Well lucky ol' Falkirk.

Pish, there won the Tennents Sixes as well as a Scottish Cup which even I'm
struggling to remebember when exactly - but not who ... the good ol' Gary
Steven / Joe Miller 1-2!

Correct!

If The Daily Ranger is to be believed it's going to cost them #200000, methinks
that's all that's left in Biscuit Tin at the moment.

Can't we give him away?

Methinks The Bernard Matthews Works Team had a better player.
says the Norwich manager....well seeing they nearly got relegated

Indeed ... and had former Ranger's pin-up, Robert Fleck   in their front line.

Better watch that Airdrie, woodwork boys we are here!, don't sign him up in a
straight swop for Nipper Lawrence.

Aye and maybe Rangers'll sign another Tim.

As there were too many Orangemen at  Ibrox as it is .

Might be a good move all in all - the fans have trouble enough pronouncing
Durrant correctly - it should I believe be Durrint - rhymes wi' currant - how
apt!   Miko was their best attempt at this one.

when these teams meet Rangers in the cup.

can't blame the T.V. companies though, I'd think twice about paying #10m to see
Ranger's play every week.

Ooooooh I remeber when safety laws let 30000 into Celtic Park - ooooh it was
way back then!
