My name is Karl Madoff and I'm delighted to be your host again this evening as we bring you another episode of 10 questions. This is where we get a different guest on every episode to answer the same 10 questions on their time for win rangers. Very, very excited for tonight. We've got a well-founded rangers super fan established portal for the Rangers rabble and all-round good guy, Wolf Marshall. Wolf, how are you? Cola, I don't deserve any of that, but yeah, I'm fine with it. Thanks very much. Ah, you're taking it anyway, I'm sure. Of course I'll have some, I don't take any problems that I'm going, but yeah, yeah, I don't, I'm not even sure how I fell into the rabble, but I think Mark and just remember, I didn't even know Mark and then he basically just went and he went, "You fancy doing this?" and they're just like, "Go on there." And it's just good alarms and legs and it's, it's great. I know that's not why we're here, but I mean, it's great to see so many Rangers podcasts all doing really well, you know. Like I said, it's a rabble yourself, obviously they're heart and hand, they've got the monopoly on the, on a lot of this stuff, but you know, even, I mean, they, they, they reach out, they help yourselves, they help us, they help all the other guys, you know what I mean? It's, it's great. It's what the Rangers family's all about, and it's, it's brilliant that there's, to me, there's plenty of room for the mall, you know, you get guys, "Oh, that's when I'm at one." And, you know, I said, "There's plenty of room for the mall one." I just think it's, I just think it's, I can listen to people talking to the Rangers all day, every day, which is why I'm here. Don't we and we've, I've been working after being very long. I work at the times and nowadays, we aren't, and if I just, yourself, and, and still come on as well, and I know where we're open, quite well, we've figured out what we need to do all the time. It's, and it's been to other points as well. It's nice, it's no view if you're in a competition, because there's a very niche market, but it's very much, I do, right? A lot of us don't view us, each other's competitors, it's very okay. We are the alternative to the media, let's support each other, and there's that family feeling that support, feeling along support gas, which is, which is great because it's a, it's a, it's a hobby at the end of the day, you know, I mean, it's a way better love. Well, let's be honest, go on, there's enough people here as we're there, it was hitting each other, you know what I mean? Spot on, my man, spot on. But, obviously, well, no hearing, I've got a pen there, it's on the fan media, we have, and that's hopefully, you know, hopefully we do that enough. I hear you talk through your time following Rangers, so before we get any of these killer 10 questions and we've put you on the, on the hot scene, get you sweating, tell us a wee bit about yourself, about how you've came forward, Rangers, and I heard it all start wealth. I'm, I'm a firm believer that, of, in the old train that Rangers, Rangers fans are, I am, and created, you know, we're born to be Rangers fans, we're not, we're not created, and I'm a firm believer in that. I mean, my, I don't come from a football, a football following family directly, my, my father's not a football fan, he tries to pretend these days that he is, but he really isn't. And when I was growing up, my football love came from my, my maternal grandfather, my mom's dad, who unfortunately passed away when I was 13. So I never really got a chance to talk to him through both. He was, he's actually just retired, did he tell? He was at my aunt, he's wearing 150, retired the next Friday, we buried him in the 3D after that. That was just a ridiculous couple of weeks. So that was my, that's, he's originally from Glasgow. I'm a, I'm from football, he's originally at my highlands. And I think that my grandfather went up there to do military training during the war, met my granny all that sort of stuff. And Rangers were always this team. I mean, he was old school. He was a, I got them, I got them on the train's old British Rail, on British Rail, I think. And obviously went, went the workshop tie jacket. And if you're sitting in the house at the shop tie and jacket, but it was always a ranger's tie, the only thing he didn't have a ranger's tie almost when he was going to work, because he had to have his, obviously his, his union tie on the weather. He always said the ranger's scarf sitting beside the table. I have, I've been no recollection of my grandfather ever going again, because back, I mean, I'm going back to the kind of mid-70s, traveling about wasn't as easy as it is now, you know, particularly from, I mean, four away, my Glasgow was a fair lot. It's only 100 me, but there's a fair track through Glencoe on the road to go out and get great and cars around, great and all that stuff. But no, I, I get it entirely from my grandfather. And as I say, I just, I just believe that we were, that we were born and not created. And that's just, just the way it is. It's, I mean, switch off in the next phase of settings, Westerners this year, no, a big fan of football and clichés, but I do feel the buy-in and also unbiased. I do feel the buy-in to, as more than a club. I mean, very sales and DSP days someday, and it's just, oh, I like, the color of oil source support ranges, it is just that deep light in route, that connection, where to be family, where to be your upbringing. And I don't think I may start that more special. Personally, the club we've got, I mean, you were just talking beforehand about we're both of these type of odds here on people who's different stories about our time following rangers. And I can buy that, I love hearing the different generations. And I know you didn't get chances to be a grandfather too much, but I bet you would have heard some great stories about following rangers or just the teams that are here with all of them for, I know probably back in the day in the, in the 1560s, it may have been through the old transistor they deal, but that's, I would have been a great year to hear about. Yeah, that's one of my, one of my biggest regrets is that he did pass away when I was so young, because I didn't really get the chance to talk from too much of football, you know, because that was again, again, not the one that got through, it seemed like an old rangers now, but back in the day, you only got your news from, you know, national newspapers. She didn't get, there wasn't 24 hours sports news that you get, you get these days. So there wasn't the same desire to ask questions about stuff. You know, I was, I was too young to be diving in the range of history boots and all that sort of stuff, I soon made up for that. But you know, so I didn't really have the inclination to ask him too much about his time as an unjust fan, I just knew that he was, and it's what he did. And I know he used to go to games because my, my dad although he wasn't a football fan, he drove and my granddad didn't. So for my dad and my mum got together, my dad would sometimes drive them down, you know, the football, my mum would go as well. I'd actually got my mum's old scarf and myself. And she was, she wasn't a football fan, she just went because her dad went, you know, and my dad always told us a story that the wet dive looks was, as day in the, it was to be in the mid 60s. And when they came out after the game, they didn't have a clue how to go out, but they just followed somebody at the car park because people were making a beeline for their car because they had a green helmet imp. My dad didn't even think he had to know it, and then he realised that, no, I really shouldn't, I really shouldn't have put that in the car park and he likes it. And that's how I know for, I know for a fact that he did, he did go to the games back in the day, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's one of my biggest life in the great sense that my grandfather died, just when I was so young that I couldn't really speak them about it, but that's life I guess. But it's really no capture, you know, enthusiasm for foreign angels. Obviously, you travel in the end and far, the foreign angels, oh man, the way, and even the women's team in the odd B-team game as well, I gotta, hi. Yeah, um, I, do we have these three people, I'm, I'm a addicted ranger, so my drug, I'm a, I'm a addicted to rangers, um, and I make no, no secret, I mean, now I'd go and watch rangers opening an envelope if I could, you know, that's the way I'd describe it. I mean, I go to, I go to as many rangers, games as I can, obviously, I go to all the first-team games, more or less. Recently, I've been going to quite a lot of the women's games and I do go to as many B-team games as I can, but obviously, I live and I've been, so it's not particularly easy or cost effective for me to get to as many of these other games as I like to, because obviously first-team games have usually got people coming with me and it's puts the cost to all that sort of stuff. B-team and women's games, not so much, my daughter quite often, but she's a state's two coats of paint, so, you know, a dad's paint for that, which is the way it should be, um, but yeah, I mean, I'll go, I'll go see any rangers team doing anything if I can, just the whole, the whole club, just, I just love rangers, it's just, I mean, that's why one of your questions that we're going to get that has been, it's very difficult for me and I still haven't got an answer and we'll be talking about it shortly. Well, without further ado, let's get into question number one, then we'll, um, how's that, how's that for a segue? I think I've done this before. Yeah, you know, it's, um, I maybe got a tower now, that's all broadcasting, um, so question number one, it's open to your interpretation of the question, what is your favourite rangers goal? Right, okay, now obviously I've been watching rangers on a regular basis for the best part of the year, probably over 40 years, so there's an awful lot of goals. And if you ask me again in 10 minutes, it'll be a different goal, but I've decided to go for a very, very recent goal, right, a goal from it towards the end of the last season, and it was John Liston's winner in the Europa League semi-final against Leipzig at Ibus, right? And the only reason that that's my favourite rangers goal at the moment is that's the goal that allowed me to take two major boxes in my half to do before I die west, and that was taken by the daughter of the European away game, and to take the European thing. Well, and, um, that's, I, I got a response when you said that, they'd catch me after all that you've gotten some sort of reason that I was actually thinking, right, so for the, for the listeners' benefit, I'd never ask to hear, um, what your answers are, I'd like to be caught off guard, um, I didn't think you'd be some so recent, but I can totally understand why, um, you didn't have to explain why, but you should have said, John Ronson's role against Leipzig, and it would be an okay for others, but the fact that you've got to be brought in to say the technology bucket list is even better, so talk is true, that I need for you, well, well, my, my daughter, there me, she's, she's 20 now, she was, she's 20 then, she was, she, she, she, she, she's 19 then, she just turned 19, she was, unfortunately, just game, as an eight, an eight month old babe and arms, that was down to me, that was down to me and my obsession, it was either take it to the game, or I wasn't getting to the game, so I took it to the game, um, I'd get three daughters, or two, two older than half, they've, they used to come up with football women, they've got no interest in it at all, and that's fine, I'm okay with that, I'm okay with that, they're no interest in the game at all, so that's fine, that's the way it has, uh, Demi's like me, she's, she'll go to every game that she can, obviously, she doesn't get to them all, because she's a student, she's got to work on all that sort of stuff, um, and I wanted to get her to Europe, but it was never taking her out of school to go through one, so that was, that precluded that, she started, she's at university in Dundee now, and the way, the way the draws have been, you know, with, with, with COVID kicking in about the time she was over eight, all of an age to go to European other games only, couldn't go again, because nobody could go, because COVID was there, none of it could go, and then obviously, coming out of that, tickets were short, I'd love to take that at the tournament, but there was a 10,000 just to take it on the capacity, so there was very few tickets, I was lucky to get one, couldn't take that, so, wasn't, wasn't taking it to be able to read, because it's be able to read, couldn't take it there, couldn't take it there, he gave my life like again, because of the ticket thing, no, I'm not, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna get her a ticket, and then I somebody that's been following me, just a lot longer than her, you know, the pleasure of that, so, I knew that at some point in my life, soon, I was going to be taking it to a European match, and I was lucky enough to be a Manchester, at the game in Manchester 2008, and I never thought I'd see Rangers in a European final, so, I don't know if you'll ever want to get back to when I'd like to think we're well, but I was bloody sure that she was getting to this one, because, I mean, I still get sick for not being off my mates, for not being in Barcelona, I was four, and as I said, my parents were in football fine, so there was never any option of it anyway, but, you know, there's no way as an 18-year-old, Rangers fanatic, and she is a fanatic, that she wasn't getting to that final if we got to that final, so the fact that Joe Winston scored that goal that put us there, that's why, at the moment, that's my favourite all-time name, just go. I mean, the day itself, we'd drove them from Abu Dhabi in Calgary, obviously, she was a woman, and it was just, to have her beside me for recall, if I was a European final, it was a little bit cried, he had just talked about it, you know, it's just, it's a memory I'll never, I'll forget the look of her face when she realised that we'd got to the final, because she knew I'd already booked her flights, so she and you, she was going, because I took her point on, on the Monday before the second leg, I took her point on the cheapest flights I could find, which was on all around the house's job, in, but, in, but I'm, in, but I'm our same, I say, my leg, I can't hide as all that stuff, but she knew that we got to the final, she was going, and I also knew that she'd enough my jazz points, that she'd be at the game, that she'd get a ticket, and just to look at her face, that she had joy, and I thought, I've got this painted right, I've got this right, she knows what it's about, she loves this club the same as I do, and they look like all, I couldn't have done that. Amazing, and, you know, I'm, I've got a fire on my bear, which is fine about it as well, you're talking about emotional, and it was such an emotional challenge, as well, obviously, we, you know, Jimmy Bear was just passing away, and, and I, I'm the same as you, I, I was, maybe on way, like 14, when we wrote in Manchester, I was actually enough to be there, but I generally thought, I'll see the rest of my days, with the angels being Menar, and another European final, but there we were, and I went and they were playing next day, where I felt like I'd been drinking for about nine days, and I didn't even have a drop out goal the day before, and it was just their motion was drained, and it was, what a night, then, it wasn't a bad goal, it wasn't a bad taking goal as well. No, it wasn't, but especially from, from Demi's point of view, especially because she, her formative years, I mean, she'd been, she'd been in every getting in Scotland before she was 14, because I, I took her everywhere, during the, you know, during the, the banter years, as they call it, during the bad times, and so she'd been here, I mean, she'd been, she'd been up, she'd been up on trains at half five in the morning, going to bear it for lunchtime kickoffs, and, you know, going up to, going up to the Wales at Elgin, when it's, when it's blowing gales and hallowkins, and all that sort of stuff, you know, and it's, she, she went through, she went through all the, all the nonsense that Arin just finds she'd never, I had to go through, she'd been through all that, didn't complain, didn't complain about it, because that's what she wanted to do. So to be able to complete her journey, be getting off that European final, it's just something that, I never, I never dreamed of being able to do, you know, and that's, that's it. I, it's amazing name, just probably before, before running that question, it's a really good point, you've made that well, and, you know, we, you're probably speaking about it in the rabble as well, in most parts, but we've grown, I think you're a younger sport around, he's, he's early 20s, and he speaks quite often about, he, he didn't have had on with the bird, he didn't have a blind world up, he, he had, he had the, he had the didn't use, and, and it's getting to that final, which is so significant for many, many, many different ways, but I think it's, it was given that younger generation, something that they were massively deprived of, and that was, that Arin just team competing in the wild stage. Yeah, I mean, I mean that, that, that, that generation, if you like the sort of, the, the late teens, early 20s, that have followed Rangers from, you know, their younger years, they deserve that, they deserve, so after going through, you know, the trials and tribulations are going, going down and, and going to Alawa and having to go, you know, bear like an organ and Peterhead and all these sorts of places, you know, and even if it went good than the, I mean, I can't imagine where it must have been like for the, for these, these kids, I'll just call them kids, for these kids being in the playground, you know, particularly not so much for Demi, because she's up, she, she, she's educated, looks like Peterhead, so most of her parts were added in fans and all that sort of stuff, and she's again also, she's not going to get the same grief, but for boys at her age, particularly boys living in the central mill, where the schools mix the Celtic fans in the others, you know, there's mother alone as well, and they're giving them what your team of rubbish is doing in that division, that must have been hell on earth for them, so for them, you know, to be able to witness ranges in a European final, whether they got to Seville, got to the game, just watch them tell you the very fact that our club got there, that's, that's just them paying back, or the, or the grief and the abuse that they got in the form of years. Well, I don't have very many people who can argue with your, your choice for the goal of both and Jollies is behind it, and it's there for Godess, let's say I take questions off that fire, mate, keep me fucking goosebumps, and... So don't help them here. Well, well, I hope not, because, you know, you've said your, your well-traveled up in the, the jungle that is an awful Scotland, so question number two, where's the strangest place you've ever watched a Rangers game? I struggle, I struggle with this because I'm generally speaking, I go to all the games, so it's quite difficult. I mean, I don't want to call a football grounder strange place, because I have watched Rangers in some very, very strange venues. So the one I got to was in August 2013, so it was a pre-season friendly, Rangers played Newcastle at Idrocks, and it was a week before the season started, and a very good friend of mine who lives down in, in Newbury in Berkshire. He's originally from Edinburgh, big Rangers fan, season ticket holder, good parliament, he was getting married, and he had a stag weekend in Amsterdam, and he purposely had it the weekend before the season started, so that I could go, because he knew if he had it during the season, I wasn't going. And he just didn't even ask the question, he just knew I wouldn't go. So he had it in Amsterdam, and we all booked up, and then Rangers announced a pre-season game at Idrocks, that weekend, when you cancelled, from like, okay, well, we're going, we're going to Amsterdam, so we throw Amsterdam on the side of the morning, looking for a, looking for a, something to watch it, and we ended up on the Danlack in a pub called Hooters. So I'm sure you're aware of what kind of pub it was, isn't it? Yes, right, so that's probably the strangest place I've watched Rangers, it's in Hooters in Amsterdam, just because of the type of pub that Hooters is, because watching football when a pub is not unusual, but I mean, I remember that, obviously there was, like, a dozen of us in there, and the girls do that, you know, they do that, they do the show on the bar, and all sorts of stuff, they're dancing and all that, and at half time, they try to get to the test, we're like, look girls, what do they call the 'thoodles' on, you combine to see us at full time, you know, and so I think that's probably, it's not particularly a strange place, but I think that's probably the strangest place out with some very, very remote, weird football games I've watched, doesn't it? I think it's interesting, I bet it is actually, as we've seen in much of the game, so fair does! So all again! Great, right, easiest chefs they've asked if they've ever had, well done, absolutely. So on the subject of near and far then, and they were for Rangers, question number three, what's your best ever, how are we doing, or are we doing the Angels? Right, this one was really, this, this caused me a few problems, because it's, how'd you, how'd you quantify best, you know, I mean, what's what's the best, I mean, if it's best for the result, it's the only two, then 2007, one in three, nothing, that was just incredible, incredible. But what I've gone for, I've gone back, unbelievably, nearly 20 years ago, and it was in Portugal, and it was Porto, one, Rangers, one, one, Ross McElmock, equalized with seven minutes to go, after Los Andro had given them the lead after an hour. Just the whole trip, I mean, the, the Porto, the anybody that was here, the Porto, this Porto trips legendary, because there's a, there's an old, there's an old square in Porto, I think it's Roberta, they call that, I think this old square, so they're never, and basically for the two and a half days, we were in Porto, we were in that square, other than being out the football, because we jumped, well, I did the airport, jumped in a taxi to the hotel, and the taxi driver said, Rangers, Roberta, old square, so we put the bags in the hotel, come out the hotel, jumped in another taxi, take us to the square, and you couldn't see it for Rangers fans, you just couldn't see it for people. And there was, there was flags and banners hanging up, hanging up off all the buildings, there was even you've probably seen the photo, the, the Brothers in Blue from Shawlands, an enormous union flag, and it was hanging off a building, hanging off somebody's balcony, that was in that square in Porto, because apparently they went up three or four floors up, knocked on somebody's door, and went, can we put this out in your balcony? And they didn't realize how big it was, and it was like a solar eclipse in the flats below, because you just covered all the windows, I think it was massive, and basically everybody was in that square for a couple of days, other than they obviously went to the game, to me that was just, it's just a legend to the tip that everybody owes to members, and it's also the last Rangers took my ditch when I didn't actually go and see any of the city, because I see we stayed in that square almost the entire time other than going to the game and going to the airport, and the following year, my girlfriend who's a heart supporter, she stayed in Porto for two nights for a neighbor playing in Braga, and she came back, when I was in Porto, I did this, I saw this, I saw that, and I went, now I saw a square, and that was it. I mean, in this square, it was taking you half an hour to even cross the square, and that wasn't that big a square, just because there were so many people, and you knew so many people, it was just an incredible trip. What is it about Rangers fans are being in Europe where, I don't know, in a good way, we just take over, we just find a patch of land and to stand up there for days, and I don't know, there must be other teams to do this, but it's amazing, it always shocks me how people will just, hey, how people can get all the time off work, and be how many people we get going over for the two, three days, it's amazing. Yeah, well, that seemed quick, believe it or not, both the wanderers were in Europe, and they were playing Vittoria Gurmaris, the following meeting, they were doing the UEFA Cup at the time, so they were all staying in Porto, and a lot of them came to the game, because it's come about an hour and a half for the game, the Portuguese started selling tickets to Bratz, who didn't have tickets, because they said they weren't going there, but they didn't sell out, so they started selling tickets to anybody that walked out and wanted them, and the Rangers then became bigger and bigger, because they all looked at them, was pushing the whole fans away, so they could keep us out together, and loads of these Bolton fans went to the game, and we were talking to him in the square, and this is the only way we can't believe he's travelled so many numbers, and this and that, and the thing I remember, there was one incident, there was always isolated incidents, there was one incident, it was about midnight, and the Bolton fan turned up myself to the top one, where you can imagine what happened after that. Now, he's always looking for trouble, because you don't go a year up towards Bolton, and take himself to the top, you just don't do that, you know what I mean? So, but apart from that, it was fantastic, and he couldn't believe how many Rangers fans were in this, I mean, over the years, Porto's done really well with us, because even recently, we drew Porto, then we drew Braga, and loads of the guys that went to Porto, went back to Porto for the Braga game, and our supporters done really well with us over the last kind of few years, but that's probably one of the, one of my most memorable tips for Rangers, is because of it, that's the amount of people in that screen, just the iconic photos of all the flags hanging off of people's batteries and stuff. And it doesn't do any harm when you get a decent result, as well, I mean, a job at a poor time, who, well, year before, they'd won the Champions Week, and we are up and up where I go, I ask McCormick, equaliser, it was also, that goal also, it was the second last group game, and I also guaranteed being Europe after Christmas. We didn't know what would be, and whether it would be, it's still being the Champions League, or whether it would drop in the UEFA Cup, but we knew the wasp over here, it was something, the grip, where a game to go, and that was incredible, that was even, that really even was special, it was just, I can still remember, we come out the ground, and you walk out of the ground, that Porto, and you can straight down, into the end, the end, the end of the stage is right, at the bottom of the stairs from Stadia, the underground train back towards the square, and that place was absolutely jumping, because we knew that we were still on Europe after Christmas, which was unheard of back then. Amazing, amazing, I know we were taking for granted, but we didn't get a heavy year, nor building up till we back on, I was only lucky enough to watch out in the daily, because my people didn't pay me well enough to get me going, you put to the wall I'm afraid, but we'll make up for that. So on attending the weird and wonderful games question, number four, wealth is what's the funniest thing you've ever seen in a range of games, and this must have been, here we are short-wist wearing them in the games that you've been there over the years. I actually couldn't think of anything, believe it or not. Yeah, that takes me on the fat boy, you're chewing out everything else, is that what it is? I've got something, right? But before I tell you my funniest thing in a range of games, right, I want to tell you the funniest thing I've ever seen in a fruitboard match, that I was in attendance at, right? As I say, my girlfriend has a house fan and I do occasionally go and watch hearts with her, it's very occasionally, but I do, and I was at a house in Berlin game with her, I don't know, 10 years ago, right, in Houston, Melbourne Park, right? And you know that's great, that's great, it's great small to stand behind to go, it's great small. So we are sitting in my three or four rows from the back and hearts are warming up. Doing what they do, the balls are going high wide and not very handsome, you've got to watch yourself, you know, I mean there's balls flying everywhere, and there was that, it turned out it was a father and his 15-year-old son walking along the front to go to their seat, and I'm sure it was, I'm sure it was a boy steaming in the heart, hit the shot towards the go, just during the warm-up, and it was still on the rise, and it was flew by the side of the post, and it hit the young lad, square on the side of the face, knocked his glasses off, knocked the boy out, completely wiped him out. So they took him away and they patched him up, and 20 minutes into the game, the boy appeared, half his face was bandaged, I don't know why they only banned his half his face, they banned his half his face, but the funny thing for me is him and his dad sat in the seat that ticket was for, in the front row, after getting a ball off the cupid, you know what I mean, just, that's the funniest thing I've ever seen in a football match, anywhere ever, but the funniest thing I've ever seen in a race, the funniest thing I've ever seen in a Rangers game was at Iberox in September 2004, and anybody that was there at the time will remember it, we had half time, I can't even remember who were playing that day, but there was half time I was teaming, no, no, no, no, no, no, I remember that, that was, that was during the second half of my game against one of the Israeli teams, no, no, that was so funny, no, no, this is, this is funnier than him, half time entertainment was a one of these football, keep you up, you expert, you know the guys who keep the ball up, Mr Wu, Mr Wu, Mr Wu, and Mr, Mr Wu for the entire, the entire half time juggled the ball down the park, he started off at the tunnel, he went to the brim when he went right the way around, then he was keeping this ball up and everyone was like this guy, this guy's fabulous, and just before the teams came out, he was a yard from the goal, he was a yard from the goal, he went in front of the goal at Copeland Road, and he put the ball in the top to you, he finished it off, the way he finished it off, he scored, he blew in this thing completely over the bar, and we're in the top to you this time, this is the funniest thing I've ever seen, because he was, everyone was like, look at that, he's brought away this guy, he's fantastic, can't score for my yard. And the police had opted, they weren't even done that, I remember. Yeah, dead, dead, right, dead, right, funniest thing I've ever seen at football. I remember that, I was in a brimwind, but I remember I didn't get it, I'm fucking show off, but I enjoyed that myself, that's the way it was, I know that they all get all in some way 14, 15 year old fan, he'd run the way him as well, and the boy came to the day, three kp ups, and I knew I was something kept on, I don't know if it's changed very well. Yeah, they had guys who had one quite a lot, but I always remember Mr. Woo, because he met, because he missed from the yard, and he didn't just miss, I mean the thing, the thing he alluded up was just looking at that, you had to fight over the bar. I probably could have got out and came for Rangers at a time, because I finally, Jeff was with me, I always had been much better, so he probably would have done no bad on the bench. But on the subjects I've wails in, the next cut up wails are the opposite ends, the spectrum when it comes to your thoughts in some Rangers, so the first one, can you tell us a bit about a player who you didn't rate, but everybody else seemed to love? This is the one I've not got an answer for, there's nobody, because I'm that blinker to the Rangers, I give them all a chance, I don't criticize it, I criticize them and they don't play well, but there's none, I really, out with the obvious lower league years, because nobody rated the players in the low leagues, I mean there's guys there, I really didn't like, they shouldn't have been at Rangers, but everybody thought the same, so it's not as if I'm isolated than one, I honestly go on, I can't think of anybody that people thought, "This guy's all I want, and I don't like him." I don't want to not answer one of your questions, but I just can't think of anybody. - Are they, are they kind of getting that? Well, because there was no lie, I'm painfully gross, I feel, and even, I think it was the last product it turned on to you, because I said, "Well, it's no, maybe naivety, it might just be doing the blink or whatever it is, but if your players might as well, then it means Rangers are more likely to do well, so I do, I do get where you're coming for, I suppose that has been just, I can't hold that actually by any part." No, I do admire your, your eternal optimism, I suppose it's a level up for me. - That's just, I just, there's nobody that I can, that I can honestly have their hearts say, "I really didn't like him." You know, when you came here, then everybody else thought, "Great, they're nice players that, that my role for, I mean, like for example, I didn't really take the ill-hized Jeff, but a lot of people I know didn't like the ill-hized Jeff, so it's not like everybody else liked him and I didn't. I mean, I still thought he could do his job, I didn't particularly like him as a person, but I thought he could still do his job, so the way I interpret that question, that's not really, not really the answer for it, so there's been a few players like that, but there's nobody that I've thought Matt Carlos, and everybody else has thought no, he's not. There's lots of players that I've thought he'll do as a job, and everybody else has read Carlos, and there's loads of them, loads and loads of them. - More often than not, everybody else has read, if your prediction is all he means. - Well, on the next one, mate, I will give you the chance to present the SaaSaa Pappach award, and your chance to name your Rangers on Song Hero, named after Mr. Seven and a Ten himself, but you can expect Pappach for this award. Who do you present it to, and why? - Okay, I present it to the same person that David Edgar presented it to, and not because he presented it, but certainly my role for me is, I always like to be sending them from Alabama for, I think, 20 grand or something, 30 grand or something back in 1984, and he stayed with us until 1991, he won, I thought it was on the four leagues and four or five league cups, never won a scotch cup, which was unfortunate for him, but he won everything else. As soon as he came in, 86, and always signed players to try and get rid of him, he's saying guys like Jan Barthon came in, his life back and all that. When we were still there, when we saw them all off, and I think he only left the 91, when we were saying David Robertson, because I've seen that, I've seen that, an interview with him, he just paid nearly a million point on the left back, he was playing, that's the only reason he left, and I mean, we're saying them for, we're saying them for relative buttons even back then, and the loads of people that thought that he's nothing, he's not, that's one of them when a lot of people thought, right, he's not very good, I just thought a great, great stadium player, never, very much a lot of sense of pride for each, you know, for me, never, never man another much, never, never ain't nine out of ten, but he was never two or three out of ten, he was always a steady six or so, always, every single game. So, Stuart, Stuart Monroe for me. It sounds like Stuart Monroe was quite similar to Sasse Pappach's first season on the water, if you like, where, even at the time, and again, I'm just going in here, because I'm pretty sure they, I think you may be in engineering, or David Robertson, there's four quite high-risk Stuart Monroe as well, where, they said at the time he never got the products, and Pappach's down there as well, and I think it's one of these once time has been kindle, and you realise, no, they don't actually do it, is that fair to say? Yeah, I think so, I mean, I love them at the time, I mean, again, back then, you didn't see footies of every single game, quite a lot of their games were starting to be televised then, but certainly towards end of Monroe's time at Rangers, but when he came in, in '84, all you got was a lot about highlights and sports in the Scotsport, and they only showed the highlights over the main game, you know, you didn't see them all the time, so you didn't really, you can't, it's definitely been actually going to the games, it was difficult to see what these players were like, but Stuart Monroe was always very, very steady, and I think, when I think about Pappach, you're starting to get like that, now people remember him as a very steady Eddie, and Stuart Monroe was out all the time, for me, has that 100%, I mean, I've watched hundreds of players that are better football players than Stuart Monroe, but they're up and down their good games and bad games. Stuart Monroe, for me, is always just very, very steady, so he's the unsung hero for me. Jankie, could I say don't I be a bit longer at Rangers? Jankie was right for him to go at that time. I think it was right for him to go, because his theory was 100% right, if we were spending nearly a million pounds on our left back, that left back is going to play, and let's be honest, David, I want to say great play. It's hard to, I mean, he's in the conversation in the best way of back here in the last 30-year-old years, and David Roberson, he's, ah, he would have been very hard to push him out, first year of Monroe, but, no, it's a great pick as well, and it's only some day, I've really started to hear more about it, as we do these boards as well, because, again, it's been to my oldest uncle, he was always up and trying to shoot Monroe as well, but, again, it's no something you see in the Wikipedia, highlights are in the, in the history books too often, but not so a choice, I admit. So, really, take it in a wee notice there, mate, as we get into question number seven, again, this is up to your own interpretation. What's your biggest Rangers regret? Again, go back to school, at the moment, just because. This Back to School season, you can count on Whole Foods Market to do the ingredient homework for you.

Come on, look, we won the league in 2011. She was with me. Wouldn't be won the league. Two years ago, a lot was COVID. We were stuck together at the time of win the league. And, yeah, for me, that's probably my biggest at the moment, my big selling, my biggest regret. From, I really just put a view, it's not worth the net trophy. Manchester as well, it's really great. We didn't wear it, because I loved it. Just to see things, just as the European trophy. But, yeah, for me, again, I'll go first of all, just because Demi was with me. And I don't know about yourself, but it's hard. It's hard to compare in finals, because both equally is important. But, for me, Seville, also, as recently, as well, has dropped out a bit more lower, but Manchester, there was no effort, but Rangers were evidently punching above the weight through the last days of that competition. I ain't just fair to say where there's Seville. I think it was there for the taking. And, I think, any team that was using penalties, or wins in penalties, it's a fine, it's a fine margin. And, I think I may start that harder for me over Manchester, where we were just already beaten by the better team. And, you know, but Seville, it's not that, it's just the water finish. Very, very fine margins. Yeah, I mean, Manchester. I mean, I mean, I mean, you haven't turned a lot, because Manchester, I mean, it's Rangers were playing Morgani when, I mean, Rangers could be playing Brazil, when I beat up Mr. Birmingham. That's just who blinker I am. But, I mean, you're playing there at St. Petersburg, they're a very, very good side. You know, honestly, we were, we had drove the locker back to get to that final. And, if we were going to win it, it was only going to be going to be them for the reason, and the atmosphere of basically the native or so, the Caribbean Rangers fans. Really, they got us all going to line that in Manchester. Whereas in Seville, I think I'm not saying we went into it as favourites, but we certainly we haven't very far behind. I mean, we're beating beat and beat of German teams. We're trying to come in for the get there. And, yeah, it's just a huge disappointment that we didn't see over the line. I mean, given the sort of team we had to put out, if we had a striker, we don't want it. You know, I mean, without any question, but that's us and butts. Then, I argue in Manchester, if we put Novo on earlier than we did with the one that as well. So, it's all us and butts, you know what I mean? But Manchester, one of the one that I've been saying this as they thought. Daniel Cruzan is the one that frustrated me with Manchester. If he doesn't need us, we'll get himself sent off in Poland. So, thanks for that fun game. But for on on Seville, I'll be interested in how how does your daughter see? Or is all that element already? Or is it still the high of the high of seeing Rangers in the European final? I sort of explained to her before she went, that look European. I told her after loads of my European trips, you know. The trip is one thing of the game, something else. You're going to the place because of the football, but you've got to package them differently. She still says the trip was fantastic, the football not so much, you know. But I mean, having said it's a regret, I'll always have that 14 minutes when we were in the lead. You know, oh, I'll always have that. And she'll always have that. She still talks a bit like, you know. And hopefully we'll both see it again. You know, if I don't see it again, hopefully she does. You know, I mean, depending on how long it takes us to do it. But yeah, and then I know it's just a great demi-centric, but yeah, that was, I think, I've been going to get it for me because we didn't, we didn't lift up. Oh, and again, back to that point. We said that the beginning is like, following Rangers has more than just like putting on your favourite colour. It's like, it becomes your favourite that you're being, and your background, your history, your family. And so I know you're saying that they're saying to you, "Ah, I think it's very, very endearing listening to it as well." Because it's my, the only reason, probably not the only reason, the biggest reason, is my challenges as I'm through my dad as well. If I haven't taken me to the Rangers games, and it's very resonant, I think you're saying no. But no, that's, I can't really argue too much. We, you know, they're great there. And I think that probably will be one that we'll be back in for a long, long time, for as long as we remember, and think of those 14 minutes, but also think about what could have been. So, let's pick it back up a wee bit and get a, get a clean ex away. Question number eight. What's your favourite in your song, Wolf? Wolf of Hampton time. Oh, fucking love that song. I picked that as well. All right, Wolf of Hampton time. And going, going back to, to bring Demi back into it again, right? A friend of mine just got a video of someone that she, she recorded on my phone almost 18 years ago when Demi was two, it was the day of the big Glasgow Walk. We ended up in the red line pop, which used to be a piece of the road, because it was my pal that owned it. We were in there after that. Demi was doing with me, and she was sitting in the back of her chair and she sang the one for the world world that I've been to. And my pal Helen, the video that she said, "I can't believe it's a two year old kid singing that song." One for one. Amazing. Ha ha ha, it's amazing. And then the song, that song, like in general, it made a bit, I come back after that long, long time ago. Mine was probably the all three or four season, that it felt like it came out of nowhere. But it doesn't get played often enough at Iberics now, for my liking. No, I think, I think the blue, I brought it back. I think when the blue, I thought it became a thing. I think we were kind of instrumental in bringing it back into the, into the consciousness. And that's when I became aware of it. You know, and it's a, it's a brilliant song. I mean, it's a, it's a fabulous song. I mean, even I'm too old to, not only not sorry to remember the, the game I've ever had during six day one, you know, but it's, it's great. I mean, one of the things I hope we do, I hope we, at some point, play a game in Wolverhampton just because of that song. That's the only reason I want to go and see a range of play goals in Wolverhampton because of that song. And it's a song, it's a song that tells our story. You know, it's not, it's not a made up game. That game actually happened in those events. That may be, that may be kind of a gloss, probably a bit gloss on them. But those events actually happened that, that was something that happened back in the day. And all of a sudden it tells our story. You know, it's, it's a natural, a wonderful song as opposed to a chant. And it's, you know, back to that, we, that we snip at a history. It's been a bit shearling back, starting just rangers, arguing that, that season is another huge role. What could have been, we don't know too much in that in terms of the European stage. But that same, it does tell us our age of strangers, the quality of team that they had in the recognition of, how, I don't know, like, if that, if that team, if we had the coverage that we do in the day, man, then like these guys would have been rock stars. The boys that played in Wolverhampton, that's why they brought that song. Well, 100%, I mean, it's, for me, it's probably one of the, it's probably one of the early European games that most, that most people know about, you know, I mean, you probably, you ask a lot of rangers fans, the problem we don't know who are first European games against, but they'll know that we played in Wolverhampton in 61, because there's a song about it. There's not a song about plain old GCN East in 56. But there's a song about Wolverhampton five years later. You know, and because of that, it's a game that everybody knows about. You know, even, I mean, even if you're only just aware of the logistics of the song, you know what's about again. And because of the players that have mentioned that you know, roughly, the type of media that is, you know. So it's, it's just an example, actually a beautiful song. Right, very catchy as well. So, um, again, I may be biased because I does map as well, but I think that's a great answer, love. All right. So on a, the penultimate question, if you could relive one rangel's moment all day in your lifetime, what would it be? If it's, if it's from anything that I've been on this planet, it's not a day I remember, but it's Barcelona 72, as I say, I was four. I'd love to have, I'd love to have experienced Barcelona 72. So if I could relive that at the age I am now, as opposed to the age I was then, because I couldn't, as a four-year-old, it meant nothing to me. But if I could, if I could relive it, it would have to be Barcelona. It would just have to be because rangel's been on a European trophy. And as you see, I've got a couple of really good friends that were there. And they keep reminding me that they were there. And that's fine. And I love hearing them out, I love hearing the stories, you know, how they got there. Because again, back then traveling wasn't easy. Folk didn't go abroad. You didn't go abroad at all. You know, folk didn't just say, well, we're going to be here for two weeks. So we're going to Mexico or go here. People just didn't leave the UK, you know, and 25,000. We just first jumped on planes and the cars around the buses that went to Barcelona. You know, and I'd love to experience that. I'd love to experience that by yourself too. And if you had that time to have a machine, I think, I was obviously not to take away the people that went there at a time and lived that moment. Just like raw in life. But I think if you knew kind of what was to come in the European season, what would become million doesn't have significance in this day was. And you might go back and view that way, that prism in your mind. And I think it's so much more powerful, that trophy. Yeah, I mean, I don't think, I mean, try to put myself as an adult in 1972. I don't think the majority of the angels fans at that game thought in their wildest dreams. It would be so somewhat so fun in the future before we got to another European final. Because we'd been, well, we'd, we've had the final in '61, the overhandings about the same, the overhandings with the same friends. So I had that in '61. Then in '67, we were to divide a new game in uniform. Then '72, it was Barcelona. So they're relatively frequent and European people still relatively new. I don't think anybody at that final with a thought in their wildest dreams. It would be so long before we got to another one. Because it was 2008 before we got to the next one. And I mean, people would say, well, you know, it's about 15 years after Manchester, right? But Manchester was a long time after Barcelona. So I think the people in Barcelona, if they knew what was to come with the new, they would probably have appreciated it more because it's not something to happen again, but another one, one since, you know. And I'd like to go back there to live that, know and find that it is the only time, because you would just say about every single second of it. Absolutely. And it's a very good point about how, I mean, as football fans, we are fickle. We do start taking hands for granted and there's almost, it's always behind saying that you really appreciate what's happened. We'll crop the good other bad. I mean, we don't need to look too far back. We come off the back of, you know, public final by all, looking forward to the Champions League for the first time and looking at that pando. And the way you do, you do play in the emotion of the time they're hearing now and you probably don't save it as much as you would be. I think that's why, in general, it'd be fair to see things better on hindsight. Yeah, but the thing we're looking back at this season's Champions League campaign, we got unlucky for, for me, we've got unlucky in two counts. First of all, we've got to do a tough grip. I mean, the team we got out of port three, I've just won this cadetal. They've been an absolutely on fire. They've hardly lost the game of season. They're absolutely on fire. One of them, one of them, when it comes to the Champions League, and I actually have a decent side, right? So we'll have that. That's probably the toughest group we've got to go up. But also, because of the season being squeezed for the World Cup, there was no break between the games. It was just week, week, and week. It's not, there wasn't, by the week, then two weeks time you've hit the next game. It was just, by the event of time, to be covered from the absolute mauling you've taken the week before. You know, it must be mentally, it was mentally taxing as it supports us. So you can only think how mentally taxing it must have been on the players. I mean, how did you pick this? How did you pick the mops in only, you know, seven days ago, we got by the ballamapole, we've got to go again. You know, it must be the way that I go. Whereas a normal European season, you've got 14 days between each of the group games, normally. You know, so we got double layer lucky. And in years to come, people might look back and think of it that way, as opposed to looking at embarrassing that was, you know, it's, that's just the way I think about that. I don't know, it's just the way I think about it. Again, I'm going to tell them a lot to myself. Definitely, I mean, your boxing of the ATO, I'll be honest to you. I mean, I'll take everything out. We can get him savaging him for this season. But not passed on in 1972. The highest, the highest and the range of sisterhood. And I think that's a great answer for going back. And we're living in your lifetime and stuff within the parameters of the equation. So I shall live with it. The 10th and final question then. We've together, let's sort of be back on text. You'll probably notice the last couple of 10 questions we've changed this one up, because it was becoming the take role of Smith out for a fine question. It used to be if you can take any expert and the ex-manager alive or dead, past the present, out for adventure to be. There's no surprise what Smith doesn't bother for. We've opened up our wee bit. So, well, I've got a pressure for four answers here. Which four Rangers players or managers past, present, dead and alive would be on your Rangers Mount Rushmore? This was probably the easiest one to get the answer for. Tom Vales, Mr. Struth, Walter Smith, and just for the shirts and giggles, I'll leave my Christ. Well, there we go. We've covered quite a blow in the period of time now. So let's sort of film them one by one. There's, I mean, a lot of people can't hardly wait much here. The choice here. First of all, Tom Vales, first of all, Andrew's captain. I sourced my heart because it was a former owner of Culp 22, which is now the Viceroy, which is where I can be shandy or two. Speaking a bit, Mr. Vales. No, not one of the four founding fathers, not one of the four lads that had a dream, but it was here from, basically, from the very, very beginning. He was here from very early on. And, as you see, first captain of the club, played for the club. He was much sick. He did everything. He was, I don't think Rangers are. I'm not even sure Rangers would still be a thing without the, the organizational skills and the drive of Tom Vales. And they certainly wouldn't be, we certainly wouldn't be what we are now without what Tom Vales gave today, just from what I've heard from, you know, reading books and doing the foundest trail and all that sort of stuff. For me, Tom Vales is the fifth lads that had their dream, although he wasn't there at the inception of it in the four lads, we're walking through the park. But yeah, to me, I mean, I couldn't, I couldn't separate the four founding fathers. They should be the Mount Rushmore, but that's, that's too easy. And you can't just pick one over the other, you know, for me, you can't, so if you can't pick one of those four, it's got three Tom Vales. It's, it's a very good point you make about the captain saying, again, this is, you know, this, the game of football isn't anything like we know, when Tom Vales is a Angels captain. And the, the role of captain, it's, it's much more than in going and picking, um, picking aside that they're going for, they're going to us as very much at organizing, organizing the club and, uh, and all their logistics and all the background of it as well. And it's, I think guys with Tom Vales are so important, not just on the pitch, but the institution that we know is Angels. That's like, mammoth, like, it's, it's in, it's in way. I don't know where, it's in way the mountains as well. And you know, it's that old and iconic guys like Tom Vales, they've got a massive part to play for that. And I think they found us still doing a great job in telling the story, but it's probably so much more that we, we can't even comprehend that he would have done. Yeah, I mean, the foundation family hasn't done it, it's incredible. I've not done it myself in a few years, but I mean, as it's incredible. Um, and when the guys do a great job, the, the detail they go into. And I mean, the fact that, that you speak to most Rangers supporters, the new Tom Vales and says, that tells you, that tells you all you need to know, but the man, all you need to know about the guy is just how much of an important party he played in the early, in the early years of Rangers from, you know, from 1872, told, told, told, told, he passed away. And you've got to remember, it was all like, isn't it? It's like, you know, you know, and he was accomplished everything he did. You know, known the things of, of, he had the book, read about music accomplished absolutely everything that he did. And yeah, let's say without, without Tom Vales. I don't think we have it all the way out of the day. Another, another man in that mood. And again, really thinking back to the, the early party, the 20th century, and how wife is, is this all definitely general? And football is definitely general. And the roles are much more, um, definitely very, to what we know the roles in football now, the, the general manager. House of, um, I don't think anybody asked why he's on there, but it's a, it's a pretty short podcast. I've, I don't actually, I put it, it's when, but I mean, what can we say, there's no being said about both stuff? Well, I mean, for me, there's nothing, nothing we can say that hasn't been said to me. Anybody with any, with any knowledge of Rangers or than any research on Rangers that's seen a picture of the trophy room. There's one, there's one massive portrait in the trophy room, and it's Mr. Strith. And that's, that's all you need. That's how you know, that's how importantly he was to a club. I mean, he said the standards that we, I like to think we still live by today. The standards are slipping a little bit. I get that because it's a generational thing. The time to move on, you know, don't wear bowler hats to games. Don't wear bowler hats at all anymore. You know, these are the bowler hats to games. He must, must us truth and still the discipline and the standards that I still think Rangers should live by today. You know, and I mean, I get time to say, for me, any Rangers player that's, that's going into eyebrows, should be wearing like a long tie, because that's what Mr. Strith said. But they're going, the training going, that's fine. You just go to training and dress and whatever they want, because they'll go into their work and it's, it's there. But back at Mr. Strith days, you went into eyebrows every day to train, because you trained that they are, you know, you trained forever, you trained. And that was just the standards that he said. And again, Rangers wouldn't be what Rangers aren't to do without the stand, without having standards. We, we set the standards for the rest of Scottish football. That's my number. That's why they don't like us, because we, we're the standard players. We, we are, we basically are Scottish football to me. And I mean, there's nothing I can say about Mr. Strith that hasn't already been said. He's, I mean, 18, 18 league championships, you know, numerous, numerous cups and, you know, the reverence that people, that people held them in. I mean, everybody just called them Mr. Strith, you know. The fact they lived in a flight and coat would overlook overlooking eyebrows, you know. Just, just to me, Mr, Mr. Strith's got to be, and I might rush more on the number one Ranger that has got to be Mr. Strith for me. Just, you know, I'll stop rambling there. On the whole, please, like, I can listen to all day mate. The, on the thing about the, the sandals and the, the dress crows and stuff, and there's probably something that does polarize our debate about it. Poor polarize debate. I'll be back with him, doesn't support about it. Or what does that actually mean? What does it matter for me? I think it's so obvious where it's no about your shirt, dress, and circular appearances. These were put in place, these small things, which were absolutely rules and you must obey by. It was about the discipline. And having that discipline that I took towards your profession, towards your trade, take on, make sure you do everything, everything the best possible standards you do. And that's how, for me, as fans would guess, it goes a long way to why, those who have won so many trophies, it's the standards, the discipline, and just being somewhere like you said in Tom Varns, just set up to be accomplished and everything that you do. I mean, not only, I mean, if you turn up to your work in a certain day, whatever that's not going to make you do your job, but it does help go get you into that mindset of just being disciplined and turning up to give your absolute best in mapping. And I don't think it's a bad thing if we take so many of these solutions on. Well, there's the stories you hear, you know, Mr. Stu said, if you're looking at the cinema, you're sitting in the post-seats. You know, if you're going on the train, you're sitting in first class. [BLANK_AUDIO] Because you're representing Rangers, you know, everything you're doing, you're representing best people. That's why we got the standards became what they were, because it was all what you're doing is you're not doing it as Tony Gillick or as, you know, whoever you happened to be, you know, whoever you happened to be did, Johnny Hubbard, or whoever you are, you're doing that as an employee, Rangers, and people will see Rangers through what you are. You know, if you do something stupid, they'll say, that's not dangerous again, you know? I still try to live by that today, because a lot of people only know me as a Rangers fan. All they know about me as a Rangers fan, you know? And I don't want to give anybody the opportunity to say, that's just what they do. That's just what they are, you know? And that was a standard, Mr. Streaty said to me, that's why, you know, players were told, if you go on a train, it's first class. If you go to the pictures, you're not sitting in the stalls, you're not sitting in the balcony. You know, that was, and as you said, that's why they became successful, because it was all about the standards, the state, the high standards, which we'd always hear about the high standards and training, the high standards on the pitch. You didn't want to show us a lot in front of your teammates, in front of your colleagues, you know? And that was, it was Mr. Streathe that said, "I've got no doubt that all your milk and plumb will always start with it." I mean, he brought Mr. Streathe in, so he must have had some input in that. And that to me, why Mr. Streathe's so, so important to the legacy of the Rangers, and why he's totally deserved to have his portrait in the trophy. It's a very hard act to follow Mr. Streathe, but I won't say it next to him, that the family's what I'd give her, about her passion for, and such a kind of side, that I just want to be this next man and what was Smith. Everything we're seeing here, my boot, Mr. Streathe's in the sandals, and just, you know, being the best that you can do, it's so much a resonance. We wore our Smith, and, you know, he's caught very much for the same cough as Mr. Streathe, isn't he? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, everything, everything just isn't it, Mr. Streathe, you could say about what was Smith, in a more modern sense, because obviously, what was Smith's? A more modern, a more modern coach, because he, just because of the generation that he, that he lived in. But I mean, everything he did was for the, was for the good of the Rangers, everything he did was, I'm representing Rangers, you represent Rangers. So, I mean, I don't, I don't think for a minute what was Smith was that, was the disciplinarian that Mr. Streathe appears to have been. Because you've got a, it's a different generation to play, you're dealing with, you've got to cut them a bit of slack, you've got to let them get on with their life too, and do what they do. But, I mean, yeah, as I said, I'm going to say about Mr. Streathe applies to what, applies to what was Smith, because, I mean, to, to probably the most people, wasn't that they're, they're obviously, you know, most of them all seemed at what was Smith and he just, or, you know, be aware of what was Smith and he just came depending on the Rangers and things like that. And the fact that, that the man came back and now that either I need, you know, I mean, it's first, it's first stint as manager. He took, he took over some grim sweetness when the wheels could have completely fallen off, after that when changes left us not, you know, the wheels could have completely fallen off, but what was they do they ship about on it, to it's the name of the road. Well, last season didn't go through early life, and then, for me, really, really, we needed them because of his love for the club, he came back, you know, he was on a nice cushion numbers manager's goal, you know, that's, and a nice little manager, it's a cushy, to me, it's a cushy one. A hard-time job, huh? Of course, as I, and he was, and he was good at, he was getting results as well, you know, and he just went, "No, they just need me." Yeah, he could shove like, "I'm going back to good, they need me," you know. And we'll, we should prefer that on his date, because, you know, because we could, who knows where we would end up with what, or hadn't come out and answered the call. And, you know, obviously, in the end of the road, it's, you know, all the time, there were clubs, the clubs have other than that. It's a huge achievement, but in the, I think it's a completely separate portable, what's, what's the more I call an expert for what I smith, but the, any settings people, he's having to completely change as a manager, then how he was, for the first bill, working on different resources, different budgets, and getting to your details in a row, and getting to stay a, to your European final, without the, the riches of, um, Brian Louder, pop-up on grad school, and that's our achievement in itself. It just shows you what a great man manager he was. I mean, you know, there's, there's the famous t-shirts too in a row, no door, because we hadn't bought anybody for two years, you know, and he still won us two details, and she won us three in a row. We'll have the same, we'll have the same, that's all, we'll have the spent money on anybody, because we didn't have the money to spend, and we're still, you know, we're still one, we're still one, so when three details are, you know, his man was just, there's, there's no enough super health to, to, to strip what, that, you know, that, that a guy, I, I, I, I, I all stole all water smithin', you know, and I was lucky to have met him a few times, just kind of, and passed in this deep photo, whatever, and blow it, absolutely fantastic, and nice and man, you can, you always have time for everybody, you know, and if he didn't have time, he may choose you, you he didn't have time, it wasn't just I'm ignoring his work, I really need to go on doing this and doing that and busy, whatever, you know, and I'm sure Mr. Threw, Mr. Threw, he'd been the same, had wife been the same back in his day, I mean, I don't suppose that they got more than two people looking for, well, certainly not looking for photographs back then, but, you know, looking for a lot of Russian stuff like that, you know, I think they're, they're both cut from the same cloth for me. No, the, the X-1 picks so far, and also the fourth one, this is a, I don't know, this is a, I said, rock star here, and this is a glamour model of the four, and then the, the personality, and I don't want to say too much to, to diminish his, um, he's, be standard as a player, because the boy could kick a ball as well, but Alan McOystee's, you know, hard push to find that he just found a sort of sport, um, who does never sort of sport for Alan McOyst? Yeah, I mean, I, I say put it early McOystee player, so Alan McOystee managed to, he was, he was dealt a real buy a hand to a new penny, he was managed, he was never going to thumb it down, like John Greg was never going to thumb it down, 90-70, because you don't, you're not going to offer that again, and he got offered that off hand, he made a mess of it, and all that, but he still got offered that off hand, but as a player, Alan McOystee was just superb, I mean, my, my old-time dangerous idols, David Cooper, without any shadow over there, because my first Rangers memory is Rangers signing David Cooper, and he's just, hero for me, McOystee runs him very close, I mean, my first-ever old fun game was Alan's first-ever old fun game, and he scored after 27 seconds, unfortunately, I lost the game, but, you know, so I had that with him all the way through my, all the way through his career, I was, you know, I was, I was going to games, I was watching them, and to me, the man just, and I've, again, I've been lucky to meet him, I've met him a few times, and what you see on the telly, people say that Alan McOystee is this, and I telly, that's what he is, that is Alan McOystee, it's not an act he puts on for the TV, that is who he is, you know, if you meet him, I mean, I, when he was manager, and we were putting Peter Hadley, they stayed on her telly, when Alan McOystee went to see the team leave him on the team bus up to Peter Hadley, and I took Demi away when she was only, I thought she'd been at the time, seven or eight at the time, maybe nine, and the team's coming out, and I'm getting the photos where he, he, he came out, and he first over, now he's going to have had an important week match with his team, and he's took time out of his day, you know, to fuss over her, brilliant, and that, but that's just Alan McOyst, that the, the early you see on the telly, it's the early, it, it's what Alan he has, and that's it, and I just think that from my mouth, from my mouth rush more, if I'm in a door, it's faces curved, didn't I, I'm out in a mouth, mouth rush more, these are the guys that you are going to have in a room together, you need a bit of hilarity with it, because the other thing would be very, very serious, and I think that'll be, we just combine it all together. I think Alan McOyst rounds out off well in terms of the, the mental rush more as well, because for me it's, I've, I think when, when you look at the Angels this today, I, those players who have more medals than others, and who played in this game in that game, but I think you need to put everything in its context, and I think you need to work, for me I work here, what they, what's each manager or individual added in the context of that time as well, and I find the four you've got, I think it does really cover almost your, the four of them are almost your perfect ranger, as well in terms of talent, in terms of accomplishment, and the personality traits as well, because those, it's, this is going to sound very cheesy, I know, but being, being a successful ranger, whether it's a man, you know, or a player, it's not just about that discipline and that high standards, it's, it's the market demand as well, and I think it's, it's hard to comment on sort of in balance, but I think definitely McOyst and Smith, you have that as well, you're being a Rangers, that's a true ranger, that's, you know, it's been a, a genuine, warm kind, at the right times, yes, you work hard, and you, and you do hold the high standards for everything that you do, but that market demand as well tends to set the greatest rangers apart, in my opinion, and I think we've covered that there on the amount of rush more. Yeah, I think you're 100% right, yeah, absolutely can't argue any of that. Perfect, well, what a way to finish it off, eh, well, if you'd be glad to know that same, they ended the 10 questions, but it's hard as what you thought. Yeah, not a part of what I couldn't answer, I'm not what I'm saying, that was really, really enjoyable, I absolutely do, and I do enjoy that go on, thanks for, thanks for asking me, do it, really enjoy it. No, I've absolutely loved having you on, and again, it's, I see all the time, this is my favourite part to do, eh, it's the easiest, I don't need to do any play, but just turn up and I'm surprised because I don't know what's growing up, and I just love hearing, like, you should have 20 people, all the same age, all the same upbringing, being the same amount of games, and they all have 20 different sets of answers, because we all take different things for the Rangers, all different games mean different fantasy, and I just love hearing it. So thank you for coming on mate, tell the rest of us, I'll be absolutely shocked if the rest of us don't know who you are the way I find you, but again, working the rest of us find you speak more about Rangers. Yeah, well, I'm one, I'm one of the Rangers, right, I will fail, fail irregularly, obviously, over on YouTube, but I'm one of the other three, do a phone in, which can be clear, I'll see you in a next time. We're also over on Patreon, I'm one for it as well, at World 1872, and basically, actually any of the Rangers are playing it, you'll find me, don't be shy, you can only say hello. Oh, go in, and again, I caught my arms, if you fancy coming on top of your time for Rangers, I mean, we'll set the bar high, but come on, tell us your story as well, and all ages, near and far, but after a good morning, tell your, your story of fallen Rangers, but until next time folks, that'll do is take care.
