🎙️ Barry Ferguson has arrived to speak to the media ahead of Sunday’s Old Firm match.

🎙️ BF: I went back and watched the full game, back in this morning and making sure people are available.

A recovery day today for the players.

Cheers @Frankie - I think BP and heart rate are just about back to normal, and you had to remind me they we face them on Sunday 😁

...but their support's customary offensive rubbish will not be displayed.....

which must surely hand us an advantage......

 

 

 

Frankly, that lot could give Trump lessons in narcissism, and self-importance. 

(To be fair, he's not a vicious antisemite.)

"A football club held in the highest esteem". Indeed - presumably in pederast circles, as an example of how to abuse generations of children and get away with it.

 

It doesn't seem to have penetrated the minds of this soi-disant intellectual wing of the fhilth support that Sunday's match will, as usual, attract attention from all over the globe, and that the Board will not wish to be embarrassed by the content of any display; nor will it wish to have to explain, or attempt to excuse, such content.

Of course, in, mirabile dictu, an exercise in naked cynicism,  refusing permission for a display means that it will not have to be seen to condemn it, afterwards, no matter how mealy mouthed, and insincere, that rebuke would be. 

 

 

Until the last rebel, indeed. God speed that day.

I see Glasgow police will be using some of the powers act on Sunday to search fans remove face coverings and searching cars

They don’t half delude themselves. I suppose they’re not fit for the real world. Never an example to be followed.

Staggering  lack of self awareness (despite their claims about 'knowing their history'), which, I suppose, makes them easily manipulable.

Pumping those barstewards in their rat infested midden would be even better than last Thursday.

Reality is that we blew another season from the off, releasing or selling players we shouldn't, keeping players out of the team for monetary reasons. Then we managed to toil along with silly line-ups and couldn't finish poor teams away from home. Injuries didn't help, of course, but losing home games while the Scum also lost at the respective weekend(s) was nothing short of criminal. Going by form and team-strength, they will be all over us and might collect the title even before the split. Going by our club's and the respective people's standards, from the top brass to the pitch ploughers, this season has been a total let-down, if not to say an embarrassing disaster.

 

Thursdays have put a little gloss on it all, so far. Should we somehow manage to bypass Bilbao (4th in Spain), there's only Bodo Glimt (current Norwegian champions) / Lazio (5th), Tottenham (13th) or Frankfurt (4th), or Lyon ((6th) / ManU (14th) in our way to grab some silverware this season. 

 

Dunno about you, but I recovered some happiness from the blistering form of my local ice-hockey team. And as it happens, I'll be off tomorrow at the first quarter-final playoff game for the German title. Not willing to see the howling hordes at the Scumhut for some time to come ...

 All we are playing for on Sunday is our pride therein lies the problem most of the players don't know what it means to pull on that blue shirt and play for the Rangers to most of them it's just an easy billet and a handsome pay packet for mostly going through the motions they don't know what rolling the sleeves up and getting stuck in means the least nudge and they fall down as if shot by a sniper  well they can change my old mind by proving me wrong tomorrow and play like a Rangers team is supposed to play in a derby match .
