Anyone ever keep track of the amount of a shecht the record have written as Potential Rangers and then Sevco signings to keep the horde happy? My favourite is a little bit different because it was a full page about a made up story of who they had just missed out on) was when it was written - the morning after Robbie Keane came on loan - that Rangers (RIP) had just missed out on getting Quaresma on loan It then stared talking about his stats, team mates, honours etc Trying to make Rangers (RIP) bask in the reflected glory, utterly comical in the context of a big name player actually arriving at Celtic Park https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/rangers-fail-in-bid-to-land-inter-1049368 Whilst not denying the record talk a hefty amount of shampooe.
So does that guy tweeting. We've been signing a boatload of croats for years according to him.

Or is it the same anti climax that every christmas is, and he's realising that if the after eights weren't foosty when he opened them two weeks ago, they definitely are now. The last piece of the wee jigsaw puzzle that came out a cracker and kept him amused for a couple of hours is lost and gone for ever. And the wee spring on the wind up motor he got is nackered and willnae go.
Never mind. You'll be able to celebrate christmas early again this year, no doubt.

They even had a wee countdown. Then...................................................nothing- except for a few Ibiza snaps
Bought a house---- nope?
Got the Missus settled......nope?
Kids moved up........ nope?

They are a weird bunch. Met a couple on holiday who seemed fine, another couple turned up & joined the chat - soon discovered they were both Huns & it very quickly turned sour. The next day he was down the beach with his orange top on, which I laughed at & they wouldn't look our way after that.
Wouldn't have minded if they were older (in a way, I might forgive the WATP attitude) but they were not even in their 30s with kids & are deeply steeped in this pish. The girl was speaking to my wife for ages & then would completely blank her, as she thought she was a catholic - insane.
Anyway, hell mend them. We'll stick to double & Invincible Trebles & they can stick to the 17th Century.

Steven Gerrard arrival at Rangers will spell beginning of the end for Celtic's domination of Scottish football - blogger
Guest Record Rangers FC blogger Alex Mooney is convinced Gerrard will be a success at Ibrox.
Spoiler: click to toggle Celtic fans have never had it so good. Seven titles on the bounce and back-to-back Trebles for their team add up to total dominance in Scotland.
In Brendan Rodgers the club has a manager with the nous and drive to demand even more from his squad and push them to that elusive ten in a row.
The club is in fine health financially, light years ahead of its rivals, and set to coin in even more cash – a whopping £37m if the team can match last term’s Champions League campaign.
If that wasn’t enough for the Hoops faithful, they have been feasting on jelly and ice cream since Rangers went into meltdown and took four years to reach the top flight again.
The gift that wouldn’t stop giving brought joy unconfined as their rivals stumbled from one crisis to another, almost on a weekly basis it seemed.
The only blip has been Europe. Getting to the group stages was all that could be expected, given the elite opposition, but too many hammerings brought criticism.
Rodgers refused to park the bus against superstar teams. This split the fans, with a significant amount willing to accept close defeats rather than humiliation.
However, Rodgers is approaching Jock Stein status among the fans who just can’t get enough of their hero.
Even off the field, things are booming. Celtic Way has been refurbished and £4m invested in a hybrid pitch and sound system to enhance the matchday experience.
The boardroom is also in good shape. Chief executive Peter Lawwell and billionaire shareholders Dermot Desmond and Denis O’Brien have shrewdly moved the club forward in Rangers’ absence.
There is an envious bank balance that makes all the other Scottish clubs look like paupers. The biscuit tin era has been replaced by slick corporate governance.
In fact, the club that was established to feed the poor is now the establishment club.
In Glasgow’s online football forums and blogs, a mind-numbing cocktail of the rabid and the righteous, the bragging rights firmly belong to the Hoops.
Unarguably then, this is the best era ever for Celtic . Life is good. And the future looks even rosier.
Or it did. Until the force that is Steven Gerrard stormed into Ibrox and an ominous dark cloud appeared over Paradise.
The balance of power may, finally, be about to shift. Nothing lasts for ever.
The calibre of this remarkable man is exceptional. In a stellar career, from 1998 to 2016, he played 748 club games plus 114 for his country.
He is the only player to have scored in a FA Cup Final, League Cup Final, UEFA Cup Final and Champions League Final, winning them all.
In 2009, Zinedine Zidane and Pele insisted the Liverpool and England skipper was the best footballer in the world.
That’s the sort of experience and pedigree which most managers, including Rodgers, can only dream about.
On the pitch, his skills were abundant – long and short passing, lung-bursting box-to-box runs, ferocious tackling, lethal finishing. A one-man game-changer oozing leadership, drive, vision, courage.
Off the pitch, he has the charisma and credibility that only comes from a glittering career. He’s been there, done that and then some.
He also handles the media well – concise, insightful, intelligent. No daft promises.
Not every player becomes a successful coach but if sports psychologists could program a computer to come up with the perfect modern day manager it would probably spit out a Gerrard clone.
Of all the ex-stars now looking to become bosses you’d put this guy near the top of any list to prosper.
A born winner, he’s never failed at anything, and he will have learned much from the fabled Anfield bootroom.
Estimates of his personal wealth range from £60 to £100m. He could sit on a beach for the next 20 lifetimes but he’s put his reputation on the line at Ibrox for his first stab at management.
That takes bottle and an iron will to succeed. He knows the scale of the challenge in catching Celtic but that won’t be enough for the Liverpool legend. His target will be to overtake them before he leaves Glasgow.
He has no fear, only belief that he’ll prevail, and a work ethic to get there. He’ll do all the hard miles and make sure the players and staff match his desire.
Only a fool would doubt him but, surprisingly, many football pundits in Scotland did just that. Rangers imploded six years ago and there have been too many false dawns in that time – perhaps they are wary of another failure.
Tellingly, the game’s great and good in England, who know him better, insist he’ll thrive.
Regardless, the qualities of the new Gers boss guarantee a gripping season ahead and the main event will be the rivalry between Gerrard and Rodgers.
Both are smart enough to be respectful to each other on the record but privately there will be an almighty battle.
After the Gerrard appointment, Rodgers spoke of ‘how important it was for a new manager like Stevie to pick the right club’, which could easily be construed as a sly dig at Rangers being the wrong club.
That was the first shot across the bow. They’re not bosom buddies. A fascinating fight is about to unfold.
The odds are massively in Celtic’s favour. Gerrard and his assistant Gary McAllister – who was Rodgers’s first-team coach at Liverpool – know how big a challenge they face to overcome their old gaffer.
They won’t underestimate his qualities or tactical acumen or the ease with which he can spend lavishly to strengthen an already impressive squad.
That shouldn’t phase Gerrard who was the driving force in the ‘Miracle in Istanbul’ when he pulled Liverpool back from a 3-0 thrashing against a star-studded AC Milan to win the Champions League Final in 2005.
He doesn’t do easy. He’s grafted since he was a boy on a tough Liverpool estate to become a global superstar. Now there are other mountains to scale. His DNA won’t let him chill.
He’s not swapping a luxury mansion in Liverpool with his wife and four children for a solitary apartment in Glasgow just to play second fiddle.
He achieved as much as you can on the field, now he wants to do it from the bench. Those who think he’ll soon be sent back down the road with his tail between his legs are in for a shock – and a large helping of humble pie.
‘Let’s go’ wasn’t just a soundbite. He meant it.
