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?

25 to “Brechin City vs TBC”

    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?

  10. 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….

    +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’.

    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…

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

    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.
