After Wednesday night’s reality check from the third best team in Greece Ibrox fans have been badly in need of a boost, a new deflection.
Following months of hype and spin the Gumtree Galacticos were brought back to earth as Olympiacos cruised to a 3-1 victory despite the best efforts of Steven McLean who provided an impressive assist for Tavpen to level the score early in the second half.
When Sam Lammers, Cyriel Dessers, Abdallah Sima, Todd Cantwell and Nico Raskin look incapable of scoring from open play it is time to splash the cash or as others reference it, come up with an undisclosed fee.
A Brazilian, any Brazilian was needed with Danilo delighted to pick up a five year contract just a year after being released by Ajax.
Feyenoord jumped in, found a decent squad member with Danilo making 10 appearances off the bench from March as they won the Eredivisie.
Whatever the fee is it is all profit for the Dutch champions, 11 days from now Danilo makes his Ibrox debut in the Champions League qualifier against Genk or Servette, if it turns out to be a repeat of the Olympiacos result one vlogger is going to get very angry.

They’ve had this one decent signing this transfer window and now they’re banging on like league killers. Guys a banger! It’s Danilo they’ve signed for goodness sakes.

Jolly Boy John there with no sense of self awareness or embarrassment or indeed any sense at all, going mental about a player with poor figures being signed for an undisclosed fee.
Honestly, had anybody heard of this Danilo before?
It’s the hope that kills them.
Should they qualify for the champions league proper and this Poundland Pele scores the goal to get them there, wee Coco the klown at ibrox noise and Dark Mingwall will be splashing the headline along side the daily sevco that he has just become a £100 + player.
Why was the ‘Brazilian magician ‘ a bench warmer last season if he was so good at his job ? Why were there no multiple bids for this ‘frickin ‘ guy from other interested clubs for this ‘game changer ?’ By all accounts the greatest thing since bubblegum ?
£100 million + player that should read.
