When I closed the blinds before dinner our street looked absolutely freezing in the dark. The road and pavements are white with thick frost. It was cold when we went out for a circuitous walk to Burnside and back this morning, but it was sunny and pleasant to be outside.
By lunchtime we were all cosy in the front room to watch the Old Firm game on television; the annual New Year’s match between Rangers and Celtic. There was a wreath laying ceremony today because it’s the 50th anniversary of the Ibrox disaster, when 66 Rangers fans were crushed to death on the steps of one of the exit stairways. The crowd was pushing to leave the stadium and then probably someone near the front stumbled, resulting in lots of people falling and being injured or killed. Tragic. As a result the new stadium was eventually built.
The football game went well for Rangers today; they won 1 - 0 which pleased the fans in our household!
