Do you want me to just repeat what I said again? Because that’s all I feel I can do.
4 points clear isn’t much of an achievement because Celtic had an utterly horrendous start, a start so bad many were already predicting their manager would be gone by Christmas. You can’t just ignore the context here, they were horrendous, but we were spilling careless points too hence our lead wasn’t much at all.
Like I said, he did a great job pulling us up, but I’d expect any semi decent manager to have immediately put a stop to us getting thrashed in OF games, that was all down to the absolute ineptitude of previous managers and their choice of players, none of whom had any business being anywhere near the Rangers manager’s job.
When people try and talk up being a meagre 4 points ahead of a Celtic team who were in crisis, then of course I’m going to talk that down, because it’s a complete misrepresentation of where we were that season performance wise if you just ignore their form. As for the rest, well again, Malmö, huffing and puffing, snide comments in interview, lying to the fans, taking his coaching team and pissing off immediately before a cup semi final and big euro game.
I’m really at a loss as to why some can’t grasp why this is an issue for some fans, in the same way I can’t grasp why some aren’t impressed with being 4 points clear of a Celtic side that was suffering the worst start to a season I’ve ever seen them have. By all means talk up Gerrard’s euro record, at least that’s worthy of all the praise, but spare us the “he left us 4 points clear at the top” chat because it wasn’t impressive.
