Meaningless, I’m afraid.

Out of interest, if Rangers was 13 points ahead in the league after 30 games and the competition was cancelled, after all we've been through these last 8 years, can you honestly say you wouldn't want the title awarded to Rangers?

No. I would have been screaming for it. But I would have to accept that it wasn’t a full Championship and I would want prize money shared out to reflect that.

Manager Bill Shankly

Asstd. Mgr.  Bob Shankly. Highly successful at Dundee. No bad at the Hibs.

Geordie Young was Ayrshire

Grangemouth apparently. He’s in the east XI.

@Craig will come up with one. I’ll start him off.

The keeper’s McCloy. Eric Caldow. Sammy Cox. With Cox in the side you don’t need many more.

Has Kevin Thomson got a granny from Auchinleck?

That is really difficult to think about.

Demonstrates the decline of Scottish football. You’re struggling for a team but @compo and I pick two cracking sides. Here’s another. 
 

Gordon (Hearts)

Parker (Hearts) Schaedler (Hibs)

Garry McKay (Hearts) Barry (Hearts) Turnbull (Hibs)

Cormack (Hibs) Johnstone (Hibs)  Bauld (Hearts) Martin (Hibs) Willie Hamilton (Hearts/Hibs)

Probably you, a young lad of 40, would have seen only Gordon and McKay.

Stanton Hibs

Cumming,  Hearts

I like your half line. That’s a better solution than mine.

I’d forgotten about Davie Holt. A better defender than my choice, Thomson who pre-dated Tommy Gemmell in foraging up the touchline into winger territory.

I was wondering who Henry Aguero was until it dawned on me.

You could argue that van Nistleroy is a better partner for either Henry or Aguero but you can’t leave one of them out.

Willie Johnston?

Of course. Many classes higher than Matthew.

Pretty sure it was Davie Wilson

The same source as in #2 above has Davy Wilson coming on for Willie Henderson in a League Cup tie at Rugby Park 0-1 v Kilmarnock on 3 September 1966.

I was sort of right but elfideldo was much more righter.

I'd imagine it will be listed in a Rangers Historian.  Damn near impossible to know where to start looking though.

 

 

Try #2 above.

Interesting question the answer to which I did not know.

The invaluable The Rangers Football Companion (David Docherty) shows Jimmy Millar coming on for Jim Forrest n a 5-0 victory over Falkirk at Ibrox on 8 October 1966.

Grierson ineligible- Falkirk bairn.

Move Conn up to inside forward, Greig to right half, pretend Young can play left back and the centre half is Willie Woodburn who should have been first name on the team sheet anyway. How did I forget him?

How about an Edinburgh XI of Rangers' players?

Or, if that is too difficult/impossible, an East Coast XI?

Fife, Embra and the Lothians.

George Niven

Sandy Jardine, John Greig

Alfie Conn, George Young, Jim Baxter

Alex Scott,  Derek Grierson,  Jimmy Millar, Ralph Brand, Andy Matthew.

Shouldn’t these fellows have been playing rugger?

Hard to choose between Bayern and Juve.  Bayern because of what it led to.
 

Cruickshank, Hearts,

Brownlie, Hibs, Thomson, Hearts.

Cumming, Hearts, Stanton, Hibs, McKay, Hearts

Smith, Hibs, Young, Hearts, Reilly, Hibs, Wardhaugh, Hearts, Widden Legs Ormond, Hibs.

No room for Conn, Bauld, Johnstone, Turnbull, Cormack or Joe Baker.

One reason sure and thats always been a given but there is something more to this.

You could be right. Any guess what the something might be?

To me, this current situation isn´t a marathon. It´s an opportunity with an expiry date which is fairly short term but may drag a tadge because of the virus. We won´t get a better chance to push the three amigos from the 6th floor at Hampden. 

 

The three amigos and the Dundee CEO are becoming figures of ridicule. Satirical humour is often a good way of further discrediting people. eg. the Falkirk chairman was on Sportsound yesterday cracking a joke about the IT baloney that the SPFL/ Dundee are desperatly making up. Everyone on the show laughed and that type of thing discourages defence of the indefensible. 

 

Correct.

I haven’t listened to sportscene for years but I don’t mind fellows giving me the gist of its ramblings.

Obviously listeners have to be stout fellows. I daresay fewer fellows are stouter than our members from The Corps of HM Royal Marines and the Parachute Regiment.

Right enough. He was hailed as a future Internationalist.

Jim Christie, Bobby Hume, Colin Liddell (Should have kept Eddie Rutherford)

Hynd played  a decent number of games and fired in the rocket that the Inter ‘keeper could only parry for Forrest to score. 
I’m thinking more of players who really did nothing either good or bad such as the two I mentioned.

Mibbees more Winifred Attwell or Russ Conway.

What´s your style Compo ?

 

Amadeus, Elton John or Chas & Dave

Brubeck? Blue Rondo perhaps.
