Quite how a Portsmouth fan and a sometime Glasgow Rangers fan found themselves at Reading's Madejski Stadium to witness Pompey roll over and have their tummy tickled is a story almost as convoluted as how their respective clubs have become England and Scotland's 'crisis clubs'.
So leaving aside the curious experience of being guests at Reading's excellently appointed, out of town football experience, as it's no doubt described in a glossy sales brochure, not aimed at the likes of me, is another story, for another day. But things quickly became even more curious once the game got under way.
