scottyscott1963 19,167 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Always chuckled at the shop in The Thistle Centre in Stirling called the soap factory which sat next to the paedo torbetts trophy centre. These were 2 things that were never meant to be together. Soap and tims don't mix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worry about some of our fans. During the Old Firm game at Ibrox we had pics of our fans rallying round a scum fan as he was getting threats/stares on the subway. Sickening some of them have a little love in and don't understand what it means to hate those bastards. Many fans will know Rangers Football Club’s motto as “Aye ready”. But a diehard Bluenose was gutted when he was forced to ask Celtic’s club shop to print jerseys for him because the Ibrox outlet had no “I” letters left. Andrew Grant, 32, from Glasgow , was scrambling to get novelty “Mr and Mrs” strips done up as a wedding present for a Rangers-supporting pal’s nuptials in the US. He swallowed his pride when he asked bitter Old Firm rivals Celtic’s store to help produce the goods. Council worker Andrew said: “I hope the £30 Celtic got from me doesn’t help them buy the next Moussa Dembele. “The Rangers shop had no ‘A’ and no ‘I’ letters – which was a problem when I needed ‘Mr Tait’ and ‘Mrs Tait’ printed. “I’d much rather the money had gone into Rangers but I was desperate.” Andrew was trying to get his gift ready for groom Andrew Tait and bride Ashley before jetting out for yesterday’s ceremony in San Francisco. He said: “You just presume it’s the sort of thing that would be pretty straightforward but it turned into a real saga. The Rangers shop said I should try Sports Direct but the one in the city centre was missing Ts and a 6. “JD Sports and Greaves couldn’t help either. “So I was then scratching my head thinking how to salvage this and thought I’d just give the Celtic shop a try.” Staff at the store told Andrew it was the first time they had ever been asked to help with a Rangers top. But dad-of-two Andrew says they could not have been more helpful. He said: “I had to go behind enemy lines and it was pretty surreal going up to a counter in front of a big poster with Celtic players doing the huddle. I said, ‘I’ve got a bit of a favour to ask?’ And she replied, ‘Don’t worry, if you’ve not bought the top here, that’s okay.’ “But I said, ‘No, I need a bigger favour than that’. Then I showed them the strip. “The guy who does the printing laughed and said, ‘I don’t know if my printers are going to be able to handle this.’ “He said it was definitely the first time it had happened. “He went out of his way to help me because all the new Celtic strips have gold lettering on them so he had to go into last season’s drawers to get everything we needed. “And, as far as I can tell, I was charged the normal price – there was no premium for it being a Rangers strip.” He added: “I hope the newlyweds appreciate the lengths I’ve had to go to in order to get them the perfect present. “Andrew used to be a season ticket-holder and is Rangers daft. He lives in Australia now but is always watching the games in the middle of the night over there. “The funny thing is that the place where they are getting married is called Paradise.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougie76 15,479 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Right l'm going to give the guy the benifit of doubt and say he done this to highlight how idiotic and counterproductive this strip boycott is and how incompetent our retail side of things are. lt's about time Glasgow was flooded with Gers tops again. Ps or he could just be a dick? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
