My granda, whose celebrations at Ibrox won him a lot of fans over the years, sadly passed away today at 94 following a long battle with vascular dementia.
He was my hero.
This is a personal piece I’ve written about my granda.
He’s 88 and still has a season ticket at Ibrox. He lives for going to watch Rangers but without that to keep his mind active I’ve noticed a decline.
I wish I could tell him he could go back soon.

This week, Rangers manager Steven Gerrard took time out to speak to 88 year-old season-ticket holder Alex Wilson.

Football kept his brain going and is part of why, I believe, he never forgot us even at the very end.
Hearts progressing is a great result for Scottish football. Rapid Wien a level of side that our clubs usually don’t come through.
Great to see so many Scottish players in the team too.

I thought I’d seen it all with officiating up here but this is genuinely beyond belief.
The standard is so poor it’s laughable.

For the first time in a decade, the Premier League season kicks off without Pep Guardiola, a visionary coach who changed the fabric of English football at all levels.
We spoke to 10 managers to tell some of their favourite stories about meeting him, including:
🔹 How he got one old-school boss to give his City players a team talk
🔹 When lunch turned into a tactical lesson, with wineglasses as players
🔹 How he would know every last detail about lower league opponents
🔹 The coach who rates him "up there with Slash form Guns and Roses"
