I can't see past Gordon Smith in his SFA role, suggesting that the Scottish Cup final be shifted to accommodate Rangers' European quest.

Utter, utter b*****d of a man.

Imagine wanting to help a Scottish club promote the Scottish game in a European cup final, what a kunt..

I couldn't agree more Bennett.  Riding roughshod over his own organisation's flagship competition, the biggest game in the entire history of a Scottish club, is truly despicable.

That's leaving aside, of course, the version of Scotland promoted by Rangers fans when they got to Manchester.

The Scottish Cup Final was ten days AFTER the UEFA Cup Final,  how would putting the game v Queen of the South BACK a week have helped Rangers chances against Zenit?

Are you genuinely as thick as pigshit?

Actually dont bother answering that second question.

Watch your blood pressure Mags, don't want you collapsing in a heap.

It would have eased the backlog, thus giving a Scottish c a better chance...

I wanted us to have the full Cup Final experience, which meant a Saturday.

To reduce it to a midweek fixture would have been a disgrace.  A spectacular display of contemptuous arrogance.

In fairness, the proposal came from an SFA figure rather than one attached at the time to Rangers.  Disgusting behaviour from a grotty individual.

At first I was like, "bins are quality".

But then I was like,"riot shields to the dish, not so quality"

Finally, I was like, "it's time to flap like a big lassie".

I quite like the fact that Neil Alexander's photo on wikipedia is his reaction after shipping the second goal v Zenit.

In the post match interviews on German tv, both Fernando Ricksen & Dick Advocaat were asked if they had any commiserations / sorrow for their former colleagues / club.

"Hell no, we're Zenit St. Petersburg guys nowadays, get it up them!"

Those EBT's just couldn't buy the class of player required.
The Old Club, we will remember them. #lestweforget

The comments section on the Manchester Evening News was a hoot. I recall the quote from one local resident who opened his curtains the morning after the game only to discover a Rangers fan "taking a crap" on his front lawn.

Was that the game where Rangers got absolutely bodied on and off the park?
