Family niceties out of the way, time to check the footy. Lets see what the BBC 'Scotland' site is leading with...
-perhaps a jolly festive greeting given what day it is
-or an Edinburgh derby preview as it's, well the Edinburgh derby and also the biggest game on midweek as 5th host 4th
-ah, but first Dundee play Celtic tomorrow so that should really lead
What have we got though...a fucking Rangers Int player promoting  Wednesday's 3rd v 8th game.

There is absolutely no justification for this. The c***s just don't care.

Celtic fans want their sevco news, the BBC plays ball...

Yet again Alex Rae is billed as “former Rangers midfielder” on the BBC live text for Dundee v Celtic. It was the same for the League Cup game earlier in the season.  

It just shows the BBC Scotland mindset, that everything has to relate to the ugly sisters in some way.

Ian McCall was on co-comms for Celtic v Partick Thistle. Rattled on about how Celtic will be going to Dubai in the winter break, how the warm weather training will benefit them, and that clubs like Thistle can't afford to go abroad and get the same benefit.

Partick Thistle are going to Spain during the winter break.

Good luck to them if they are, at least they'll be paying their local paper shop.

The Daily Record headline -

"Rangers defender Fabio Cardoso's reaction to nose break was OTT and he won't get an apology from me says Ryan Bowman"

The quote - 

"their reaction after that game is up to them. Cardoso was all over Instagram with his nose. It’s a physical sport, you’re going to get knocks. He’s a centre-half, he’s not going to go through the game and not get touched. I’ve not spoken to him. This would be the first time I’ll see him but I won’t seek him out before. I’ll treat it as a normal game."

The story is about Rangers signing someone, so it would be a bit weird if it was "Former Dundee striker thinks Rangers should sign X".

Yes of course. Former Rangers striker just saves valuable line space instead of 'former Rangers youth that managed one full 90 minutes amongst the handful of late substitute appearances he made in the fourth division for them before being deemed not good enough, kicked out and going on to make his name with other clubs at a higher level striker'.  Yes, that's exactly what it is.

Is the story about Rangers? Yes.

Did Hemmings play with this player for all of last season?  Yes.

Is Hemmings a former Rangers striker?  Yes (and contrary to your post he played a few times for them in the top flight too).

There is literally not a single person in the world better placed to ask about Roberts' chances at Rangers, nor is there a better way of describing him within this story.

Here's a, frankly bizarre, arse licking article that's been written by Ian Cathros best mate about his time at Hearts, where he pretty much blames Scottish football for his failure and projects an image of himself being a victimised footballing man who never stood a chance because nobody here accepts a manager who wasn't a player.
