If you don't like parts of it snipped off, I have a resized version:

You can size it down with paint, though it's a bit more guessing than other programs. When you've opened your picture in paint, at the top select image, then on the drop down menu, select stretch/skew. In the top box. you'll change the % to shrink it. For instance, 80% for both horizontal and vertical. The smaller the %, the smaller the picture gets, so you may want to do it at say 80% or so till you get just the size you want.

I used photoshop. I've been getting a lot of experience with cropping and resizing the last couple of years

Basically I cropped as much white space as I could out of it, and then it was something like 103x120 or something, and I just resized it using the resize option..i was able to tell it to use 100px as the bottom #, and it figured the top percentage for me..

If Paint is an old model-t, Photoshop is a Ferrari

hello Cynth and Joseph....ssshhhh...I'm a lurker. Joseph Glad ye got the name o the bunnett right...I remember having an unbelievable stooshy with an eejit in Miltown one year who insisted that it was a Glengary and that I an the rest o the world was wrang in calling it a Balmoral!! but hey it was wednesday afternoon in the middle o Willie Week,and he said he was an ex sodjer boy so he should know...so say nae more...
Cynth were is your foty?

Marcus,interestingly enough the Manager of the Uisge (one o them )supports Rangers,and we play only Irish music on a Thursday(Gruopai Cheoil)Sundays is a bit of a mix but it is predominantly solo singers with their guitars doing their bit.If ye turn up with any kind o footie shirt on ye will be probably asked to leave, which is not uncommon in Glasgow or Scotland for that matter...makes perfect sense although it must hit 90% of the population of the Central Belt whose sole wardrobe seems to consist of either a Rangers or Celtic Shirt(the latest issue of course) it is so predictable and so troooly boring......so if ye visit Scotland and ye see a sign in a pub window"No Football Colours" ye know what it means...,( if I where the manager I would just charge double for the drinks on the premise that the brain cells of said wearers would probably not notice my little hike in the price!!)
I wear on occassion the London Irish Rugby shirts which has as their badge a mixture of the City O London Shield and Irish Shamrocks

I wear a Glengary when I pipe (GHB) for Highland Dance competitions... or did, way back when. The fella is indeed an eeeeeeeeeee-jit, that, or he may have been a few sheets to the wind more than what would be reasonable... kinda like my state of mind sometimes.

I always call them either the " flat hat" or the "pointy hat" to avoid confusion, mainly my own. Oh, and an ex military guy from New Zeland taught me how to put the proper slant on the flat hat that is permanent.
