    Aye. We're all fine with a footballer getting a statue so why not have a statute of one of Glasgow's most beloved?

    Aye it's a good shout. A statue with the banana boots would perfectly sum up the Glasgow/Scottish humour. Would turn into a bit of a tourist attraction too I reckon.

    * it, build it as big as the Eiffel Tower or statue of liberty, we would be able to afford such a monument if our north sea oil money was not getting sent down to London.

    Can anybody name the rest of the statues in the square? I think we should erect a statue for the Big Yin. Why not?
