Football - Scottish Premier League - 29/4/89 Rangers' manager Graeme Souness gives an interview Mandatory Credit: Action Images
‘Rangers’ fanatic Graeme Souness didn’t even attend Thursday’s Europa League tie against Fenerbahce.
It seems that unless someone else is picking up the tab the 71-year-old won’t venture out of his home on the south coast of England.
Two years ago Souey was desperate to land a job as a club ambassador, James Bisgrove refused to commit another salary although the former Newcastle boss was involved in the recruitment process that appointed Phil Clement as manager ahead of Frank Lampard and Kevin Muscat.
As well as getting that decision badly wrong Souness is also under the delusion that Jack Butland is a top goalkeeper, a clear sign that he hasn’t been watching his old club very closely.
Writing in the Daily Mail, Souness stated the case for the former Crystal Palace reserve:
I’m a big fan of Jack Butland and he is the reason why Rangers are in the next round of the Europa League.
He was the difference between Rangers and Fenerbahce on Thursday night and maybe provided a timely reminder for Thomas Tuchel as he named his England squad.
Rangers have not had much to shout about of late but I wish I had been at Ibrox as I know how special an atmosphere those European nights can create. They were second fiddle to Jose Mourinho’s side for most of the game but dug in and found a way to win.
Tuchel named four goalkeeper in his squad for next weekend’s international matches without even the Daily Record banging the drum for the Ibrox shot-flopper.
In Butland’s last appearance in England he punched a corner into his own net at Old Trafford, with no Scottish referee on hand the goal stood.
Souness was at Ibrox for the recent 2-1 defeat from Motherwell, perhaps he has forgotten all about What The Goalie was Dazen when the visitors opened the scoring.
Gareth Southgate turned up at Ibrox for the visit of Celtic last April, Super Jack was picking the ball out of his net less than 30 seconds into the match, after that the Record ditched their campaign to get Butland into the England squad.
What an arrogant self preening cunt he is in that picture – Head in the air the lot as he lords it over whoever that wired to the moon Scummy that is interviewing him is – A Sevco fan no doubt (The Scummy that is) as Souness ain’t no ‘fanatic’ – He’s a Calvinistic Heart of Midlothian jump the dyke bastard for sure !
Is that a young Chic Young with the microphone in the pic? In which case you’re spot on, despite his claims of supporting Hearts as a young kid and then St Mirren. Absolute Grade A lodge member and general arsewipe.
Just proves the guy ain’t even bothering his a*se to watch them every week
It used to be said if you played for Queen’s Park they would get you a job after your football career ended. Seems it is Sevco now.
You wouldn’t mind but they are all so unpleasant.
