Is the Baw Burst?: A Season in Division Three
As season 2012/13 draws to a close, the talking continues. League reconstruction is high on the agenda but consensus is a long way off. Rangers are rebuilding whilst others fall by the wayside. More upheaval is a certainty but one constant remains ? the followers of Rangers.
A Season in Division Three follows on from Is the Baw Burst? Volumes 1 and 2. Hyslop continues his journey to get to the root of the problems that are damaging our national sport. From the ticketing shambles at Elgin to the farcical no hot drinks at a freezing Forthbank, he gives the views of the fan on the street.
Iain Hyslop Iain Hyslop is a football fan and has been all of his life. From as early as he can remember, he has been obsessed with the beautiful game and this obsession continues unabated to this day. Neither the glorious failures of the national team nor the usual disappointments for the club sides in the annual European sorties have dimmed the enthusiasm. He has followed Scotland and one of the Old Firm clubs since childhood and is a fully paid up member of the Scotland Travel Club. Born in Glasgow, in the year the Old Enemy won the World Cup, Iain grew up in the east end and served an apprenticeship in Govan Shipbuilders on the Clyde. Nowadays, he operates as a Health and Safety professional for one of the UK's largest construction firms and is a tutor at Strathclyde University. He lives in Prest-wick with his long suffering wife Debbi (she hates football) and their two Tibetan Terriers.
