    I'm sure that must count as vandalism...
    Taunting of the worst kind, everyone knows the the huns are pot pourri people. Candles are a step too far and I imagine king will already have instructed police Glasgow about which charges he expects to see.

    Another JJ article but its the reference to an article by Hannan that caught my attention.

    The jurno seems to be equating the Rangers 1872/ Sevco saga with Hibernian Football Club stopping playing for a bit in the 1890's and restarting .

    We were a football club then and the same club restarted with a new committee in charge. Nothing like the Sevco situation IMO anyway.

    A quick google search does not reveal much other than we ran into financial difficulty and ceased to operate for a short period of time. I too would dispute anyone should equate our financial problems to the financial doping and tax avoidance possible evasion of the old Huns. Certain its ridiculous to mention it in the same paragraph as the old Huns.

    I'm sure some of the more knowledgeable hi bee historians will fill us in on here sometime soon with more detail.

    I think much of our toil and turmoil around that time came as a pretty direct consequence of actions of Rangers' best buddies from across their city.

    Ha ha even if it were true it would still make Hibs newco 127 years old compared to Sevco's 5 years.

    I think the angle would be that we should lose our 1886 cup win from our records if Sevco loses everything but their Petrofact cup and ,of course their 2016 runners up award.

    They tried to merge them with Senegal at one time.

    But the Hands Off Gambia movement had a rally.....you can guess the rest.

    1886 was a tainted win.

    There was no Celtc.

    Bobby Flavell was my favourite player in that team. Classy...which meant that he played 1 good game in 3.

    Sadly no longer with us.

    Especially as it was in 1887 which directly led to the formation of Celtc 1 year later! All together now, if it wasn't for the Hibees you'd be Huns!

    Funnily enough, when we won the cup in 1887, the old Rangers had won exactly the same number of national trophies as the new Rangers have now.

  24. #35843
    [QUOTE=Keekaboo;4906143]It looks like The Rangers and Celtc are having a slight disagreement over money.


    After the The Rangers Fans smashed up toilets at Celtc Park, Celtc sent them a bill for the repairs and, guess what, it hasn't been paid.

    So, when Celtc were due to hand the money over for the tickets they sold their fans for the last game at Ibrox, they did so... minus 35k for the unpaid repair bill.

    The Rangers are now planning a tit-for-tat measure for the next game at Celtc Park, for damage they allege Celtc fans did to Ibrox at Hogmanay

    Easy answer here is for Sellik to charge Sevco for tickets up front!

    that made me search the details...I hadn't realise Bobby Flavell had died such a young man - 39 years ...sad to find out that. I liked him...a bit of talent in a pretty poor team iirc
