The Journeys

Everyone on this site and others recalls the events of the summer of 2012 as if they were yesterday. We are six days shy of the four years since administration on February 14, 2012. Four years on what has become of The Journey. We expected a few kinks on the road and some adverse cambers but what we did not expect at that time were that those responsible for the journey would be subject to indictments. We anticipated a seamless progression from SFLII to Premiership. What actually transpired was that most Scottish football fans acquired a knowledge of Scots Law and UEFA/SFA articles of association. On Friday of last week we were introduced to a hybrid that Scots Law has ‘yet to catch up with‘ of which Lord Brodie inquired whether this was some form of Scottish Football Jurisprudence. The SFA law of metaphysical and philosophical constructs. A football governance body that operates laws that are inconsistent with the laws of the land.

If truth be told there has been two journeys. A football journey and a corporate journey. The travails of the football team, and the defeats by Motherwell in May of last year, was the watershed of the Green/McCoist journey that began with a new construct,a conditional SFA membership, which no-one had ever heard of. With the benefit of hindsight we now know that the SFA were making up rules as they went along. On the 3rd August 2012, the SFA then transferred the registration of the old corporate entity to Sevco Scotland who conveniently changed their name to The Rangers Football Club Ltd. Scottish Football Jurisprudence had served us well and we were off on a new adventure to export our Rangers traditions with a missionary zeal to far flung football backwaters where there were more pies on sale than spectators.
