MJC Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago 3 hours ago, joewarkfanclub said: As for Rangers (a very British organisation) doing more for the national side than Celtic? Jock Stein, Billy McNeill, Jimmy Johnstone, Danny McGrain, Kenny Dalglish, Roy Aitken, Paul McStay, Mo Johnston, Frank McAvennie, Scott Brown, Kieran Tierney and more...... The last time I checked Scotland was part of Britain? 🤷♂️ And I could add Stuart McCall, Davie Cooper, Tam Forsyth, Lee McCulloch, Alex McLeish (who all also have ‘Well connections) as well as Walter Smith, Sandy Jardine, David Weir, Richard Gough, Duncan Ferguson, Jim Bett, Allan McGregor, Alan Hutton, Kenny Miller (Celtic as well obviously), Gordon Durie, Colin Hendry, Willie Johnston, Derek Johnstone…and more. Plus to bring this debate back to the subject of Hampden Park, did Rangers not pay to have the West end of the stadium covered in the 1980s? Anyway…the Semi Final on the 1st November… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistandshout1983 Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Been reading the comments of course Pre 2012 I would have said more Rangers fans were interested in the national team and the Celtic fans were more interested in the Republic of Ireland , the ones I knew anyway I would say since 2012 with Rangers liquidation , plus the referendum there is plenty of them now who see the national side in the same light as the SNP , against everything they stand for , plus the hatred towards Steve Clarke, at the same time Celtic fans , the younger ones at least are more into Scotland now On the subject of Hampden Park and back towards the semi final chat which is what this was all about I must admit I still like Hampden. It is definitely not perfect in any way but still a good stadium for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is definitely not perfect in any way but still a good stadium for me I’ve never got the hatred towards Hampden. I love it and think there is a special feeling about going to play there. Perhaps that’s because when you’re playing there you’re usually in a Semi Final or a Final and that bit closer to tangible success or maybe because of the history of the place, from a Motherwell point of view it is the scene of the greatest day in the clubs history many in ‘Well fans lifetime, certainly mine. And the other argument against it is “it’s too hard to get to”. But is it? And if it is is it any harder to get to than any other major football stadium? Or indeed any harder to get to than any equivalent ground that could be used for a SF or Final? The only thing I don’t and never will get about Hampden is the insistence that Celtic and Rangers always get their ‘own’ end whenever they play there, no matter who it is. I get it when they play each other but when you’ve got Motherwell fans having to travel to the West end of the stadium just so that Celtic can get ‘their’ end and vice versa Kilmarnock fans having to travel to the East end so Rangers can get ‘their’ end then it’s a nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted 26 minutes ago Report Share Posted 26 minutes ago I like Hampden also (I'm in South or North stands though) and isn't difficult to get to. It is served by multiple train stations, from one next door to about 4 or 5 within a 20 min walk (albeit most on the same line) Its also 5 mins away from the M74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistandshout1983 Posted 22 minutes ago Report Share Posted 22 minutes ago I do like Hampden , my favourite memories 1991 aside are the cup semis against both St Johnstone , and even better the 3-0 against Aberdeen One of my other favourite memories, the Scotland game when Faddy gave the top to a boy who is related to my wife . Didn't know that at the time . Won't mention names but he is doing great for himself on the podcasts with the likes of Tam C and various others My one regret is we haven't won a cup at the newish stadium . Still time of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
