Steven Gerrard has claimed that flag day would be at Ibrox this weekend IF football matches only lasted 86 minutes!
The Ibrox boss has cut an increasingly desperate figure over the last week as the grim reality of his club comes into focus.
Last Sunday he said that he wanted Alfredo Morelos to face the Scottish media for the first time as he grew frustrated by constant speculation linking clubs with the 12th best striker in Colombia.
Thursday’s 0-0 victory over Progres Niederkorn was described as a grind as the former Liverpool youth coach blamed the match ball, the grass and the temperature in the dressing room for his side’s display.
Yesterday Gerrard was in front of the cameras again to preview the new season and gave The Sun a unique insight into last season’s clean sweep of failures.
Having analysed last season, if the games had finished after 86 minutes we’d have won the league. That’s the brutal truth. So we have to be better in our game management and when we get ourselves in a decent position we have to find a way to get over the line.
This season football matches will again be lasting 90 minutes with stoppage time added for injuries and time wasting.
