If you want to back a loser then Dan is certainly your man. Big Dan McCroskrie that is, the scaled down Murdo Fraser, screaming for attention from the Gullible & Deluded while failing at everything he turns his hand to.
Bathed in the Union Jack of the Scottish Tories he has failed to win a council seat in South Ayrshire and Edinburgh.
As a political commentator he got no further than a column in the Scottish Daily Express who pulled the plug last November.
Best of all he is a Season Ticket holder with a club swamped in anger, delusions and bitterness with just two trophy wins in the last decade.
Here we have Dan McCroskrie, a Political Journalist for Scottish Daily Express.
He has enabled the rightwing lunatic fringe with this dangerous rhetoric, which, has led to the endangerment of a mans family. These people have a responsibility. Disgraceful.@DanMcC1990@ScotExpress pic.twitter.com/zJECt64wNa— Swed (@Swedleypops) April 11, 2023
Although not born at the time there is one achievement that pains big Dan more than any other, the one that Dave Murray failed spectacularly to emulate before accepting a pound coin with death inevitable.
With each passing season the Lisbon Lions grow in stature, Scotland’s greatest ever football team, the greatest achievement in Scotland’s football history.
Seeking comfort after taking one point from two matches against the third best team in Limassol ought to be followed by keeping a low profile but logic rarely features in the thinking of a hurting bear.
Big Dan couldn’t resist, 56 years on from lifting the big cup in the Portuguese capital Jock Stein and Billy McNeill are still dominating the Scottish landscape.
They played about six games and beat teams like Dukla Prague. Rangers getting to the UEL final was a bigger achievement.

Dukla had won 5 of the last 6 Czechoslovakian titles & beat Anderlecht & Ajax before facing Celtic. Celtic beat 5 defending league champions. Rangers finished 2nd in a 2nd tier competition where 5th & 6th place teams from certain leagues qualify.
Sit this one out.

Love this one. You come at it like Rangers existed in a vacuum.
If it was so easy, why did Rangers never even make the final? Celtic were in the final again 3 years later. Semi finals multiple times. You followed it up with 0 points in the UCL and a defeat and draw to Limassol.?— Swed (@Swedleypops) December 2, 2023
Your old club couldn’t even win the league to qualify for the EC. They only won the ECWC by getting through the back door as runners up to us in the Scottish cup final.

If it was that easy, why did rangers get beat 12-4 on aggregate in the semi final a few years before we won it. Guess what that’s another record for the biggest aggregate defeat in a semi finals ?

You’re a ‘journalist’ Dan , so you must know Dukla beat a very good Ajax team to meet Celtic. An Ajax team that thrashed a very good Liverpool team . Trying to downplay the biggest achievement in Scottish football history smacks of jealousy and bitterness ?

If “ Father Clancy” shouldn’t be allowed to officiate Sevco games then “ journalist & political figure” Desperate Dan shouldn’t be allowed a platform to spew his obvious bias, absolutely zero self awareness, but then, Scottish media is full to the rafters with pundits & journos incapable of objective opinion due to being hate filled for reasons most probably couldn’t explain.
Literally anyone could do what they do, no talent required.
Editor: Even the Scottish Daily Express dumped Desperate Dan, more than a year ago.
Tell that FAT SPECKY BIGOTED BASTARD to head to Shettleston yes Shettleston that’s a place that the BIGOTS aka Tories get elected on to the Council.
It’s in danger of happening everywhere Scud…
Working class Sevco Huns voting Tory a party that’ll have their kids working till 75 before they reach pension age –
A normal worker here has done it and I’ll never understand why…
Does he not understand that there are plenty Butchers Apron loving candidates all over Scotland in The Labour and The Lib-Dems –
And that both parties are Butchers Apron lovers anyway !
SNP all the way for me…
Or even better if there was a Scottish Sinn Fein to vote for !
I wonder how he copes with wakening up every day to an Irish sounding name !
Oh Danny Bhoy the pipes the pipes are calling you. A bitter and twisted man. Very sad.
I remember a few years back, a bluenose acquaintance describing 25th May 1967 as “A daily kick in the haw-maws to every Rangers’ fan on the planet.”
It still gets on their nerves. ?
So does the events of 2012, when their club died. Hence, their living in perpetual denial. ?
Hail Hail.
