Even the Gullible & Deluded are starting to question motor-mouth Micky Beale.
Up until Sunday lunchtime the former QPR boss could do no wrong, telling the bears what they wanted to hear and picking a fight with arch-hater Chris Sutton.
Every 20 minute media conference was word perfect as the saviour returned, the ‘Brains behind 55’ assured them that all was well, Celtic were catchable and the good times would soon be back.

Even short of their best at Hampden Celtic were too strong for their city rivals, helped somewhat by Beale picking the wrong team, using the wrong tactics and making the wrong substitutions.
The aftermath has been glorious, everyone at Ibrox bar Todd Cantwell and Nicolas Raskin has been slaughtered, some are even questioning why they got sucked in to Beale’s soundbites while he was managing the same serial losers.
Beale can’t help talking but realism isn’t what bears want to hear, the clock is ticking towards April 8 with results demanded, not excuses.
