Scotlands Newest

[ImLostAgain]

Are Annan athletic the newest football in the Scottish football league.

[piggynose]

not sure, but know they beat the ' gers at ibrox last season 2.1
lol

I think that the newest football club in Scotland are the opponents of Annan Athletic who are mentioned by piggynose.

Yes rangers who were formed in the last 12 months.

[ImLostAgain]

Oh thats a good answer SirOracle. I might ask that in our local quiz.
So would that make Annan the second newest?

[SirOracle]

I would be careful ImLostAgain especially if you are asking this in a pub quiz north of the border.
Feelings on this topic are extreme, and you could end up with a major riot on your hands.

Meanwhile, in proper football, Newport County are leading Div2. Hurrah.

[ImLostAgain]

Not north of the border SirOracle but not far off at the mo. I take your point and will retreat a little further south.
Ta for the laughs everybody.

As I understand it it is the same Rangers FC but owned by a different company. If it was a new club it would have to have a different name.
It is also great to see Newport back in the league and doing well btw!

[SirOracle]

Say you're absolutely sure of this Itchkeria. This saga is still ongoing and looks like continuing for some time to come.
If you are really interested then "Rangers FC" has plenty of information on this still unresolved matter.

[SirOracle]

Further to my post the SFA membership was transferred to the new company on 27/07/2012.

See wikipedia.org/wiki/ownership of rangersfc.

[ichkeria]

I'm not sure of anything. But like I say, it seems to be the same club under different ownership.

[SirOracle]

Nobody is sure but the club have a different name now,but even this seems to be in dispute.

I would like to add ( for the sake of preserving my good name !! ) that I am in no way a supporter of the former rangers,or of the rangers New Co.

All will be revealed in the fullness of time (possibly not this year though!)
