Who doesnât love an underdog? When Brora Rangers played eight-times Scottish cup winners Hearts in March, they enjoyed a perfect David-and-Goliath victory. The part-time team from a town with a population of 800 beat the side with the fourth biggest budget in Scottish football. For their fans, the Highlandersâ 2-1 victory was a tremendous pay-off.
Playwright Gary McNair would understand their dogged loyalty. Produced for David Greigâs Sound Stage series of audio plays, and loosely based on Ron Fergusonâs book of the same name, Black Diamonds and the Blue Brazil is about supporters of Cowdenbeath, whose chant âWeâre shite and we know we areâ reveals a merry acceptance of defeat.
