Aird---we are a better team than Hearts

Aird actually said he thought Rangers had a stronger squad, but conceded the team hadn't been good enough.

World of difference to what the rags are reporting.

The press have only one motive - headlines to sell newspapers. A very few report on news events and issues of real interest

I just read said quote from Aird, sheite stirring Journos, to be fair Rangers probably do have a stronger squad but as with more than one Celtic player I really wish they would keep their fecking gobs shut, it never ends well when they start pontificating

I didn't read the rags, i was commenting on the op/s.

The press have only one motive - and the SFA ....GET newco back in the top league any way they can...CHEERS

Hearts v rangers 1996.
On September 14, 1996, in his first spell as manager at Tynecastle, he took his players to Ibrox.

Eight months earlier in Glasgow a hat-trick by Allan Johnston had given Hearts a shock 3-0 win over Walter Smith’s men and Jeff was confident his men could upset the odds again.

But he was left reeling when whistler Gerry Evans sent off FOUR of his players – a record for Scotland’s top tier – in a 3-0 defeat.

Hearts were so incensed by Evans’s display that chairman Chris Robinson told Jefferies to abandon the game – an order he refused to carry out.

Hearts v rangers 1988
However, he was left out of pocket to the tune of £1000 after a bizarre incident in September 1988 when he locked David Syme in the referees’ room at Tynecastle after a stormy game against Rangers.

The Jambos lost 2-1 and tempers were frayed at the end of the match when Syme and his team returned to their dressing room, only for Park to turn the key in the door and lock them in.

He walked away with the key, returning shortly afterwards to free the hapless whistler, but Park’s claim he was only trying to defuse the tension fell on deaf ears at the Scottish League.

Smith, vice-chairman at Hearts for 13 years and still sprightly at 83, told Record Sport: “Let’s just put it down to keenness and over-exuberance on the part of Douglas that day.

“I followed behind him to the dressing rooms, trying to get him to stop, but to no avail. The incident certainly did not do him or us any good.

“As a club, I believed we suffered from refs for years afterwards – you know how much of a closed shop it is among them. Thems the FACTS things never change. rangers WON both games.. YOU NOTICED THAT. Friday night WATCH. !!!! CHEERS
