Here’s two. Ray Reardon, died today and Alex Hurricane Higgins.

Yep, agree, but at least City can suddenly blizzard the penalty box with serial attacks left right and centre.

Yes but inly one in the penalty area, the other two out wide crossing the ball in to eight defenders plus the ‘keeper.

SU, WBA and PNE were once mighty in their land but two classes below Rangers. Now, if Daily Mail is believable, they’re competition for a player who’s left Stoke.

Twenty three miles it’s covered today, I believe. Arrives tonight by the light of the silvery moon.

He’s number 22. Google Scotsman Pattullo top fifty and you’ll get the full list. Be surprised.

Yamal is a young player with potential. Sack him, pick Saka. Williams is hard to criticise but I’ll do it. Disappeared for long periods and not much variation in his play. Prefer the Portuguese sub Conceição. Walker - never. Cancelo’s the man. Bellingham instead of Ruiz Player of the tournament? Cucurella. Had a hard time against Saka - who doest’t? - but Saka never rarely got right away from him. Not the most convincing tackler but usually managed to disrupt his opponent’s game and he was always there when his defence needed a get-out pass or his forwards needed backup. Never stopped. Don’t know why the Germans kept booing him. He gave them the penalty. It was the ref who took it away.

Correct. The English players seem to be a decent bunch and I’ve no quarrel with any fan who goes to the match on a Saturday but tourism fans, many scribes and pundits (just like our own) are a waste of time. The centre forward lashes the ball first-time over the bar: “should have taken s touch and stroked it in” The centre forward tackled trying to control the ball: “should just have put his foot through it” That’s why I never listen to pre or post match discussion.

I should have said their performance in the first half of this match was average. Throughout the tournament they have been the best. Much better in the second half and probably deserved it. You could say England were desperately unlucky in the last minute. What a clearance by Olmu. What was he doing back on the line?

Well, they found their men with three passes and scored. Still plenty time.

HT 0-0. Spain are average. If Rangers played like that we would be losing patience. England should win this easily second half if the Spaniards don’t waken up and start finding a man with a pass.

Neither. Supporter. Well done.

Wright and Windass up front. Dream ticket.

The former Chief Exec ran away before the problem emerged into light of day. The Copland Road Stand is being upgraded to provide facilities for disabled supporters. There’s a photo a few pages back.

No. I think England will win especially if Kane is dropped. Spain have had tougher opposition, they’ll be knackered and though they are a good side, they’re not that good in the way that old-time Brazil were good or more recently France or Spain themselves. Foden, Saka and Tonev or Watkins should get through the Spanish defence while Morata looks a bit off, Pedri is out and the new wonder winger is nowhere near as good as Jimmy Johnstone was.

Decent game, correct result. England were really good in the first half and came very close to scoring about three times twice by Foden and once by Kane. I fear, though, that Kane is England’s Ronaldo. The Dutch came into the match in the second half but no great shakes. Well behind Portugal and Germany and not as good as Austria or France.

Probably left behind with a hammer and nails to get the Copland sorted.

Very good first half. Fairly ordinary in the second. I like the Spanish centre forward Olmo. The wonder winger didn’t do much. Apart from scoring a wonder goal. The bbc commentator was dreadful. Had to mute him early.

And that’s what a Rangers shirt should look like.

No, not No, not one.

Highly unsatisfactory. From the Minute: “The club finished by stating that the project was a piece that was ever moving but the club are on top of that.” What waffle. They should have said there was a problem with materials supply outwith their control which might resolve itself but in the meantime contingency plans were in hand. Simples.

Unfortunately not one of the duffers.

Probably no one knows the completion date. Hampden as a venue depends on the SFA so don’t expect swift co-operation. Unless we are shareholders over-cost is none of our business. The contractor may be under penalty for overrun or he may have an escape for unforeseen causes. We don’t know and shouldn’t know commercial information.

Second half of ET. Both teams playing for the penalty shootout. God, I wish the Swiss could learn a new tune. Yodelling would be better.

The Swiss aren’t very good. Offer nothing up front. Let’s face it, not only could they not beat Scotland, they made Scotland look quite good. If England had a Rooney or a Gascoigne, they’d be two up by now. I expect England to play much better against Spain in the final.
