Rangers advertising campaign being investigated ASA confirms

[simplythebest 0]

 

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has confirmed that is it investigating The Rangers Football Club over an advertising campaign run this season.

 

The ASA has confirmed to The Drum that it has received 62 complaints over and radio and regional press advertising campaign that began to run last year.

 

A spokesperson for the ASA, explained: â??We have received 62 complaints about a radio and regional press ad for Rangers Football Club. The complainants have challenged whether the claim â??Scotlandâ??s most successful clubâ?? is misleading, because they believe that the current club was only formed in 2012.â?

 

They added that a formal investigation in the adverts was now underway.

 

The complaints follow the liquidation of Rangers Football Club that took place last year. This led to formation of a new club which entered the Third Division of Scottish football last summer. That club, led by manager Ally McCoist, comfortably won the division on Saturday, but now faces a wait to find out which league they will compete in next year with the Scottish football authorities yet to decide whether to proceed with league reconstruction this summer.

 

At the time of writing, The Drum was awaiting comment from Rangers on the ASA investigation.

The ASA should have the spine and simply reply to the complainants to return back to reality, check the relevant sources and start living with facts.

This is actually a good thing.

 

We're all familiar with the facts as recognised by the footballing authorities. The only possible outcome is that ASA will conclude Rangers are indeed the most successful club in the country. So we get it in black and white from another independent source.

 

OG for Timmy.

There's shit loads of them who are obsessed enough to pull sad stunts like this. Even the well known ones from their various websites and blogs who should really show more nonce and know better are sad enough and thick enough to get involved in nonsense like this because it's in their genes to obsess about Rangers.

 

I'm with Allan & Ian... it's totally hilarious. Horay for the loonball brigade!
