With impeccable timing tonight is awards night for Danny Rohl’s Ibrox squad.
The Double Tree Hilton in the city centre hosts the awards as some Ibrox stars get their hands on a trophy.
Twelve different awards will be handed out including the coveted John Greig Achievement.
Greig watched Celtic win nine successive titles during his star studded career, earning him the title of The Greatest Ever Ranger.
Choosing the date for an awards night can be a minefield but with Motherwell the visitors to Ibrox the timing seemed ideal.
Next Sunday Rohl’s side are preparing for a match at Tynecastle, the following week they are in action at Celtic Park.
The worst example of timing came in 2018.
On that occasion the Player of the Year Awards were held on the day of a 5-0 defeat at Celtic Park as the home side clinched the title. For good measure interim manager Graeme Murty resigned after the final whistle.
Some Union Bears decided to storm the hotel to share some opinions with the serial losers.
Tonight will be the last time that James Tavernier attends as a player.
For 11 years Captain Disappointed has been turning up to share sympathy with the fat cat supporters in attendance.
Today’s defeat to Motherwell leaves the Ibrox side trailing Hearts by five points with four matches left to play. Next up is a trip to Tynecastle.
SUNSHINE FOR THE IBROX LOSERS
Today’s defeat came on the back of a five day jolly to Marbella.
While Celtic were involved in the Scottish Cup semi-finals Rohl’s squad were enjoying some sunshine training matched with team bonding.
Clearly that has backfired with some bears questioning the brilliance of their current manager.
It is now fairly obvious to see why no Championship club came in for Rohl after he resigned from Sheffield Wednesday last summer.
Season Ticket renewals have already gone out with bears showing their loyalty with a 6.5% increase on the prices for the 25/26 season.
Please note that the usual player exit at the Copland Stand will not take place after the match, as the squad will be travelling directly from the stadium to the Rangers Player Awards. We thank supporters in advance for their understanding. https://t.co/e0XRCyubQu
