He was actually brand new back thenCirca 2003/4 Stephen Thompson came across to sit with my son and I to watch the football at the David Lloyd Club in Renfrew when his wife was playing in a tennis tournament. Nothing but good things to say about him that day. He was happy to chat with everyone.
Best night out there has ever been
Trash tuesdays
Seen Arthur Numan sliding off the mad bar in there,he was blotto
Aye mate seen him in there as wellyou must have seen Latapy in there at some point. He was in every week!

Jiggy Jiggy (as big Nuno would say!!)
Weren't all our team bears?The day after the lovenkramds final I met the team at the airport, you could tell who the bears were by the smiles on their faces
Just remembered my aunt got me Kevin drinkells autograph when she worked in a hotel in Grangemouth. Was on a purple Post it noteMet loads of players over the years but the most random meeting was just last Saturday when I met Kevin Drinkell in M&S food hall in Perth.
That's immenseMy birthday is the 24th September, same day as Ally's. One year when I was 9 or 10 (mid 90's) we were away at Pittodrie on my birthday and my parents took me into Ibrox at night to see the players arrive back. My dad had two cards, one for me and one for Ally. We got to speak to him and when my dad told him the story he signed my card and asked me if I would sign his.
He's been my hero ever since
Used to work in trash behind the bar. Craig Moore came in pished (whilst he was out injured). Was a bit annoyed at him as he was jumping about mental on the dance floor smoking like a lum. He was our captain at the time as well. He was adamant he was getting my TIT tee shirt, as in “Tuesday’s in Trash”! (complete with big tits on the front) and was trying to swap his t-shirt for it.
Gough was in with them and kept saying how he should be watching and taking care of himself better. Kept referring to us as “Glasgow Rangers”.
That’s actually a tame story. Some of the sights in that place were incredible
I forgot about that - I’ve met him when golfing down there.Some brilliant stories on here.
surely some of us who have played golf at Turnberry have met Peter Mcloy also since he’s a starter?
Lol that’s one of my favourites so far.Used to dog school and go over to the Albion to watch Rangers train. Anyway, I'm about 13 or 14 and I'm watching them and Jock Wallace comes over. He asks why I'm not at school. I try to change the subject as he stayed next to us in Newton Mearns when he was manager first time around and I told him that. I stupidly expected a friendly chat. Grabbed me by the collar of my snorkel jacket and promptly marched me out the Albion. Called the school and fired me in. School called my Dad. Suspended and no ST for a month.
That is different class mate. The poster is an absolute belter. What a storyWas just a young Bear at the time but was standing outside Tannadice in 1987 to get some autographs. We'd just beaten United 1-0 (Dave McPherson) and I had a team poster with me to get signed. It had the team picture in the middle and individual player pictures round the outside. I'd stuck a Panini sticker of Graham Roberts on it as he'd signed in December.
As the players came out I was getting them to sign their pictures and when Graham Roberts came out he signed his and asked if I'd gotten everyone I said I'd missed a few all coming out at the same time. Next thing I knew Robbo took me on the team bus and went round all the players until they'd all signed their pics.
One happy young bear cub.
Have to get this framed.
Sorry meant the passengers in the lounge, the bears were smiling, the other lot growlingWeren't all our team bears?

Just spent 15 minutes with Shiota this evening. Couldn't have been any nicer. Him an Pieter Huistra, pair of gentlemen.Me,wife and son sitting waiting to board Easyjet flight from Glasgow to Amsterdam when a women with her 2 kids sit across from us both boys decked out head to toe in Rangers gear and speaking in a foreign language. I'm giving it all 'they must be a players family'to the wife but obviously we didn't recognise them, anyway baggage collection in Schipol we just happened to be standing beside thhis family and they had massive cases i offered to help the lady with her luggage on to the trolly and read the tag ' Arveladze'. Sure enough Shota was waiting for them through departures had a wee chat with him and he was happy to have photo taken with my son. Fair to say the wife was mortified at my detective work!
