THE SECOND THIRD COMING
It seems appropriate in the week of the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, that’s if you’re a Christian, personally I have only ever worshipped at the church of Laudrup, that our one-time saviour, Ma Baw Ferguson, looks set to make his return to the Rangers squad.
Despite having proclaimed less than two weeks earlier to the baying pack of journalists that Ma Baw and his disciple Shagger would never again kick a ball in anger for the Gers, Walter Smith admitted there would be a way back for our fallen idols.
Thus proving our very own tale of resurrection could come to pass at the appropriately entitled Easter Road on Sunday (you couldn’t make this up).
This week Smith opened the door for their comeback by inviting them back to the squad and quite rightly cast down upon the SFA. At a press conference this week, Smith said unto them that although the players were entirely to blame for their own stupidity, it should have been handled much better by the top brass.
He did sayeth: “The SFA have made me think a wee bit about the actions I had already taken against the players. Albeit I didn’t say publicly they wouldn’t play again, I did say that off the record. I accept I was wrong there.
“I made the decision to act because I felt that what they did was a poor reflection of Rangers Football Club overall. But if there is a wee bit of a problem, it’s with the perception that they will not play for Rangers again, and I admit my part in that.
"I just feel that overall, if the initial situation and the subsequent parts had been handled better, the whole thing might not have happened.
"That does not necessarily mean they have to play and there's nothing automatic there. After being out for a fortnight, we have to take that into consideration in the short term. That gives me the right to change my mind and all I'm doing is making them available for selection."
That looked a less than likely outcome not so long ago when Judas (aka Scott Brown) led his two so-called mates into the lions den, allowing Herod (the Daily Rebel’s twisted Keith Jackson) and his Rebel Alliance free reign to nail Ma Baw and Shagger to the cross while Brown walked off Scott free. (I’ll get my coat!)
The whole sorry mess leaves a bitter taste in the mouth though and if Ma Baw felt he had it rough on his return from Blackburn, then he might find his third coming a bridge too far for the Gers faithful.
HE IS THE RESURRECTION!
