After taking two days to decide how to cover the BDO report on the liquidation of Rangers, BBC Scotland have opted for comforting lies rather than reporting the truth.

The state broadcaster has been central to spreading lies in clear sight of football fans across Scotland. With Kenny Macintyre, Tom English, Alasdair Lamont, Steven Thompson and Jane Lewis fronting their operations the BBC has a team that is as big a pushover as Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s Champions League stragglers.

Behind the scenes it seems that the staff at BBC Scotland are equally uncomfortable with reality as their report yesterday tried to provide a soothing gloss to the events of 2012.

The court’s decision was not expected to have any material or financial impact on Rangers now as the club is owned by a different company.

Two tribunals in 2012 and 2014 had previously found in Rangers’ favour, but the Court of Session found in favour of HMRC after an appeal in 2015.

Liquidator BDO was then allowed to appeal to the Supreme Court in London, but that was dismissed in 2017.

In the third line of the BBC report it mentions that ‘The Supreme Court ruled against the club in 2017’. Yes the club not some fictitious company, holding vehicle or any other corporate term used only by the Scottish football media.

As non-Ibrox fans throughout Scotland know the club isn’t now owned by a different company. The club that finished the 2011/12 season second in the SPL is dead, they didn’t play in the 2012/13 season, or any subsequent season. 276 creditors were left high and dry, a decade later they will pick up 14p for every pound owed by the old club.

Now and then a different company might buy into a club but the club stays the same as registered at Company House.

The new club created by Charles Green in 2012 didn’t play in the 2012/13 Champions League qualifiers, they didn’t play in the SPL. They did play in the Irn Bru/Petroltank Challenge Trophy, they entered the League Cup and the Scottish Cup at the first round stage.

Allan McGregor, Kyle Lafferty, Steven Whittaker, John Fleck and Steven Naismith walked away from the rotting corpse, as free agents they joined new clubs.

    Fan on one of their websites while discussing the son of Dougie Park, “I’m not sure if he’s a director of the club or the company.”
    They are in a convoluted mess.

    Imagine you buy a car ,you insure it fully comprehensively and some time later there’s an accident when a wheel comes off and you have to claim your insurance policy ! After an inspection the claims officer refuses to cover the accident saying that the wheels were separate and changeable at any time ,so car and wheels are different things . No claim given ! After chinning him , what would you say to the spiv snake oil salesman …..?

    BBC (Bluenose Broadcasting Cabal) Sevco are surpassing the North Korean News Agency for reporting on Scottish football. All things Sevco are wonderful with fluffy clouds and rainbows. Everyone else doom, gloom, fire, pestilence, plague and dark storm clouds with lightning and floods of biblical proportions. Defund and disband the BBC now if not sooner.
