The tie was played in Germany if I remember correctly, how on earth that's a European tie even by UEFA standards is anyone's guess. No, it was played in Russia. All the Russian fans were chanting "Rangers" and applauding the team for humiliating their team. I tape recorded the game on cassette as it was only on the radio, ( I think) Can't think why else I would have listened to the game on radio? And I still have that cassette somewhere in my old collections. Got highlights on TV later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also a visa application centre but no Embassy. I applied for my visa in 2013 and it took one week and it involved a trip to Edinburgh (not to the consulate). The flight to Moscow i got was form Gatwick for £90 (flight from Glasgow to Gatwick was a reasonable £26) - return prices weren't much more. Hardest and and most troublesom part of the process was the hotel coupon you need from government-backed hotels and hostels. Unless it has changed since 2013 which I don't believe has based on conversations i had last week with people close enough to the VFS (the Embassy outsourced visa contractor) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really knocked it out of me by the time I was home, can't imagine playing an old firm after that trek. The visa was no hassle though, I dropped off my passport at the Embassy in Edinburgh first thing in the morning and collected it after lunch. Aye, travelling is a cunt when it's that distance, and time difference. I didn't really think about it before all this visa shit, but travelling could fuck us up for the of game. Hopefully we put it out of their reach on Thursday, as they don't seem like a team that have got a lot of goals in them. Heard an English journalist on Talksport the other day say they only seem to win, or lose, by one goal in the league last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
