A gutter cover, the central portion of which comprises a plurality of spaced-apart deflectable fastener-receiving flaps hingedly connected at a junction with the rear portion, the deflectable fastener receiving flaps being pivoted into the trough, below the adjacent section of the central portion, upon insertion of a mechanical fastener therein and into the rear wall of the gutter to secure the gutter to the supporting surface. The rear portion of the cover may also comprise a fastener-abutment extending in the trough, below the central portion, and defining an oblique angle with the rear wall of the gutter, when the gutter cover is engaged with the gutter. The fastener abutment and the rear wall of the gutter are configured to receive a mechanical fastener therein to secure the gutter to a wall, the fastener abutment maintains the mechanical fastener in an oblique angle with the rear wall of the gutter.
