48 years ago today, DJ scored the winner against the yahoos. 25 years ago today, McCoist scored that overhead kick winner against Hibs.

I steer clear of the phrase myself but there's an extensive list, dating back around 1,700 years, of reasonable arguments against that particular sect of Christianity. The current pontiff is neither here nor there. Only in Scotland is anyone ever pulled up for criticising it. And yet we all pay for its state funded schools, which is one of my main gripes. The Romans domesticated and diluted the teachings of Christ to suit their own agenda. The sheer decadence on display at the Vatican is an abomination. The Inquisition. The brutal way the likes of Jan Hus and the Huguenots were dealt with. Gallileo. The refusal to translate the Bible, to ensure people remained uneducated and unable to make their own minds up. A general inclination towards not taking responsibility for one's own actions. The Nolan Sisters. The more recent cover ups of horrific industrial scale abuse seems to be ongoing. I agree with craig and buster that it's best to deal with these things in a coherent and intelligent manner but a supporters bash isn't a likely place to encounter such methods and I won't be losing any sleep over it.

Only on a Rangers forum could you find a thread about a current young loan player morphing into an argument about a former player's spell on the continent 25 years ago. ?

By and large, Rangers fans have stopped that add-on at matches. Some of you seem to want to take that further, into private functions, which are put on by Rangers fans for Rangers fans. A self-imposed Bear nanny state, of sorts. Of course, that is never going to happen and unfortunately, with modern technology and social media, there'll always be a daftie who films and shares.

Would a non-'decorated' player be allowed to say it? Either way, it's pretty tame going at a supporters function. Durrant is no longer employed by Rangers and he's entitled to his own opinion on whatever he sees fit. The Tims would love us to just stick to football. That way they can run the country, the press, the education system, public transport etc. I'm not suggesting that saying FTP is a way to combat this but we need to stop doing what we're told. Obedient little boys never change anything.

Jack has been sent off already.

If the Dutch or Swedish female national sides fancy sending snapchats of their knickers, count me in. ? We're becoming the most sensitive, thin-skinned nation on Earth.

buster and Bearger. ?

I didn't realise you have to only agree with intelligent comments to be considered smart.

Where does Durrant say he thinks what he said is 'smart'?

Someone hasn't been to many RSC bashes. ?

Killie, Dundee and Livi have all beaten us in the last year.

Well said, Ian (Durrant and 1964).

A smile is all that's required. Poor performance today but good result. I'd have taken that before the match.

The Hearts fans behind me said we're cheating bastards and it's all down to the Glasgow Mafia. I though they were both definite penalties.

The Hearts fans in the pub I'm in aren't happy. ?

Well, this is predictably depressing.

I tried to get a ticket for today's match but wasn't successful. I'm quite glad. Football on these pitches is always crap.

I'm a bit nervous.

Rich bloke takes advantage of his status to (try to) pull women shocker! I said we shouldn't sign him again. The lad is a bozo and only performs for his own benefit. Oh well...

Teams in Scotland generally up their game to play us, so their matches against Dundee are largely irrelevant. We have been disappointing away from home - no doubt about it. That needs to change but until it does and while we lie sixth in the table, I'll refrain from being anything other than hopeful.

The narrator says, "Eight seasons since they witnessed European football...". Did he forget last season (I know we all want to but...?). We refer to ourselves as Glasgow Rangers in a couple of songs (syllable requirements) but it's usually only foreigners and QPR fans who refer to us as that in speech. We have two club crests and neither of them mentions Glasgow.

I just checked the league table and wish I hadn't. If we win tomorrow, we go joint fifth. We need to win tomorrow.

Given our recent form against teams from Luxembourg, we might be better off staying where we are.

I can always rely on you, Bill, to make clear my rather subtle implications. ?
