Nigel the ‘bear’ lights up SSB but had a strange reason for missing the Hearts match

Radio Clyde really does leave itself open to cranks and wind-ups when they open the lines on Super Scoreboard.

Over the last few weeks the phone-in has become a platform for angry bears to outdo each other with their outrage over events around Ibrox as the first team squad is subjected to austerity as they prepare fto start the season at Hampden.

The comments of Phil Clement are becoming more bizarre as he deals in the reality of trying to convert serial losers into a winning machine on a shoestring budget.

For added anger John Bennett turned up last week, spoke for 22 minutes about nothing in particular other than to confirm that he is uber staunch and that two boats appear to have been delayed which has resulted in the closure of Ibrox.

There is always someone out there to apply a silver lining to the darkest of clouds, last night Nigel was that man although by the end of the call some were questioning if Nigel was the real deal or a Celtic fan on the wind-up, he claimed:

‘Rangers’ transfer window has been better than Celtic and anybody else

I think that the quality that we’ve brought in is far better than anything else that we’ve seen in the league.

I think one of Philip Cantwell’s best moves will be to keep Cantwell and Tavernier, obviously there has been a lot of interest from Saudi and the Premier League, if we can keep hold of those two I think we’ll be golden.

Marvin Bartley had his doubts about Nigel’s judgement but when he revealed his location on Saturday lunchtime the game was up on Gordon Duncan.
