:09:30. > :09:32.that I think the fans have tried to enjoy. They have been to some

:09:33. > :09:38.grounds they would never have envisaged. I think they have enjoyed

:09:56. > :09:59.Warburton get the cash he needs to strengthen the side? All questions

:10:00. > :10:03.for another day. Tonight, for the blue half of Glasgow, it is party

:10:04. > :10:08.time. This I's so-called journey in the lower leagues is over. Rangers

:10:09. > :10:25.are back. Chris McLaughlin, Reporting Scotland, Glasgow.

:10:26. > :10:27.And in the Premiership, Celtic missed out on a chance to turn

:10:28. > :10:36.They could only manage a 0-0 draw against Dundee,

:10:37. > :10:39.extending their lead at the top of the league to five points.

:10:40. > :10:41.Dundee United's problems at the other end of the table

:10:42. > :10:46.weren't helped by a 1-0 loss to Partick Thistle at Firhill.

:10:55. > :10:57.but will be celebrating by sharing a prawn madras with residents

:10:58. > :11:02.Where did your love of curry come from, Margaret?

:11:03. > :11:07.It came from my grandparents. From your grandparents? Did they

:11:08. > :11:11.like Curry as well? They said that they liked it.

:11:12. > :11:14.Well, it's over to Kawser now with the weather outlook

:11:15. > :11:27.Good evening, clear spells for many of us. Quite dry tonight. But at the

:11:28. > :11:30.sunset from one of our Weather Watchers and five. Tonight we will
