I looked through the different threads to see where the appropriate place to post this Herald article from Michael Grant might be, but couldn't find one.

 

So mods, feel free to move this elsewhere if you wish to.

Good article, made interesting reading.

Not a bad article.

Way back in 1989 Rangers signed Mo Johnston from Celtic - this was their first ever Roman Catholic signing. 

 

The BBC Outside Broadcast reporter was interviewing men coming out of Ibrox.  He stopped this tiny little wizened old man with a Rangers scarf round his neck.

 

"What do you think, sir, about Rangers signing Mo Johnston?" he asked.

 

"Well," said the wee wizened dwarfie fellow "It's a f**king traaaaagedy, so it is!"

 

I nearly fell off my seat!

Forgive me father, for I have signed...
