Ally McCoist has described the Ibrox title bottlers as mentally weak.
That’s rich coming from the man that resigned as manager in December 2014 soon after being drawn against Celtic in the League Cup. Kenny McDowall stepped up as Caretaker.
During his time as manager McCoist led his side to cup defeats against Falkirk, Forfar, Queen of the South and Alloa.
Leading Alloa 2-0 after 70 minutes McCoist’s side managed to lose 3-2 to miss out in a Petrofac Challenge Cup Final Place.
The previous season McCoist celebrated losing to Raith in the final by staging a Karaoke night back at Ibrox. A good time was had by all.
A month ago the garden seemed rosy as the media messengers bought into the hype around Danny Rohl.
MCCOIST FEELS THE PAIN OF EVERY IBROX FAN
The gangly German with the nervous smirk turned down the Ibrox club last summer and again after Russell Martin was sacked.
At the third attempt he was given a contract that suited him. Kevin Muscat and Steven Gerrard knocked back the offer to takeover from Martin.
So far he has repeated the losers cycle started by Micky Beale then matched by Phil Clement.
All the signs suggest that Rohl is heading in exactly the same direction.
Steven Gerrard’s availability hovers over Ibrox as a generation of fans cling on to memories of the only freaky title win in their memories.
Listening to TalkSPORT this morning The Sun reports McCoist saying:
The only problem is they look mentally weak, that’s the problem.
They’ve got nothing to play for, which is a ridiculous statement when it’s a Rangers-Celtic game and you’ve got Champions League at stake.
But I’m not sure they’re mentally strong enough, that’s the only thing that would concern me.
I look at Rangers – 2-0 up against Celtic, played for 45 minutes, 2-0 down at Livingston at half-time, played for 45 minutes, 2-0 down against Motherwell, played for 45 minutes.
Falkirk away, getting battered first half and came back. They can’t play 90 minutes.
In October Rohl was appointed as manager on a contract until May 2028.
The greatest crime for any Ibrox manager is to provide the fans with hope then watch the team capitulate with trophies in sight.
Starting with James Tavernier in your team is always going to be a huge risk. Last night Captain Disappointed lived upto expectations.
The focus is now all on Celtic on Sunday. Facing demoralised opponents that are being slaughtered by fans and media alike.
A win for Martin O’Neill’s side keeps the title race alive. Another defeat and Rohl might be unable to survive into next season.
C’mon Celtic – Banish The Bast*ards to Conference League Football on Sunday !
Oh Dear! What Can the Matter Be?
Since the early to bed 1872 Rangers club went bye-byes, the replacement Sevco comfort blanket shows evidence of having too many holes in it, for it to keep the little boys blue warm. The media bed-time stories telt to the Brothers Grim and Bear It in an attempt to patch up the lies, only leaves the huns in never-never land. Tales of Ally Baba’s Sevco having legitimate possession of treasures taken from the RFC thieves is a make-believe fairy tale to appease the gangs of zombie boos, this is an unreal claim which only harms their credibility.
The former I’m a Little Teapot RFC player showed This Is the Way You Walk Away as a Sevco manager and went Round and Round the Garden Like a Teddy Bear because This Little Piggy’s club won none while he ate plenty of roast beef.
Ally Baba was spitting out the dummy, throwing his toys from the pram when the post-split fixture schedule was announced and then a Glasgow Derby ticket row caused the bitter patter of a possibility of whiny defeat.
His nonsensical paranoid discomfort was brought Home to him by a HOME loss to Motherwell and the Hearts result has revealed the true cause of his anxiety, that the bottlers aren’t able to stand on their own two feet, the serial losers fortunes haven’t improved since their existence for a VARiety of reasons. They still end up with a score bottom despite regular changes of disposable managers, players and staff which pampers to the deluded fans demands. It’s Danny Dole’s turn for nappies, soon another nanny will be left holding the baby.
Captain disappointed Tavernier has scored more penalties than Old Mother Hubbard but now they must pay the penalty of being aware that they are just a third rate club. King of the castle sold Cavenagh a place where once upon a time deadco could cheat their way to winning titles but it now shows, on a level battlefield who the true victors would’ve been. Ally’s in Wonderland when he believed Sevco could succeed but unfortunately winning trophies is not for the faint-hearted.
Excellent piece Con or should I shay,exshellent as ally fud heed would say.
Very good Con !
