Thanks for your positive comment I'll second you're response to 'Gorgie Jim' (of 3 whole comments) ... and say well done for your efforts! I went to the cemetery on a few occasions before we played Celtic in the cup final (penalties). I took an age trying to find it, but did so eventually. Let's hop Bobby has a word with the Gods! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
