- Tav is out, Balogun's only a maybe, Souttar remains on the sidelines and I reckon Hagi must still be laid up. All this and we're up against a side we haven't beaten in our last seven meetings. Happy Clapper New Year!
Happy New Year Eck!! I had no idea you had you own channel always watched you on Gersnet so good to watch again 😊
Happy New Year, my friend. Appreciate you watching my Gersnet rants and thanks so much for tracking me down here and giving it your time. What a beautiful day that was yesterday. What a start to 2025💪💪🍻
Happy new year!
All the best for 2025. I'm a Celtic fan and I watch your channel because it's quality talk about fitba and life. We all have hearts and you have a big one sir!
Very kind, Maurice. Thanks, my friend. Happy New Year to you and yours. It's a big heart attack I'm trying to avoid in 2025😬😀 The diet starts next week🍻
Happy New Year Eck, hope 2025 is a great year for you and the family. love the videos as you know and buzzing to see you back on Gersnet on Friday. The legendary Fat Eck returns, sorry to be a pain in the arse but was it not Kris Boyd who scored the penalty against Motherwell when he put up 6 fingers in solidarity with the legend and my hero Barry Ferguson. I remember that day Le Guen dropped him and I was raging, I was only 16 years old and I couldn't believe he had the audacity to drop our captain so I was very much in team Barry on that occasion. It's a long shot we win today but hope you enjoy the game. Completely agree with you that no matter what it'll always be Rangers for me ❤️🤍💙
Happy New Year, Robert - and such a very happy new year it turned out to be too! Thanks so much for the kind words, mate and for taking the time to check out my vids. Aye, I was showing my age with my Fir Park recollections. Had zero memory of Boydy scoring the pen. Barry one of the greatest players I've ever seen in a Rangers jersey. Sad the way it all ended but nothing can detract from the privilege of seeing him and his brother playing for us and I can't help hoping his nephew joins us one day too. Wee Nico doing a bloody good impression of Derek and Barry yesterday, What a day and I hope you enjoyed every second of it, mate👊💪
Happy new year Eck, Celtic fan wishing you and your family the best for 2025:)
Same to you, sir. Have a guid yin👍
Though the straits be broad or narrow.......once your old man lifts you over the turnstile as mine did in 1964 you're hooked and you just have to ride the roller coaster and never change your allegiance. Another extraordinary podcast. Enjoy the game mañana Alex.
Many thanks for giving it your time again, Albert and, aye, I hope we all enjoy it tomorrow. Never a truer word said about allegiances. You've got a 13 year start on me on attending Ibrox and yours was a damn guid year to start too. Hope we're back to something approaching that vintage again soon.
Happy new year big Eck … Truly the most original podcast style bar none … Just a real gem pouring his vocal heart out …
All the best for 2025 big yin 🤝🔴⚪️🔵
Happy New Year to you and yours, Sonnie you absolute legend. Thanks so much for supporting my rants and raves, my friend. It's truly appreciated. Here's hoping we have some serious on-field success to cheer this year.💪🫡❤️🤍💙
Alec from me and the Bangkok Bears, Happy New Year. Health & happiness for 2025. Gaz
Realism + humour + humanity + entertainment + education + music + movies adds up to the finest fitba' pod on the planet.

@@FatEck1999 Cheers Eck - tho' I prefer to be described as a Scottish gent who resides in Georgia. And generous is debatable - ask my English wife !
@@brianwilson7541 Scottish gent it is, Sir. And my Scottish wife has exactly the same complaint about me😀
Happy new year Eck.Big thanks for the Glenn Frankel The searchers recommendation, thoroughly enjoying it! Enjoying your podcasts! 💚💙
Happy New Year, Joe. Glad you got a copy, sir - aye, it's a really interesting read. Thanks for checking out the pods - always appreciated. And the very movie is on BBC2 right now - nice way to enjoy first "brunch" of 2025.🍻
Great podcaster. Clever man and fair in your analysis. Always a pleasure to listen to these. Have a happy new year and look forward to more in 2025.
A very happy New Year to you and yours, Kyle - very kind, my friend and thanks so much for giving the pod your time and your feedback. Really appreciate that, sir. Here's to a year of derby wins and more!💪🫡🍻
Best Rangers fan channel.
Happy New Year from a Celtic fan.
@@ardakolimsky7107 Cheers, Sir. All the very best for 2025.
Happy New Year Alec! Your pods are always a joy to listen to, even on Rangers bad days, so thank you. 👍 Wish you all the best for 2025 💙
@@AaronRFC Much obliged, Aaron - both for giving the pod your time and the kind comments. Hope you're having a great New Year and here's to a successful 2025 for The Teds 💙🫡👍
Aw the best Alec,with you all the way…👍thanks for giving my dad a wee mention, gone but never forgotten…❤️
Honestly?? We have Jimmy Millar junior on here? That's incredible.💙 Thanks very much for giving my rants a listen, sir. I was just a tad too late to see your father play but he's such a part of the fabric of the club. A legend in the truest sense.
@@FatEck1999 Thanks Alex ,alot more than rants mate,Id call them masterpieces..😉He used to say….” Im no a legend son,Im just a wee guy fae the dumbiedykes……Charlie Chaplins a legend..”.😃.💙

@@jimmymillar9247Thanks, sir. Far too kind. Very much appreciated. And that's a brilliant line from your dad - and, of course, demonstrating exactly the kind of mindset that made him a proper legend.💙 He would have enjoyed that one today. Hope you enjoyed that lovely start to 2025.🫡
@@FatEck1999 Best new year in a long time Alex,what a performance from the team and Im delighted for the manager too.Long may it continue….😉
Great pod I'm a big music fan as well , really intelligent analogies, loved your stories of Walter and his good friend Tommy, I've seen the good the bad and remain grounded football is a fickle mistress. Unity for me as well , best mates are gers men , God bless you and you family in the new year Alec .
And the same to you and yours, Stephen, sir🍻 Thanks for both giving your time to the pod and your very kind comments, my friend. You're absolutely spot-on. Someone said football - or sport in general - was the most important of all the unimportant things and we should never forget that it's ultimately just a beautiful distraction.
Happy new year Eck 🎉.keep up the fantastic pods.
@@stephendeans5417 Happy New Year, Stephen. Hope you're having a great one, sir. Thanks so much for the kind words - hope we're showering them on the team tomorrow💪💙🍻
Happy New Year Alex, it wouldn’t be Rangers if we didn’t have our backs to the wall with injuries and biased MSM as we take on them in next encounter. We are Rangers🎶 never write us off because we will get back on the horse, 3pts and happy crowd tomorrow and hope Liam Kelly has a good old firm debut with a clean sheet too. 🔴⚪️🔵
My hot takes bring all the Bhoys to the yard hahaha i'm creased at that Alec, genius🤣
Great podcast Eck, you have a new sub. Happy New Year.
Happy New Year Eck! This Hoops fan always watches and loves your videos, no matter the results for either of our teams. You cover torch song singers, the dark psyche of the Scottish character, the scourge of sectarianism ( the old divide and rule at work), Pot Noodles and crisps amongst so much more. You loved The Smiths too- respect to you Alec✊️
@@Kubrickesque And anyone with Kubrick in their handle always gets my respect.Thanks so much for the kind words and for giving the pod your time, my friend. No matter how silly oor Morrissey gets in later life, I can never turn my back on The Smiths. There is a light and it never goes out.🤌🫡🍻
Thanks Eck, for your kind reply. Talking of the late great Stanley, I watched Eyes Wide Shut before Christmas. Unfortunately, imo, it has the Mad Scientologist Cruise in it. When did Cruise become Western popular culture 's image of the hero and of masculinity?? However, it was good to see a wee cameo from Alan Cumming of 80s Victor & Barry fame- " he's a Kelvinside Man, buys his fish from a van!!😂
@@Kubrickesque aye, he plays a hotel receptionist or the like, doesn't he. It's not my fav Kubrick film - Paths of Glory and The Shining (of course) nick in front of 200Rea1 for me - but it was certainly very watchable. Wee Tiny Tom Cruise is particularly funny as Jack Reacher who, preposterous as the books are, is meant to be about six foot five and built like a linebacker.
@FatEck1999 😂 So true about Cruise! I love The Shining. On Prime that docu called Room 237 is interesting . It's probably on UA-cam for nowt. Got Barry Lyndon on dvd from Ebay a few months ago , but need to get around to watching it. All the best Eck. Genuinely mean this, if Celtic were to win this afternoon, I hope the atmosphere at Ibrox is not toxic. I am motoring/ staggering towards 60, so I remember Hoops difficult days and never take for granted the good times. More power to ya, man.✊️
@Kubrickesque Barry Lyndon is incredible. One of the most beautiful looking films I've ever seen. I watched it all the way through on my 50th birthday. During the day. That was my wee treat to myself. A few years ago now so, yeah, as ye say, old enough to know never to get too carried away in either "direction".🎬
Happy New Year! Hope 2025 is a great one for you and your family.
I'm so glad you're there with your alternative thinking on why we are where we are and why it's not all on PC but I fear that less realistic voices will prevail and he'll need to go...
@@lorrainemurray7222 And the same to you and yours, Lorraine - all the very best for 2025. Many thanks for giving the pod your time. Yeah, I think a tanking in today's game could be made almost excusable by our injury list but injuries themselves are now being seen as Clement's fault and seven derbies without a win will be a difficult sell to the board, far less the majority of our fans. Big day for PC.
Happy New Year Alec.Watching your wonderful pre match meanderings and enjoying every word here in Fremantle this New Year’s Day All the best for tomorrow but I think my team will edge it
Thanks for all your amazing patter always mate😀
Happy New Year Eck
@@JohnMclean-ew7ym All the very best, John. Cheers, sir.
Eck, Happy New Year and Mony Mair.
Happy New Year Eck & thanks for the fabulous pods, looking forward to more in 2025 in the context of a resurgent Gers surprising us all beyond expectation 💙💥
I like the sound of that, Shanty. Bring it on and let it commence today. Hope you're having a Happy New Year so far too, my friend and thank you so much for giving the pods your time in 2024. 💙💪🍻
Happy New Year Alec. Bit short in defence, sounds like Balogun is still goosed. If so, my guess would be: Butland, Sterling, King, Propper, Jefte, Raskin, Dio, Bajrami, Igamane, Danillo, Cerny.
Probably 1-4, but you never know maybe a sneaky 1-0 with a Leon King header from a corner (incorrectly given and not overturned by VAR of course). 😂
All the love in the world to you and the family!
Happy New Year Eck, thank you for all you do we will go to the game the morn and hope for the best which is a Rangers win, looking forward to your after match pod. WATP 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🔴⚪️🔵🙏
Happy New Year to you and yours, Pete and thank you so much for all the support you give the pod. Aye, doesn't matter how bleak the injury and form, we wouldnae miss this game for the world - team needs our help and I hope we create a winning atmosphere. Enjoy, sir💙💙🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🍻
aye what a game that was mate, keep the top pods coming we love your stuff aye it's all Rangers but the singing, the history all the extra stuff you bring, every one should be listening :)
Just a brilliant listen on a return journey to Dundee today sir! We are due some good fortune soon given our incredible support for this Club through thick and thin! 😂 Amy Irons fast becoming my new Jackie Bird crush! 💙 Daughter of Clydebank legend Davie btw! Will be cheering on the Teds to victory tomorrow - dead rubber or not! Just get into these Bs! 🤣🤣💙💙. Happy New Year you broadcasting legend!
@@andyhillis7158😆🫡 Thanks so much, Andy, you legend of the written word! Hope you and yours are having a great New Year. Loved my three night stay in the City of Discovery during the October week. Hope you enjoyed it's delights today. Yeah, Davie Irons' daughter - I'd forgotten that - so we know she'll have the same stamina for the gig as Jackie B then. Many thanks again for sticking with my mad ramblings and helping keep me sane (-ish) . Aye, bring it on tomorrow. If our defence is all ill, let's just go total AC Milan 1994 Champions League final on their ass. Let's do this, Ted's💪💪💙💙👍
Meant to say - step change crisp ‘love in’ this year was a 6 pack Turkey and Stuffing Golden Wonders! 😂😂 let’s hope we break the hearts of those ‘Bhoys from the yard’ tomorrow! WATP! 💙
@andyhillis7158 Turkey and Stuffing??!! Superb! Again, how did I never see these?? Gonnae keep my eyes peeled in Morrisons - see if I can get them half price next week. Aye, would also like a change of flavour in the Old Firm derby - gone a bit tasteless recently.💪💪💙🍻

Happy New Year Eck. I’m a Bit slow this morning to the pod, skin full last night. One of the wee 💎 we talked about months ago on its way this Thursday. PC is doing the job we need him to do. The paper sellers want it to fail, but we know, we know.
Brilliant’Eck 👏👏👏
Very best wishes for 2025 🥳
C’mon the Rangers ❤️🤍💙
Cheers, M - appreciate you giving it your time as always, my friend and all the very best to you and yours for 2025.
Yup, let's go Teds! ❤️🤍💙
Happy new year. I’m gonna try not be triumphant tomorrow. X
Okay mate. I’ve been having CBT. So I reckon I can keep the triumphalism in check and we can have a decent convo about music and art and politics. Talking real for a minute. I’m in the middle of sending my East German brother in law my fav blues tracks to pass on to my German in laws who are blues nuts. Huns. Beautiful, amazing, smart huns who you are privileged to be associated with. You can attach labels and use words for groups of people but the important part is intention. And context. Well played rangers. By far the better team
Happy New year Eck , I love your collection of Recipe books, Have you tried Spring Onion crisps in your pie's 🧅🥧😋🥳🥃🍀🏆🏆🏆
Eck happy new year to you and family. You really cheered me up last year . More than the fitba.
You … without joking have an excellent singing voice . I used to work in the music industry so I can tell.
Take your glasses off .. put on a wee wig .. suck your belly in and I believe we have a charles aznavour
Tribute act . I could be your manager . x
Happy new year big stuff 🥳
p.s You can’t do spring-onion on the regular though 😲😂
Happy New Year, Daz. Hope you're having a guid yin, mucker🎉🍻
Aye, is the spring-onion a bit dangerous if taken to excess? Thanks for the heads up, sir - especially as I only really do excess😬😩😆😆🍻
@ 🤣🤣🤣 all good here mate and it’s the season for excess so you’re all good 😂👌
The goal in the 2007 game was a penalty scored by Boyd. I checked the exact dates of the games before this year's game at Fir Park and noted that it was just short of 18 years since the 1-0 victory in 06/07. This season's game was right at the end of December and the game back in the day was right at the start of January.
Top info as always, Nick. Don't know why I thought it was Prso - probably coz I loved the big man so much - but yeah the festive period schedule always seems really intense when you look back on it, squeezed as it is around the actual festivities.
Mary Marquis used to live along the road from me. I never saw her looking anything other than perfect, she didn't do joggers, trainers & curlers. She was like royalty.

@tiffer67 ... single?
Happy new year Alec super pod , some sad memories recalled by yourself , we never truly get over the loss of those dearest to us do we?
After yesterday's presser by the unflappable big baldie Belgian , what crisis he claims ? If St Mirren hadn't got those shots on target we would have won , same at Fir Park ...the fans love him ( he claims) , "in that way " ...whatever that means .
All this negativity can be dispelled by working harder and harder and getting better and better ....his favourite go to mantra . Afraid of being sacked ? Not a chance ...whoever gave him that assurance should also be to told to return their jacket and executive tie ( not forgetting the gold key for the board members toilet )
Another year begins , but not much changes ...14 points behind the hoops , don't look at it like that he says , if the opposition hadn't managed to get those shots on target in the past two games we would be fine . The man has just put a whole new meaning to existentialism.

Happy New Year Eck, no pandering from me, it's still, ''The Old Firm Derby'', for me and always will be, the fiddlers may control the fixture computer and the refs department but they'll never control me.
I’m chilled about slurs of any nature. But I would discourage you from being too flippant about child sex abuse. It’s an important issue and it undoubtedly happened within Celtic boys club and the Catholic Church. It happened and is happening elsewhere even still. You can be way more witty about potatoes and rosary beads and nuns and priests. Celtic fans aren’t all “fiddlers”. In fact some of the fans and the players have been victims. Be a shame to further stigmatise some poor fellow human for the sake of a cheap dig on comments section of an absolutely lovely guys rambling podcast. Fat Eck’s mask has slipped so far it’s rattling round his ankles. He hates puddle drinking bastards but we love him more when he plays hard to get.
@@kianmcclure9528 I would discourage you or anyone from supporting a club with such a disgusting and inhumane history.
Happy New Year Eck and Happy (I wish) Birthday to me. Marquis, Smillie and Hytner would be my celebrity hostess Goddess front three. Contemplating their divinity, my mind’s ear hears Clair de Lune and puts footballing enmity into perspective.
At the moment i cant listen to any other football podcasts so much negativity mostly from other Rangers minded ones, i have to agree with every word you have said here. Support means when we win or lose.
@@douglasstrachan8833 Thanks, Douglas. Thanks for giving it a listen again, sir. Aye, there's plenty reason for negativity this season but just as much for cheer - we have to do a bit more circling of the wagons these days, as a support, as far as I'm concerned.
At what point does Eck preview the match, it’s nearly 2nd January and he’s not got to the game preview yet? 😂
Happy New Eck. Keep fighting the good fight. I'll take s mug with a pic of your mug on it and a catch phrase below it. You must be doing something right on here as there are lots of tims commenting now so you must be on your way to converting them.
😅And a Happy New Year to yourself, my friend. Thanks for checking out my in vein attempts to brainwash the enemies of Rangers 😅I think sending out a job lot of mugs with my face on it would count as a terrorist attack, tho. Parcel bombing! 😂
Whoever created Flame Grilled Steak Mccoys should be lauded just as much as Fleming is for penicillin.
😂😂 🔥 🥩
👏👏👌Hundred percent, MultipleMan. Great shout. We should start a Go Fund me for the statue of that bona fide hero. All we ask is that the sculpture is ridged.
@ top 3 flavours of McCoys
1. Flame Grilled Steak
2. Sizzling King Prawn
3. BBQ Ribs (no longer available)
@@multipleman78 THEY DID BBQ RIBS??!! Why was I never told about this??? Salivating emojis all round!
I'm intrigued by Sizzling King Prawn too. Never noticed that flavour either. Is it in a mixed six pack with two chicken and two steak or am i just imagining that?
For me McCoys is always a six pack of flame grilled steak. I turn my nose up at anything else they do, like, for example the mixed six pack of two cheese 'n onion, two ready salted and two salt and vinegar. I prefer those flavours done by Golden Wonder or even Walkers. For some reason I feel the ridge cut ameliorates the flavour of those standards but positively boosts the oomph of the steak.
But now I'm hearing about options 2 and 3 (RIP), I see I've been a myopic fool. WHY DID I DISCOVER THIS ON A DAY WHEN MORRISONS IS SHUT??!!
@ according to their website, Morrisons do a fantastic 6 pack. 2 x Flame Grilled Steak, 2 x Sizzling King Prawn and 2 x Thai Sweet Chicken.
Talk about salivating, that 6 pack is as good as it gets. With BBQ Ribs gone, sliding into number 3 would be Thai Sweet Chicken. A burny burny number but oh so worth it. A wee mint aero to cool the jets after those is a stunning combo.
They seemed to have removed a few flavours from their website. I don’t see Paprika, Chargrilled Chicken, Bacon Sizzler or Mexican Chilli. Shame.
Happy New Year ye bam! 🏴🇮🇪

@@Stewartwf And a super sultry New Year to you too, sir. Let's hope it's particularly hot and steamy between 3pm and 5pm today🥃
@FatEck1999 Hopefullly Alex
But things have been far worse, I remember my dad taking me to a macaroon or chewing gum at ibrox and there was as many people on the park as in the crowd .. then nine league titles and two euro finals and every game sold out at home .. anything can happen on football that's what makes it the beautiful game
Not a bad voice!
We are going to concede but I think we can force a score draw. Phil cannot survive a real humping. He might put Bajrami on McGregor again. Igamane gives me hope we can worry them. Have a great year!
I think in fairness Prso had become somewhat crocked by the the 06/07 season.
Rangers supporter for sixty odd years ain't gonna change now. WATP.
Happy new year eck. See your polluted we tims. Il take it they don't have pods of there own Good thing mind you Clyde would need to cancel Suoerscireboard
that photo behind you eck reminds me of elsie tanner
That’s because it is Elsie Tanner
Yep, Pat Phoenix as Elsie Tanner on the cover of The Smiths single Shakespeare’s Sister
Despite the mirrored pessimism and optimism by the respective sets of fans, rangers have a sporting chance, but only, i suggest, if they drop butland.
If jefte plays left wing he must be a bet to score at big odds.
A picture tells a thousand words they say but joyce might dusagree.
Delirium tremens, which the noble twin brothers, bung ivy and bung ardelon grew ever in their divine ale vats. They garnered the succulent berries of the hop, and they mixed therewith sour juices, those cunning brothers, Lords of the Vat.
Remember to drink irresponsibly.
I’d love to believe this give him time but I think your ignoring that no other manager in recent memory has recovered from being so far behind. Plus there is no confidence
Cast doubt on this and cast doubt on that ...blah ..blah ! What about the expression called the ' old firm ' ? It doesnt exist any more never mind a ' cast doubt ! Its been that way for 13 years now and will remain so forever more until the very end ...
yes but the power of the ready salted , rangers need to accept to see the salt and shake of balance start slow and work to paprika, trying to catch the hand cut chicken and sage of the east will take along time .. reality of new rangers .. sorry love the your content.
