    I first saw Sandy as a 9-10 year old, against ra Sellik in a 2-4 victory. He was named as Billy Jardine and played inside right. Within 18 months, we were singing : Sandy, Sandy, Sandy in royal blue, We're half crazy over the love of you, We think it's really magic, When you beat the Glasgow Celtic, You look so sweet, With the ball at your feet, Sandy in royal blue. Another thing that might be missed in the numerous obituaries that will be presented in the next few days, Sandy was a genuinely quick player. He worked with both a fitness and a designated sprint coach. Every New Year's day, there was a professional sprint race over 100 yards held at Powderhall, Edinburgh. If Rangers were not playing, Sandy participated and I believe he finished runner-up on at least one occasion. My own personal favourite memory was a Dryburgh Cup final circa 73/74ish against the green'n'grey. At Hampden, sandy ran from our own box, drifting past 3 or 4 opposition before shooting into their net.

    I was both a Cub and a Scout. I am prepared.

    'Events dear boy, events'. Michael Grant's piece reads as a situation report from 3-4 weeks past. Events have overtaken the presented position. Here's a wee tenet from my professional life, 'never divide one's forces in face of a superior enemy'. The club Board have managed to divide and sub-divide the force(the support) by a clear lack of leadership and a most confused vision of our future. You know, these last few years, Ibrox has leaked like a colander. Amazingly, several days after the original deadline, not one iota of information from this report has escaped. I predict both Wallace and Somers will ride astride a pair of white unicorns into the lush pastures of Gerovia and proclaim Rangers have a dazzling future. It is written, or it will be on Friday morning coming.

    Are we talking Scott Allan, formerly of Dundee United? I saw him in a Scotland under 21 match against Holland, he was outstanding. Didn't he go to West Brom for a sizeable fee?

    Ach, you have got to admire the semi-retired Great Gibbo. He can still summon the energy to indulge in a bit of masturbatory triumphalism. Initially, he masks the unedifying spectacle by evoking a piece of literature lionising Thomas Moore. Glenn is leading the parade, the stick is in the air, ridiculous swagger to the fore, culminating in the release, 'Rangers are no longer a big club'. The 'Rangers are no longer a big club' line has been peddled recently by the usual suspects on BBC Radio Scotland, Glenn has pounded it out(literally) in print. The triumphalism is very real, masturbation is often most reliant upon imagination. The establishment, and Glenn and his Pacific Quay pals are very much the establishment; have poor imagination. A wee side note on the establishment. I hear Stuart Cosgrove has been quite breathless recently, informing anyone that would listen he has been lunching with the Lord Advocate, Frank Mullholland. As a long term advisor to Ms Cunningham MSP, why would big Stu' be lunching with regular contributor to ra Sellik AGMs, Frank Mullholland? We should be told.

    Mostly, it's tone and tint. Hair today, gone tomorrow.

    "full speed ahead for the mighty ship Rangers" The mighty ship, Titanic was full speed ahead when it grazed an ice berg.

    The Record would appear to be in serious financial trouble, the high earners are leaving the building. Tam Cowan is currently waiting to move to the Sun on a substantial pay rise. Principled Tam continually bleats about the very real outrage and communities' tragedy that was Ravenscraig. He awaits on his knees for full throated consummation of Rupert's Wapping wedge. Couthie Stuart and Tam, soooo couthie they should be on a front cover of the Peoples Friend.

    No, not the Ralphie Milne Ultras! Their leader-aff is mad, mental Jum Spence. Rumoured to habitually swagger around Lochee, carrying a chain saw? Although late last year, someone shouted at him from across the road and Jum scurried to find PC Murdoch.

    I am hearing that both Keevins and Guidi have been rationalised, let go, elbowed, received their jotters, .................... etc from the Mirror Group. More to follow.

    It used to be my sphere of influence.

    Graham has given those three paragraphs a cursory glance, initialled the top right corner, and placed the sheet in the out tray. I hope he had the good grace to take a momentary chortle at, "a strong sustainable business plan"?

    The last time Rangers played to an acceptable standard was Christmas week at East End Park against Dunfermline. We won 0-4, going on 7 or 8. Significantly, that was the last time a fully FIT Lewis MacLeod turned out. I know Lewis played another 3-4 games and even scored away against Airdrie, but the virus(although we didn't know it at the time) was beginning to effect his performance. If we want to progress next season in the Championship, Lewis must start in central midfield; the management team, whoever they are, must realise this fact. MacLeod is a genuine heads up player.

    The original piece should have Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds most melodic and nostalgic piece playing as background, Justin Hayward's, Forever Autumn'. The best post-apocalyptic literature I have read is Cormac McCarthy's 'the Road', harrowing stuff. Appropriately, spring arrives after the death of the main character.

    In the annals of utilising a steam hammer to crack a nut, Sandy has played a mean-spirited blinder. Respect!

    I have contacted Merlin and I think some meat has been put on the bones? 1. Merlin sees merit in the 'Sons of Merlin' moniker; however this should be confirmed by the membership. 2. The banner of dignity will be carried forth. 3. Pokey hats with stars(five stars) are acceptable; however crescent moons are ambiguous. Merlin wants the Rangers support to see the whole of the moon.

    Old Leonid was really into heavy metal!

    The 'Sons of Merlin' will be easily recognisable, replete in their star and crescent moon emblazoned pokey hats. The 'Sons of Merlin' will proudly carry forth the banner of dignity.

    Our next two games are the most important of our season, Lee McCulloch's contribution will be key in successful outcomes. These last two weeks, calls to phone-ins and contributions to websites like Pie and Bovril have focused on 'the elbow' ie Lee McCulloch. The previously valued £15million Kayal is leaving for nought, the least he can do is lend his shoulder to Lee the thug wheel.

    I believe Leigh Griffiths is booked as cabaret/community singing host. Further, his children are rumoured to rival the Von Trapp family. Currently singing, 'we are sixteen, going on seventeen'. This is what happens when salt and sauce are allowed to cohabitate on newspaper wrappings.

    No. After yesterday's change in UK law, Green took advantage of the proviso allowing outrageously vain bastards of the same sex to marry themselves. He returned to Normandy this morning and announced his intention to seek a divorce from himself, admitting he had an overnight affair with his other self, behind his own back.

    I support those calls for more monies to be allocated to metal health issues. In the meantime; can Merlin, replete in pokey hat, be allotted an open space where he can get on throwing sh!te at the moon without concerning those in the immediate surround?

    Gerry is a modern day lad'o'pairts. A bit of presenting and contributing on cable/satellite TV, Jim Delahunt's stand-in on Radio Snyde, hosting the odd(very odd) CSC dinner, ................................. etc. His main gig is resident piano forte player at the Corinthian, Ingram Street, Glasgow. Yep, like Spiers, Gerry loves to finger his organ in public.

    Gerry hosted 'TicTalk' on ra Sellik TV for several years. This last couple of years, he has being doing the same job on Radio Snyde's SuperscoreboardXtra.

    These last several weeks has seen his condition develop secondary and tertiary outbreaks. The prognosis is poor.
