When he watched his side celebrating a victory at Celtic Park in December Tom Miller’s voce hit the high notes.

Amazon just delivered & driver had a Celtic Trakki top under his Hi Viz. Being New Years Eve I really felt obliged to give him a tip – “ get yer Dosh on the Teds for the title son ! “ That covers it !

Six weeks later the mood is one of abject despair. The favourable fixture list has turned into a nightmare with points dropped to Hearts, Aberdeen and Kilmarnock.
After leading well into the second half at Tynecastle and Rugby Park Gerrard’s side finished pointless as their bottle was questioned in public.
The sheen from the new year and holding the upper hand in an ‘Old Firm’ title race has been destroyed by Liam Boyce, Stephen O’Donnell and Eamonn Brophy.

Having repeatedly slammed his players Gerrard has to turn to the same men to dig him out of a hole. Anything less than full points against in-form Livingston on Saturday and Gerrard will discover that his Anfield status doesn’t carry any more weight inside Ibrox.
