MacLeod
(born August 24,
1958 in Glasgow) is a former Scottish professional footballer
who played as a midfielder. He made 22 appearances with the
Scottish national team and played in the 1990 World Cup finals.
MacLeod made his
name with Dumbarton in the late 1970s before moving to Celtic in
1979. During his nine years there he helped win five league
titles, two Scottish Cups and one League Cup. He then moved to
German club Borussia Dortmund, whom he played for 4 years and
103 games. He returned to Scotland with Hibernian, where he
captained the club to a League Cup win in 1991.
After a
successful playing career, he returned to Dumbarton as
player-coach. He guided the club to promotion from Division 2
with a last day win over Stirling Albion in 1995. In the summer
of 1995, MacLeod left the Sons to manage Premier League club
Partick Thistle.
MacLeod's tenure
at Firhill was unsuccessful, as the club were relegated at the
end of the 1995-96 season. He re-joined Celtic as assistant
coach under Wim Jansen, where he helped the club win a league
and league cup double in their only season in charge.
Nowadays he
writes for the Daily Record as well as commentating on football
for BBC Scotland.
Donald Finlay QC

Well what colour did you
think I would use, probably Scotlands most well kent QC's. Former Vice Chairman
of Rangers F.C. and one of the best Karaoke singers in the land. Tickets are at
a premium and this old firm duo should be a star attraction. I cannot find a lot
about Donald on the web.
Thats the thing about the
Vicky you always get a warm greeting from the bar staff, yes two pints of lager
please.
Winners of the Charlie

14 call offs for the Burgh
Cup match on Wednesday so that left us with no option but to cancel the reserve
game. 8 1/2 down overall, No first team game this coming week so this will allow
players an opportunity to get some ties played, Also the committee have decided
to get a meeting in as well.
Well Saturday was quiet
eventful, Gleniffer Thistle held there annual presentation of prizes at the club
on Saturday morning. In the afternoon we had the two bowl singles this was won
by yours truly, and the runner up was Larry McGowan. We had two wrong bias's
from Gary Smyth, where is the photos I here you ask. Guess who left the camera
with all the photos in the taxi on the way home. Yes what a plonker, we will
need to get Gary to pose again with dopey.
The lounge refurbishment is
well under way and our two electricians are getting wired right in, Bobby Finnie
and Eddie Milloy have done outstanding work recently and have fitted new
spotlights to the new roof tiles. Last week saw the telly pack in think we got
our monies worth, thanks to Gerald McArdle who donated it about five or more
years ago.
A couple of years ago it
was decided by the P&D that all cup competitions would be reduced from 10 rinks
to 8, so why are we playing the reserve games on the same nights as the cup
games ?????????????? Strange to say the least
This picture was taken by
Stephen Kerr, Stephen was meant to be playing on our rink but disappeared to
take the photo, what a game he had while he was away.
Q:
What do you do with someone who can't draw, can't roll the jack, can't set a
mat, can't keep the score and won't listen?
A: Make them
a 'Vicky skip'
