His brain must be as big as his mole! Sick Ibrox caller get personal with Mister Beale

Once upon a time their appearance was beyond personal criticism.

Bastions of bygone standards, standing on the touchline in shiny brogues, wearing a suit with Sir Walter adding an extra classy touch with a cardy in recognition of his standing as the Doyen of Dignity.

Being the manager brought with it a level of respect, a social standing bestowed on only the chosen few such as Mr Warburton, Mr Caixinha and the twice honoured Mister Murty.

Five Celtic trebles in seven years was tough to take but Micky Beale promised change as he shopped in Serie A and the Eredivisie to strengthen a squad that had already been bolstered by Todd Cantwell and Nico Raskin.

No consideration was given to the possibility that Beale had signed a job-lot of duds but when it all went wrong on Sunday even the birthmarks of their glorious leader were called into question.

CALLER: I mean, my God, I think Beale needs to come out and gee us an explanation as to what he was trying because it has totally lost me. It’s an absolute joke. He’s meant to be the tactical brains but…. my god, his brain must be as big as his mole.

If the caller wanted to criticise Beale’s appearance he could have commented on an ill-fitting shirt, the inability to put a Windsor knot in his tie or to use a razor blade. Bringing a birthmark into the criticism shows a lack of class and dignity on the caller and detracts from the discussion about Gary McAllister’s bibs and cones expert.
