IBROX STADIUM 15:30hrs Thursday 8th May 2008
Rangers financial guru and all round darned good chappie David Murray is today reported to be furious at the planned fans three-a-side football competition to be held in Castlefield, Manchester prior to the UEFA Cup Final on Wednesday 14th May 2008.
Murray has called the decision to hold such an event deplorable and is reported to have said that it made Manchester City Council the laughing stock of Europe, if not the World, for not allowing the Rangers faithful enough time to prepare for such an event.
He pointed to the fact that the Zenit St Petersburg fans will have had a weekend off to prepare for these vital encounters and has slammed the SPL for not applying more pressure on Manchester City Council to at least have the tournament extended to the following week to allow the fans time to recover from their hangovers and sacking the city……...
George Burley waded in to the debate and said that no other Scottish team would be treated so badly and Rangers fans are victims of their own success following the sacking of Barcelona and should be allowed at least an extra day's drinking time.
Gordon Smith said that Rangers fans have been treated unfairly and questioned why UEFA couldn't disqualify Zenit and switch the opposition to a Catholic team so that the Rangers fans would all know to try extra hard.
Walter Smith was sitting in a corner, in a jacket zipped up the back drooling, and mumbling something that sounded like "McCurry will make sure everyhin's awright"
more news as we receive it…!
