Better late than never....

First time on in a while as just lost focus on such things when Covid hit these shores. Strangely, the people I was worried about getting the virus - elderly parents and daughter with asthma - didn't contract it but ones less worried about did....another daughter and couple of friends did. No-one seriously and now hopefully we are going to get back to normal soon. Barbers first as hair looks like Worzel Gummidge's on one if his bad days! Then pubs as really missed them as not a home drinker. Hope everyone has kept safe and nobody badly affected but that a hard ask with so many people 👍
Anyway, less babbling, this is to say congratulations to Rangers fans on here who have been on through many lean times and still were top posters. As people know I never watch Rangers games except v Celtic so honestly cant say first hand how performances have been but one look at the stats tells the whole story. Great start...build a big lead quickly and confidence grew but they have keot it going. Celtic...when things go wrobg then they often go badly wrong as whole host of factors has meant a really poor season. Its been hard enough watching football at the moment....it just isnt remotely right without fans - without my team being frustratìngly inconsustent and without real fight from sone.
Well done to all Bluenoses - utter deserved - and to all Tims then wiith right manager and recruitment (hiw bad this season?) then hopefully back competing big style next season Football us a funny old game and things can turn around quickly!!!

Sharks are circling https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/6810827/celtic-rangers-parkhead-barriers-old-firm-derby-postponed/

As we've already seen these types of barriers are simply lifted out the concrete blocks to become shark weapons so unless manned by hundreds around what is now a huge perimeter then it will be ineffective against the determined.

Embarrassing on so many fronts - clubs, gov, PS, fans.

6m ago on rangers Twitter page...

"Rangers Football Club can confirm Walter Smith had an operation on Monday and he is currently recovering in hospital.

His family have requested privacy at this time."

I'd prefer if folk avoid rumours or speculation to save potential upset.

Get these Walter Smith rumours to fvck

Reading something on social media doesn't make it real. The guy is an absolute gentleman and a Scottish football legend.

How about some common decency and keep it to yourselves until you actually hear any facts

I don't know how much malice is in it tbh. People just worried and stressed about it. He means a lot to many.

Celtic fans on here seem just as concerned as he is a big football figure for all.

Still would be better if people would just keep quiet until family announce something, or if they do it through rangers.

Good to see you posting 7returns.

For me it's flown in cos the weeks & months are so bland & similar.

Year ago last night since I saw my auld drinking mates of 45+ years.

Small beer [ intended ] to what others have lost.

2 teacher colleagues taken by it [one retired other in her 40's].

I don't mean there's any malice. Certainly in nothing I've seen but passing on rumours of someone dying lacks a certain respect

Agreed, it seems people seem to be in a desperate hurry to kill the guy off...it’s disgusting how so many people were ‘in the know’ until rangers put out an official message about it
