Memories of the Celtic Riot at Fir Park

[Sir_Walter_Timslayer]

Dame Timslayer’s brother is as fine a Bear as you’ll meet but he’s married into a Motherwell supporting family from, would you believe, Motherwell.

And it was he and family that first footed the Timslayer estate at New Year, where the finest of claret (and several other beverages besides) was flowing liberally.

The seasonal greetings over, the chat soon turned to all things Rangers, with a diversion to Motherwell. The Celtic Riot was still headline news in the town, even if the Scottish mhedia had left it alone weeks ago.
