Ibrox flop calls out their dinosaur fans

Robin Propper has launched a scathing attack on the Ibrox fans that cut short his stint in Scottish football.

A year ago the Dutchman was being presented as a new leader at Ibrox, fresh from a season of success with FC Twente he was to head up the Phil Clement Revolution to end Celtic’s domination.

Propper scored an own goal on his debut, by the end of his first month he had helped his side to costly defeats against Dynamo Kiev and Celtic.

There was one highlight, doing the bouncy with team-mates in front of 200 Union Bears after beating St Johnstone in a League Cup tie. No trophies or medals were handed out.

Reality was that Propper was a fish out of water, hyped beyond belief as part of the Transfer Window Cup winners that also included Conor Barron, Jefte and Clinto Nsiala.

Now back in his comfort zone the Daily Record picked up on a an interview given in Holland:

In Scottish football, the crowd wants everything to happen immediately. That’s what people want. The ball has to be kicked towards the goal as soon as possible.

You see a lot of one-on-one duels, which means you end up playing in large spaces. It’s kick and rush.

That’s part of the culture. That’s how football is played. It’s a completely different dynamic to here.

I’m not a true man-marker and you certainly see a lot of that there. My better games came in the Europa League, where we reached the quarter finals deservedly.

I rely on coaching and composure on the ball. That’s why they brought me in. To make the transition to a more polished game.

It was a different world for me, but it was wonderful to experience. Scotland truly breathes football. Footballers are revered. The nostalgia, the history, the sheer fanaticism in the stadiums. It’s truly special.

Celtic v Rangers has been a very special match for decades. And it still is, although Rangers unfortunately lost out in the significant games to?Celtic.

Rangers didn’t win the title either and then everything suddenly turned upside down.

There was a new owner and a new manager. They brought in new players, including players in my position. I took my time to assess that, but I realised it would be a difficult situation. So unfortunately, my adventure in Scotland ended prematurely.

The new hipster manager has the tricky task of trying to introduce his touchy-feely patient brand of football to Ibrox.

Propper got out with a pay off after 11 months at Ibrox, everything suggests that Martin will be getting his pay off long before Christmas.
