Yeah. I always thought their official name was Glasgow Rangers for some reason. Just googled it though and it seems I've been wrong all along.

Thanks guys, I have a couple of replies now so don't need anymore.

The finished article will appear on our site by Friday 

Happy to keep discussing the origins of Port Vale though and the post about the Port Vale Spitfires takes me back, 2005 and our crazy and corrupt previous board;

You have just reminded me of another one of my bugbears...the way pundits on Sky (and possibly elsewhere) will routinely refer to Man U as 'United' as if everyone is supposed to accept that they - and not Newcastle, Sheffield, Leeds, Scunthorpe, whoeever else - are the default 'United'.  You'll hear commentators say '...when he transferred from Newcastle to United' etc.  Irritates the pants off me.
