‘Charles Green Had a Dream’ – Sheepies display ‘nail-on-head’ banner at Ibrox yesterday

It was a day of celebration for the hard of thinking over at Ibrox yesterday.

As the hordes celebrated 150 years of unbroken entitlement and bigotry – after all it certainly can’t be the continuation of anything else – the travelling support have outshone a collection of red, white and blue bin bags and a collection of suspiciously stained bedsheets, with a banner of their own.

Sometimes it’s the simple things in life that have the most influence, and while the Ibrox support try and celebrate their gallant pioneers and the four lads who had a dream, the one that extinguished in 2012 forever, the Dons support brought the celebrations back to reality with a subtle but far more impactful message of their own –

It’s a timely reminder for the supporters filling Ibrox today that everyone in Scottish football, and not just the Celtic support, knows the cold hard truth.

You can dress it up any way you want. You can employ a compliant media and you can colour your stadium with any type of celebration you choose, it makes no difference. When it comes down to it, you simply can protest too much – and Aberdeen fans yesterday served a timely reminder that history isn’t just how you choose to portray it.

The cold hard facts are liquidation is not something Scottish football will forget nor choose to have dictated to them as administration, demotion or any ‘journey’ from relegation back to the top flight.

Charles Green did indeed have a dream, and it was a most profitable one on the back of the gullibility of those pretending to celebrate a continuation myth yesterday – deep down they don’t believe it you know – and Aberdeen’s travelling support certainly called it out.
