Rangers fans knee in prayer

capt_buzzard · 05-31-2005, 03:29 PM

A small church in Scotland has become a place of pilgrimage for Glasgow Rangers supporters and fans after the club's central defender dedicated his team's victory in the Scottish Premier League to the healing power of prayer.
Dozens of Rangers supporters turned up at the Zion Praise Centre in Kirkcaldy, Fife, in eastern Scotland, to pay homage to Marvin Andrews, the centre-back who overcame a career threatening injury to help the team to win the SPL championship 10 days ago.
Marvin Andrews, a lay preacher at the church, claims that prayer has allowed him to recover from his injury without medical treatment.
The ''Miracle of Marvin's Knee'' has astounded doctors and is been described by Alex McLeish, the Rangers manager, as ''defying logic''.
God works for those who pray and ask for help.

That's a good one-a protestant miracle. Does this mean god no longer supports celtic?

I was really hoping he would have something better to do, but what the hell, if god gets his jollies by helping some team win at soccer instead of providing world peace or helping the homeless, who am I to argue.

Perhaps the RT Rev Ian Paisley had a hand in it
