Stay classy, Rangers.

I generally prefer to stay out of the pissing contest between the two big boys in Glasgow, but when either one hurts the Scotland national team, my first football love, then I’m forced to pick a temporary side. Allan McGregor and Barry Ferguson were both banned for life from selection to the national side after a combination of a drunken night out after the Holland loss and a shameful display during the win over Iceland.

Good riddance. Ferguson was a captain of Scotland, and at times a quite good one, and McGregor had a real chance to challenge for the #1 shirt … and now, thanks to their childishness and idiocy, the national side is that much less deep in two vital positions. Well done.

    Good riddance exactly. I think people have got sick of making excuses for Ferguson. McGregors never been good enough to have anyone make excuses for him. In saying that i reckon the transfer-listing is more to do with the lack of funds at ibrox. Martin Bain must’ve been delighted. But like i say- Good Riddance
