    I have only really seen footage of him being interviewed and he came across as a nice guy and a gentleman. 51 is too young for anyone to pass on. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

    RIP.

    Credit where credit is due to the Rangers fans today, and all those who have left scarfs and flags at Parkhead. Given what they've been through results-wise and with the Manchester shenanigans, I think it's fair to say that the real fans have shown their appreciation for Tommy Burns in what's been a tough week for them. Excellent minutes applause for him today and great to see all the fans, players and management teams getting involved. :)

    Beautiful Requiem Mass today. Billy Stark was really touching in his eulogy. Big crowds on the streets of Glasgow on a day football buried a gentleman.

    The funeral was beautiful it must be said. As the herse (sp?) drove down the street, the fans applauded, sang You'll Never Walk Alone and threw flags, jerseys and flowers onto the road. Very moving it must be said.

    RIP
