Kieran Duffy, from Springboig, Glasgow, said he saw the bottle come flying towards him from the corner of his eye. The 10-year-old was in a minibus of Rangers fans sitting in traffic at Cathcart Road, when a group of Celtic fans surrounded the bus and hurled abuse at the occupants. Mr Duffy said the fans passed the bus and a couple of them decided to attack the driver. The door was opened and a bottle was thrown. Kieran, who required stitches, said: "I swallowed a tooth and one of them was cracked in two." 17 Stays In The Grounds 4: Mark Scott was killed on a Saturday afternoon on his way home from a football match between Celtic and Partick Thistle in Glasgow’s East End. Mark was a 16-year-old boy walking with 2 friends on a busy street when he was murdered in an attack by a stranger. Mark never saw his killer. Mark's pals told the court that they were heading home after watching Celtic beat Partick Thistle 2-1. They were walking along London Road towards the city centre to get a train. His friend told Iain Bonomy QC, prosecuting, that a man standing with a group of people outside a pub near Bridgeton Cross spat beer at them. The beer hit Mark and Iain, but none of them reacted to it. They just kept walking forwards. James said he then heard footsteps running up from behind them and then Mark was stabbed out of nowhere. 18 Evidence I remember thinking His name’s Mulherne? ’all this hate is for me’.

RELATED LINKS • Deal close on pivotal day for Rangers • Advocaat defends spending at Rangers • Bet on Football - Get £25 Free You kept playing until you were 40 and there currently seems to be a trend for older players excelling, such as Giggs, Scholes, Henry and Friedel. What do you put this down to? Mine was due to necessity rather than pleasure, to be honest with you. I came to retire at about 37, but I went to Coventry and I was persuaded by Ron Atkinson, then by players at the club, and then by the chairman at the club, that I should keep playing so that was my situation. The secret of keeping playing for a long time is playing with good players. There have been examples of people playing on - real top, top players - who have gone to a lower level and found it really hard, and then calling it a day. The secret is to have good players around you, you still have to love the game and you have to look after yourself. You will find that the people who have played for a long time have looked after themselves really at an early age - 15 to 21 -so they have got a real base fitness in them. They trained hard at that period of time, and hard work is not hard work to them: it becomes the norm. How much have improvements in lifestyle, nutrition and other techniques like yoga and pilates helped extend players' careers? People talked about my diet when I played: I had porridge, bananas, seaweed tablets.

  • Reframing Scottish Football: Strategy and the Short-Term Nature of the Football Industry
    Edinburgh Napier University Business School Reframing Scottish Football: Strategy and the short-term nature of the football industry Stephen Robertson Doctor of Business Administration A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Edinburgh Napier University, for the award of Doctor of Business Administration July 2015 “In human behavior there was always uncertainty and risk. The goal of the Oakland front office was simply to minimize the risk. Their solution wasn’t perfect, it was just better than the hoary alternative, rendering decisions by gut feeling.” Lewis (2011 p.136) Abstract Despite football being deeply entrenched in Scottish culture it is under- researched from a business perspective. This research develops a conceptual framework that views professional football clubs from a number of different perspectives. It draws on strategic management literature since this views the firm as the intersection between internal competence, customer perception and competition within an industry. A review of previous sports business research highlighted five main themes that were used to create a structure for the analysis: on-field performance, attendance, finance, the playing squad and the manager. These themes were used as frames to view the firms within the industry from a number of different perspectives. Each frame allows a different aspect of the firm to be considered singly in turn and then collectively to develop a deeper understanding of the existing frames in use within the industry. The research is based on a pragmatic philosophy that allows mixed methods to be combined to provide both an objective and subjective view of the industry. The subjective view was drawn from five interviews with senior figures within Scottish professional football.

The JAG was established following a Football Summit hosted by former First Minister, Alex Salmond MSP, on 8 March 2011.

  • Glasgow Rangers Football Club Was Formed in 1872
    1 Introduction – Sectarianism in Scottish Football In recent years, football worldwide has undergone several dramatic changes. Television has made the sport one of the most popular in the world, with viewers able to tune in to watch players from different countries compete for honours. These changes have also affected Scottish Football, with a great deal of money flooding in from television rights. However, football in Scotland has not benefited as greatly as countries such as England, Spain and Italy. One key problem that some argue holds Scottish football back from developing is the issue of sectarianism and religious hatred. While the problem is not as great as in countries such as Bosnia or Northern Ireland, it remains an important issue, one that society as a whole and football in particular, is attempting to rid itself of. Some feel that sectarianism is a particular problem for Scotland because the two main protagonists in the saga are the two biggest clubs, Glasgow Rangers and Glasgow Celtic. Throughout their respective histories, each club has come to represent the two sides of the sectarian divide. Celtic, wearing green and white, represent the Irish Catholic group, stereotypically supporting Irish Republicanism and displaying allegiance to the Republic of Ireland. Rangers, wearing red, white and blue have come to represent the British Protestant group, supporting Unionist causes and often displaying more allegiance to England than Scotland. A proposed visit to Carfin Grotto by Irish Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, had to be cancelled amid fears that the previous days Rangers vs. Celtic clash could spark sectarian violence. MSP Donald Gorrie felt that the issue was of such significance that he proposed a bill, outlawing sectarian behaviour.

  • Scottish Football – It’S a Funny Old Business
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository SCOTTISH FOOTBALL – IT’S A FUNNY OLD BUSINESS Journal of Sports Economics (2006, forthcoming) Stephen Morrow Department of Sports Studies University of Stirling Stirling (Scotland) FK9 4LA Tel: 00 44 1786 466495; Fax: 00 44 1786 466919 e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The last few years have been financially challenging for Scottish clubs: sustained losses, record levels of indebtedness, several clubs placed in administration. There are numerous reasons why Scottish football finds itself in this state. External factors like changes in the economics of football, in particular changes in football’s relationship with broadcasters have contributed; so too internal factors like poor financial management. While the need to adopt decision making and control procedures appropriate to the present financial circumstances of Scottish football is recognised, there is also a need for structural reform, both at a domestic and European level. 1 2 The last few years have been financially challenging for Scottish football clubs. The combined debt of the twelve Scottish Premier League (SPL) clubs at their 2003 year end was £186m, some £32m higher than the clubs’ combined annual turnover (PWC, 2005). In the last four seasons only one SPL club has reported a pre-tax profit. At one point in season 2003/04 a quarter of SPL clubs were in administration (Morrow, 2004). The current structure of football in Scotland consists of the SPL and three divisions of the Scottish Football League (SFL), each with ten clubs.

During Scottish football’s formative years, however, the ascendancy of the Old Firm was far from set in stone. The exhaustive study of these two extraordinary organisations, therefore, greatly distorts our understanding of Scottish football’s Victorian origins. Both clubs were part of a far greater scene which included not only fellow ‘senior’, well-established clubs, but also any number of ‘junior’, ‘juvenile’ and non-classified football clubs, as well as fledgling associations which oversaw the regulation of the young game.

  • Season 1918/19 Was David Prophen Mclean, a Man of Many Clubs, but Playing with Rangers in This Particular Season
    Season 1918-1919 St Mirren FC. The season opened on 17 August with victories for Rangers, Celtic and Morton. These three clubs would dominate the final wartime season. By the end of September, Rangers had full points from their first seven games, with Celtic and Morton one point behind after these sides drew 1-1 in August. Rangers did not drop a point until the last game in October, when a 0-0 draw with Motherwell still kept them three points ahead of Celtic after ten games. By the turn of the year Rangers still led the table with 32 points from 18 games, closely followed by Morton and Celtic. Rangers won the Glasgow Cup on 5 October against Celtic. In an ill-tempered match, both Peter Pursell and Jimmy McColl were sent off by the referee G W Hamilton. After an intense year of fighting, the Germans having a final Spring Offensive and the Battle of the Marne, World War One came to an end in 1918, with the signing of the Armistice. The negotiations were carried out in Ferdinand Foch’s railway carriage headquarters at Compiegne. Kaiser Willhelm II abdicated on 7 November and three days later he fled to Holland, on the same day that the German Republic was founded. The fighting ceased the following day on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918. The treaty of Versailles would officially end World War One on 28 June 1919. As the brave soldiers returned home, another horror was just beginning for them.
