We can't go counting the chickens yet, but Rangers are in a great position here. I really hate Dortmund due to the Klopp connection as well!

I am in a very triumphant mood right now, and easily offended Celtic fans can look away.

But nights like tonight reaffirm my defiant and passionate belief, that this is the greatest scottish football club that ever was and ever will be.
 
I think it’s easier for Edinburgh/Lothian/Fife kids to support their dad’s team if that happens to be Rangers or Celtic rather than say Partick Thistle, Motherwell or St Mirren. I’ve known Rangers and Celtic fans over the years with no hereditary links whatsoever to Glasgow. Supporting Rangers or Celtic becomes a badge of honour; a bit of reflected glory thrown their way.

I have a distinct memory of seeing a middle-aged Celtic fan in a supermarket in Edinburgh on the late afternoon of the day they won the first of their recent run of ‘trebles’, doing his weekly food shop. So that was 2017. How did I know he was a Celtic fan? Why he was wearing his replica Celtic top of course, and looking well pleased himself. I have no doubt he would’ve been strutting around Asda or Tesco again in 2018, 2019 and 2020.

I’ve only seen Hearts win three trophies in my life time (1998, 2006 & 2012). Not only did I attend each of those games, but I went on a three day bender on each of those occasions (actually, I could only handle two days in 2012).

That Edinburgh-based Celtic fan would laugh at the paltry success of Hearts, and rightly so. Yet somehow I don’t envy him or his shopping trolley.
What was more enjoyable, beating Rangers in 1998 or humiliating Hibs in 2012?
 
Ahh Well, back to your bath then.

Great celebrations...
