"I'm an orange b..." Bobby Williamson on the sectarianism of playing for Rangers against Celtic - plus beating cancer, managing in Africa, and the funniest transfer he ever did.
Bobby joins Peter Martin, Tam McManus and Jerry McCabe to open up his story: signing his old pal Jerry for Kilmarnock, the Jimmy Johnstone comparison, his Clydebank days with Tommy Coyne, and how he faced down cancer with total positivity. He talks about life managing in Uganda, his Easterhouse roots, and what it was really like to run out for Rangers at Celtic Park in an Old Firm derby.
