Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. 👹

25 Mar 2026 14:17:30
Number of the beast. Iron Maiden.

25 Mar 2026 14:26:32
Transforming himself into an angel of light, but busy stirring up trouble. Sounds about right. 🤔😜

25 Mar 2026 15:54:28
Florida, nice seeing you back mate. 👍

25 Mar 2026 16:24:17
Hi Florida, I asked about you a while back as hadn't heard after you had been at the Porto game. How are things.

It can't be me writing the posts as I have actually been working. 😁

25 Mar 2026 17:19:12
Waltersguitar - A banger of a Maiden track. 👍👍👍👍 Good memories of the old Glasgow Apollo.

Seen a post about who will benefit more for the international break so now have 2 weeks off then 2 games and correct me if I'm wrong here we have another week off prior to the split. Will benefit Barron, will benefit shankland hopefully won't benefit the other mob.

anyone itk if any of their players injured near fitness. I know if we take care of buisness then it doesn't matter before anyone says it.

25 Mar 2026 13:22:23
Davie thinks Johnstone and Engels are close to a return for them.

25 Mar 2026 13:35:11
And the good news is Kasper is due to return also.

25 Mar 2026 16:05:18
Engels is dug meat, get him back in.

A cracking description between Football and Rugby

Big slim Jim Baxter

25 Mar 2026 13:25:44
Three cheers, excellent. I always think camera speeds these days must be different, as players don't seem to glide across the pitch like Baxter did. I can't think of anyone who looks that graceful these days.

{Ed001's Note - Mousa Dembele did Angus, he really did glide across the field. Beautiful player to watch, such a shame he wasted so much of his career at Spurs!}

25 Mar 2026 13:42:43
He was long before my time, Angus, but he must have been some player. You should have seen me on holiday, looking very graceful, gliding gracefully around the pool table, steaming, getting gubbed with a big smile on my coupon. 😄

25 Mar 2026 13:48:47
Very classy player, I never had the chance to see him playing, but I've only heard really positive things about him, ma auldman loved him.

25 Mar 2026 15:24:56
He was my idol as a wee boy. Will never be another Slim Jim.

25 Mar 2026 15:28:52
Yip Slim Jim Baxter before my time, but the clips I've seen of him show what a brilliant midfielder he was, a true Rangers great. 👌🇬🇧

25 Mar 2026 16:08:43
Never saw the man play, but my old man used to tell me stories about him regularly. My old man grew up with him. I've only seen him on video, and what a player he looked, well ahead of his time.

25 Mar 2026 16:13:49
Between the ages of 12 and 16 I was fortunate enough to see Baxter in his pomp, including my first Wembley in 1967. Then again, he had Caldow and McKinnon at his back and Millar, Brand, and Wilson in front of him! Wonderful, cherished memories that I am privileged to have.

25 Mar 2026 14:15:49
Glad u clarified its was the Spurs one Ed.

{Ed001's Note - yeah there were about 4 around at one time!}

25 Mar 2026 16:26:58
Ed - Dembele was a very good player as well but Baxter reminded me of how easy it is made to look when you have that skill and composure.

3 cheers I have been gliding like that on holiday with a few beers in me. that is until I trip toe my own feet and fall flat on my face 😉. wife also tells me I ain't actually gliding but staggering. I thought they were the same granted

25 Mar 2026 17:37:26
Jim Baxter was simply the best. I was honoured to call him a friend. After he retired, he worked in his pub on Paisley Rd West. He was always found holding court about his career.

He had a very good mate, George Stewart, who was also a terrific player and drinking buddy.

25 Mar 2026 21:03:31
Fortunate to see Jim Baxter play for his Rangers career and Scotland games. First away Scotland match was England at Wembley in 1967, and will never forget his keepy-up and nutmegging Alan Ball. Was part of a great team.

25 Mar 2026 09:38:28
I said a few months back that between 80-84 points would win the league this season and i think that now will be the case 🤔If we finish on 82points i absolutely believe we'll be champions 👍🇬🇧

25 Mar 2026 10:09:04
Sws, I do not care too much about points.

Let's just have 7 disciplined pragmatic wins.

Win 7 games and we win the league.

25 Mar 2026 10:15:39
Sws, 81/82 points, could even be lower, mate.
Celtic can only get 82 points with winning the 7 remaining games. Us 84, Hearts 87.

25 Mar 2026 10:38:16
We finish on 82 points, league ours, mate.

25 Mar 2026 11:00:02
As long as we have 1 more point than Hearts.

25 Mar 2026 11:34:10
Think it will be under 80 wins league, the split will be ups and downs for all teams, this is the first time I've felt that we will win this league though the team looks if it will kick on.

25 Mar 2026 12:07:27
It's only an observation for god's sake, Aphelion 😲 I don't particularly care either about what number of points we end up with, as long as it's enough to win the league title 🙏 I tend to think we'll get 82 points and that for me is enough to be league champions. 🤔🇬🇧

25 Mar 2026 13:48:03
If Celtic drop more points, do you think they will lie down to Hearts in an effort for them to win it and not us?

25 Mar 2026 14:14:02
Let Aberdeen get second a good few seasons ago, gess.

25 Mar 2026 14:17:23
Absolutely geesa. That's why you want the 2 to play early in the split.

25 Mar 2026 15:19:34
82 points?
Assuming that's us winning 6 and drawing 1?
So draw with Celtic and beat Hearts.
But if Hearts win their other 6 games, they will finish on 84 points.
So we need / expecting others to do us a favour?
But not beat us?
Since we got beat by Hearts away in December, we have had 6 games away - 3W & 3D.


But, until the end of the season, we are going to change that to 75%W and 25%D?
I'm loving the confidence.
But it's one game at a time from me.

25 Mar 2026 15:42:09
Correct, mph, too many fans getting a head of themselves and who cares how many points it is or when they said how many points will win the league as long as it's us at the top.

25 Mar 2026 15:56:41
Mph, you really believe Hearts will finish with 84 points? Fair play, but not a hope in hell imo.
