John Pat Cunningham was 27 years old. He had a mental age of 10. He missed out on a lot of birthdays because a soldier shot him in the back. If Hutchings is guilty then he must be accountable. "It happened years ago" is not a valid defence as many a German war veteran found out.

For any Rangers* fans popping up on my feed and frothing at the mouth, a proposal for you. I'll happily say that your club is the same one that finished season 2011/12 if you can produce that club's out of administration certificate. Like the one Hearts got (see below). Deal? 😉
