Yogi Junior was in pieces today on his regular ACSOM Wednesday appearance.
Two days after Jim Gillespie’s infamous comments at a meeting with Ibrox shareholders it is still difficult to comprehend what he came out with.
On every level it was utterly barking.
And trying to read through those now legendary comments proved to much for the son of the legendary Celtic striker John Hughes.
YOGI CAN’T KEEP IT TOGETHER WITH KLOPP COMPARISON

You can go for a Pep [Guardiola] style manager or a [Jurgen] Klopp style manager – we wanted a Klopp-style manager who plays on the front foot.
I think in terms of Rangers’ game model and what fans’ expectations are, we wanted a Klopp-type manager who was on the front foot and played aggressive football and created chances and score goals.
Derek McInnes is a Klopp-style manager. Underneath that is the structure that he wants to play, the conversations about how successful he has been.
He is just off the back of a great season at Hearts, and the character the Hearts team showed and some of the characteristics that he has, his Scottish experience – he has managed over 500 games I think.
- There are far more than two types of manager.
- Comparing McInnes to Klopp is like comparing Lawrence Shankland with Erling Haaland.
- McInnes’ style of play is more peak Walter Smith bus parking that Klopp.
- McInnes has not been successful. He wins a trophy once every seventeen years
Even Del Boy, leader of the Staunch Revolution will be wholly embarrassed by the comments of his CEO.
It is easy why he was kept out of the spotlight as Vice Chairman of St Mirren until January.
Despite his commitment to St Mirren Gillespie is a lifelong bear, ultra staunch. He knows the same songs as the latest Ibrox manager.
Since his move to Ibrox in January he has taken a back-seat to Chairman Andrew Cavenagh.
Gillespie picks up the CEO salary but his role is to connect within Scottish football on the back of his time with St Mirren.
The Klopp comments quickly went viral from Monday’s meeting with shareholders to reassure them that everything was running smoothly at Ibrox.
Even the Gullible & Deluded struggled to accept that McInnes is an upgrade on Danny Rohl and Russell Martin.
After defeats to Jagiellonia and Hibs the pressure has been cranked up on McInnes. The last thing that he needs is his CEO piling on more with ridiculous comparisons.
As well as the two defeats in a week and the stupidity of his CEO McInnes has injury issues to contend with.
Youssef Chermiti is likely to be out for the whole season with Tuur Rommens facing an absence of weeks rather than months.
Flopp or Plopp?
Mr Floppy or Mr Ploppy?
Disgusted Derek really is now a total figure of hilarity.
The Banter Years continue.
At least their CEO is seen in public – and speaks.
🙁
Lol,put Klopp into the washing machine with Pep,and out pops McWinless.
That must be some SUPER STRONG stuff being smoked,snorted and drank at the bigot dome with statements like that.
Remember the quadruple is on for the new klub.
Better manager,better signings,everything is hunky dory.
Ffs it was a big proddy punt and run at hearts.
