Slowly and very painfully supporters of the tribute act at Ibrox are realising that there’s a nasty new world out there in 2016.
And the new year starting on Sunday promises to be just as bad, nasty and painful.
Looking at a league table that shows a 16 point gap to Celtic having played a game more wasn’t suggested when they bought into #goingfor55 and handed their money over to Mr King.
Joey Barton’s pay-off has left the piggy bank bare (or bear) with off the radar legal costs coming in March to further stretch credibility and finances.
While the deluded and gullible hold on to the survival myth every week they are watching reality on the pitch with players far far removed from the dark old days of yore.
Joseph Garner is a folk hero for giving it 100% and battering into defenders.
Joining him on the three goal mark for the season is Martyn Waghorn, last season’s Championship goal machine.
To Waggers way of thinking a point away from home at the club in fifth place in the SPFL is decent going.
“Disappointed not to get 3 points v St Johnstone but it’s another game undefeated going into the weekend,” Martyn Waghorn, @RangersFC

For the people drawing with St Johnstone will NEVER be acceptable, never. With that mentality in the dressing room and the delusions of adequacy that are central to the existence of the people a dangerous cocktail is brewing at Ibrox.
Reality isn’t box office, if Waggers, Warbo and Mr King don’t deliver soon it’s not going to look very pretty.
