I often get asked if I enjoy my work as a Football Agent.

Of course, there are times when it’s incredibly mentally and physically challenging. Much like a player, but in a hugely different context.

But there are times when it’s the best, and I mean the best job in the world. Just like last night:

Benfica v Rangers in Lisbon, last 16 of the Europa League 1st leg - which ended, against the odds, 2-2 with Benfica coming from behind twice (with two gifted goals from Rangers).

Dujon Sterling, who as many know, I have looked after for 9 years since 15 years old, scored his first senior goal in 137 attempts (I’ve probably watched most of those games!) What a goal, what a new memory. An many also know, in 2020, Dujon’s career was so nearly ended by a sudden illness, that kept him out the game for 10 months.

What struck me as it went in, standing on my own amongst 3,500 delirious Rangers fans, was what it meant to so many others.

To Dujon: it was his reward for the battle he won in 2020 and never giving in.

To his Mum: a moment that emotionally rewarded her for the countless hours since he joined Chelsea at 6 years old for her love and support every step (or run) he made.

To the coaches and staff of various clubs/ England (to many to name): a wonderful sense of joy for Dujon knowing his journey and the part they played at some point. My phone went crazy as he scored.

To everyone at Rangers (staff/teammates): it’s a team effort from start to finish and a measure of the hard work put in by all.

To those partners behind the scenes (the boot companies, the lawyers, accountants, concierge, insurance, mortgage advisors, barbers, car salesman (endless list!) who know Dujon.

To the media/ journalists: you know who you are and who have never doubted his ability and spoken about it.

To the fans past and present: an unreal bond through thick and thin. Rangers love him coz he gives 100%. He is an elite talent. The fan next to me last night was drunk with a thick Glaswegian accent. Couldn’t understand a single word for 90 mins but when Dujon scored he jumped on me, hit me in the stomach and kissed me 😂 another very special moment.

To Dujon’s close knit friends, in and out of the game: you never doubted.

To my wife, family, friends: thank you for understanding and being there. Countless messages as the goal went in.

To my other clients/ their families/ colleagues: again loads of messages/calls sharing the happiness of the goal.

Football is the biggest sport in the world. It forms part of the wheel of life for so many, for most of their lives. It’s a tough workplace for all involved.

But moments like last night, make it so, so satisfying….and enjoyable 😉

Have a good day everyone. And never stop believing ⚽️ 💙

P.S. in the 2nd leg next week Benfica will experience Ibrox at its firey best. Can’t wait. ✔️
 
 

When that st mirren boy got sent off for foul on Hart

This is the issue for me, the constant niggly fouls that go unpunished for the opposition but that we get pulled up for every single time without fail. It's every single game this goes on and as a club we just sit by and watch it happen. And as today showed, even the stone wall decisions are being 'missed' by the referees as they know anything remotely controversial in our favour will be forensically dissected by the baying mob that is Scottish football whilst if they turn a blind eye to it there'll be 'nothing to see here'.

It's getting worse. Anybody who doesn't think we are reffed differently is deluded.
What was the difference between Lundstram's handball (elbow) to today's with Mugabi?
Casey's foul on McCausland is worse than Sterling's red card all day long. Our player went off injured!! And then he scores the winner.
The linesman called Dessers offside twice in the first ten minutes, both questionable and the script for the rest of the game was written.
Did we play poorly? Yes, but that's a different topic.

It's a gumshield, cementing his place as softest cunt in football.

About time, isnt it?

Tim Walter and his coaching team sacked. 

He was wearing a protective boot when he came on to the pitch at the weekend at full time so doesn't look good

Aye, last summer or January

Aye and it's just the same throw in 90% of the time, straight to the closest player who kicks it straight back at Tav who turns and plays it back to Goldson, to Souttar...

Sound engineer at Sky already had enough of Kenny Miller by the sounds of it. 

A bit of an awkward pitch invasion for Hamburg for the next 10 minutes.

Ooft Jahn Regensburg beating Heidenheim 

It's all going their way now. Don't blow it!

Currently winning against the worst team in the league, just need the second worst team in the league to get something from Heidenheim for automatic promotion 😂

Make your mind up. 

2-1 up now 

1-1 half time with Paderborn. If they manage to win tonight there's maybe still a chance of top 2, particularly looking at Darmstadt last 4 games, but 3rd and the playoff still looking most likely 

If he made a clear and obvious error. 
He's given it based on what he's apparently seen. Which is Morelos hand on their players back. Us and the var ref disagreeing doesn't change that. 
Var isn't there to re referee the match.
It's squarely on Clancy the cheating bastatd.
 

I remember long throws up the line and a header knocked on to the guy behind.  
thing of beauty that.  
 
Much better than throwing it two yards bouncing off someone’s knee/ankle/hip

He’d have passed it into Lundstram who’d have just passed it back to Goldson/King anyway.
It’s everything that is wrong with this team.

Are we at the stage where we are just moaning about absolutely anything and everything
