The glories of a fourth consecutive Close Season Cup triumph are starting to fade as reality makes an unwelcome return to Ibrox.
Either side of a depressing warning that Mike Ashley is due ‘many millions of pounds’ Steven Gerrard’s side have drawn at home with Blackburn Rovers and stumbled to a 2—0 victory over Progres Niederkorn that will hardly have Midtjylland shaking in their shoes.
The Ibrox side should get through the return leg in Luxembourg next week but last night they were short of the happy and glorious form that swept away Oxford, St Joseph’s and Marseilles to further fuel delusions.
A constant flow of good news stories has helped the feel good factor, yesterday Jermain Defoe was revealing that he should have moved to Ibrox three years ago while he fields constant phone calls from former team-mates desperate to join up to the Gerrard Revolution.
Last night’s goals were scored by Joe Aribo and Sheyi Ojo but a blank from Alfredo Morelos won’t have impressed the scouts attracted to Ibrox to watch the 12th best Colombian striker.
As reality slowly sinks in delusions and deflection kicks off after 90 minutes watching Andy Halliday and Ryan Jack toiling against the no-marks from Luxembourg.
