Rangers dying in 2012 was a huge moment in Scottish football history. And as the club was laid to rest, the Scottish media and the games’ governing bodies started the same club myth that has annoyed the Celtic fans for years.
For well over a decade, the Ibrox club used EBTs to cheat their way to titles and trophies and millions of pounds of domestic and UEFA prize money whilst the rest of Scottish football lived within their means.
And when they finally died, the Scottish media buried their heads in the sand and pretended it never happened.
Out of their funeral ashes, Sevco was born, and as the new club denied all the financial liabilities of the dead club, they tried to claim all the trophies and honours Rangers won before they were buried.
Only a few in the media called out Sevco for what they are. Phil Mac Giolla Bhain and Jim Spence were the first two and both were castigated by the new club’s fans and the Scottish media.
And here, Spence gives his reason on social media why he could go back and give his younger self a bit of advice regarding that:
The response seemed joking but when told by another social media user that the question was a valid one, Spence’s response was telling:
The question sparked a bizarre investigation by the BBC into the journalist and an online campaign of hate by the bitter and hateful Rangers supporters.
And whilst Spence put his head above the parapet, his colleagues in the media cowardly ducked and left him to the wolves.
The popular journalist is never one to shy away and call out the ‘dark forces‘ of the Ibrox club. That is why he is detested by them and loved by the majority of the Celtic fans.
He’s also one of the only ones who will call out the sectarian singing from the Rangers fans. If it’s any consolation Jim, the Celtic fans respect what you did.
At least you did not shy away from the truth, unlike the rest of the succulent lamb experts in the Scottish media.
