If you recall the Rangers fiasco in that, in Scots Law, the corporate entity is inseperable from the club then this incarnation of the Yams is the original Sevco. The yams proudly claim titles won in 1895 1897 and Cups won in 1894,1899 and 1904 (yes, they went bust a year after winning a Scottish Cup, spooky or what?) whilst claiming Sevco are a new start with no history.
*Yes we folded in 1891 but we were not an incorporated body at the time so we were able to pick up where we left off.
