John Higgins apparently made a ‘vicious troll on Rangers fans’ as he commented on Celtic’s title win following his own victory over Xiao Guodong at the World Snooker Championship in Sheffield.
Stating that Celtic are 54 ahead of their city neighbours pricked up the radar of the Record as they suffered through coverage of Celtic’s latest title success. Their 13th in 14 seasons.
Having put RIP-RFC on their front page in June 2012 many would suggest that it is the Record that has been involved in vicious trolling over the last 13 years.
A few months after the RIP-RFC front page the Record was celebrating the 140th anniversary of Rangers without any apology or explanation to their deluded readers.
Not all bears have fallen for the continuity lie, during March circulation of the Record fell to 41,676, a drop of 1,666 on the previous month. 3.8% down month on month.
In July 2012 the SFA, SPL and SFL signed a deal with BDO, the liquidators of Rangers and Charles Green, founding father of the Tribute Act.
A new club was formed, they beat Brechin City in their first ever match, started life in Division Three for season 2012/13, reaching the SPFL Premiership in season 2016/17 where they finished a credible third in their first season at the top level.
With football effectively closed during season 20/21 they even managed to win the Lockdown title but since then Celtic have reeled off four successive title wins as Steven Gerrard, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Micky Beale, Phil Clement and Barry Ferguson were crushed by Glasgow’s Green and White.
The Record is currently pushing a story of the San Francisco 49ers taking over at Ibrox, star reporter Keith Jackson expects the takeover to be completed before Thursday.
Haha brilliant this from John Higgins giving it to Rangers Fans ??? ? ?pic.twitter.com/7mUaFN4VgQ

The truth is out there !
Why have no ‘ big hitters ‘ from wee Scotland in the financial sense , been interested in buying out 51% of the confetti shares in Ibroxland , for control if the tribute act is such a wonderful and hugely successful acquisition to invest in ? Ok , there was big Masher ( Ashley ) , but he was ignored immediately !
So why all of a sudden does foreign money take on the guise as ‘ revolutionary ‘ when nobody from these isles would touch theRangers with a long clean stick , with their money ? I have a sense that when the ledgers are fully pored over by anyone , it’ll be like opening up a milk carton ..smelling the contents and pouring it down the drain because it has expired and is rancid to consume !
That’s class John ? ? but there still coming lol 56 is coming to paradise ?
Probably the first ever time that there has been a truth published in The Daily Record !
