I get your point. I don’t think celtic were taking it easy. I think the Rangers players knew the points didn’t mean a lot so without that pressure they played without the usual fear paralysing them.

All of the above.

Who’s Alloa’s manager?

Right, Rangers can get started now.

It’s ok. Hibs have to score again before the match begins.

Burnley edge in front, Sunderland hold on but unfortunately Blackburn and the Baggies look out of it. Burnley must be regretting all the draws.

Great centre half. Great captain. Easily takes a place beside Woodburn and Young.

Archetypal Gascoigne goal and to think Gordon Durie was looked on as a B List striker. We didn’t know how lucky we were.

Everybody fails at United. There is no football chalice more poisoned. If ten Hag is looking for a charity hobby the job should be his. Diverging off topic, I wonder who United’s Souness will be, namely the bloke that swaggers in and revives the failing corpulent toad. Whoever does it will be made for life. Not looking forward to the day but it’s coming though not tomorrow.

The Liverpool three were Souness, Dalglish and Hansen featuring in three winning finals plus Nicol as a sub in a fourth. Robertson was in one winning final for Liverpool as was Crerand for United. Looking back through the old lineups of English clubs, the demographic change between Liverpool 1983/84 and United 1998/99 is startling. United had only four Englishmen the same number as Liverpool had Scots though they also had an Irishman, a Welshman and a Trinidadian. After that it just gets worse.

Let’s hope he goes south or overseas. If north, no further than Newcastle please.

The noble lord may achieve his lifelong ambition.

Innocent I may be but I’m a Presbyterian trained innocent so I don’t do miracles unless you count the result of the Aintree Hurdle yesterday.

Irony, my man, irony.
