It wasn’t a defeat this time but it sounded like it as Steely repeated his well used angry reaction to a background of booing at Ibrox.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Micky Beale have been on the end of the celebrity vlogger’s anger over the last 15 months, on Thursday night the target moved towards Philippe Clement after ARIS Limassol exposed the limitations of his side.
There are mitigating factors for the Belgian magician but he agreed to take the job on, gets paid every month and selects Sam Lammers for virtually every match.

Connor Goldson’s suspension meant that there was one less of the serial losers on the pitch but James Tavernier and Borna Barisic put in typical performances, in central defensive John Souttar and Ben Davies provided the slapstick.
Pre-match hopes are always sky high, a win against ARIS guaranteed Europa League football after Christmas but that familiar sinking feeling greeted the final whistle with a win away to Real Betis now required to progress.
Simply BOOOOOOtiful!
