Term: Scotland’s Shame
Started: 2007-08
Reference: Rangers, Sevco, Newco, Zombie Huns, Huns
Description
‘Scotland’s Shame’ is an apt description of the now defunct Glasgow Rangers football club and their supporters, and also for the Zombie Huns / Sevco who followed them after their liquidation, with the same supporters but now a new club.
Rangers history of sectarianism plus their inability to admit the truth over this, and their bullying of their fellow clubs over the years has lent them this title.
Term was coined around 2007-2008, and gained increased public attention following a banner at a Celtic v Rangers game in 2008 (see below).
Following their tax avoidance schemes which led to their eventual liquidation in 2012, the term became even more perfectly apt.
TheRangers club follows in their wake as a new club and their disgraceful behaviour by both their board and their fans means the tag has passed on to them.
