Answers at bottom of page


The Answers
1. Rangers, and St Mirren,  Hibernian is named after Ireland, Raith is the name for a area around Kirkaldy, Clyde is the name of the river, Albion is a name for Britain, so Albion Rovers as well. Then again St Mirren, were kind of named after a church in Paisley, so maybe it is just one. 

2 Arsenal, 

3 Woolwich Arsenal, was a location they were named after, but that does not stand out in terms of looking at the modern generic Arsenal name. 

4 None are official names, Aberdeen of course play in Aberdeen, and all the other names, are added so that people in other countries can know where they come from, but nobody complains, which is good, 

5 Each have the nickname, the Dons, 

6, Queen Park won the Scottish Cup, Queens Park Rangers won the League Cup, and Gap Queens Park, from Wrexham, finished bottom of Wales's 2nd tier, league, the regionalised North Wales part that season. 

7 Everton United and Sam Mendes, 

8, It is the name of one of the teams, 

9 Each of these teams, have a major team named after them in the top tier of their leagues in recent 2020 history, 

10 Their major football teams have the name Saint in their title, or are nicknamed as such, Santos actually is a Brazilian version of that name, the Saints, and Sao Paulo,,  

11 Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC, 

12 Washington Whips, 

13, Athletic, with 4, 

14 United, Thistle and Rovers all seem to get 4, but Athletic jumps to 5,

15 They all seem to be people's names, if you hear them, A American sports team, the Tamps Bay Rays, would also gets in. 

16 They are all parts of the body in their name. Also they sound like it when said. Unlike Forfar fARMington, BreCHIN City, and Auchinleck Talbot., 

17. So they are famous as rugby, then football, then tennis names, not croquet, or the other way around for the first two. The last was due to be the name of Kilmarnock Athletic a football club who were rivals to Kilmarnock FC, in the late 19th Century, so notable to be mentioned in their histories even to now. So it had a cricket in their name. I thought I would find a cricket team who played in the Scottish cup but did not. Even Bon Accord are debatable in terms of whether the team who lost 36 nil to Arbroath were actually a cricket team. 

18 They are all kind of terms connected electricity, 

19, They are all methods of transport, 

20 They are the names of wildlife. 

21 They are all kinds of meat in their name. in a way, if you are just listening, not spelling.  Also Eintracht Frankfurt and Rapid and First Vienna, as of being names of hot dogs could be in it, and I mean Wienner and Frankfurter but not exactly,

22 Bun, Mint, Cake, Smokey, Pie, larger, Bridie, All food and drink stuffs. The nickname of Dundee United is also the Tangerines, but I could not shoe horn that into the question.

23 Spartak Moscow are named after Spartacus a Roman hero, Also Pompey was a Roman general.  whereas the others are Greek ancient totems, 

24 The last is a TV show, the other's are football teams,  

25 Preston North End, Northwich Victoria, and North Ferriby United would also do, and a team I had only heard of recently Dundee North End. Plus of course Northampton Town FC, 

26 All the names have military associations. 

27 Raith Rovers as in Rath. You could even say Rath Rovers as an error or miss spelling.

28 Actually Colo-Colo is the so described club in Chile and they are named after a Mapuche chief of legendary status.

56 Rangers FC

57 They are mistaken versions of the official names of these 4 clubs, Munich 1860, Athletic Bilbao, and Paris St Germain, 

Atletico Madrid is the right name for that club.

58 Celtic, and Celtics,  

59 Inverness Caledonian Thistle Inver is Gaelic, and Aberdeen, Aber is Brythonic, so Welsh, likely olde Pictish.
