What a (insert every curse word possible) day for Scottish football. Within the space of a few hours, Rangers lost the UEFA Cup Final to Zenit St. Petersburg, and Celtic coach Tommy Burns lost his battle with cancer.

Appropriate then that it’s grey and chilly today - football is not a matter of life and death, it’s much more important than that.

Of all the tributes I’ve read to him today, this one spoke to me the most.

When he was let go by Celtic in the 1990’s he was offered the opportunity to leave by a side entrance and he, rightly, refused instead walked out the front door with his head held high.
