At a guess, one, or two, Rangers supporters involved in these things thought it would be a great idea to nominate Gazza. Also, it might help sell tickets for the event, rather than someone like John Robertson (the Hearts player) or Joe Harper, who played for years in Scotland, and scored loads of goals for their teams.

When others on the SFA heard about it, they pointed out that someone who, in the last few months alone, has been arrested for sexually assaulting a woman on a train, and filmed singing "F*** The Pope" might not be a suitable candidate for a Scottish football Hall Of Fame. He's hardly what you'd call a good ambassador for Scottish football.

Gazza had two excellent seasons at Rangers, then another not so good one, during which he was punted to Middlesbrough. If two good seasons is enough to get in the Hall of Fame, where do you draw the line? Paulo Di Canio played up here for one season, was absolutely outstanding, then transferred to Sheffield Wednesday. Should Di Canio get a nomination, or do you need to have had two good seasons to earn a place?

Call me picky, but I don't think two excellent season should get you in a Hall Of Fame. He played in Italy for 3 seasons, or so. Does anyone think he'll be inducted into an Italian football Hall Of fame? I highly doubt it. There must be loads of Scottish players who deserve a Scottish Hall Of Fame place before Paul Gascoigne.

In my opinion, it was ludicrous to nominate him in the first place, then embarrassing that it was withdrawn. It's typical of the incompetence of the people who run things up here. I think we can discount the concerns about his health excuse. Maybe some of the people who book Paul for after dinner speaking, and pour drink down his neck, should maybe ponder on whether it's doing him much good, health wise?

"gazza" is quite a loathesome character anyway, not many people get away with battering their partners because theyre alright at their job

some of the stuff he did was just bullying too but he got away with it cos he was a daft geordie, sorry like that doesnt sit with me tbh

Personally i couldn't give a flying if Gazza is inducted into the Scottish hall of fame or not but the way the whole matter has been handled is nothing short of embarrassing.

One of the best English players i have ever seen in the flesh though. Was absolutely brilliant in his time at Spurs.

Goram was an excellent keeper, there's no doubt about that, but I suppose it all depends on the criteria for being nominated for the Hall of Fame. If just being a good player is the sole criteria, and the amount of time spent in the country has nothing to do with it, or what you do off the field either, then both players would undoubtedly qualify.

If however being any kind of role model is part of it, then I would suggest a man who pled guilty to racially abusing a steward at one of his gigs, and humiliating him in front of the audience, a mere two years ago, as well as the other things I posted earlier, there is absolutely no way Gazza should have been nominated.

I mentioned two players from clubs I don't support who, in my opinion, should have been nominated a long time before Gazza, we'll here's one from the team I do support. Jim Brogan. He played a total of 14 years in Scottish football, for Celtic, and Ayr United. In his 12 year spell at Celtic, he won 7 league winners medal 4 Scottish Cups, 3 League Cups, and played in a European Cup Final. Kinda puts Gazza's two and a half seasons, in Scottish football, successful as they were, into perspective

As you know i'm a rangers fan through and through but off the park goram was a bellend

Morton 1 v 0 Falkirk
Bit of a non-event after the papers and social media had built the game up because our ex-manager jumped ship to go to Falkirk at the start of the season. Nothing between the teams until the Falkirk keeper was sent off for bringing down Morton midfielder Tidser on the edge of the box. After that, Falkirk understandably, sat deep and were keeping us out until ex-Falkirk striker McHugh headed in at the back post. Good 3 points.

Should've added, wee Joe Harper made the half-time draw and a wee interview, lovely guy, tho' Everton fans of a certain vintage would disagree.

I suppose you're right at the end of the day. You can only blame the drink up to a point.

Rodgers has failed massively in Europe

His tactics are all wrong

Lennon knew how to set up in Europe but Rodgers seems to find that approach "beneath" him
