Rangers are About Football, Not the Other Crap
With all the criminal and financial activities going on its hard to remember that we’re actually in the football business.
That’s right, that game that inspires us to turn out in wet and wind. And there’s been quite a bit of wet and wind around too.
The playing staff are either in old age or they are insufficiently acquainted with the Rangers’ tradition that they cannot be trusted to “keep-the-heed” when set upon by the protagonists; those troublesome pretenders.
Cool heads only please on Sunday, no well intentioned retaliation, however much you are provoked by sectarian slanders. We need this game, just this one game, and the opposition falls apart.
Fortunately there is one man upon whom we may rely in this troubled hour, Walter Smith. He is the only one capable of picking the winning team, keeping a cool head, weighing the options, and can be relied upon to be magnanimous in victory. And hopefully that saint of derbies past, Super Ali, can inspire the unsteady, strengthen the frail, and lead the line. Its just the right training for next year when he has to burn midnight oil and the telephone lines to Super Walter.
This is something else we always knew!
A true blue always wins through!
Honours All Round
When Jock Stein, in that great Scottish tradition, pulled miracle after miracle out of the hat, with dignity and composure, energy and skill, he was passed over in favour of Sir Alfred. Let that not happen again.
The campaign starts here for Sir Walter, another Stein for different times, for services to the greatest game on earth, our game - football.
