Ally McCoist isn’t convinced about the excuses given for Steven Gerrard rejecting the chance to return to Ibrox.
After three days of upbeat updates delivered by the legacy messengers there was a shock on Saturday night.
It isn’t often that Raman Bharwar is chosen for an exclusive. But at 8.18pm on Saturday the STV reporter destroyed the dreams of thousands of bears. No Stevie G!
From the joy of Russell Martin’s sacking, being spoon fed the good news about Gerrard to this.
Fans of every other club in Scotland were laughing at the Gullible & Deluded.
Over a couple of days their hopes had been built up. Jermaine Defoe teased on Instagram, the messengers even named Mister Gerrard’s backroom team. No Micky Beale as a bonus.
Behind the laughs and banter McCoist is hurting as much as any bear.
He might be England’s favourite pundit, favourite co-commentator but his superiority complex has taken a hammering.
The ways of the nineties and noughties were artificial. The result of financial doping. Kevin Kyle and Ian Black wouldn’t have got near a team-sheet under Smith or Advocaat. They did with McCoist.
Saturday’s rejection hit them hard. It might be a tipping point for some.

Listening to the cheeky chappy of TalkSPORT this morning the Daily Record reports the former Ibrox boss saying:
The Steven thing was a disappointment clearly, but it is an interesting one though.
I would interested to know what changed Steven’s mind or what didn’t convince him.
I said yesterday, family takes priority over everything, so I am thinking to myself ‘is it maybe a financial thing?’
But the more I think about it, if it was that, he wouldn’t have came for the interview in the first place would he? He would have just said it is impossible.
So either they haven’t sold him it, or I would suggest something has happened in the interview process that hasn’t taken his fancy.
Nothing about the timing excuse.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE GULLIBLE?
There are only three training days left before the home match against Dundee United.
Only a very desperate man would consider stepping in as caretaker manager.
Neil McCann has been in contact with BBC Scotland and Sky Sports about his weekend availability.
Since Saturday’s rejection by Gerrard there has barely been a word from the Ibrox messengers.
Last week they highlighted Danny Rohl as a candidate, that was mainly to give the impression that a process is involved in replacing Martin.
Now with Gerrard walking away some are taking the former Sheffield Wednesday boss as a serious candidate. The reaction online has been toxic, just short of Russell Martin levels.
They’re looking for a coach only, and Gerrard isn’t that.
They only spoke to him to appease the (do-)bears
If they appoint Danny Bhoy before this weekend’s game,
then it would appear that any Gerrard ‘negotiations’ were not real / serious?
You’d think that sevco would want to ensure they appoint the right person,
– who will last more than 3 months – so why rush the process?
Chairman Cavenagh should let it be known that “it will take as long as it takes”
to find the right replacement for Martin?
Everything about this German manager screams unsuitable…?
[And is he wearing a terrible wig ???]
Their media monkeys are actually now hyping up then begging a different guy every day to take the job
this geezer has some brass neck demanding anything he walked away leaving behind a shambles the worst ever manager in their short history.
Super Sally looking to protect the club from Gerrards demands of paying his UK tax bill?
I think it would help Scottish football tremendously if they just stop and look back to 2016 and air the words of Alan Dewar at The Court of Session no less: “The Rangers football club does not exist, it is an idea in people’s minds, a myth of continuity. No-one knows what the Rangers football club is, but it has no legal personality.”
In the highest Court in Scotland the truth came out, Rangers DIED. Quit the lies, quit the poisonous ballyhoo surrounding that sewer of a new company and ‘bear’ in mind it’s a 13 year old with no history and ONE league title thanks to Peter Lawwell and Neil Lennon. Oh and the lab in East Belfast that never found any Covid in all their samples.
FFS, huns, get over it and then fuck off out of Scotland and join your hillbilly bretheren in all the backwaters of the USA. And you’ll just love their president, a lying, right-wing piece of shit just like yourselves!
Tic Toc @10.14pm…
Post of the year so far buddy !!!
Why thank you Clach, it is heartfelt. I despise that scum for everything bad about them and that’s everything about them.
