Furious bears turn on Derek Clark as he goes OTT defending Danny Rohl!

Derek Clark was under attack from angry bears after jumping to the defence of Danny Rohl.

Clark is the ginger haired, Bolton based Hamilton Accies fan that is the happy face of the Rangers Review.

The Rangers Review is the brain child of Jonny McFarlane to give Newsquest a digital future.

It pretends to be fan media but is mainstream. A not so subtle messenger for the club founded by Charles Green.

McFarlane gained notoriety a decade ago when he explained why Barrie McKay is a greater talent that Kieran Tierney.

That classic came while he was an office junior at the Daily Record.

More recently he has trashed Callum McGregor, highlighting how one obscure stats site worked out that James Tavernier is the most successful Scottish based player of the last decade.

The Rangers Review has replaced the Daily Record as the mouthpiece of the Ibrox club.

The Review gets most of the club exclusives. Recently they had an outstanding exclusive explaining the brilliance of Nicky Raskin.

Any news that the club wants to get out goes to the Review via club sources or ‘we understand’.

THE TIDE TURNS ON DANNY ROHL

That relationship is great when the going is good.

Blind loyalty does come back to bite.

Clark and his colleagues were as sick as any bear last night. The SPFL title slipped away over 90 minutes against Motherwell.

Any genuine fan is questioning Danny Rohl’s ability.

But as club messengers Clark and the rest have to stand by the manager. The cost of that special relationship.

Not being Russell Martin has a limited shelf life.

Rohl put on the blazer and brogues, headed over to speak to the Union Bears after a 3-0 defeat from Brann Bergen.

David Dickinson delivered some baffling decisions. Celtic helped out with the appointment of Wilfried Nancy. Rohl was gifted a win at Celtic Park.

NO DEFENCE FOR THE GERMAN FLOP

Unfortunately for the German the debit column has also been piling up.

Four defeats in six Europa League matches. Two domestic cup knock-outs to Celtic.

Dropping points away to Livingston and Motherwell.

Now at the business end of the season Rohl has been caught short.

After taking his pampered stars on a five day jolly to Marbella while Celtic were winning a Scottish Cup semi-final.

Ibrox fans aren’t very forgiving. Ask Micky Beale or Phil Clement. Both instantly acquired genius status only to be hounded out. Neither completed a full season as manager.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst reached a European final and won the Scottish Cup. He was sacked six months later.

If Rohl fails to win at Tynecastle next Monday the knives will be out.

If Rohl wins at Tynecastle he could be opening the door for Celtic to win the SPFL Premiership title.
