“My father wasn’t at all keen on me becoming a Rangers supporter. He was a Glasgow policeman and because of that he resented the whole football scene in Glasgow. ‘He was actually very anti-football. When we were kids growing up he was very vocal on his dislike of the bigotry in football. The police in Glasgow at that time saw it as a basis for thuggery.
“My father took me to that first game reluctantly…”
Dave King, shooting the breeze with the Daily Mail in March last year.
“Like all of you who read this letter, I have always taken pride in being a Rangers supporter. It is something I inherited from my father who, in turn, inherited the legacy from my grandfather. This is what Rangers fans do. We pass on our pride and belief in Rangers to our children.”
Dave King’s letter to the season ticket marketing database last week.
One of the two statements is probably true, although with Dave, who knows? South African judge, Brian Southwood, referred to King as a “glib and shameless liar”. Despite this, the SFA decided he was an appropriate person to run a football club, free to send out messages like this, with the objective of relieving fans of an average of £411 per person. This is what happens when you enable people already branded a shameless liar, what do you expect?
I hope the SFA and Trading Standards are alerted to what’s going on, don’t leave it until it’s too late.
I’m waiting for new of the Ben Nevis Huddle, which should have taken place at the peak of the mountain in the last hour. Over 80 people set out on the climb this morning to raise funds for the Celtic Foundation – to feed the hungry, provide shelter for the homeless and help others in need.
It’s a magnificent Celtic effort. My wee brother’s up there, you can give his fundraising a pound or two here. Thank you.

HT –
Thanks for all the good work and updates on this matey.
How do you see it going?
I feel they are shaping up to relax everything on this but crucially reframe everything along the lines that “wans as bad as the ither” again – so stopping the huckling of teenagers singing the Roll of Honour while also pulling back on the teddies and their Famine / BIlly Boys back catalogue…….?

Driving yesterday. Had radio shortbread on. Blithely wittering about how scotland now only have to beat Georgia away, Poland at home and hammer the gibraltarian minnows and euros here we come.
Then without the least hint of a ‘riddy’ the go to a call from a football journalist who lives, works and analyses the game in the country that currently tops the group.
Lewandolski (sp?) could tear us a new one in 5 mins. And yet they’re blithely wittering as though those 3 points are close to being in the bag!
i feel a 1-0 to Georgia coming on when they start to get into ally’s army mode.

Will do – I will put Janice’s UNICEF link on the new article.
I got the start date wrong when I posted last weekend. She spent £4.88 yesterday at the supermarket to feed herself (including purchasing 5 x teabags from her Mum) starting Midnight 15th through to Midnight Friday 19th = less than £1 per day.
She is halfway to raising last year’s sum – God love her!
