‘Ah just cannae see the treble no comin to Rangers this year’ SSB classics revisited

As recently as mid-March loyal bears were planning their treble winning celebrations.

With legacy media complimenting influencers like Steely and Le Souness the long suffering support believed that they were on the brink of trashing George Square and the city centre in an orgy of triumphalism and as they released the anger of a decade of failure.

Even a Europa League KO from Benfica and the cancellation of Dublin hotel bookings didn’t dampen expectations with the road clear to winning the SPFL Premiership and Scottish Cup.

On April 7 the fantasy was put in doubt when Celtic drew 3-3 at Ibrox, the next 10 days brought things into focus as one point was taken from trips to Ross County and Dundee.

Since then the bears have turned furiously on their own, denying John Lundstram and Ryan Jack the chance of emotional farewells.

Two defeat in May from Celtic proved too much, with the hoops now on 118 trophies the next 12 months could be devastating for the Gullible & Deluded.

After throwing about their SFA conspiracies after the Scottish Cup Final defeat the reality is that five legends have left their club with only Real Madrid target Jefte added to Phil Clement’s serial losers.
