‘Wage stealers’ ‘serial bottlers’ ‘Hopeless and gutless’ Ibrox fans turn on star defender as Captain Disappointed ducks out of media duties

Borna Barisic was a little bit disappointed by his side’s 1-1 draw at home to ARIS Limassol in the Europa League.

With Captain Disappointed ducking out of media coverage after the game it was left to his fellow full-back to trot out the excuses script in an exclusive in-house interview.

Going into the match a win over the Cypriot side would have guaranteed knock-out football in the Europa League with the prize money and co-efficient points pouring into the debt-ridden club.

A feeble 1-1 draw means that only a win away to Real Betis in the final group match guarantees a place in UEFA’s second rate tournament in the new year. A draw or defeat will mean that a win for Sparta Prague in Cyprus will take them into the last 32 play-off round.

Great not to have to listen to Captain Disappointed say he is disappointed and we need to learn from this. Great idea to get a different bottler to say the same crap. Wage stealers

Now into his sixth season at Ibrox Barisic is well used to failure, joining the Tribute Act at the same time as Connor Goldson and being a regular alongside Tavpen through multiple failures.

Facing a penalty shoot-out in the final of the 2022 Europa League against Eintracht Frankfurt, Barisic picked up a mystery knock in the 117^th minute with Kemar Roofe taking his place.

From January 1 the Croatian ace can sign a pre-contract agreement elsewhere, in the past he has been a transfer target for Roma and Juventus.

Imagine interviewing him. Should have been chased ages ago. Hopeless and gutless

Serial bottler…

After all his time playing for the club he still looks terrified everytime he has to defend.

There is a player in there somewhere but not a Rangers player I don’t think. If you can’t look confident with 50k behind you then you should not play for Rangers. We need a LB in Jan.

Dear Borna, why is it that you constantly shit out of 50/50 challenges? Why is it your first thought is to pass the ball backwards?
