Gazza_8 233 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Jings! Rangers fans who travelled on a bus to watch the Ibrox side's league-winning match with Dundee United are suspected cases of swine flu, it has emerged. The Scottish Government said 11 fans who travelled on the bus were among 18 probable cases in Dunoon, Argyll. Six of the other cases are family contacts of the fans with one other classed as a work-related contact. There are currently 19 confirmed cases of swine flu in Scotland and 26 probable cases. The Scottish Government said that a branch of the Royal Bank of Scotland in Dunoon had closed on Monday as a precaution. The entire third year of Dunoon Grammar School is also being kept at home as a precaution. About 180 third-year pupils and nine teachers at the school have also been given tamiflu as a precaution. Speaking at a media briefing, Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon said the number of cases of swine flu was expected to increase over the next week. She said the government planned to set up a Flu Response Control Unit to deal with the increase. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza_8 233 Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Have to admit, if it happened to Celtic, we'd be laughing our heads off! If you do get a joke from a tim regarding this then just reply 'SPL and Scottish Cup Champions 08/09.' 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
