Difficult to choose what was headline news on Saturday, the gubbing of the
Arabs, the fourth defeat in five games of Celtic or our bus having a blow-out
on the M90 and almost plunging into the river - probably the latter. We were
approaching the bridge over the River Earn when the near front tyre blew and
the driver struggled to keep control. When stopped the right tools were not
available to do the job so a car was flagged down and it turned out to be
Andy Rhodes. So the bus convenor and assistant bus convenor buggered off in
his BMW leaving the rest of us to change the wheel! We eventually got it
changed and made it home hours late. Anyway, to the game itself, we missed
kick-off as we were in the chippy, it's only $1.25 for a red puddin' supper
in Dundee. So armed with chips and puddin' we entered the `elevated enclosure'
which is otherwise known as the cow shed. Having been starting slowly in
recent weeks, Rangers went straight for United and won the game by the 21st
minute. The first goal had a neat build up which resulted in Gordon sending
in a cross which Steven headered into the net. The second again came from a
cross, this time by man of the match Ferguson, which Hateley nodded down to
Huistra who done the rest. Thereafter Rangers were content to sit back and
let United do some of the work but the makeshift defence with McCall at right
back didn't have too many worries. The second half started as the first ended
with Rangers sitting back and counter attacking mainly through SAlly. The
third goal came when Fergie released McCoist in the box and he beat Main to
send it into the pokey. The fourth was a shot by Huistra which took a
deflection off Van der Hoorn past Main. This was Rangers biggest and easiest
win at Tannadice since Jim McLean took over 20 years ago. Best for Rangers
were Fergie obviously, Trevor Steven looking like his old self - some of his
first touches were unbelievable. McCoist done well as did Gordon. Bomber was
outstanding marshalling the defence. Results elsewhere meant that a four
point gap has opened up after only ten games.
