Sevco fans went into meltdown today after watching their side lose 3-1 at home to St Johnstone.
As recently as Wednesday night the Spirit of Walter had been revived to earn a win over Hibs at Easter Road with hopes sky high that the gap with Celtic could be cut down to just two points.
Ibrox was almost filled to capacity for the visit of a St Johnstone team that had lost 3-0 at home to Aberdeen in midweek.
My mate lost his season ticket outside ibrox after game today. He says, if found keep it.

Off twitter for the night. Fuck me. Half our fans want to go to the doctors and split personality disorder tablets. Yes Ibrox kills our players. Because they are shitebag. And you don’t help whatsoever. Simple. Kill All Taigs.

Ibrox atmosphere is embarrassing. Could hear the players shout from the Copland rear.

A miserable 3-1 home defeat to a depleted, struggling St Johnstone side is a new low for this Rangers team. Playing at Ibrox is now a burden to some of these players. Yet again, limitations exposed.

9 home games at Ibrox this season in the league. We’ve taken 14 points. Utterly embarrassing. As were the folk thinking we could realistically challenge for the title this season.

The game started promisingly when Alfredo Morelos opened the scoring in the fifth minute but five minutes later Saints were back on level terms through a goal from Blair Alston.
As the game stayed at 1-1 fear and panic gripped the Ibrox fans as they watched their heroes toil before two goals in ten minutes midway through the second half put the game beyond Sevco.
With no manager in place and a visit to Celtic just 14 days away the pressure is on the Ibrox board to prove that they have a cunning plan in place to lift the title.
