Switching off their TV’s in disgust after the last Glasgow Derby nine days ago Ibrox fas consoled themselves that things could only get better, after all Giovanni van Bronckhorst had moulded together a squad of European specialists.
To say that the last week has been traumatic would be an understatement. The loyal subjects have lost a Prime Minister, their European dignity in Amsterdam, a monarch, a fixture and thousands looking at pointless flight and hotel bookings to Italy next month. On top of that their team has to play Napoli on Wednesday hoping to avoid a third successive 4-0 defeat.
Even Mr Bronckhorst knows what the consequences of that result would be.
Rangers first UCL campaign in 12 years and they’ve been hammered 4-0 in Amsterdam, not allowed fans in Naples and now have to listen to a full Anfield sing about the Queen being dead
