Sunday September 3 was one defeat too many to Celtic for Micky Beale.
Most of the Scottish media were happy to forget all about last season but for the true bear there was three damaging defeats in three competitions that couldn’t be eased.
Two meek surrenders at Hampden virtually handed over trophies to the champions while a 3-2 defeat at Celtic Park meant that the SPFL Premiership was over for another season.
Talking up Todd Cantwell and Nico Raskin was used to dull the pain even though the dynamic duo were only able to influence a Dead Rubber which bought Beale credibility and time.
This joyless slog has to end.
Fan media applied incredible top spin to the summer Revolution, some even claimed that it was the best ever transfer window but a defeat at Kilmarnock on the opening day of the new season brought some reality back into play.
When Aberdeen fans were celebrating their victory on Saturday the Ibrox board could no longer delay the inevitable any further.
A caretaker management team of Steve Davis and Alex Rae suggests that applicants for the job aren’t going to be of the calibre demanded by Edgar and the other deluded bears.
