Honestly, I don't see too many matches there that could really be comparable to Sunday.
More than that, I definitely don't see where the "Rangers are now Tommy Burn's Celtic" comes from.
We were rotten at Ibrox in September and got beat because we played so poorly.
Sunday was a bit of a shocker but it's WAY too early to contextualize that in the grand scheme.
We are capable of going there on the 29th and winning.
We won't be favorites but we are definitely capable.
It's too early to judge these kinds of things.
We go there on the 29th and win and suddenly all of this changes.
The "Tommy Burn's Celtic" comparison is not only way off but it's too early to make such a comparison anyway.
On top of all that it perpetuates the bullsh!t narrative that our 7, 8 and 9 in a row teams were somehow undeserving or lucky which is complete and utter nonsense.
