Ibrox fans are waking up more furious than usual this morning.
On the back of last week’s freak show in Eindhoven expectations have risen that their club would be splashing the cash in order to make an impact in the Champions League and to pure put Selik in their place.
Bears have been falling over each other to hand over £180 for Champions League tickets but as each day passed there was barely any suggestion of any new signings.
Ben Davies and Ridvan Yilmaz at the end of July were the last signings with neither player making any impact. Davies has joined Sicknote Souttar in the treatment room while the young Turk is learning his trade by watching Borna Barisic at left-back.
While the Daily Record did their best with stories linking Ross Barkley and others to a dream move to Ibrox the club’s media partners were keeping a lid on transfer tales.
The message being sent out is that van Bronckhorst is happy with the £12m that he was given from the Bassey and Aribo windfalls. Champions League money, £40m the bears were informed, is being used for other projects such as repaying investor loans and Sports Direct.
Out of the seven summer signings Antonio Colak is the only one to have made any impression, just as well as he is the only striker inside Ibrox.
Tom Lawrence scored in three successive games but a knee injury looks like putting him out of action for at least a month- he won’t be featuring against Celtic tomorrow.
After the Glasgow derby the 10 days fixture list covers Ajax, Aberdeen and Napoli. If their goalkeepers are better than the PSV guy last night’s angry bears could turn especially nasty.
Once against Ross Wilson was unable to find a buyer for Alfredo Morelos or Ryan Kent, in January that duo will be able to sign pre-contract agreements as will Ryan Jack, Filip Helander, Allan McGregor, Scott Arfield and Steve Davis.

Ronaldo naymar Messi all on their way to rANGERs….. The year 2050.
Not to worry, by then it will be holograms playing.
à là FIFA 2050 every supporter from every nation can pick their own squad and no borders in place and only funny money required. I’ve heard that the’ve got previous on that front. So do FIFA if truth be told.
William and Willehmina will be able field a team full of Orange men, sorry Nederland players to represent their National team, Engerlund. With ‘TavPen’ the Elder selected as Dead Ball Coach being the tenuous link to the ‘maist successful team in the Wurld’, if you ignore that theFamous Glasgow Celtic, following the World Cup, will be going for 29 in a row with The Blessed Ange still in charge. Well he did say “ We never stop”.
