First game I ever watched live. 23 years of trauma later π€£
π #OnThisDay 1οΈβ£9οΈβ£9οΈβ£3οΈβ£ : Golden boot, Golden balls, as Ally McCoist continues his broken leg comeback, scoring an overhead kick, as #Rangers defend our Treble, and retain the League Cup, with a 2-1 win over Hibs in the Parkhead final. Ian Durrant scored the 1st from a deft lob.

Stone Cold Storm Austen on its way to stun us.
Storm Austen has been named by the Met Office, but what does it actually take for a storm to be named, and why can one be named while warnings are still yellow?

Great news. Now all we need is a Saturday morning Gazzetta style show π
BBC Scotland and BBC Alba have secured a deal to show 38 live Serie A matches this season.
Matches will alternate between the two channels each week.

It is genuinely incredible that two brothers from a tiny rainy town in Scotland were able to both make it to world number 1 at the same time at professional tennis. The stuff of fairytales and magic. β¨
The Murray brothers are both retired now but what an unreal journey it was.
Look at the number of Italian European trophy winners in the late 80s, 90s and early 2000s to see this is complete nonsense. No other league has dominated as much including the current EPL.
Sad news. I Believe In Miracles might be the best sports movie I've watched. That whole Clough era is just incredible.
A true #NFFC icon. β¨
Happy 70th birthday to the magnificent John Robertson, one of the greatest to ever wear the Garibaldi shirt. π

28 years ago today, Frank Grimes hated Homer Simpson so much that it killed him.
Had a chance early in the Presidency for his Reagan "Challenger" moment. Instead he comes out with this.
