    Norse Myths Unveiled - The Gods...

    Norse mythology is a vast and intricate belief system that shaped the spiritual and cultural identity of the Scandinavian people. Rooted in oral traditions and later recorded in texts such as the *Poetic Edda* and *Prose Edda*, these myths offer a glimpse into a world filled with powerful gods, fearsome giants, and legendary heroes. Unlike many other mythologies, Norse myths do not present a perfect and orderly universe but rather one marked by struggle, chaos, and an inevitable end.  
      
    At the heart of Norse cosmology are the Nine Realms, each interconnected through Yggdrasil, the great World Tree. These realms include Asgard, the home of the gods; Midgard, the realm of humans; and Jotunheim, the land of giants, among others. The Norse viewed the universe as a place of constant conflict and transformation, where even the gods were not immune to fate. This belief in destiny was central to their worldview, with figures like the Norns weaving the threads of fate for gods and mortals alike.  
      
    Prophecy played a significant role in Norse mythology, shaping the actions of both gods and mortals. One of the most well-known prophecies is that of Ragnarok, the great battle that would bring about the end of the world. Unlike many other religious traditions that offer eternal salvation, Norse myths emphasize the inevitability of destruction and rebirth. Even Odin, the Allfather, seeks wisdom not to change fate but to prepare for its arrival.

    THE UNTOLD, INSIDE STORY OF MY LIFE AT RANGERS FC AND IN BUSINESS 
     
    Sir David Murray’s life story is a truly remarkable tale of never-say-die triumph over unimaginable adversity. 
     
    For 50 years he has been a towering figure in Scottish business, sport and philanthropy. His family name is synonymous with steel but his rise to power owes as much to mettle as it does to metal. 
     
    At the age of 24 he was involved in a horrific car crash in which he lost both of his legs. As his life hung in the balance, his days in hospital, drifting in and out of consciousness, were nightmare moments but ones that would define him. 
     
    And in the aftermath, when he finally pulled through, he had stark choices to make. ‘I could fight or I could give up,’ he said. ‘Turn left or turn right.’ David Murray almost always chose wisely and has never once shied away from big decisions. This is a man who thrived on the big stage, as the owner of Rangers Football Club during an unprecedented era of success. He won nine league titles in a row, oversaw some memorable European campaigns, all while rubbing shoulders with the likes of Paul Gascoigne, Graeme Souness and Sir Sean Connery. 
     
    He led the talks on the Old Firm clubs joining the English football pyramid, while his sale of the club to Craig Whyte set off a chain of events that eventually saw the club liquidated. 
     
    Now, for the first time, and in his own words, he is offering a deeply personal insight into his extraordinary life and how he courageously recovered from his accident and then went on to become such a successful entrepreneur. 
     
    He also gives us his thoughts on the Old Firm rivalry, explains why Celtic Park wasn’t the most hostile ground in Scotland for Rangers to visit... and describes how he beat world champion Stephen Hendry at snooker!
