Sensational.

No Surrender Banner Pre-Match at Ibrox
As I took my seat at Ibrox nearly 40 minutes before kick-off, you could already smell the tension and passion in the cold air. Even with 20 minutes to go, the gestures were flying back and forth and the obscenities were being passed across the stadium. An Old Firm derby [...]

Tumilty and the SFA were under criticism last night on numerous phone-ins due to the timing of the decision, which was only confirmed an hour before kick-off which thousands of Rangers fans [...]

Manager Walter Smith opted for a number of changes to [...]
