We went 0-1 down 20 seconds in but at half-time we were 4-1 up, so we turned it round and played really well,” he said.“After a slow and scrappy start we did very well to come back into it.”Thurso Rangers’ Willie Inrig took man of the match after scoring a hat-trick while his team-mate, Scott Bell, also put another three past the Spartans keeper.Thurso Spartans’ three goals came courtesy of Graham Scollay and Scott Davidson.A new trophy for the cup was sponsored this year by Jektec after the previous two cups were given pride of place at Ibrox.The pitch fee was sponsored by Numax with the strips coming courtesy of the Park Hotel football team. Referee Bob Gunn waived his match fee.Gunn also explained that he planned to take a step away from the technical area soon and hopes to find a suitable replacement to take the team forward.“We’re open for people to come negotiate with us. My preferred option would be for someone else to take over as manager and I could stay on as ownerchairman,” he said. “I’d just rather someone took it over, even if it was joint managers.” Interested parties can contact the manager at: alyn_gunn@yahoo.co.uk.The Rangers fan team got together four years ago and played several seasons in the amateur sevens league on the all-weather pitch.After securing sponsors they decided to put on a cup competition in memory of left-winger Cooper, one of the most respected players in Rangers’ history. buye-editionRead the latest news in digital formatTourismHighlands and Islands Tourism AwardsGood AdviceClick here for our featured articlesTurf TalkingHorse racing tips and tricks Scottish Provincial PressOur newspapersCompany Information T&CsTerms and Conditions MagazinesHighland LifeExecutive /spp/johno'groatjournal/s?main.sport.football.article.thurso_sides_cup_tribute_to_rangers_legend_02082011.page Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
