Is this a Scottish team Sooper?
 
No, it is a current Football League team and it was in one of the four separate divisions at that time. A clue is QPR were in this division at that time...
 
I looked up the old 3rd division south and presume it is Plymouth Argyle you are referring to, poor buggers!
Couldnt help noticing that after a bright start when we came 2nd, our performances gradually deteriorated as you would come to expect and came bottom twice in the first six seasons; luckily they didn't introduce relegation I think ( or was it a playoff?) until season 7, so now we know where we used up all our good luck reserves
 
The borders of which African country are said to have been established by the amount of land that could be controlled by the range of a British gunboat?
 
Gambia it is, the territory of which is basically the banks of The Gambia river.
Over to you.

I've been there, but on an extremely idle 'do nothing on the beach' week, so can't say I know the place.

Which country had the following officially recognised languages:

Latin
Hebrew
Ruthenian
German
Armenian
Polish
 
Probably way out but I'm going for one of the baltic states. Latvia, Estonia or Lithuania.

I'm assuming that Latin & Hebrew could have been anywhere but Polish & German may well have been in that area.

Ruthenian, I have to admit I have never heard of!
