“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.

In his private life Steven Naismith is very Walfridian.
Scotland gaining a foothold, we need to change it. McLean?
Anya would fit nicely into the Ronny system.
Whitey .. Out of .. Me myself and irene ..

DBBIA – that explains his goal scoring celebrations at Mordor….”please sir, can I have some more?!”

To think that clown Hutton netted the old Huns £9m dodgy dealings by dodgy Dave
Ogla
And he scored 28 goals last season!!
Evening all, back in sunny D-land. Hopefully Mutton will sign for Sevco. I hope you get the result you desire, whoever you are supporting . Having said that c’mon Scotland.

Haven’t seen that one. I think their Celtic stuff is imaginative and humorous and obviously they have a knack of appealing to our sentimentality.

Enough’s enough
Missed the first half.
Got back in time for the start of the second.
Poor game.
Italian commentator sounds as if he’s about to fall asleep.
Fletcher? Better with Amido Balde
SFTB
That’s you up to £6.50p!
:-)
Scotland fullbacks are pathetic
Mon Scotland!!
nye bevans’ rebel soldier
I appreciate the thought old chap but we’ve booked into the Paisley Ritz in any case!
Hattrick for Ronaldo 3-1 Portugal, he could do a job for us
I make that number 10
Who else is on the bench that could play LB for Scotland?!
T4
Just love MON..the memories of him patrolling the technical area.
great times he gave us,
McClean coming on, I’d love to see him play for Celtic.
Both teams really bad.Hoolahan’s a good wee player but he’s getting no help.
I know a lot will disagree with me,but I think McCarthy is vastly overrated.
Has Naismith found a Scottish shirt anytime? H H Hebcelt -wee Anya making a difference
Is Mcclean a boxer on the side??
Neganon
I really don’t want to get involved with OB Act stuff tonight but surely you must realise from what I alerted you to the other night that this legislation is more about political policing and the subversion of free speech in general.
Yes we’ve been pinpointed but the target has a far wider scope.
I think James Morrison has been best for Scotland
Brady, isn’t half bad either
the_huddle
Did you see the Armenian opener? Wow.

Nah, I’m not watching the game, it just flashed up 3-1 with Ronaldo scoring so thought I’d post it :O) Was it good?
Hutton ffs
Feck sake Hutton!
Fletcher has put in the kind of performance that ensures he will never wear the hoops _ thank goodness. I was dreading him putting in a once is a blue moon blinder
