The club is Genk, not Ghent.
Short of cash probably.

Are you able to provide a link to the articles in question?
It’s on FF by Mo-trux-blu. He’s done others on many Rangers legends, not just the great XI. They should be assembled into a book but I’m not a member of FF so I can’t make the suggestion there.
Sorry, the geezer’s nom de keyboard is mo_txtrublu.

Another Board has an excellent article in three parts on Ralphie Brand. The author provides this for the 1960-61 season:
”The Front Five scored 130 Goals between them.
Scott (22), McMillan (15), Millar (26), Brand (44), Wilson (23)”Phenomenal.

If HC be truly gone, from whom should we next be running screaming behind the couch?

I haven’t seen the Barker incident again but recollection from live is that he was offside, moved back onside then started forward and got fankled up with a defender.
There was one move out on the wing when he appeared from nowhere, collected a pass, left the fullback for dead on the outside and swung over a perfect cross Johnny Hubbard style from start to finish. Needs to do that many more times.

Hollicom have informed ra Sellik they no longer want to represent the club, no longer want to advise the club, and do not want to provide a PR service going forward
And are delighted to compensate their clients for early termination of their contract.
But maybe the contract has come to its stipulated end and HC don’t want to renew. Is it about a year since they were
appointed, sorry, anointed, chief trumpets?0 -

I removed the bottle of Glengoyne from the table in case it went through the triple glazing.
Even Glengoyne is worth saving from defenestration but I’m slightly disappointed in you, compo. The elite usually have a Speyside in their decanters.

Punditry is easy. Depending on how the centre forward misses a chance the expert can say “should have hit it first time” if he tries to control the ball and gets tackled or if it’s hammered over the bar, he says “should have taken a touch”
And they get paid,

Bring back McGregor.
Play McLoughlin centre mid.

A lot of the crossing was poor though a Hateley might have made it look better.

Much the same as the rest of us.

Past history suggests Accies, relieved that Rangers haven’t scored four, come out with renewed vigour and get a goal early whereafter a nervous and uncertain forty minutes follow and a last gasp equaliser.
Maybe this Rangers side is made of stronger stuff. We’ll know soon.

Every week I hope our captain will turn in a great performance. Ten minutes in and it’s already clear it won’t be this weekend.
What’s that you said, Bill?

Roofe’s finish was Brand-style. Did my eyes deceive me or did he adjust his position by half a step just before delivery of the pass in anticipation of the angle?

What a useful turn of phrase. If I ever have to go back to work, I’ll be using that in negotiations.

Far too much credit given to Hollicom. Spence is more than capable of this balloonery on his own.

Got a yellow in the closing minutes last night.
Did nobody tell Collum he’d signed for Aberdeen?

One for the decrepit among us to grind our china gums and wave our sticks about.
Another topic had us waxing lyrical about the Millar/Brand forward line of the early sixties but they had a sound defence behind them. Here’s the question: was that defence better than the Iron Curtain? Apart from compo most of us will only have snapshot memories of the Curtain. I only saw them together once in a friendly and Tiger Shaw had retired. What’s more I was of no age to make a judgement but let’s not be put off from doing so now even if we’re using the guidance of our fathers and big brothers.
Brown or Ritchie? Billy was less spectacular but more dependable so he get’s the yellow jersey.
Young or Shearer? Think big, so Geordie’s the man.
Shaw or Caldow? Eric the Immaculate, no doubt.
McColl or Davis/Greig? The Iron Man and the Greatest had unmatched qualities but simply as a football playing right half who happened also to be hard as nails McColl was the most skilful of the three.
Woodburn or McKinnon? Hold up your head Willie Woodburn but Ronnie was more reliable.
Cox or Baxter? Do I even have to ask the question? Must be the genius, surely. But wait. We’re talking defence here. I’ll pick Sammy .
So it’s Ritchie, Young and Caldow; McColl, McKinnon and Cox. Don’t ask me again next week. I’ll have changed my mind about every position except Caldow.
Have a go too, youngsters, even if you never saw any of them. I never saw Meiklejohn, Morton or McPhail but I can talk about them as if I had. Inherited memory, perhaps?
