Derek Clark is staring at the brutal reality facing the Espanyol of Glasgow.
Hibs fans have watched their team win more often at Ibrox over the last four months than the angry bears that turned on their team yesterday.
After years in denial Clark has described the current team as a carcass of what Rangers should be.
Seems like he is two defeats away from saying ‘it’s not Rangers any more’.
Opposition fans have been chanting that at the Gullible & Deluded since formation in July 2012.
When they were watching Lee McCulloch in action against Brechin City in the SPFL Challenge Cup.
The cold reality of day has dawned on Clark.
The club formed by Charles Green with the backing of Ally McCoist isn’t the one that he cheered on through the happy and glorious nineties.
With the benefit of Dave Murray calling in favours from the Bank of Scotland then turning to tax scams the trophies rolled in.
Without then Nada. Zero. Zilch.
THE BRUTAL REALITY OF LIFE ON A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD
On a par with St Johnstone, Aberdeen, St Mirren, Hearts, Hibs and Inverness Caley Thistle.
It is the most brutal reality for those raised on a superiority complex.
Who chant anthems of hate at every match. Who roars the add-ons as Tina Turner bellows over the PA system as the teams emerge from the tunnel.
Opposing fans join in with laughter.
At the middle aged men, the elderly gammons and young bucks trying to pretend that 2012 never happened.

A fortunate win over Dundee United was delivered with John Beaton the referee.
Fans chanted for Danny, Danny Rohl. Just win the remaining matches and the title was theirs.
They choked. Bottled it. Lost four in a row to finish 10 points behind champions Celtic who had lost eight SPFL matches.
A new Revolution was required. It was staunch. And Clark and his ilk were all in.
After all that foreign muck they had someone in the dug-out who understood the loyal culture, the brogues and who knew the words of the songs banned by UEFA.
DESPAIR FOR CLARK AS THE STAUNCH REVOLUTION CRASHES AND BURNS
For reassurance a video clip surfaced in the spring showing McInnes in full song alongside Richard Gough, Gordon Durie and Ian Ferguson.
What could possibly go wrong?
As it happens almost everything has.
Lawrence ‘score goals for fun’ Shankland is firing blanks.
McInnes’ dour defensive football is shipping goals for fun. Owen Goal is his top scorer so far this season.
Cammy Devlin was on the Balon d’Or short list after kicking a few opponents in pre-season. The real football has disclosed Devlin as a sub-standard journeymen.
Clark will be on the Rangers Review podcast through the week.
As the publication closest to the current regime they’re expected to toe the party line. For six years the Review has been promising jam tomorrow.
Clark knows the truth.
He stood back and let Rangers die in 2012.
For 14 years he has been supporting a Tribute Act that is now a carcass of the club he once watched.
It looks like the gory days of the early eighties under John Greig are back again.
But without a Murray type figure to come to the rescue with HMRC keeping a close eye on finances at the club founded by Charles Green.
But the manager talking about winning was so impressive, especially compared to all the other managers who told the players to lose ????? You really are a class A tit. pic.twitter.com/FJgCUEzaWk

Scottish core Derek?!
“Just get it, know the league” brigade living in the 1990’s thinking they know it all when they know sweet fuck all.
Football men needed – not based on nationality or whether you have played in the league before.

Derek, you championed for ‘Rangers men’ to be flooded in, shows you know fuck all, just being a rangers man doesn’t win you anything you need to actually have quality. McInnes is a journey man manager with one anomaly season, McCrorie, Devlin dog shit signings. Reap what you sow

You were the one that said you wanted McInnes, and you said “it feels like Rangers again”.
Maybe one day the penny will drop …

I blame the pin striped top, back then with original design we had better team players than we have now but sadly they never won a league and this lot cannae win a raffle!

Even the latest Ibroxland coacher guy -McInnes – said that theRangers has failed for the last 15 years … yesterday after Hibs beat them in Govanlandia ! If that was not a true acknowledgement to liquidation and extinction for the previous theRangers club /company in 2012 then they really are deluded ? That’s how hot the environment is around McInnes right now as his managerial and coaching frailties and deficiencies are exposed to the rest of the footballing world ! Will he last a season wearing the brown brogues ? Paddy Power will be making book as we speak ….those rascals !
