I actually think if they had played him in GOAL, their season may have been a little better .James Forrest has turned into a hybrid of barasi pele maradonna and best whilst hes been out.
Sutton said that didn’t he?We needed 100 million, that was the shout was it not?
Him or that prick Commons mate.Sutton said that didn’t he?
They got a wee fright when Warburton got us promotion and we beat them in the semi final, so they upgraded Doolally to Rodgers.
Then the complacency set in. We struggled in the top division as Warburton was proved to be out his depth and for some bizarre reason we brought Pedro in so they thought we couldn’t get back to a decent level and they thought Rodgers would keep winning everything.
Even when we brought Stevie in they dismissed him as a “youth coach” but we looked beyond that, at the man himself. Whether Rodgers saw what was coming or whether he had just used them to pay the bills until a Premiership job came up I don’t know, but when he left they made the fatal error of thinking the cheap and available Lennon was enough, with Rodgers legacy, to keep their winning run going.
They were too arrogant to look across the city and take notice of what we were doing under Gerrard - bringing the right people in, on and off the pitch, putting a solid foundation in place.
While everything clicked into place here, it was falling apart over there under an imposter of a manager who leaves every club he’s been at in a mess.
I think they thought they would be handed it a second time.Over confidence was that mobs downfall. After been awarded the league last season, they thought it was a mere formality that they would win the 20/21 Title.
Meanwhile, over at Ibrox, Steven Gerrard's blueprint was becoming an unstoppable machine, that not only over took them, but completely derailed them.
No one gets in the way of the 55 Express.
Called our Captain a serial loser aswell the prick.Sutton said that didn’t he?
Yeah, he always wanted it all ways. We were so far behind we shouldn’t ever hope to win but if we didn’t win (even if the win was by means of a corrupt vote) SG and Tav were losers.Called our Captain a serial loser aswell the prick.
So he acknowledged our 54 titles? Even more reason for them to hate him
55 (+7*) vs 45 (+6**)Catchup?
They never caught us in the first place

They played a BIG part in our troubles,John Reid and friends had a field day,I cannot prove it but eventually the truth will come out it always does,but just think about that for a moment s club trying to kill off thier biggest rivals because of what,it was and still is JEALOUSY they would love to be us.
Simply, simply luvleh!!Simply loovleh
Nice wee readThey are a filthy cowardly dishonest club which they and their breed of mhanky supporters deserve each other, I hope one day they get punted down to the lowest tier of Scottish football so we can see how they cope with the turmoil and struggles. It must torment them that Glasgow Rangers never died and that in one season their decade of diluted, deluded,unchallenged success has been laid to waste by their better and bigger rivals who they hate more than they like their own rancid club. Enjoy skulking back to your sewers you vermin shite.
If you're quoting Burns, I'm quoting Shakespeare. "Beware the ides of March."I will be forever convinced that the scam/plot that resulted in Rangers being demoted to the basement of Scottish football, was hatched in part order to break us financially.
The thinking went along the lines of - if celtic, during Rangers absence from the SPL have unimpeded access to the substantial CL monies that go with participation in that tournament, then celtic will be able to build up a huge financial advantage from which Rangers would never be able to recover. Moreover, even when Rangers eventually do return to the SPL, they are unlikely to be in a position to seriously challenge celtic for several years - indeed, if ever. The in-built financial advantages this situation conferred on celtic would enable them to acquire superior quality players thus cementing their on-field dominance. It was a shrewd, clever scheme, that would likely ensure celtic piling up triple trebles in perpetuity
But in the words of the great bard - “...The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft a-gley....” And so it was to be with the bheasts. After a few initial stumbles and blunders, Rangers drew the equivalent of an inside straight - they persuaded Stephen Gerrard - one of the great midfielders of his generation, admired and respected throughout the football world - to become the new Rangers manager. At a stroke, the situation was transformed. Gerrard's presence, coupled with the heroic efforts of Dave King to sort out the clubs finances and administration, breathed new life into the Rangers corpse, and suddenly we saw the undeniable signs of a rebirth.
What we couldn't see or anticipate was how quickly celtic would fold at the first serious challenge they had to face in a decade. With Gerrard at the helm, celtic folded like a cheap suit. Who could possibly have imagined that the league title would be over by mid March? Yet here we are, it is Rangers that are cruising along, setting new records on the field, and gaining new respect off it in the wider football world, whilst celtic are in turmoil, managerless and rife with player discontent.
What a year!!!
What makes you think that?You really don’t like them very much, do you? Lol.
Let’s ram every last word, dig, snidely remarks back down their throats, get all the hype from their media lapdogs highlighted as wellCalled our Captain a serial loser aswell the prick.
with them. Their arrogance has contributed to their downfall.
That pleases me immensely every time I think about it.
Isn’t it marvellous
Actually I believe they had a two-pronged strategy in mind. The first option was the one I described where Rangers would be locked in perpetuity into a position of financial inferiority to celtic, unable ever to match them in the quality of players they signed. This would lead inevitably to option two - their REAL objective, which was : after winning the SPL 10-15 times or more on the trot by huge point margins, they would petition UEFA and the EPL to make a one time exception and permit them to switch leagues, using as justification the lop-sided, wholly uncompetitive nature of the SPL, which celtic clearly had 'outgrown'.If you're quoting Burns, I'm quoting Shakespeare. "Beware the ides of March."
I actually think the whole Fullarton/Reid scandal got away from them. There is no way they wanted Rangers all the way down. Yes financially "nailed to the floor" but only one league down and financially hamstrung. Don't forget how much they lost when we weren't in the league. Their 2 or 3rd tainted title was with several sections of their stadium closed down. Their militant supporters, emboldened by Lennon's antics and then made powerful by the empty seats elsewhere, would ensure that the club became more and more anti-Rangers.
The only wrench in that particular machine, is their lack of ability in Association Football. Every year in Europe got progressively worse, they never really pressed home their free hits at the CL. Eventually they had to punt any decent player they could to keep the books balanced.Actually I believe they had a two-pronged strategy in mind.

Had Gerrard not came on the scene, and they won their ten-in-a-row, and then embarked on yet another ten-in-row campaign, Reid, Lawwelll, would have gone all in for game set and match - to get celtic out of Scottish football, leaving Rangers behind.
Thing is Grigo, they are still absolutely deluded. On their board, one mentalist says that to be a good team, you have to have beaten a good team.FUNNY !!!!
But this has been the difference, as you say.
Not only scientific & development based management by Gerrard & his team, but also picking up great professionals such as Davis, Jack, Arfield, etc for more or less nothing, we have been astute in our procurement.
And that’s before you think about what we will get in the years ahead for Morelos, Kamara, Kent, Aribo, Patterson ?
It’s been over since November, welcome to the party!I will be forever convinced that the scam/plot that resulted in Rangers being demoted to the basement of Scottish football, was hatched in part order to break us financially.

Thing is Grigo, they are still absolutely deluded. On their board, one mentalist says that to be a good team, you have to have beaten a good team.
Other guy in the conversation was mildly objective with his views on us, the mentalist continued ‘name a good team’ but he left the best for last saying we are ‘only a team of ageing pros who are well drilled’. I was so tempted to set up a fake account and ask the weapon what ‘good team/s’ have the rattlers beaten since they tried to kill us. His own argument means his own team are not a good team, absolute spangle.
They honestly think they are wiping the floor with us next year, they are absolute crackpots and their arrogance knows no bounds.
Lol !! I don’t either btw.What makes you think that?
with them. Their arrogance has contributed to their downfall.
