BBC Scotland go the extra miles with Ibrox feel good stories

BBC Scotland don’t hold back when it comes to inventing good news stories from Ibrox. 

Commercial publishers know their market and come up with stories to appeal to their readers but with no such restrictions the sports team at BBC Scotland simply wade in to the good news coming out of Ibrox. 

It seems that the search for the new manager of Hibs isn’t much of a story, the owners of Hibs and Aberdeen both gave interviews yesterday but the big deal for BBC Scotland gossip is that the Daily Record has picked up a story from Portugal linking Antony Alves with Ibrox. 

If you don’t know who Alves is he is the Brazilian ace starring for Arouca who won promotion to the top flight this season. 

Slightly contradicting that scoop the BBC also reveal in a different story that the Ibrox club have advertised for a ‘transfer specialist’. 

He’ll need to be some specialist to bring in players based on the money spent during the last three windows. Perhaps the BBC could follow up on the progress of £37m starlet Amad Diallo whose career went downhill rapidly after scoring on his debut away to Ross County.

Top tip- late April is a bit late to begin transfer preparations for the summer window.

The second feel good story relates to an English Championship goalkeeper likely to join Spurs when his contract expires rather than move to Ibrox (as he has been linked). 

On the subject of contracts there doesn’t seem to be much gossip over new deals for Scott Arfield, Steve Davis, Allan McGregor, Leon Balogun or Connor Goldson. Never mind Alves is apparently as good as Diallo.
