Back in July the top team at Super Scoreboard seemed to have a huddle underneath the O** F*** comfort blanket.
The sting had been taken out of Celtic’s title win by a trip to Seville where only a missed penalty from Aaron Ramsey prevented Giovanni van Bronchorst’s coronation as the Greatest Manager of All Time.
Led by veteran Shock Jock Hugh Keevins, hopes were high of an Ibrox title triumph.
An imaginative signing policy had brought Rabbi Matondo, Ben Davies, Tom Lawrence and highly rated Turkish starlet Ridvan Yilmaz to Ibrox, the Turk was drawing comparisons to Andy Robertson and Kieran Tierney in the world of the gullible.

Clearly there is still a lot of football to be played, the first third of the season has just been reached but the early August confidence of the Clyde experts isn’t currently reflected in the bookmaker odds.
Gordon Dalziel gets an honourable pardon, he is genuinely independent, his early association with the old Rangers club has been replaced by an enjoyment of football. If he was offered the chance to watch Ange Postecoglou or van Bronckhorst’s side on his telly he wouldn’t opt for the Dutch Horseshoe formation.
As recently as Saturday Keevins was still dribbling over bad news for Celtic, apparently Dundee United’s second goal was the best news that van Bronckhorst had heard all week.
Kyogo Furuhashi and Liel Abada soon calmed down his excitement level.
