Brechin City vs TBC

Posted on July 16, 2012 by

Charles Green’s new football club, currently registered under the name Sevco Scotland Ltd, is scheduled to play its first ever competitive game on July 28th, away to Brechin City in the Ramsden’s Cup. Three days after that, on July 31st, a meeting of the shareholders of Rangers Football Club PLC is due to take place.

The purpose of the meeting is to change the name of said Rangers Football Club PLC (the old about-to-be-liquidated Rangers) to RFC2012, in order that Sevco Scotland can then legally be renamed “The Rangers Football Club Limited”. (That name being too similar to that of the old Rangers for the two to be allowed to exist simultaneously.)

An interesting question therefore arises: What will be the name of the team that takes the field against Brechin on the 28th?

It can’t be “Rangers”. It has to be called something. What will it be?

This is really rerr. Didi ye see the gemm, The refs an idjiit.Isn’t football just the berries. See I can talk football as well.
I had a great drink in Dublin with an Irish man Brendan O Higgins and a Czech Petr Kaderovek. Are the only three people in the world that detest football.?
Thank goodness we have nothing of any more import between now and 2014 to take up our time
.Except some Glaikit Cup, The numpty league.Whatever!
We got French knitting at school. I suggested that Fench Knitting is something that Scotsmen would surely be better at than “The Tedious Game” yes it is in the name a game.
Aye cheerio.

Presumably newco/sevco/ICBIN-Rangers will only be competing if they have successfully registered as a club with the SFA. To do that they have to have their name approved (as well as presenting various other bona fides)
How can they get an SFA licence without a name?

I love football and everything about it

Semus, it’s been said before, but I’ll say it again. If you’re not interested in football don’t read the posts that are clearly about football.

As Rich Hall says, it’s not rocket surgery….

It appears I am an heretic and have found a football fanzine

+1 for ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not Rangers’ – really captures the essence of newco and the tragedy of the situation. Could also settle for ‘Govan’s Big Team’.

Take a leaf from the Fiver, and call themselves PopesNewc O’Rangers.

Could be Rangers Club, easily abbreviated to RC
or to avoid confusion Her Majesty’s Rangers Club again easily abbreviated….

So the interesting thing is they’re going to be de-registering one trading name and then registering a similar name soon afterwards.

I’d hate anyone to get in between these two events and register their own The Rangers Football Club…

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could do as private citizens what they can do with their financial and legal messes?

I suspect the strip colour wil be red white and blue despite all this talk of it being sky blue and black.
The supporters would never wear it. Literally.

“I suspect the strip colour wil be red white and blue despite all this talk of it being sky blue and black.”

All what talk? I haven’t seen anyone suggest they’ll be playing in anything other than the current Rangers kit, complete with badge.

@Chris:
Canny be ‘Govan’s Big Team’ – everybody knows that’s the nickname for Benburb Juniors…

They should become an exhibition team and play as the Govan Globetrotters. They could set up a patsy team called Wishaw Generals to play against.

I can think of a few names for them but I don’t want to get started and then have to put more money in the swear box.
