So theRangers are back, and I am all for it…

Congratulations to theRangers who beat Swedish side and European specialists Malmo on their own patch last night as they started their Europa League campaign in style.

A few weeks ago were being written off

The latest Ibrox club, who just a few weeks ago were being written off as clueless cowards – by their own supporters – are now one of the favourites for the Europa League, and are presumably expected to do a clean sweep domestically.

theRangers are now officially back raring to go, and Celtic should apparently be afraid, very afraid. Cyriel Dessers is playing like Mbappe, and their new Albanian sighing is the second coming of Zinedine Zidane. Their entire side is now packed full of serious talent and European football, not just Scottish football, has stood up and taken notice.

Planning mass protests

That’s quite the turnaround, considering the same players were being heckled by theRangers fans, and told to leave the club not so long ago, after another sobering humbling by Celtic made the Ibrox supporters realise their team wasn’t as good as they thought. Yes, the entire squad, including the manager were under scrutiny, they even wanted the board gone and were planning mass protests.

Over-confident, cocky, deluded supporters

Now? Well after a couple of decent results against sides on the same level or lower than them, they are back to being the over-confident, cocky, deluded supporters we all know and dislike.

I don’t know about you, but I am all for it. After all they are just one defeat or draw from self combusting yet again.

Just an Ordinary Bhoy
