    " Of the great team that won the European cup, seven were Catholics and four were not, and Bobby joked that lunch on a Friday would be quite the sight.

    Ronnie Simpson, Big Tam [Gemmell], Bertie [Auld], and Willie Wallace were not Catholics but none of those things ever affected the dressing room. Faith isn’t a thing that you talk about too much if you’re from the west of Scotland.

    On a Friday at one point there were seven fish and four steaks served up and that always got the banter going."

    Worked with a guy who every Friday made a point of getting to the front of the queue at the canteen to order fish. So one day I asked why his reply was if there is no fish one of them goes hungry. Next week I had fish.

    Meh. Point still stands that statement is factually untrue . We signed Catholics, we signed players who married Catholics. They all played before or around the time of McNeill. 

    Meh.He wasn't a Catholic you provided a list of 3 of which 1 was wrong so if you are going to state things as fact do a little research first.

    To whom it may concern,

     

    May I draw your attention to the article (link below) Hail Cesar! Why Billy McNeill is all-time great of British football- https://news.sky.com/story/hail-cesar-why-billy-mcneill-is-all-time-great-of-british-football-11701823. 

     

    Now I’m sure Sky prides itself on being a factual news outlet which doesn’t discriminate or intend to wrongfully slander any individual, groups or institutions. 

     

    Yet this sentence, which is at the time of writing this email, still part of the article- “celtic's biggest rivals, Rangers, were notorious for refusing to sign Catholic players” is factually incorrect, slanderous and inflammatory as it suggests that Rangers Football Club refused to sign football players based on their religious background which is simply not true. 

     

    That statement is slanderous and puts an unwarranted negative light on Rangers Football Club. Here I provide you with a few Catholic players who played for Rangers before the era of Billy McNeill and during the era of Billy McNeill. 

     

    Don Kitchenbrand

    Laurie Blyth

    Graham Fyfe

     

     

    If I could be of any more assistance in educating the man who wrote that article then I’d gladly help or if you’d like further names of Catholics who played for Rangers Football Club then please do get in touch. 

     

    Thanks for all your time,

     

     

    Email for Sky complaints is this - mdthorndike@sky.uk. If people want to use that email template batter in. 

    Fucking sick of this now it’s every article, every report they just have to paint Rangers in a bad light wether that be an attempted murder or the death of a cellic player. 

    Was Graham Fyfe not a Protestant and married a catholic girl?

    Took 2 or 3 days to request the cancellation aswell .

    Was seriously gutted about the cancellation as we were flying and they were struggling. 

    They even got to hand pick the rescheduled fixture right in the middle of our UEFA run .

    Another thing they got away with that would add to your list of today .Big Jan vinger of whatsitcalled blatentently elbowed one of our players and went on to score .

     

    Motherwell Vs Dundee utd . Only two clubs had matches postponed utd not one of them .McGeady was suspended for the original date but played in the rearranged match.

    From what I remember, he was a half decent centre half and was great heading a ball, BUT only if it was straight in front of his forehead. Put it at his feet and he was fucked.

    RonnieMcKinnon was 10x the footballer he was.  McNeil was a player that suited a team that should have got football banned. 

    Ian Ure also played around then also. In those days not all that many internationals played only really Home internationals and qualifiers for World Cup and European Championship. Oh and Ronnie McKinnon was a much better player.

    gain could a.forsyth be standing behind doddy and  the man in question is  gordon dalzeil ???

    Think it's Kenny Watson behind Gregor Stevens. Might be a wee bit before Dalzeil's time plus nose isn't big enough👃.

    I sat through their 9inar & European Cup yrs (they got to 2 finals) it was murder, my da had these books with photos of us winning trophies (sixties) I used to think ‘when will we win trophies’ and I find myself telling my grandkids, it’s ok we will do this, like my da used too. It’s still murder, it’s longer now without a trophy when I was young.

    We also got to two European finals in that period.

    Might take it up to 55k with them screens out guessing.

    It will depend on how it's done. If they leave the supports for the SJ roof it reduces if they are taken it will be a major engineering project.
