Ahead of matches against Motherwell and Ufa Steven Gerrard has insisted that he’s not obsessed by Celtic. Again.
The Sevco boss has been given the hero treatment not seen since Graeme Murty led Sevco to Scottish Cup wins over Ayr United and Falkirk as the gullible celebrate their second revolution of the year.
Allan McGregor has been an inspired signing behind a new look central defence while captain James Tavernier charges up the park in search of glory ad an England call up.

“I haven’t even thought about the Old Firm game, I’m not obsessed with Celtic,” he told the Daily Record. “I am more obsessed with being successful as the Rangers manager.
“I could lose every Old Firm game I go into and still win the league. Why should I be obsessed with them?
“Let’s be candid and honest about it, it’s THE game up here in this league.
“All the media and the public magnify it, whether you win or lose.
“If you win, you’re the best in the world. If you lose you’re the worst in the world.
“I understand that and I get it. I signed up for it, I’m in but I’m not going to buy into this obsession with Celtic.”
Gerrard has been looking for a left sided central defender for more than a month without any help from Dave King.
With no money coming in from the Hummel kit deal the South African based criminal is hoping for the green light on Friday for a new share issue after promising Gerrard £6m from a share issue in June.
