Note: In May 08, Rangers and sycophants in the media riled against "Injustices" done against them in that the SFA & league would not lie down to them and rearrange fixtures to suit them in the UEFA cup, shame they didn't try to help us out (see below), else we might then feel sympathy for them (if ever):
Kop spy storm(2003) (the sun)
By ANDY DEVLIN

LIVERPOOL have been caught up in a UEFA Cup spy storm ahead of tonight's clash with Celtic.

The Kop kings were sent video tapes of Celtic in action - by deadly Glasgow rivals Rangers.

Gerard Houllier's side face Martin O'Neill's men at Parkhead in the first leg of the quarter-finals.

Our photographer snapped a courier delivering the tapes to Liverpool's East Kilbride base at the posh Crutherland House Hotel. The package is clearly marked for Alex Miller, a Liverpool coach and former Rangers star.

Miller is a close friend of Ibrox marketing executive Sandy Jardine, who organised the delivery.

An Ibrox insider said: "The tapes were of recent Celtic games and they were sent to Alex Miller."

A Rangers spokesman added: "Sandy Jardine and Alex Miller have been friends for 35 years and Sandy did send a package to Alex, the contents of which remain private."

Earlier, Glasgow-based Eagle Couriers had picked up and signed for the parcel at an Ibrox reception before heading off to Liverpool's hideaway.

The dossier was collected at around noon and then driven the 10 miles to the Crutherland House Hotel by an unsuspecting driver.

The employee was happy to pose for our photographer.

Rangers also helped out Blackburn when they played Celtic by offering Rovers their multi-million training complex at Murray Park.

Jardine played alongside Miller at Rangers during the '70s and the pair have remained close.
