    God forgot he was available. Would anyone want Parker in front of any of their existing manager/Coach, so why would Rangers want him in front of Beale

    If he wants to go to a nasty, sectarian club who discriminated against people for 70 years based on their religion, he is welcome.

    I hope he stays but I won't lose any sleep if such a club floats his boat.

    Constantly, really gets their goat. With a couple of Celtic fans tomorrow, they are even easier to wind up <laugh>

    Did get an interesting story from one of the older guys today - he went to a friendly against us way back and said Rodney Marsh kicked the hell out of one of their star players, and there.may bave been a punch up to. It must've been a big deal as the game had been televised back up in Glasgow....anyone know nnything about this or was there?

    I was there. It would have been 1969, I reckon. I think the Glasgow player was Willie Johnston and my recollection (possibly embellished with time) is that he hacked Marsh down and wasn't penalised. Marsh chased him down, floored him with a tackle, picked him up, nutted him and walked off the pitch before he could be sent off. It finished 3-3, I think.

    Found this on the QPR Report board...

    EXTRACTS FROM : MATCH REPORT

    75 mins : Rodney Marsh Goes Berserk.
    So far a really entertaining game, played in a good spirit despite the fact that both teams were working hard and playing competitively. A thrilling finale is set. Then… Kai Johansen attempts to slide tackle Marsh on the ‘Ellerslie Road’ touchline. Marsh’s dummy is too clever for him and he follows through. A bad but unintentional challenge. Both players tumble to the turf. Marsh then lashes out with his feet. He rises and continues his attack. Fed up with kicking him, he shakes him and throws a flurry of punches.

    Other players rush to the incident and Bobby Watson of Rangers is quickest to reach the scene. Marsh turns his attentions away from the now prostrate Johansen and headbutts Bobby Watson in the face.

    Eventually a fan, a photographer, 2 QPR officials plus a nervous looking linesman restrain the hysterical Marsh. The fan and the photographer deserve huge credit for intervening in a situation which was not theirs to deal with as the police and referee were perfectly happy to sit this one out.

    Does the referee send him off? No. He merely wags his fingers and delivers a lecture to Marsh.

    You would think that with hundreds of good Metropolitan Constables specially drafted in for fear of violence, one of them may have just witnessed an assault, not one does but they seem rather more interested in the Rangers fans voicing their fury at the appalling double assault.

    For the moment I’ll leave you with the thought that John Greig and Willie Henderson might with hindsight have signed their newly ‘unemployed’ chum Ken Buchanan for the day – Mind you thank goodness, Marsh did not attack Willie Johnston. They could have sold out Wembley if he had.

    Meanwhile the hapless Rangers physio has his work out as he simultaneously tries to treat both players.

    Amazingly, once play restarts, Marsh bursts through powerfully and Gerhadt Neef dives bravely at his feet to save a certain goal.

    To his credit, Les Allen then removes Marsh from the field replacing him with Frank Sibley. Whether his motive was to punish Marsh or protect him from any retribution it was a very good decision. It goes some way to assuaging the anger of the Rangers fans who raise a large cheer at his departure

    Hmm, I didn't get much right, did I? It was 53 years ago, though. I do remember that there was a massive Glasgow contingent in the crowd.

    If we put a big compensation amount in his contract he could be worth more than most of the players
