Well, I see this game as a big deal, so I'm actually gonna head to Ibrox to watch on the big screens.
What's everyone else doing ? Watching with mates and having a few ? Heading to Manchester ? Pub ?

Nope, but I'm expecting it to be great fun, and should be miles better than sitting in the house or at the pub. The free buses from Buchanan Street to Ibrox sort of helped me make the decision, because I couldn't really be arsed getting the subway going both ways.

I cant think of a worse evening than being stuck amongst those neanderthals at Ibrox, but hey... knock your self out.

I'm being deadly serious.
I'm not sure that I get what's so wrong with this. It's going to be a great night out which is the point of the whole exercise. Easy enough to get to and get back from. I'll also be heading up with a few Rangers supporters who are not "neanderthals". Should be a good night.
Since my mate has been a complete dick about this..."i'll drive"..."no i wont drive"..."i'll drive"..."I wont drive" so by the time he finally decided he wasn't driving all buses trains etc had all gone and with flights being £250 it was a case of not going. Going to Prague in a few weeks for the Scotland game so can't afford a lot of money of something i could watch on a big screen at Ibrox.
If i get a ticket then i'll find a way of going down, money wont be an object then but looks like Ibrox for me unless David Taylor comes through for me with a wee ticket

Fair play to you but it's one bizarre "great night out" for a Morton fan IMO.
Anyways, seeing as you asked a question, I'll answer it.
I'm working until approx 7.15 then I'm either heading to my mate's to watch it or I'm going home to watch the game in the house.
Definitely NOT going to Ibrox.

Scottish sides don't get into Euro finals a lot, so I feel that I might as well make the most of it. I'm pretty chuffed for the side. I see people on here talking about the supporters, but I've been there once before and didn't have a bad experience at all, but granted, I was a lot younger back then.

I will be in the City of Manchester Stadium watching this one. Got a ticket as I am in the Travel Club. Heading down to Blackpool on my Supporters Bus tomorrow and staying there before heading over to Manchester on Wednesday morning. I am officially very excited. I am at work today, but my mind is most definitely on holiday already.

I'll miss the first half as i'm golfing although i'll be willing Zenit on from the course. Like the Sellick man above I can't believe i'll be rooting for wee Dick and 'Nando. Hopefully Ricksen will still be a man possessed and flying into ridiculously dangerous challenges.

The Police have said they'll allow drinking in the squares but have asked fans not to walk around the city with bevvy opened - seems reasonable to me and as long as we comply they'll leave us alone and let the bars stay open later too
Effectively they're saying they'll treat us as we treat their city

You've really disappointed me.
Don't forget your Union Jack and I hope you know the words to Rule Britania ya fanny.
BTW dont bother coming back to Cappielow ya Glory Hunter.
PS I've just seen two huns filling up at the BP Station in Shawlands with a Union Jack on the roof of their car- both tools wearing ENGLAND tops.
Aye lets all support the

Lots of Rangers fans been getting settled in Altrincham (on the edge of Manc) since lunch time today, I was met with this sight while walking home
Click to view attachmentCity have had all their furniture temporarily replaced for the final. One company spent 4 days emptying the place and will spend another 4 days moving it all back in straight after the final. Same thing happened at Old Trafford for the European Cup final a few years ago, must be some bizzarre UEFA rule...
The local news has been all about the final today, lots of facts and figures about beer, toilets and street cleaners

What's wrong with what he was doing?
FYI, I was brought up a Rangers fan and didn't start supporting Morton till I was 13. I have been a season ticket holder at Cappielow for the past 3 seasons, yet still go and see Rangers when I can and will be at Ibrox tomorrow night. Does that mean I should be banned from Cappielow (and if Morton were to play Rangers, I'd be in the Morton end)? People are allowed to support more than one team, should ThornTON be banned from Cappielow as he goes to watch Aston Villa, or MidTons with Sheffield United?

I have quite enjoyed Forfar pre-season games in the past- being that close to the pitch is quite unreal.
Watching it in The Three Sisters in Edinburgh. It is probably going to be horrible, unless lots of Hibe and Hearts fans are about...
