One of the problems that I face in trying to fill the vacuum wilfully left by the sports desks in Glasgow is space and time.
Quite literally I’m not on the ground that will allow me to wear out some shoe leather in the traditional way.
Then again some of the major players in the Ibrox saga are also Furth o Scotland.
For example, take Mr Alastair James Johnston.
He is a very fine fellow and, for the avoidance of doubt, despite his North American domicile Quintessentially British.
I think he would be fascinating to interview about his role in the events that saw the original Rangers granted a licence to play in Europe on that club’s final season of existence.
Your humble correspondent has an extensive list of forensically precise questions for him on that important subject.
Of course, if I were to be granted the opportunity to interview him I would do so with a degree of caution.
Just to keep on the right side of things you understand.

Excellent Sir! Just Excellent!
It would be wonderful wouldn’t it? Even imagining it is exciting.
Phil: Thank you for agreeing to this interview Alistair. Can I call you Alistair, Alistair?
AJ: Of course Phil I’ve nothing to hide! Can I peruse your questions first Phil?
Phil hands over the questions and AJ studies the sheet
AJ : What the fuck is going on here ? All these questions are about Sevco,sorry I meant the Rangers, sorry again I meant Rangers, and my minor involvement with them.
I thought you were here to talk to me about my golfing involvement.
Anyway, I didn’t know anything about the shenanigans at Ibrox. It was two other big boys wot done it.
One limped away and the other slithered.
Phil. : Aye Right Alistair!
If only Carlsberg did interviews.
I would pay good money, not Sevco money, to see that.
Thank you Phil.
Phil,
I read an article the other day saying that Alastair Johnston is back on the rangers board but has not passed as a fit and proper person by the SFA ? how can this be allowed. Also what about Dave King how did he pass (if he did) the fit and proper person criteria ?
Hi Phil.
If you need any legwork done in the Glasgow area I’d be more than happy to help out.
Keep up the good work.

Phil as much as I’d absolutely love to read about that proposed interview,I think the chances of your request being granted are around the same odds as sevco winning the Champions League.
Grand piece excellent work,very busy man today Phil.
