What a journey

[compo 7,055]

Someone once said a journey of 1000 miles starts with one small step well our journey on the Ibrox Express began at Peterhead central we had a few breakdowns on our travels a few changes of drivers but as we get ready to pull into Ibrox central I wont forget our fans and their part on this journey they have spent small fortunes following the team and filling stadiums up and down the country,  so well done lads .

Of all the unforgettable moments and matches/places I'd like to forget since admin, that first match at Brechin will stay with me.

Was in the Brechin end that day as couldn't get a Rangers end ticket. As said above that game, plus the league opener at home to The Shire will live with me for a long, long time

Thank you Mr King and the board of directors.

 

Thank you Steven Gerrard and your excellent backroom staff.

 

Thank you Captain James Tavernier and all the players, yous have been utterly relentless this season, and are well deserved Champions.

 

Yous have all elevated yourselves to legend status, the immortals, the ones who regained the title and delivered 55 and ensured a special place in our deep, rich history.

 

To those we have lost along the way (especially Sandy Jardine), I hope you are up there celebrating today and we offer a toast to absent friends.

 

To us, the fans, the lifeblood of the club, we never gave up hope, we followed near and far and we have just completed stage 1 of the journey.

 

The journey never stops / ends. Enjoy this, oh really enjoy this and make sure everyone hears / sees you celebrating.  However it should be the beginning and not the end (Yeah, I'm emotional ? ). ??⚪?????????? ?? #55times #scotlandsgalantfew #followwewill

Oh to be able to be in my ST seat and see them run out of the tunnel is now top of my bucket list.??

I find myself reflecting on all those in the Rangers family who didn't make it to the end of this journey. The many fans and ex-players who passed away during these ten years who can't share this achievement with us. Some were prominent names, others who were extraordinary only to their own families. I hope every one of them is raising a glass wherever they are tonight.

 

It's also remarkable how many ex-players have echoed our delight over the last few hours, some of whom haven't pulled on a Rangers shirt in many decades. I find that quite touching.

If there is, if there was, if there ever will be, a club which is like no other, 

it is The Famous Glasgow Rangers.

Ally McCoist to Mark Warburton to Pedro (might skip that one) to Super Stevie.

 

Kenny McDowall, Stuart McCall and Graeme Murty all playing roles in temporary charge.

 

Im going to go back and have a look at some of our match day squads in the last ten years, Im sure there be plenty of unsung hero's who played in the lower divisions.

Had that thought too, and find some solace in the song below ...

 

Have you seen the Glasgow Rangers

Have you seen the Glasgow Rangers,
Have you seen the boys in blue?
They're admired by all who know them,
If you knew them so would you.
Oh they have played way in Monaco,
They have played in the USA,
But the greatest game in history,
Is the game on New Year’s day.

For it's the home of famous heroes,
And their praises have been sung,
Willie Waddell, Torry Gillick,
Alan Morton, and George Young.
And when all my life has ended,
And when death has made it's mark,
Will you scatter all my ashes,
On the slopes of Ibrox Park.

And with the angels I'll be singing,
Up in heaven there up above,
I'll be singing Follow Follow.
To the Rangers that I love.
And with my flute I will be playing,
In the valleys and the glens,
I'll be happy and contented,
When the Rangers win again.

Indeed so, my dad is never from my thoughts but currently he is slap-bang in the forefront. He left us when we were at the bottom. I promised him we'd be back, in amongst my other final farewells.  It is doubtful he knew anything of what I was saying, but I hope so - especially now the relief of not having falsely promised is a reality.
