I have to confess, I have divided loyalties -- I would leave Scotland in a heartbeat and move to Limassol if my family offered any sort of support, but my son's favourite team is Rangers ( from Glasgow, Scotland ) and the only reason that they made it through to the last 16 of the Champion's League is because they beat Anorthosis last August. That was a great game, especially because we were watching it 'live' in our hotel, surrounded by Greek Cypriots, on the last night of our holiday, and Rangers managed to win. After the game, we had to pack the car and drive to the airport to return home to Scotland -- but when we landed at Glasgow Airport, my son was astonished to see the whole Rangers team waiting to collect their bags at the same time !!!
I have no idea how to attach pictures to these posts, but I managed to take a picture of my little boy with the winning goalscorer - Nacho Novo - while we all waited to collect our bags .
In all honesty, I'd have been just as happy to see Anorthosis qualify, but , hey, that's football !!!
