If there was a Champions League for staunchness there would already be a trophy on its way to the Blue Room, at the top of the marble staircase at Ibrox.
On matchday 2 they managed to get their game put back 24 hours to allow for additional mourning ahead of a 3-0 home defeat from Napoli.
Last night the People were out in force at Anfield to watch another embarrassing performance as their red, white and blue heroes made in three matches on the bounce without a point or a goal.
Liverpool barely broke sweat, Virgil van Dijk strolled through the match but in one corner of Anfield it was all so happy and glorious.
Rangers stats after 55 minutes:
– Renditions of the national anthem: 3
– Shots on goal: 0— Paddy Power (@paddypower) October 4, 2022
It’s an English team playing a team thinking they are an English team.!!!

The limitations of the Europa League runners-up were badly exposed, an out of form Liverpool scored in each half as they tried to get over their indifferent domestic displays.
In a week’s time they get to do it all again, at Ibrox things will be even more staunch as their team gets more and more detached at the bottom of Group A with even a Europa League spot looking out of reach halfway through the campaign.
