that's it ; I`m getting a dog and calling it Sevco.
You live in an enlightened neighbourhood?
If he ever escapes out the hoose you might get a few stairs running down the street shouting 'SEVCO!!'.

I'm too reliant on Chrome spell check, if it doesn't go red I don't notice.
They've updated it today btw - it goes green now for bad grammar. Obviously not good enough.

Rangers advertising campaign being investigated ASA confirms
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has confirmed that is it investigating The Rangers Football Club over an advertising campaign run this season.
The ASA has confirmed to The Drum that it has received 62 complaints over and radio and regional press advertising campaign that began to run last year.
A spokesperson for the ASA, explained: “We have received 62 complaints about a radio and regional press ad for Rangers Football Club. The complainants have challenged whether the claim ‘Scotland’s most successful club’ is misleading, because they believe that the current club was only formed in 2012.”
They added that a formal investigation in the adverts was now underway.
The complaints follow the liquidation of Rangers Football Club that took place last year. This led to formation of a new club which entered the Third Division of Scottish football last summer. That club, led by manager Ally McCoist, comfortably won the division on Saturday, but now faces a wait to find out which league they will compete in next year with the Scottish football authorities yet to decide whether to proceed with league reconstruction this summer.
At the time of writing, The Drum was awaiting comment from Rangers on the ASA investigation.

Imagine for a second...just one second...being one of the 62 taigs who complained.
Imagine being such a complete and utter f***wit? You would be closer to an amoeba than a human being.

Re: Rangers advertising campaign being investigated ASA confirms
And Rangers sit and do nothing to challenge claims about the new club garbage for months so here we are.....laughable as it is.
This is entirely the clubs own fault for failing to tackle the haters in the early stages.
People need to forget the 'Timmys hurting' crap and start demanding the people up the marble staircase do what the fans want, and start bloody defending the club.

Perhaps they've done us a favour as when the ASA tells them what UEFA and the SFA have told everyone else, i.e., that it is the same club, then the message may finally get through to them.

No chance.
There'll be songs sung about them and their magnificent deed which will be passed down through generations, for at least the next 500 years ...
Sixty-two brave righteous men
Faced down the sevco horde
And with a stroke or two of pen
Ended the lies outpoured
They then went home and had their tea ...
Huns in uproar been asked to pay 500 grand for the spl inquiry into their cheating . This is perfect opportunity to tell them they are a New club when they are not paying the punishment their old club received . Time for all their old history that is shown at Ibrox to be forcibly removed .
