Ann arrives at the team's hotel in Glasgow, and before long she and Michael are having another argument over her job commitments, which Wes who is rooming with Michael has to listen to. Luis is not happy when Marilyn tells him the police want the team at the ground three hours before the game, and wonders will there always be fear they're bringing a gunman with them each time they travel. Billy hasn't travelled to At Ibrox Ann and Marilyn are introduced, where Ann congratulates her on being a female MD, but to prepare for the slack Karren Brady got. Marilyn jokes it has its advantages with fancying the players, but Lynda and Ann think of their own experiences! Lynda describes how, in the case of her "friend", she was prepared to give everything up for a footballer, but as soon as she got sick she was completely dropped. Lynda's words ring true to Ann, and Lynda offers for them to miss the game for some sight-seeing of Kelly has to drag Billy to the game, making herself late for work in the process. Before the team goes out, Ray gets through to Scott he is in the hole because there is no better man for the job, so to go out and enjoy himself. Lynda and Ann sit down to dinner, where Ann says she understood where Michael was coming from when he flipped at her. On top of the captaincy baggage he gets stick for being middle class. The teams go in 0-0 at half time. Lynda and Ann are flattered when two men chat them up, revealing themselves to be Celtic fans, and how Harchester girls are the most beautiful fans in Jerry is miffed Lynda has gone off with Ann, remarking that he could have been sitting with the directors rather than in the box he got for her. When the two men ask Lynda and Ann their plans, they are told the girls are married to rich and jealous(!) men, and Lynda is recognised as the woman who was shot at Wembley. The men bid them goodbye, and the girls laugh about being chatted up by younger men. The full time whistle goes and as Harchester reflect in the dressing room, Michael blames himself for the loss, while Luis assures him they were good to concede only one goal. When Ray informs Michael Ann is upstairs, Michael makes it clear he doesn't want to see her. Billy stormed off home again during the game, and an angry Kelly turns up at the flat and begins to collect up Notes: The Best: Kelly is right when she points out to Billy that she lost her friend too but does that not matter because she was just a canteen girl? Julie’s life is viewed as less important compared to the four players that perished with her. · Continuity: Ann lists how Michael has to put up with a lot already as a player for the fact that he's not John Black. Additional Info: As the team examine the pitch, Michael and Wes talk about the size of Ibrox Stadium, with Michael adding it's a fifty thousand capacity. The two Celtic fans who chat up Lynda and Ann are uncredited, despite having lines of dialogue. Anyone who knows who the actors are please let us know - @DiehardDT · What Was The Score?: In the UEFA Cup Second Round First Leg, Mols scores for Rangers during the first half but is ruled off-side. A pass from Linger leads to Scott frustratingly hitting the bar. Amoruso scores for Rangers with five minutes to go. A beautiful shot from Moliano leaves the teams almost level. Rangers with the lead will play Harchester at home in two weeks time.
