It started with Gareth McAuley, continued to Walter Smith and has now descended to Lorenzo Amoroso.
Gavin Rae has made a few surprise appearances into the usual menu from Ally McCoist and Alex Rae. All obsessed and dreading the prospect of Celtic winning a 10th successive title.
McCoist and McAuley, which was at one time a BBC Scotland TV show, have played their part in the current run of success, the talkSPORT regular throwing away a 15 point lead in 2011 while the Northern Ireland veteran made his final league appearance watching Jordan Jones scored twice for Kilmarnock against Allan McGregor in January 2019.
It is almost as if they have a template to detract from Celtic’s achievements to date and warn them about the incredible challenge they face from Ibrox next season. Same old, same old. Joey Barton, Bruno Alves and dozens more have read out the same script.
Steven Gerrard and his flops have been given a free pass for their 2020 capitulation. Had they beaten Hearts, Hamilton and Kilmarnock the 2019/20 title would be up for debate. Nine-in-a-row wouldn’t be getting served up with breakfast.
If Celtic had a four point lead having played one more match with two derby clashes to come the SPFL would never have called the 2019/20 season.
As he sits at home on Merseyside Gerrard will be in no rush to get back to work, every excuse and deflection imaginable is being dragged out when a large part of the failings at Ibrox are in-house at the feet of the Liverpool legend.

What is the actual point. Crawling the planet and puling out has beens and quoting quotes that never happened?

The Rangers team going for 10 was old , tired and done . This Celtic team is young , fresh and still hungry for success. Big difference

The result will be the same next season as it was the previous nine. We will win the league, no club in Scotland is even remotely our size and resources. A few more seasons and we will be catching up with Al-ahly.
