Mr Heliums Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 What contribution did he make to Scottish football? That's the criteria isn't it? I get that he played well for Rangers (aside from a shambolic and trophyless final season), but with his sectarianism and his violent conduct on and off the pitch, shouldn't Scottish football be trying to forget what an utter embarrassment he was? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Was it not a "public vote" that put him forward? Mass hysteria amongst Rangers fans probably forced his name in, and the "expert" who passes final judgement is likely a moron. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snifter Pee Rot Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Sevco need to win on Sunday, a defeat and we can state they are pish whatever duff Austrian sides they beat. On Gascoigne, never a fan of the guy but he was good for Scottish football. A transfer like that would never happen now, even with the baggage of his antics and dodgy knees. Those were the days Bank of Scotland were writing Murray blank cheques and gave him 50m to underwrite a failed share issue a few years after Gascoigne departed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs were liquidated and are a new club. Ok, words of one syllable. Edinburgh Hibernian plc (latterly Forth Investments plc) went into receivership (insolvency) in 1991 because as well as owning Hibernian FC Ltd, it also owned those "trendy wine bars" that were in bother. Tom Farmer then used that crisis to separate out Hibernian FC Ltd from Edinburgh Hibernian plc, as he bought Hibernian FC Ltd from the receiver of Edinburgh Hibernian plc. Pattulo doesn't really understand what actually happened, and Farmer is describing how he gave the small shareholders "new shares" in the new company for nowt. But, feel free to investigate further. You will find the paragraph above to be 100% accurate 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
