My Dad took seriously ill in 2006. Our last match at Ibrox was a 1-1 draw against Aberdeen in April 2006. For four further years my Dad struggled with illness.
I had always said to him, I'd only go back when he was ready.
Sadly it wasn't to be. My Dad did say to me before he passed I was to promise I'd go back to see the Rangers.
On 6th March 2010, after my Dad passed away I came back to Ibrox after four years. That season was to be our last Title.
Now based on the dates it looks like once again were playing St. Mirren on 6th March, 11 years after my return.
Almost seems as if it's meant to be. I'll tell you one thing if this does turn out to be the day we return to the pinnacle of Scottish football - I'll raise a glass to my Dad and all the Bears that are not here to see the end of the journey.
Emotional? You bet.
I'm almost crying typing this.
