A SLUR campaign against Celtic legend Jock Stein has hit a mobile phone text service, it was revealed last night. The vile bigots behind the ââ?¬Ë?Big Jock Knewââ?¬â?¢ claims say the former manager kept quiet about a sex abuse scandal at the club. Now punters who text 118 118 to ask the question ââ?¬Å?What did big Jock know?ââ?¬Â get an answer hinting that Stein failed to report Celtic Boys Club molester Jim Torbett to cops. Abuse ... Jim Torbett Abuse ... Jim Torbett The response reads: ââ?¬Å?Big Jock Knew refers to the ex-manager of Celtic football club Jock Stein. ââ?¬Å?It pertains to a matter that Stein knew but didnââ?¬â?¢t report to the authorities.ââ?¬Â A section of Rangers fans have been blasted for singing ââ?¬Ë?Big Jock Knewââ?¬â?¢ at Old Firm games. The chant alleges former Scotland boss Stein tried to cover up Torbettââ?¬â?¢s sordid activities in the 1970s. But last night the 118 118 link was slammed by Celtic fan and MP George Galloway. Mr Galloway said: ââ?¬Å?There are no depths these disgusting bigots wonââ?¬â?¢t sink to. They could slither under the belly of a snake with ease. ââ?¬Å?Steinââ?¬â?¢s name and reputation will live on when these anonymous bigots are dust.ââ?¬Â Galloway added: ââ?¬Å?Thanks to The Scottish Sun for pointing this out. Iââ?¬â?¢ll be raising this in Parliament immediately.ââ?¬Â Torbett was convicted of abusing several lads who played for Celtic Boys Club in the 70s. Advertisement His crimes became public in 1996 when former player Alan Brazil revealed that he had been molested at the age of 13 at Torbettââ?¬â?¢s home in Sighthill, Glasgow. Torbett was jailed for two-and-a-half years in 1998. Last night a spokesman for 118 118 said: ââ?¬Å?We have looked into this. ââ?¬Å?The answer to the question just refers to a historical subject matter without offering any opinion or implication.ââ?¬Â http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/news/article2064748.ece

The Australian had a testicle removed in November after being diagnosed with cancer. And now he has been told by doctors that the operation was successful and he could resume his playing career. Moore, 32, had the operation at a hospital in Brisbane, where he is now captain of Queensland Roar. The veteran defender, who joined Rangers as a teenager in 1993, was diagnosed after discovering a lump six weeks ago. In a statement on their website, Queensland Roar said: "The Socceroos defender met with his oncologist this morning and was informed he would not require further immediate ongoing treatment and was given the all-clear to continue training and playing. "Doctors will continue to monitor Moore's recovery over the coming months to ensure his ongoing health. "The results are a boost for the player, his family, Roar fans and also the club." Moore played at Ibrox during current manager Walter Smith's first spell in charge but moved to Crystal Palace in 1998. He returned to Rangers after a short spell in England and became a key player under Dick Advocaat. Moore was appointed club captain by the Dutchman's successor Alex McLeish but was stripped of the captaincy after a row over his decision to go to the Olympics with the Australian national team. He later played for German team Borussia Monchengladbach and Newcastle United before returning to Australia. He was forced to pull out of the Australian international team for a match against Bahrain after receiving the cancer diagnosis http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/scottishpremier/rangers/3902019/Former-Rangers-captain-Craig-Moore-given-all-clear-after-cancer.html

By ALAN CARSON Published: 22 Dec 2008 rigTeaserImage RANGERS fans were effectively banned from singing the Hokey Cokey last night — as football’s bigotry row took a crazy new twist. Incredibly, church leaders and politicians are urging cops to nab anyone caught chanting the kids’ party anthem at Saturday’s Old Firm game. Barmy ... 'sectarian' dance Barmy ... 'sectarian' dance They fear sectarian thugs will use the dancefloor classic to ridicule visiting Celtic fans at Ibrox. But last night baffled Gers supporters’ spokesman Stephen Smith said: “This is absolutely insane.” The row came after Bluenoses flooded internet chat sites urging pals to chant the song, which experts claim was composed 300 years ago to mock the Latin Mass. Last night Nats MSP Michael Matheson said: “It’s important the police and football clubs are aware of the sinister background to this song, and take the appropriate action against individuals who use it to taunt Catholics.” It is believed the 18th century ditty was originally meant as a dig at the actions of priests during the Eucharist. The Catholic Church says the title comes from the phrase “hocus pocus”. Ridiculous And spokesman Peter Kearney said: “If there are moves to restore its more malevolent meaning (of this song) then consideration should perhaps be given to its wider use.” Gers fans swamped internet chat rooms in a bid to adopt it as a terrace chant. One insisted: “We must sing the Hokey Cokey — must!” Another said: “Altogether now ... Ohh Ohh the Hokey Cokey.” But other supporters were gobsmacked the song had been ruled offensive. One blasted: “We sang the Hokey Cokey at my son’s nursery Christmas party. Should me, my wife and four-year-old turn ourselves in?” 'No agenda' ... Fraser 'No agenda' ... Fraser 3\PA:Press Association Church bosses believe anyone nabbed singing it could fall foul of laws against incitement to religious hatred. But Murdo Fraser, deputy leader of the Scottish Tories, said: “I can’t believe children performing the Hokey Cokey are doing so in pursuit of any sort of anti-Catholic agenda.” Fellow Conservative Bill Aitken added: “There is a degree of over-sensitivity about these things at present. It is time we all moved on.” Gers fans were recently warned they faced arrest if caught singing the controversial Famine Song. Last night the Rangers Supporters Trust admitted they were stunned by any possible ban on the Hokey Cokey. Spokesman Stephen Smith said: “It’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.” Strathclyde Police said: “Any singing, chanting or other behaviour perceived as being racist or sectarian in nature and we will take positive action.” http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/news/article2060575.ece

Agreed, BUTCHER IS A TWAT, I do support Scotland but not before Rangers, and as he was never a regular first choice I do not think Scotland will miss Boyd,if Scotland were a team that COULD play 4-4-2 all the time then maybe yes, but we are simply not good enough to play Boyd all the time, and I am a Boyd fan but realise his limit

I believe bringing through our own young talent is the way to go,however you need to have a world wide scouting system to do that and we don't, why waste good money on POTENTIAL which is a gamble ?, we need to get a proper scouting system in place

I work overseas offshore and I am the same,I think I always just avoid the issue as deep down you know they don't like you and you just put up with them, vice versa,for the sake of work

Apart from the fact that this is so STUPID, I will be fucked if SDM or any other cunt will tell me not to sing this, it is a fucking farce full stop, and regardless of the result on Saturday, which we will win anyway,I will be singing it non stop

Well I will be singing the hokey cokey on Saturday with a huge smile on my face, and if I get lifted I will fight it all the way..............................does anyone know a good lawyer ?
