He'll have hair like Ginola with the cash he will be on now.

All it took was one performance v Rangers too.

Think they upped the price after the game against us on Monday.

In fairness, he was clearly their best player on Monday.

Not really cup news but Rogic called up as expected for the Australian squad, we will know tomorrow who all will be called up by Japan for theirs. Would expected at least Hatate and Maeda, Kyogo is injured and won't be selected.

I had forgotten about that.
We were meant to be in hospitality so may have got to see it.
Unfortunately the old man is loaded with the cold so we cancelled and its the cheap seats for us.

Its an important ceremony as we remember 30 guys who went to work and never made it home.

he Loving Cup sits proudly in the magnificent Trophy Room at Ibrox. An unusual item, you might think, to sit in a sacred place where mementoes of the triumphs & friendships of one the worlds foremost clubs adorn the walls and cabinets, however, The Loving Cup is testament to the stature of Rangers, as far as back 1937, and a symbol of the willingness of Rangers to come to the aid of a member of the ‘football family’, as they had done so many times before.

One of only 30 cast from a special mould, The Loving Cup was commissioned by the then Stoke City chairman, Sir Francis Joseph, to commemorate the coronation of King George VI (who would visit Ibrox in 1938 to open the Empire Games). Of the 30 cast, 22 were given to English League clubs that finished the 1936/37 season( of which Stoke were one), 2 were given to the clubs who gained promotion that year, one to the SFA on the occasion of the Britain v Rest of Europe match at Hampden Park, the English FA, the English Football League and the King himself.

The story of how The Loving Cup came into the possession of Rangers is part of their history, and the ‘cup’ still plays a part in the clubs continuing history to this day.

On the 2nd July, 1937, a tragic incident occurred at the Holditch Colliery, near Stoke. 30 miners were killed and 8 were injured due to a fire and subsequent explosions. To raise funds for the dependants of the victims of the disaster, Stoke City requested to play the champions of Scotland, the famous Glasgow Rangers. The manager of the time, legendary Bill Struth, accepted the invitation immediately.

The 19th October 1937, saw Rangers travel to the Victoria Ground to play Stoke City. 30,000 fans saw a 0-0 draw. The Rangers team that day was Dawson, Gray, McDonald, McKillop, Simpson, Main, Venters, Smith, Kinnear, Fiddes, Little. £2,000 was raised for the relief fund.

After the match, as a token of appreciation, Stoke City chairman Sir Francis Joseph gifted Rangers their own Loving Cup. His one request being that the vessel should be used in perpetuity to toast the health of the reigning monarch prior to the clubs first home match of every New Year.

So it is, to this day, in the Blue Room in Ibrox, before the first home game of each New Year, the Toast to the health of the reigning Monarch is celebrated by the Rangers board members & the board members of the visiting team.

Rangers predicted team

GK McLaughlin
LB Bassey
CB Goldson
CB Balogun
RB Tavernier
CM Bacuna
CM Sands
CM Lundstram
LW Kent
RW Sakala
FW Itten.

That's a pretty strong line up for Stirling Albion at home.

I think we need to be bringing in a RB this window though. If Tav gets injured we're fooked.

I thought that was one of the reasons Sands was brought in... to provide cover at fullback also?

Possibly.

From what i have read he plays CM and can fill in at CB. Played a couple of times at RB but it's by no means his position.

Time will tell, that might be our plan.

I think he played most of his games at his last team on the right side of a back 3? but can play in CM also?

Got a brief for the Alloa game so going with Master Ginger 2 then meeting lauders for a quiet beer

What’s the chances of the OF being rearranged with us likely having 3 on international duty and Rangers maybe 2?

In London the next day then back up to Edinburgh for the rugby weekend before Motherwell on the Sunday. Nightmare travel plans to sort.
