SIR ALEX FERGUSON spotted an emotional letter he wrote in the '90s in Rangers' brand new museum. The iconic Scottish manager was in Glasgow this week for the opening of the Rangers Museum at New Edmiston House. 4 4 4 Fergie, who spent two years at Ibrox from 1967 to 1969, was given the honour of being the venue's first-ever visitor. Some of the most famed items in Rangers' history are on display in the museum, including a letter from Ferguson. The letter was one Govan-born Ferguson penned to Dick Advocaat after the Dutchman guided the Teddy Bears to a treble in the 1998/1999 season. It read: "Dear Dick. Just a wee note to congratulate you and your players on winning the treble. "I know how difficult it is to maintain the level of fitness and determination to achieve all three trophies, but your players carried out the task wth great style. "Please pass on my sincere good wishes to all your staff. "Yours sincerely, Sir Alex Ferguson." Ferguson appeared to be emotional as he looked at the letter and the rest of the Gers memorabilia. 4 The Ibrox faithful were thrilled that Fergie was the first person to enter the doors of the Rangers Museum. One wrote on X: "Brilliant to see Fergie looking so well, and nice to see him at Ibrox." Another said: "Once a Ranger, always a Ranger."

Moment fans sing iconic song at Stephen Bunting lookalike as they're convinced darts star is moonlighting as a steward
A STEPHEN BUNTING lookalike received an unexpected serenading by Rangers fans. Darts star Bunting has become a cult figure in and out of the sport, in no small part thanks to his epic oche walk. 4 4 4 And his popularity is clearly high in Scotland as Gers fans chanted his name after seeing a lookalike working as a steward during their Scottish Premiership clash with Dundee United at Ibrox on Wednesday. A small section of the Ibrox faithful even sang David Guetta's 2011 hit 'Titanium', which is Bunting's oche-walk song, to the steward. The Bunting doppleganger saw the funny side of the comparison and even joined in on the sing-song. He lapped up the rendition of the Guetta classic, much to the delight of fans nearby. Footage of Teddy Bears fans singing to the steward spread like wildfire on social media. Darts and footie fans couldn't help but comment, with one writing on X: "Amazing lol." Another said: "Stephen Bunting moonlighting as a steward at Ibrox." 4 One remarked: "Brilliant." Another chimed in: "Bunting putting the overtime in at Ibrox tonight." It's not known if the clip of the Bunting lookalike has come to the attention of the Fazakerley thrower, who was dumped out of the Aberdeen leg of the Darts Premier League at the semi-final hurdle on Thursday night. The 40-year-old, however, will likely see the funny side of the comparison and rendition of the iconic dance anthem.

Hennepin Healthcare hosts popular Teddy Bear Clinic on Saturday, May 17, 2025 Taking the "scare" out of emergency care
MINNEAPOLIS, May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hennepin Healthcare is hosting its popular Teddy Bear Clinic in coordination with Doors Open Minneapolis on Saturday, May 17, 2025 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Kids and their favorite stuffed animals are invited to this fun, free event to learn what it's like to go to the clinic or emergency department (ED) for care. What: Teddy Bear ClinicWhen: Saturday, May 17, 2024, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Where: Hennepin Healthcare's Clinic & Specialty Center, 715 South 8th St., Minneapolis, MN 55404. Free parking is available beneath the clinic – the ramp entrance is located at 821 Park Ave S. Minneapolis, 55404. 'We want our youngest patients to feel comfortable when they come to the emergency department,' explains HCMC emergency physician Dr. Anna McFarlin. 'They already aren't feeling their best, so we encourage parents to allow kids to bring along stuffies or any other toys – or a blanket, electronic game or a doll – that will help calm them, distract them, or make them feel safe while they are being seen in the ED or a clinic.' On May 17, Teddy Bears (or other stuffed animals/stuffies) visiting the Teddy Bear Clinic with their owners will be 'admitted' and may receive blood pressure and heart rate checks, injections, stitches, x-rays, or a splint or bandage placed on their paws by real doctors, nurses, technicians, and other healthcare professionals. In addition to examinations, sew-ups and repairs, there will also be important injury and trauma prevention activities, free bike helmet giveaways (while they last), and ambulance and fire truck tours for participants. Along with a dose of fun and adventure, Dr. McFarlin and her team hope to inspire a few of the participants to consider careers in healthcare. 'It's never too early – many kids want to help others. Often kids mention that they want to be veterinarians, doctors, or nurses when they grow up,' she says. 'We love to have those conversations and answer any questions they may have. Seeing us taking care of their stuffies in a friendly way not only builds trust, but it can also open the door to those discussions.' For more than 125 years, Hennepin Healthcare has successfully taken care of critically injured and ill children. That experience makes a huge difference when a child's life is at risk. HCMC is a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center with the right people and equipment in place, ready to care for critically injured children from the time of injury through rehabilitation.

Steven Gerrard in expletive Rangers video vow as emotional ex boss turns air blue and clamps Celtic
The Ibrox hero is out of work after getting the sack at Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq in January Ex Rangers boss Steven Gerrard sent fans wild after a video clip was shared of him declaring his "f**** love" for the club. Talk of a managerial return for Gerrard at Ibrox has never gone away - and the Liverpool legend has added some fresh weight to that rumour with the two pieces of footage shared on social media from a night out. Gerrard is out of work after leaving Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq earlier this year and has stated that he will be in no rush to return to management. But with 49ers Enterprises takeover of Gers at Ibrox almost complete, the incoming owners may look to bring in a high-profile managerial appointment, and some supporters are already calling for Gerrard to come back. The England hero led the Light Blues to the Premiership title in 2021, going the whole season unbeaten and stopping rivals Celtic's quest for 10 in a row right at the death. Gerrard jumped ship to Aston Villa six months later and while things haven't worked out too well for him on the touchline since his Ibrox exit, the former midfield general remains a favourite with the bookies to have a second stint as Rangers manager. And in two clips that has been widely circulated on X, the 44-year-old has once again shown his affection for the club. In the first clip, Gerrard is asked by a Celtic fan to record a short message for another supporter and offers an x-rated response, saying: "Listen Debbie, this f****** mushroom is a Celtic fan. "We f****** love Rangers. F*** Debbie I love Rangers." And in another club, Gerrard goes one step further, shouting: "up the Teddy Bears" after being filmed by another supporter who attempts to sing "You'll Never Walk Alone", a song that is synonymous with both Celtic and Liverpool.
