were conveniently pushed aside as the Lie/Myth was launched with every media outlet in Scotland on board with Charles Green.
Apparently the businessman from Yorkshire bought the ‘istory of the club from the administrators, gifting the new club a clutch of honours dating back to the 19th century.
Other lies have been launched down the years, Andy Gray and Richard Keys hosted an on-pitch ceremony for the 140th anniversary with a bizarre campaign of ‘Going for 55’ accepted without any question despite Rangers resting in the football mortuary alongside Third Lanark, Gretna and Airdrie.
Last week the club’s PR team released details of how HM Government had held a dinner at the Scottish Office to celebrate the 150th anniversary.
Free-loaders Alex McLeish and Mikey Gove turned up with glowing accounts shared of the event which seemed to be aimed at London based firms targeted for commercial link ups.
Craig McCall, of the Political Desk at the Daily Record decided to send out a couple of enquires. In reply it was discovered that rather than HM Government hosting the event and sending out invites the whole affair had been bought and paid for by the club.
Since Aaron Ramsey relaunched The Banter Years in Seville it has been a rich summer with Watergate followed up by other events with the Fake 150th Anniversary dinner typical of a club trying too hard to cover their tracks.
Rangers held a 150th anniversary bash at Dover House in Whitehall last week. The event was hosted by Scottish Secretary Alister Jack but was organised and paid for by the Ibrox club. https://t.co/NVcgNEp8xH

They shared clips of Michael Gove on their Twitter implying that senior government ministers wanted to ‘honour’ them when in reality he’s turned up for a free swally paid for by Rangers? Most insecure club in world football ?

Whitehall? Is that not where the HMRC was Headquartered? Ironic they paid something to them for a party but not their taxes….

Times it by 15 and pretend liquidation never happened. Cloud cooko land must be a wonderful place to live in.

So when rangers said they will be honoured from the government what they really meant is they hired a hall arranged and paid for it … buying their own honours is not new to them right enough ? pic.twitter.com/2Nk6yfjUJh

Sons of Pinocchio
They put their Paterson money to good use I see.
Or is this the Shirley money?
Because they always spend the money they don’t have.
Just when we think they can’t possibly get any more pathetic they find a way to prove us wrong. This reveal, and from the Record of all places, is just toe-curlingly embarrassing, or at least it would be for fans of any other club. Not the Deludemol-addled Sevvies though, oh no, they’ll claim it’s more Timmy propaganda and beg their klub to rip them off some more!
There truly is something seriously with ra peepul…I’d say they need help but screw the lot of the hateful bigoted scumbags. Let them let their favourite klub die the same way the did the original. The dumb sods will be on v4.0 and insanely looking forward to celebrating “160 years” before long…
Fuds.
*seriously wrong with ra peepul…
Surely they haven’t got wee Memet in Turkey to run up a UEFA pennant too
Surely not ,that would just be too hilarious
You just can’t make this stuff up. , God how low can you get hire a hall (hope they did pay for the hall ) pay some no body to say well done 150 years old does no one understand that that history stopped in 2012 this was well written that the Glasgow rangers died and the newco was rebranded as the rangers so the title they won or should it be helped along the way I/e 19 pens in the one season never heard or seen in the history of the league but that’s enough of the past into the now 1title in ten years not so bad and now we have the Glasgow Derby Glasgow Celtic v the rangers no old firm now as now Celtic have not changed since 1888 .and the party was held in London with the only invitations that was given out was to the rangers board so they invited themselves and they did go as and kid themselves on that it was 150 years old maybe that’s why they are a state they are in wasting money on a jolly for themselves how sad and mad it’s that
Why did the scottish and UK goverements make it clear that the rangers 2012 hired out the official offices for their pretend 150 years in business which every sane person knows it is just bull$hit and lies what a sad club run by rouges and so called business men and that snake in the grass gove pure $hithole tory bas####.
Ah I see now….. going for 59 (including 3rd, 2nd, 1st Div)
