Happy administration day!🎉🍀

This reminds me of an incident, probably 20 years or so ago, when I was on holiday in the Western Isles. We were staying on South Uist which, as you will know, is the Catholic one, North Uist being Protestant. In the pub on the Saturday evening someone mentioned that there was a football match next day. I assumed they meant South Uist Rovers v Benbecula, or something like that, and thought no more about it. Then on the Sunday afternoon, about 4 o’clock, it seemed that every inhabitant of South Uist emerged from their houses, in a mood of great celebration, all wearing green and white hoops. It had, of course, been the Old Firm which everyone was watching on television, and Celtic had, if memory serves, won 6-0.

For the benefit of Americans, "administration" in this context means "bankruptcy" -- too bad, I use to watch the Rangers on TV when Scottish league games were broadcast. I don't understand about the cheering when they went down.

I went to Uni in Glasgow, my flatmate was a huge Glasgow Celtic fan, I remember all this stuff!
