After three months of upbeat managerial soundbites even Ibrox fans are beginning to wonder if there is any substance to Micky Beale.
Following a disastrous Champions League campaign and crashing miles behind Celtic in the SPFL the Gullible & Deluded were badly in need of soothing words following the sacking of Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
Beale delivered with fans buying in at Warburton and Caixinha levels but the tide changed at 1.45pm on Sunday 26th of February when it was announced that wonderboys Raskin and Cantwell had been left out of the side to face Celtic.
The bright new dawn had been replaced with the return of the serial losers, bottlers and failures.
Always nice to be back @RangersFC training ground in Milngavie today. Even better to spend time with the fantastic people there. pic.twitter.com/7T1oUhx0g0

Beale continued the upbeat banter in his post match media interviews, following a bizarre on pitch huddle as Celtic players and fans celebrated in the background.
McCaw claims to be Building Influential Leaders and Winning Cultures and Mindsets.
Broken-hearted bears in Bridgeton, Larkhall, Bearsden and Kilwinning just want somebody, anybody to stop Celtic rather than seeing their new age manager posing with a shrink.
Last October Beale was mingling with Bears in the Loudon Tavern before watching a game against Aberdeen, it is unlikely he’ll be visiting the drinking dens in and around Paisley Road anytime soon, I fink.
League cup final Allistair. Scottish cup is in May and the big one.

So the shrink has emerged. For the Management, the Board or the Players. Perhaps all three. Definitely for the support. So lost in angst that the smoke and toxic fumes from 55 Taps incineration will create an environmental catastrophe in Larkhall and various other venues throughout Scotland and Norn Island.
Honey I shrunk the huns!
