Scottish football was laughing today after another dose of reality was delivered to Ibrox.
A home draw with Ross County is a decent point for any newly promoted side but when that club has the delusions of Sevco reality is a stranger.
Six games into the journey to the top flight it’s not looking like much fun with the magic hat being questioned by the people who hung on his every word just six months ago.
A bang average squad of players with little experience of facing Kilmarnock, Ross County and Hamilton Accies is learning some tough lessons with fortress Ibrox as much of a reality as hover pitches, super casinos and six star hotels.
With the expectations of supporters blown sky high by a close season of spin things are turning nasty as they begin to realise that they have been duped again.
The promises of Mr Murray, Mr Whyte and Mr Green seem to have been airbrushed away with the spin of Mr King, over investment and spending his children’s inheritance, saw a stampede to the ticket office.
Supporters of others clubs have been wise to the hype, with every ninety minutes the pressure grows on the magic hat with a group of players unable to live with the expectations of the fans never mind present Celtic with a challenge for the title.
After today’s stalemate with the Staggies twitter was alive with banter flowing from all corners of the game.
“RANGERS utterly condemn Ross County failing to let us win today. This was a shocking display of sectarian hatred.”https://t.co/KgeB19axW7

Seems it’s out of order the press asking The Rangers manager about Joey Barton. Absolutely fine to ask the Celtic manager about him though

Nevermind @RangersFC at least Dave “Rangers Man” King is in charge, he’ll rectify situation by forking out his own money. Won’t he?

Rangers 1.5 pts per game so far. Only faced 1 of last season’s top 4 but gets 57pts with that average. Last 3 seasons that be 4th, 4th & 5th
