True Blue Andy Halliday will NEVER accept being second best to Celtic (or presumably Aberdeen as well).
The all action former Bradford City ace can’t believe that his tribute act are trailing 11 points behind the Scottish champions who have had the distraction of being involved in the Champions League as well as having played one match less.
Real Rangers man Andy is fired on by the dream of #goingfor55 and making his Champions League debut getting the chance to play against decent teams for the first time in his career.
The midfielder, who was brought up in Copland Road, has replaced Joey Barton in Mark Warburton’s engine room but had little impact on results as Warbo’s side stumble along weighed under by the expectations of fans like Halliday.
“I said the same at the start of the season and I’ll say the same again – and with no disrespect to Celtic – but we can’t settle for second,” he said which seems a bit disrespectful to second placed Aberdeen.
“Don’t get me wrong, Celtic have been fantastic this year, their best start to a season since 2004 (This seems like the new comfort blanket from Ibrox to be mentioned at every opportunity although the start to the 2003/04 season was far better than the following term).
“They’ve been brilliant and sit deservedly at the top of the table but we’ve got to try and secure as many wins as possible and, with it, a bit of momentum to hopefully claw it back.
“We’re certainly going to try to take maximum points in this tough run of games coming up because we’ve not done enough to be in a title race.
“We’ve dropped far too many points, so we need to get momentum back and keep picking up three points and hopefully chip away at Celtic’s lead.”
On Saturday it took a stoppage time goal from Harry Forrester to give Sevco a 1-0 win over bottom of the table Dundee.
