Ross Brady.... nope Ross Bready partick housing. I think it’s deliberate to continually get the wrong name.
Is this the wee banger that's been saying he's got some of Brendas stolen gear?

Absolutely scandalous, how can evidence be 'lost', where is the accountability.
I await with interest the comments from the snp, yet more anti Protestant hatred swept under the carpet. This part of Britain is utterly corrupt and will remain so until the snp bigots are removed.
Disgusting, biased bigoted scotland in full force .After a previous case was ballsed up by the corrupt Glasgow PF office as they didn't give the defence " full disclosure", I'm sure that was an honest mistake ( aye right!) they have gone even further now and the scum have walked free and they won't be prosecuted because wait for it...... the PF have lost, yes..lost the evidence!
Don't anyone ever try to say they aren't corrupt because it is obvious they are! All posters that have social media/twitter must demand that Humza makes a statement on this and that heads should roll for this and if not then why not.?

Celtic fans accused of taunting Rangers rivals with blow-up sex dolls walk free after evidence is LOST
We can reveal the case is dead in the water because the Crown Office lost video and photo productions ahead of a hearing last week
THE Old Firm hanging sex dolls trial was axed after prosecutors lost evidence, we can reveal.
Nine Celtic fans accused of taunting Rangers rivals by hanging blow-up sex dolls walked free after prosecutors lost the evidence.
The suspects were due to stand trial after two inflatable dummies clad in a Gers scarf and Orange Order sash were strung up in a Parkhead stand at an Old Firm clash.
But we can reveal the case is dead in the water because the Crown Office lost video and photo productions ahead of a hearing last week.
A legal insider said of the shocking blunder — which comes amid intense scrutiny of fans’ behaviour: “It’s down to the maladministration and incompetence of the Crown. Essentially they destroyed video evidence and the photographic evidence to a certain extent.”
The bungle — blasted by politicians and a legal expert — could prove expensive as legal aid for the nine has cost the taxpayer £3,650 alone before other fees are taken into account.
“Then there’s the cost of defence and prosecution work carried out in the background.
“It could end up costing a million quid quite easily.”
Old Firm fans united to condemn the effigy stunt during Celtic’s 5-1 Premiership home win over Rangers in September 2016.
The dolls had their hands bound and were suspended from the Jock Stein stand next to a banner that read: “This is it Bhoys, this is war”.
It came on World Suicide Prevention Day and shortly after ex-Rangers hero Kris Boyd, 35, spoke about his brother Scott taking his own life.
Nine suspects first appeared in court that year charged under the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act.
When that law was scrapped, the charges were converted to threatening and abusive behaviour.
After a two-year wait and a string of hearings the trial was supposed to get underway at Glasgow Sheriff Court last September.
But the case was postponed as it emerged prosecutors gave defence lawyers a version of video evidence that had been edited by cops.
The briefs successfully argued that they did not have all the material available.
Sheriff Allan Findlay blasted law chiefs for not giving the solicitors “full disclosure” of evidence and threw out the trial.
He said: “The Crown has taken the view that they are going to rely on police evidence.
“I don’t know what’s on the disks. For the life of me, I cannot understand why the Crown simply didn’t disclose this stuff to the defence.”
The Crown Office then launched a fresh trial bid with two pre-trial hearings held earlier this year.
But Kieran Carvill, 19, Andrew McDonald, 24, Kasey McKinnon, 19, Martin Gallagher, 27, Mark Macdonald, 24, Ross Brady, 29, Lewis McLachlan, 20, Myles McSwegan, 18 and Michael Bentley, 28, are all in the clear after the case finally fell.
Legal expert and lecturer Dr Andrew Tickell said of the blunder: “Mistakes are made and it’s not ideal but it’s definitely a cock-up. It’s particularly unfortunate as it was such a visible incident.“No prosecutor wants to lose evidence. You do wonder if one of the reasons why is the fact that they were converting the Football Act charges into Section 38 charges.“I imagine that would have required the papers and materials to shuffle around.“The more hands things pass through, the easier it is for someone to misplace it. In general terms, disclosure is extremely important and it became statutory in Scotland from 2010 onwards.”Tory shadow justice secretary Liam Kerr added: “It’s unacceptable that a case like this should fall because material has been lost.“At a time when the spotlight is on the behaviour of football fans, this is disappointing.”Retired police chief turned politician Graeme Pearson called for the Crown to explain the mistake.The ex-match commander, also Scottish Labour’s former justice spokesman, said: “This is extremely unhelpful in the current environment, given the controversy around management of football crowds. The public is due a full explanation on what went wrong and how pieces of evidence could be lost.“I would hope that going forward such cases would be treated with a higher priority than seems to be in this instance.“The officers who conducted the investigation will be disappointed given the time dedicated to this case.“There will also be a feeling that public money has been wasted.”And Scottish Lib Dem justice spokesman Liam McArthur MSP said: “Losing evidence is a failure in basic case handling. The Crown Office has the responsibility to prosecute on behalf of the public, but under pressure, they are letting things slip.“This isn’t the first case where justice can’t be served because evidence has been lost, or disclosed too late. If pressures on the service aren’t addressed, it won’t be the last.”
Shit like this makes me glad to be in America.After a previous case was ballsed up by the corrupt Glasgow PF office as they didn't give the defence " full disclosure", I'm sure that was an honest mistake ( aye right!) they have gone even further now and the scum have walked free and they won't be prosecuted because wait for it...... the PF have lost, yes..lost the evidence!

File this in beside the Whyte case and the Cup Final ‘over exuberance’. If there is enough room before squeezing it by stopping police from getting into Hampden, hitting kids with bottles or throwing lighters at our players.
The "someone" you speak of is probably a placeman as well. They have all the angles covered.How much lower can the Justice System sink, before some one does something?
The more I think of this, the more blatantly obvious this is a lie.
If it’s videos and pictures that went missing, there are loads of ways to recover them.
They will have been stored on a police network. If they were deleted “by accident” then they will be recoverable. There is absolutely no way that the police are relying on a single system which isn’t regularly backed up and saved on a separate network. This isn’t a dusty old videotape that's gone missing. Any court worth their salt would be having the PF over the coals for what is a blatant lie.
The problem is that Protestants do their job, while catholics in positions of power look after their own.Corrupt to the core
This is one for the club has to speak out on and anyone politically on our side. They wont give a fuq if it's only us who complain
I totally agree but this has to hit the headlinesthe link above mate is there for us all to ut your postcode in and find out who your MSP is and then fill in the form and demand they question the Justice minister on this. He and the corrupt Glasgow PF office have to be made to explain this as to me its a clear case of them sabotaging this case.
We either all demand justice or this will keep happening
It’s fairly straight forward IMO, Rangers fans are fair game and ANY behaviour directed towards us generally escapes punishments or sanctions.
The double whammy is no one outside our support gives a sh*t. This is without doubt the worst display of sectarianism and hate you’ll ever see at a football match in Scotland. Surprise surprise the police and PFs office make an a*se of it so no one is prosecuted.
Politicians and the usual suspects who love to portray themselves as anti-sectarian crusaders won’t give a f*ck and won’t mention it.
Nothing has been lost so why report lies. The evidence was either stolen by a criminal or destroyed by a criminal.
I suspect no investigation has taken place as they probably know they can't prosecute the suspect.
This is now the point than rather just saying we are annoyed on a message board, we actually all need to complain about this and do something to complain. This can't be allowed to fade away.
Every MSP/MP is listed here with contact details so, can we all please demand they ask questions of our useless Justice Minister. This PF office also needs to be investigated as this is as clear as day been a deliberate sabotage of this case and clearly shows that there is a two-tiered justice system.
This link below is really easy to use and, everyone will be able to use it as its just a case of putting in your postcode and your MSP/MP will come up and you click who you want to contact. It then sets out a letter and you say what you want to say and you then enter your contact details.
I would urge everyone to please take the time to fill this in and demand justice is done or are we all just going to let such anti-Protestant hate crime go without punishment and if that means PF's are sacked then so be it.

I remember at the time the club did speak out about this so this is time for the club to do similar.
Will someone be disciplined for loosing the evidence.
I think not.
He is the one who should be going.It's as clear as day that this evidence has been allowed to be lost and the first prosecution was a failure and proper disclosure was messed up because the Glasgow PF office is corrupt.
This whole fiasco should not be allowed to just be swept away and there should be sackings over this but we as supporters need to demand answers from Humza as he is meant to be the Justice Minister.

Well said MM. This is a must for every Protestant in the country to be up in arms about (not just the Rangers support). Posters on FB and Twitter must keep this highlighted, if you think it doesn't effect you, then think again. If we continue to do nothing, then sooner or later the game really will be a bogey, not just for our fans but every Protestant living in this country.
Thanks for posting the link, will complete this now.
The club should absolutely be going to town with the authorities over this and calling out Scotland for the catholic caliphate is has become, One Scotland, one culture toleratedThis is one for the club has to speak out on and anyone politically on our side.

Thanks for the link. I live in England so not sure how receptive they will be but it can’t harm to highlight what is going on north of the border.
Its just coincidence that Humza Useless is justice minister and a seltic fan
