WadeWilson 4,670 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Did he not try to introduce a new Rangers song for a few weeks in a row? Can't remember if it was adopted or not?The auld yin Hector Nicol wrote anthems for Hearts, Hibs, Dundee and Dundee United... Yet apparently he was a St. Mirren fan! I had been checking if he was a Rangers fan or not in the spirit of the thread.WIKI: 'Nicol wrote and sang "The Hearts Song" for Hearts, and "Glory, Glory to the Hibees" for Hibs. He also wrote and sang "The Terrors of Tannadice" for Dundee United and "Dark Blue Of Dundee" for Dundee. However, he actually supported St. Mirren.'

GMac 1,405 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 The newsreader Alastair Burnett was a Rangers man and quite witty. He used to read the midweek football results at the end of News at Ten. One night he read "Hibernian 2 Celtic and they must be getting used to this by now, nil". Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stage act was the complete opposite from the wee man at the end of the bar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allcinaye 336 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I remember watching Andy Cameron at the now defunct Stewarts @ Lloyds Social Club, Mossend before he hit the "big time"He was the support act for a young female singer called Helen McBennett.His act involved him wearing a Rangers/Celtic strip as his main item of stage prop and that was about as funny as his act got.To maintain his neutrality, which would have been necessary for his future success on the Club circuit at that time, his jokes had a dig at both teams.

Jakes Pal 5,674 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Yep, and no doubt where his allegiances lay. Unlike Scotland's alleged best comedian, who was apparently unsure which team he supported............What about Chic Murray, possibly the greatest Scots comedian imo,and Ricki Fulton, another great, were they bluenoses ?Chic Murray was a comedic genius. Good to know that he was a Bluenose. I remember him as the Headie in Gregorys Girl, had goosebumps as he was the epitome of my own Headmaster at High School, the guy just oozed authority, the mass of kids in the corridors used to part like the Red Sea as he approached.

BLUEDIGNITY 33,715 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Never found him remotely funny, unlike Lex McLean. I certainly wasn't laughing when I looked at his autobiography to see he describes himself as the "token h**" in his golf foursome.Aye the club he plays out of is like a opus dei gang hut !

trains 588 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Think back to the 70's and just how exciting it was on New Years Eve just waiting on Scotch & Wry and then no doubt Andy would be on the Hogmanay special!
