The reality of the Champions League is turning out to be very painful for Jonny McFarlane and the cheerleaders at The Rangers Review.
Given special access to the Tribute Act, the unquestioning nature of The Review allows Stewart Robertson to get the message out that there is no pot of gold from playing in the Champions League.
Three games with three defeats, no goals and getting the runaround by opponents from Holland, Italy and England has destroyed last season’s myth that Giovanni van Bronckhorst had a cunning plan to cope with the best teams in Europe.
‘But what about Dortmund’ no longer washes with even the most gullible of bears.
Owning up about the realities of European football, McFarlane dips into his thesaurus to tell Rangers Review readers:
It’s tough to properly categorise the Rangers performance last night. The quality of Liverpool is so tangible, so obvious, that every comment must also come with a caveat of acknowledgement to their superiority.
That said, it was painful and draining to watch a Rangers team so palpably inferior to their opponent. Jurgen Klopp’s men are on another stratosphere, of that there is no doubt.
While the glamour of the Champions League is crystal clear, the reality is opaque. While Europe’s elite competition allows you the opportunity to rub shoulders with the great and the good, there’s something to be said for the competitive football on offer one rung down the ladder.
Rangers looked comfortable with whatever the Europa League threw at them. The same can’t be said when Zadoc the Priest finishes.
Liverpool are at Ibrox on Wednesday, a bus parking spectacular is expected with bears paying £60 a pop to see Connor Goldson, Leon King and Ben Davies trying to snuff out the threat of Jurgen Klopp’s celebrated strike force.

Johnny BAG at his best.
A new world record is a mere three games away…

Their pain is just nectar to me, and both versions of *rangers* and their scummy fans are fully ‘entitled’ to their pain. And their TRUE history. Since 2012, Rangers FC IS history.
The SMSM and all and sundry can proclaim “the same club” but us Tims know different, we’re far, far brighter and more honest. Not being a mason helps here.
If in doubt, check it out on Companys House website.
Look for original huns, The Rangers Football Club PLC (but, after sneaky name-change) look under RFC 2012 PLC. That’s the TRUTH. In LIQUIDATION, the original huns.
New company (never been a club except by name) Sevco Scotland Limited later changed to The Rangers Football Club Limited.
Does “sleekit” come to mind? Aye, and so it should. Masonry is a disgrace that would love to have that scum off their ‘books’. They’re not only Scotland’s shame it filters into Europe and beyond.
Peter Thomas Lawwell and Dermot Fachna Desmond could have put an end to this but let filthy lucre, for themselves not us, BLOCK the truth. If/when I call huns scum, I also call Lawwell and Desmond scum too. Because they are.
If Lawwell’s ever allowed back in CP at ANY level, I seek rebellion. Some of us sing songs, songs don’t scare the swine who betray us. ACTION does.
I’d like to know who in their right mind ,decides that its a good idea to employ an obvious and evident buffoon in McFarlane ! For anyone to garner enough information on a CV and then pay this guy a salary for irrefutable incompetent reporting which at best is horse manure , needs their head examined or scanned ! We got more sense from the ‘plastic froggy ,’ from Blazing Saddles ! Ribbit !
