Back in the summertime there was hope in the air at Super Scoreboard with Mark Wilson the only dissenting voice.
Ross Wilson had launched his player trading model with the Europa League finalists set to bounce back from letting Celtic through to steal the title while Gio’s brave lads were doing the nation proud in Europe.
What could possibly go wrong when you add Ridvan Yilmaz, Rabbi Usain Matondo, John Souttar, Tom Lawrence and Ben Davies to the tried and tested stars that had won two trophies in the previous four seasons?
Connor Goldson had resisted more lucrative offers to move to the EPL to stay on at Ibrox with Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos committed to chasing the Champions League dream.
Not one reasoned football fan would have predicted Rangers at the start of this season, yet all but 1 here did.
The only acceptable time in recent history where Rangers would have been remotely favourites, were the Summer that Ange had just joined.

Hugh Keevins, Gordon Dalziel, Andy Halliday and Roger Hannah all shared their wisdom about the game, doom for Celtic effectively after last season’s smash and grab.
Hannah went as far as tipping Souttar to run away with the Player of the Year awards, once he gets around to his second appearance of the season that judgement will be tested.
