It was good to hear from the chap currently occupying the big chair at Sevco.
Mr Gilligan is the real deal, a genuine fan who loves both Ibrox clubs as one.
In fact, he doesn’t have favourites and treats Rangers (Est) 1872 and Sevco Scotland Limited (Est 2012) as if they were the one club.
You can read his dignified and uplifting statement here.
However, just in case one day it disappears from view here, it is in full.
Today, I heard from a well-placed source that the Sevco High Command has been active behind the scenes dealing with some insurgent types who wish to effect regime change at Sevco.
I was supplied with the identities of three household names within the Ibrox firmament, who had recently been sent legal missives.
Essentially, the chaps who are currently in charge of the basket of assets have had enough of them!
In footie terms, the…ahem…“rebels” should now consider themselves on a yellow card.
Consequently, the next bit of agitation amongst the Ibrox klanbase will result in them seeing red.
On the playing front, or rather the non-playing front, I’m told that Danilo Pereira da Silva continues to treat his rehab regime with his customary disciplined professionalism.
He must be a joy to work with, such dedication!
Notice how Sevco’s chairman said the priority was to support the manager in “any way we can”. This isn’t a ringing endorsement. It implies the club doesn’t have much support to offer and not all of that support is going to be provided. If the club was 100% behind the manager, they’d have promised to support him “every way we can”.
Hi Phil,
What would be the out come if Sevco are unable to pay the fines to UEFA. Just a thought?
That isn’t an issue. The amounts are small.
Whatever could you mean Phil, Danilo always walks with a limp, don’t you know.
In fairness to the Gammon in Chief that’s about as clear as you can be on the Pyro.
Surely clubs with issues on it, including our own, could pay for the local Police to bring sniffer dogs to patrol the turnstiles to root out the devices and prevent them being smuggled in.
I get why people want them, I happen to like the image it shows of intimidation and hostility to the oponent, its tribal and stirring. I do however, don’t think the human and financial costs are worth it though so it has to stop. You can’t put 2 fingers up to the law and complain that you get treated like criminals.
Thomas, if you’re a regular reader then you will know I have been writing about Celtic’s pyro problem for years.
As is the norm, not a Single mention of a company that runs the club.
