Andy Little's Boots

From playing league games against the likes of Annan and Elgin to qualifying for the Europa league, the only one who's been there through it all.
Even though he was on the bench glad he was there tonight.
 

My letter to the rat:
 
On the morning of July 2, 1937, 30 coal miners lost their lives in one of England’s most tragic mining accidents at the Holditch Colliery in North Staffordshire, England.
A number of fires and explosions below ground accounted for the lives of the men who had returned into the mine in an effort to rescue their colleagues who had been attempting to extinguish fires that were burning at the coal seam.
News of this tragic event reached Scotland, hardly strangers themselves to mining disasters, and, in an act of solidarity, Scottish football League Champions Rangers FC travelled to the Victoria Ground to play Stoke City in a benefit match for the victims of the disaster. While the match ended goalless, it raised a much needed £2,000 for the relief fund and families of the lost miners. For their efforts, Rangers FC were presented with a limited edition Loving Cup from Stoke City President, Sir Francis Joseph, one of only 30 that had been made to celebrate the silver Jubilee of King George V. Identical Loving Cups were presented to the 22 English First Division clubs of the time, with the others going to the British Museum and various organisations. Sir Francis Joseph had only request, that the vessel should be used in perpetuity to drink to the health of the reigning monarch prior to the club’s first home match of every year. And so it is to this day, the New Year toast is celebrated in the Blue Room at Ibrox by the assembled directors and guests of Rangers FC and the visiting team at the first home game of the year.
It is then with some surprise, and a not inconsiderable level of disgust, that I find you, Deputy Leader of Glasgow City Council, openly mocking the tradition, the ceremony and its significance on social media platform Twitter comparing it to an episode of Only an Excuse. Scotland has seen more than its fair share of mining disasters over the years since coal mining first began and there are many accounts of the horrible conditions these men worked in and the horrible deaths they suffered and the loss and suffering experienced by the families they left behind. Yet, you see fit to mock that ceremony. Could it be that your judgement is perhaps being clouded by your contempt for coal miners?
Further observations on your Twitter account would suggest an association with a certain Mr Phil Macgiollabhain . Mr Macgiollabhain, (not his real name) was once a staff journalist with An Phoblacht, a newspaper published by the IRA and author of the contemptible anti-Rangers FC blog entitled “The Incubator”. Could it be that he despises coal miners as much as you?
Mr McDonald, you and I both know that you and Mr Macgiollabhain probably don’t dislike coal miners but what we both know, and is very apparent from your Twitter account, which after your numerous vile sectarian tweets were exposed you hastily set about protecting and deleting your previous posts, is that you do share an apparent and delusional hatred of all things associated with Rangers FC and from your many Tweets, an unhealthy adoration of celtic FC. So much so that you used you abused your position at Glasgow City Council to influence your colleagues at Glasgow Life, to circumvent due process and to overturn the decision to allow a “Fan Zone” to be established at Ibrox. Perhaps you might advise me of any other entertainment licenses you have used your position to have revoked. Strange how so called “Fan Zones” would only enhance the supporters experience if they were established at Hampden and in the East of the City
I believe your behaviour is unbecoming of an individual within an organisation of Glasgow City Councils magnitude. You have been elected and installed in the exalted position of Deputy Leader of the Council that you may represent all of your constituents not just the ones who share your apparent love of a particular football team and your political party.
I look forward to your response. 

Around three weeks ago, Club 1872 received formal confirmation from Rangers that the proposed Ibrox Fanzone pilot has been cancelled for the foreseeable future due to the direct intervention of SNP, Glasgow City Councillors Stephen Dornan, Susan Aitken and David McDonald.
Very serious questions now exist over the actions of Council Leader Susan Aitken and her deputy David McDonald in this process, and that is something on which we are seeking urgent clarity from Glasgow City Council (GCC). We recently submitted an FOI request to GCC in an attempt to discover precisely what role these two councillors played in ensuring that the Fanzone application had to be withdrawn prior to a scheduled licensing hearing even taking place. We have also written to them personally to ask them why they intervened in this case and what track record they have of intervening in similar public entertainment licence applications.
Having seen Mr Dornan’s public comments, as well as his submissions to the Licensing Board on the matter, it is clear that he has taken every opportunity to misrepresent the purpose of the fanzone and the excellent work which Rangers do to support the local community. Mr Dornan’s attitude towards Rangers and our supporters shows a level of ignorance and malice which does not reflect well on him, either personally or in his role as councillor for Govan. However, our understanding is that his lobbying efforts had been unsuccessful until the late intervention of his colleagues. Despite council officials and Glasgow Life - who have vast experience of holding major sporting events in the city - being fully supportive, these individuals appear to have used their positions to circumvent due process.
In recent days Rangers have received support on this matter from across the political spectrum. This has shone a light on these activities and we thank those involved for having the integrity to speak out publicly.
Having been in close contact with Rangers regarding the Fanzone for a number of months, and having ourselves provided a submission as part of the licence application, we are pleased that the club is refusing to accept the situation as it stands. We will continue to work closely with them to ensure that facilities for our supporters at Ibrox improve over the coming months and years, regardless of any attempts to hinder that progress.

Personally I wouldn't want any of our players in the squad. Extra games, travelling, more chance of injury, etc and all just to represent the Tartan Trannies. 
Hopefully they keep being overlooked.

It's worth bearing in mind that in Souness' first season we won one and lost two of the first three games, we then went on to win the double.
I'm gutted at the result and Gerrard needs to learn from this, but a bit of perspective is needed.

An update if I may for my "Rangers Family" (I truly feel both humble and honoured to call you all family) sorry to say that things have slipped back quite a bit over the last few days and due to sickness and weight loss plus generally feeling pretty rotten I am being admitted back into hospital tomorrow (for observation) their words not mine, without sounding a boring and repitive "old fart" may I thank you all again (again) for your support and thoughts life truly is pretty rubbish at times and no matter what it throws at you there is always much worse off. When I make it back to our beloved Ibrox I intend doing  a scoreboard announcement to let "my family" know that this old man has made it back to see his beloved Rangers who he first saw a long 58 years ago.????????????

This is the beginning of the end for Paedo FC. And yes it is Bears Den, it couldn’t be anymore fucking relevant that our biggest rivals are about to miss out on £25-30 million. 
A manager who is at Loggerheads with the board. 
Players that don’t want to play for them. 
A ridiculous wage bill that they can’t afford. 
A woeful defence. Genuinely woeful. 
If rumours are to be believed a legal case that could become absolutely huge. 
This is a massive turning point tonight and we couldn’t be better placed to turn the tables. Outstanding! ??
When you spend £2million quid on disco lights for the champions league and get fucked out in the qualifiers. If Carlsberg did Tuesday nights! 
 

How the fuck can these cunts get a signal inside Ibrox?

What about all the tax loopholes celtic use Andy? Film company anyone..........

Andy walker is a grade A cunt, end of. 

Can't believe even they have the nerve to say they deserve a discussion with us after some of the shit they've done to us over the last decade.

No disrespect to our incomparable  away support, but the heart of the club is the 40 odd thousand Bears who kept buying season tickets even when we were kicked down to the bottom tier, and keep buying them.

Standing outside the Main Stand on a pissing wet match day & JW entering the main door seeing us drenched & brings us inside, took us up to the kitchen & got us some soup before giving us a quick tour of the trophy room. He then handed us over to a steward & told him to look after us and off he went. Watched the game that day in total disbelief as my hero turned out to be everything & more. 
He was a hard bastard indeed but had a heart of gold & a true Ranger. 

Boggles my mind knowing there's folk out there living perfectly normal lives out of the spotlight that achieved so much and don't prattle on about it. From what I heard, he was a car salesman for Arnold Clark recently. Absolutely nuts to think he's pulled on the jersey during such a hugely successful time for the club. Can only hope he fights this recent diagnosis until the bitter end. WATP

Transferred to the Donated list. 

Donation made as promised. 

Was potentially the difference between us going out and not.
But he is definitely still a cunt. 
He needs to save every shot at him and score 30 goals in a Season before he's not a cunt. 

Like or dislike Windass, this post is ludicrous.

He’s not dead. He’s been diagnosed with MND. I know someone who’s spoken to him in the last couple of days and they said his speech is affected but I don’t know much else. 

No problem. 

If you can pm me too @Zetland I’ll get a donation sorted this week. Cheers 

Windass deserves everything he gets.
He has treated the fans with total contempt and simply doesn't have the attitude for a Rangers player.
Blotches of talent but all in all, wouldn't be missed. Should be cleaning Glen Middleton's boots.

Enjoy
