Jonny McFarlane was in full cheerleading mode tonight as he tried to put a shine on packaging up the SPFL title to Celtic.
Fronting up for Rangers Review has been a tough task since launch in July 2021, a month after Ange Postecoglou arrived across the city to set up a brand of football that Steven Gerrard, Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Micky Beale have been unable to halt.
Since November the Rangers Review has been at the forefront of the Beale Revolution, drooling over every comment by the former QPR boss and applying the most detailed statistical analysis for anyone in doubt about the brilliance of the new Ibrox.
Now after three failures against Celtic things are getting a bit tricky, leaving big Jonny to delve even deeper to justify his constant drooling over Beale.
There’s a tactical chink of light there for Rangers. It wasn’t enough but there was a lot of broken elements to this game. As Beale said: “If we cut out one or two mistakes then the semi-final will be really interesting.”

No narrative about it. Celtic were miles off it today. Granted a different press was part of that. But that same press crumbled 2nd half. The narrative of the game should be…celtic atrocious and not 1 rangers player stepped up to take responsibility and get a needed win

With Alfredo Morelos, Ryan Kent, Malik Tillman, Ben Davies, John Souttar and Allan McGregor flopping today the coming weeks will certainly be challenging for the chief Ibrox cheerleader.
