  1. The wife and I booked our flights and hotel a couple of months ago for the hearts match, as the guy that gets us our tickets didn't think it would be a problem to get them......

    It was a problem and now i am in desperate need for a ticket, 2 if possible!

    I would hate to travel over from Ulster and not get to the match. So if anyone can help me out I would be forever in your debt.

    Cheers, Simon.

    A SOUVENIR statue of Rangers boss Walter Smith on sale for £80 was yesterday branded simply the bust that looks NOTHING like him.

    Fans were left baffled as the Glasgow giants began flogging the bronze sculptures, described as the “perfect memorabilia piece”.

    They complained they only realised it was meant to represent their manager when they spotted his name written on it.

    And cheeky Celtic fans have compared the image to late comic Bob Monkhouse, telly cop Taggart and another Walt — cartoon tycoon Walt Disney.

    The bust, by Liverpool artist Thomas Murphy, was commissioned to mark Smith’s last season as Teddy Bears gaffer.

    The online sales pitch says: “Remember the man with this timeless sports souvenir.”

    Last night Gers supporter Gary Burns, 32, of Edinburgh, admitted: “It looks like a lot of people — but not Walter Smith. I hate to agree with Celtic fans but it resembles Monkhouse.”

    Another fan, who refused to be named, said: “Everyone has a different idea who it looks like, such as Frank Sinatra or Taggart when the late Mark McManus played the role.”

    JJB Sports are selling the bust at the Rangers Megastore at Ibrox Stadium and online.

    Last night the company was unable to say how many they’d sold so far and refused to comment on its likeness to Smith.

    Rangers declined to comment.

    They don't even know his name is Walter!
