Why didn’t John Grieg drink from the cup?
Noticed the guy before his turn had a cold sore.

We last hosted them at Ibrox first game in January 2011. I assume they participated in the ceremony but unlike today with the explosion of media content from the club it would not have been filmed, so would have remained private to those in the blue room.
Interestingly we are due to host the "New Year" fixture next season and the weekend falls on the 2nd/3rd January.
After the last 9 years and the current mindset of the Celtic support there is no way the Celtic board will be a part of this, not when we film it and spread it widely online. Their support would crucify them.
With their continued influence, brace yourself for a nighttime kick off midweek fixture on the 29th or 30th December next season.
Guaranteed.

That thought crossed my mind when I was watching it on the screen at half time last night.I reckon this is why the Ne'erday fixture is now always before the 1st January.
think it might have been Katovice who we played in Europe a number of years agoMy old man and the majority of my family were a miners so was interested in the story. When I did the tour I noticed a vase type ornament with an emblem of a miner on it, black thing it was. Turns out we got presented it from a Polish club and was made from coal. The name of the team escapes me...maybe somebody could help.

Great to carry on such a tradition in this modern world when so much is forgotten and binned to the history books.
Must’ve been a great honour for a club like Stranraer to have been part of such a historic ceremony.
There is no disease amongst the Ibrox heirarchy.Surely a health and safety matter?
I haven't seen the like since I was a young serviceman sharing a metal fire bucket of a brown alcoholic beveridge of rather questionable identity, with a dozen or so other dubious drunks whom I am not actually sure were being particularly hygienic when it came to their slurp.
I hope Mr Gerrard gave his gub a good wipe with his sleeve.
too much lemonade in it, I drink my whisky neat myselfWhy didn’t John Grieg drink from the cup?
Craig Shyte didn't sell it, so not much apparentlyI know it’s priceless to us but how much do we reckon the cup is worth?
the only mixer for whisky should be more whiskyIm a wee bit disappointed that they put lemonade in Glenmorangie
I was told that Craig Whyte was keen to get our trophy room articles valued with a view to selling some of them.Craig Shyte didn't sell it, so not much apparently
Thought his behaviour was pretty embarrassing to be honest. Was like he was a kid who had won a prize to attend.Looked like Ross Wilson had already been on the whisky before it.
It's happened before, there have been fixtures when the weekend has fallen on dates right after the new year nd the winter break then followed.I doubt there will be fixtures on that weekend - winter break

The Loving Cup was commissioned by the then Stoke City chairman, Sir Francis Joseph, to commemorate the coronation of King George VI. Of the 30 cast, 22 were given to English League clubs that finished the 1936/37 season( of which Sheffield Wednesday were one, think we got relegated that season), 2 were given to the clubs who gained promotion that year, one to the SFA on the occasion of the Britain v Rest of Europe match at Hampden Park, the English FA, the English Football League,the King himself and Glasgow Rangers.
Rangers were gifted Stoke's cup after travelling to Stokes City’s stadium which was then the Victoria Ground. 30,000 fans saw a the teams play out a 0-0 draw. The match was to raise funds for the dependants of the victims of the tragic Holditch Colliery disaster, near Stoke. 30 miners were killed and 8 were injured due to a fire and subsequent explosions on the 2nd July, 1937. After the match had finished, as a token of appreciation, Stoke City chairman Sir Francis Joseph gave Rangers their Loving Cup. He had 1 request being that it should be used to toast the health of the reigning monarch prior to the clubs first home match of every New Year.
It is thought that there are only 5 Loving Cups’ left in circulation. Chelsea’s cup is in their museum, Stoke City got a replacement for the one they gifted to Rangers and Grimsby Town, Everton and Rangers still have theirs. Out of the 5 clubs, Rangers, Stoke City, Everton & Grimsby Town still to this day, toast the health of the reigning Monarch before the first home game of the new season.

£1690.00I know it’s priceless to us but how much do we reckon the cup is worth?
I speculated about this a while ago. I am not convinced that it is coincidence that the fixture has effectively been brought forward a few days at a time when the people running that club appear to be more mired in bitterness and pettiness as has ever been the case in my lifetime.I reckon this is why the Ne'erday fixture is now always before the 1st January.
Don't even like whisky and this annoyed me - glad I'm not the only oneIm a wee bit disappointed that they put lemonade in Glenmorangie

I felt like I was watching a Norman Wisdom movie when he appeared on the screen.
A great tradition indeed. Nice to see the actual ceremony of the loving cup when the directors in the blue room at Ibrox pass the loving cup round, sip whisky and toast The Queen. We are a club like no other.
The Loving Cup was presented to Jimmy Bowie, Chairman of The Rangers FC in 1937.
That's him in the photo, my great uncle, the only Rangers player to become the Chairman of Rangers
