Millie’s Cookies have apologised for taking the biscuit and putting a cookie in their store window which appeared to revel in the liquidation of Rangers.
In their Braehead store, one angry punter saw the cookie in question and took severe umbrage with it. It led to a spokesperson for the shop coming out and apologising via the Scottish Sun.
But let’s be honest here, are people that crabbit over a cookie in a shop window? Seriously?

Away from a few voices here and there on social media, it’s hard to tell if anyone is actually being serious about the jibe.
It involved a cookie with a tombstone on the front of it reading 1872-2012, the kind of cringeworthy “Celtic da” patter that’s spawned other classics such as “there is no Old Firm” and personal favourite “can you see the Rangers coming?”
How anyone can get so upset by this is beyond me. It’s incredible that it’s led to an official spokesperson speaking out about the situation, granted, it’s been blown up by the press.
“We apologise to anyone who was offended by one of our cookies and we have removed it from the display,” said the spokesperson.
“This was clearly inappropriate and we are looking into how this incident occurred in order to ensure that it does not happen again.”
Anyone taking real issue with this needs to have a word with themselves.
It’s a pretty woeful attempt at banter, most likely from an employee of the Millie’s Cookies store, that’s all.
Are there Rangers fans out there who’re really this sensitive?
For a more appropriate moan from the club’s support, Gers fans have ridiculed suggestions Alfredo Morelos dived to win the opening penalty in Saturday’s 5-0 demolition of Aberdeen.
