Don’t forget to cheer on your fellow Scottish club tonight

Rangers play Unirea Urziceni this evening in Romania’s Steaua Stadium. They already played two weeks ago, and I complete forgot to come on the ‘gers that night. I think I had yoga or something.

Of course, a Scottish side should cheer on another Scottish side, as the folks from BBC Scotland suggested at the beginning of the European competitions. And, now that I remember it, I forgot to cheer for Rangers in their Uefa Cup Final last year.

And I also forgot to cheer for Rangers two years ago when they faced Lyon, when all they needed was a draw to join Celtic in the Final Sixteen.

So brush off those Jean-Claude Darcheville replicas, which I know you’ve got stored away (behind your Manchester United kits that you’re so oft to wear whenever they’re playing), and support the other Scottish club still in Europe. I, however, don’t want you to go out of your way or anything. If cheering on Rangers tonight is not on your to-do list, please, please, please not feel to obliged. I have a few better things myself and just don’t think I’ll be able to fit it in. Hold yer breath and we’ll see. I may have yoga again tonight instead.

Just remember: if Celtic fans or any other Scottish footballing club fans don’t cheer for Rangers tonight, then who will? Rangers Supporters may have other things to do as well, and I don’t blame them.
