Zappa 0 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Friday, 21 March 2014 16:00 Glebe Is A Special Place Written by Andrew Dickson ALLY McCOIST says Rangers are heading to a ‘special place’ on league business this weekend and expressed his gratitude to Brechin City for their friendship. The Light Blues will come up against Ray McKinnon’s side in their final meeting of the season before promotion to the Championship. Each of the three meetings between the teams this term have been close, with the Angus team scoring but losing on every occasion. McCoist feels the clashes have been about more than just football, however, thanks to the encouragement Gers have received from the Hedgemen in recent times. Of course, their Glebe Park home is where the Ibrox outfit played its first game after being voted out of the SPL following the move to a new company. That match came in the Ramsdens Cup and it was the very first step on a journey back to Scottish football’s elite which is now in full flow. McCoist said: “On Sunday we’re going back up to see Ray and the lads and Glebe Park is effectively where it all started for us after administration. “We played our first game since that in the Ramsdens Cup a couple of years ago and it is a special place. “It will be a special place for Rangers now as well. Ken Ferguson and everyone who runs the club up there is fantastic. “As I go on in my life, I’ll always look back with great fondness to Glebe Park and Brechin because it was where our journey back began after the disaster of administration. “I’ll always remember the welcome we got from everybody up there and that hasn’t changed. Ken is running a great club up there. “He very kindly sent us a message of thanks and congratulations on our league win and Brechin is a good friend of our football club from a time when we needed friends.” McCoist is hoping for a more straightforward match than his men got when they last went to Brechin five months ago. Back then they trailed 2-0 after just 10 minutes and 3-1 at the break before digging deep and coming back to sneak a 4-3 win. McCoist added: “With respect to Brechin, they looked like they were going to score with every attack in the first half never mind anything else. “We came in 3-1 down at half-time but thankfully we had a terrific reaction from the players and managed to score three goals and win. “There were many periods in the first half where it didn’t like we were going to get any points – never mind one point – and we were thankful to win. “As we saw from our last trip there, they fight as soon as the first whistle goes and that was an incredible game. “It’ll be the same this weekend as well. They’ll want to get three points and bring our undefeated run at the moment to an end.” http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/6587-glebe-is-a-special-place 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Quality remarks there from Super, not every club hates us. Mostly the poison is in the SPFL top echelons. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
