At the end of the regular season, Rangers had played 18 games, winning 13, drawing three and losing just two. There had been crushing victories (8:2 and 7:3 over St Mirren and 6:2 over Cambuslang). But one of their defeats had been against Celtic (2:1 away) and the other was at Dumbarton (5:1) with whom they shared top place with 29 points each. The play-off took place at Cathkin to decide the title. Rangers took a 2:0 lead thanks to goals from Hugh McCreadie and David Hislop, but allowed Dumbarton back into the game. It was 2:2 as the final whistle went and the Championship was shared for the only time in its history.

Imagine how ****e that would be, cheering your team on the whole season and drawing level with another team
Sentimentalists ... adopt whatever merit is in good repute, and almost make it hateful with their praise. The warmer their express ions, the colder we feel.... Cure the drunkard, heal the insane, mollify the homicide, civilize the Pawnee, but what lessons can be devised for the debauchee of sentiment?
a taig in my school did an english talk about when celtic stopped 10IAR. He had to do a talk on the happiest day of his life. There was a picture of him being jailed at a match once, folk were calling him Juan Ghuy I'll see if I can find it
That's actually pretty funny for you, Russ. Your annual Maddie -excursions sure bring the best out of you.
In my old job we had some bullshit training course we had to go on and as the fella was going around the room asked us to tell us something extraordinary about themselves, something that not many people had done. One fella Joe said he met Henry Clarkson. The guy teaching obviously was unaware who that was so delved deeper. Joe explained that he was probably one of the best Celtic players ever. Quizzed more the fella asked where he met him and how was his reaction. Joe then proceeded to tell us that he didn't actually speak to him but saw him in the airport. The room erupted into laughter and the thick bastard couldn't understand why.

You're off the case. I'm flying out next month to conduct a professional (geddit?) investigation. Please forward me your notes and any other relevant material.
