Soccer Football - Scottish Premiership - Rangers v Heart of Midlothian - Ibrox, Glasgow, Scotland, Britain - October 29, 2023 Rangers manager Philippe Clement reacts Action Images via Reuters/Jason Cairnduff
With Phil Clement in the final stages of his time in charge at Ibrox it is time for the Daily Record to whip up excitement for his successor.
At this time of year it is traditional to get glowing reports on Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Micky Beale and Phil Clement to deflect loyal bears away from Celtic’s lead in the SPFL Premiership table.
Few websites are as desperate Football Insider where a few clapped out former players churn out ridiculous predictions while insiders and recruitment experts are on the phone to FI on a daily basis to spill the beans over transfer plans.
It makes for a bonkers mix, yesterday former Spurs and Leeds goalkeeper Paul Robinson was explaining how Graham Potter would jump at the chance to work with the expensive misfits and seral losers at Ibrox.
Linking a former EPL boss with Ibrox is way too tempting for the Record to resist, after a dozen articles on Billy Walker’s buy-out they have gone all in with the Potter fantasy.
I know for a fact Rangers job would excite Graham Potter claims ex England star ?

The Record reports:
Former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson claims to know for a FACT that Graham Potter would be interested in becoming Rangers manager.
The former Chelsea and Brighton manager ruled himself out of the running to replace Michael Beale last year but Robinson says the 49-year-old – touted for the England job before Thomas Tuchel was appointed and seen as a dark horse to replace Erik ten Hag at Manchester United – would now be attracted by the position at Ibrox. Potter was sacked by Chelsea 18 months ago and rejected the opportunity to take over at French side Lyon last year.
The Englishman, who has been assisted by former Hamilton Accies manager Billy Reid since embarking on his managerial journey at Swedish side Ostersunds, is now weighing up his next move.
With a few years left on his Chelsea gardening leave Potter won’t be taking an 80% pay cut to take over from Clement.
Alex Rae and Barry Ferguson are already lurking around the club ready to slip into the manager’s seat following the next domestic defeat or Europa League hammering.
Who will be in the home dug out when Celtic visit Ibrox on January 2
Big Phil- he is A Proper Football Manager
Wee Barry- He knows what it is all about
Wee Alex- Biding his time, already in the dug out
MURTY! The only man that knows the job
Bomber- time to restore some traditions and passion
Sir Alex- Bring him home
They’d need Harry Potter to make that squad competitive, not Graham Potter…..
They’ve already used the Resurrection Stone to reanimate the deid club and you can’t do it twice.
Zombies forever!
Nae Money, Nae Prospects! NAEBDY OF ANY REPUTE wid touch that CESSPIT, It’ll be a REAL RANJERKS MAN LOL! I Don’t kno why they don’t get a wee Fanny like Steeley in or that Smug Bastard Edgar, they’re FUREVER telling us whits required & where they’re going wrang BAWAHAHAHAHAHA!!
The hun hacks at that papers heads have gone since they got beat off Killie , they’re all over the place
The article in the daily sevco by Vagina Wison is a belter,you couldn’t make that shite up that he some how managed to get it past and approved by an editor.
The Daily Rancid quotes a, no doubt unsubstantiated, ex goalkeeper?
It’s ‘supposed’ to be a newspaper so why not ask Potter himself?
They thrive on rumour and bullshit and nothing else, fact is a foreign land.
And Football Insider? Give us a fukkin break!
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am…………Football Insider is pooh.
(Sorry to Steeler’s Wheel for borrowing a few lyrics!) 🙂
So just about everybody and their granny knows that Barron should have been sent off for that high boot challenge with ex-refs in the game calling it out as that.
So how come Willie BAWBAG Collum and his sidekicks don’t see it like that,not one twobob journalist has called it out as a red,and yet it was an identical challenge to what Yang got sent off previously for.
We can all smell a rat here,a nickel&dime sevco player and the new darling of the Scottish mugs in the press room not wanting to highlight their new prodigy as a thug.
Don’t think Collum’s podcasts are going to run for much longer.
As for Potter being ‘interested’ in sevco…
even the thickest of bears would just groan at that nonsense story.
