Well... Whatever Jurgen said at HT in Ibrox, if he could say it again before the match on Sunday I'd be grateful!

Salah fastest hat trick in CL, he's just special. Still much to work on, but winning 7-1 is never a time for moans! Bring on city!

Yes we almost finished every chance we got.
Great second half display.

Yeah, special, only thing he has done in a year except score against United :)

Scottish teams are awful. Great confidence builders for opponents

Says someone who’s probably never played a sport to a decent level ?

I say that with respect where there is no easy games, sometimes they get away from you and confidence is low but to say all Scottish teams are awful is a sign of someone that is clueless about professional sport.

Liverpool are a world class side and Rangers well beaten, but given the resources between England and Scotland, Rangers have punched well above their weight in recent times.

I wouldn’t mind criticism but Man Utd have been terrible since Sir Alex Left and the money they’ve spent.

Yawn, there we go. Opening with that meaningless line. One must not be critical if you have not participated at the same level.

Every player in the Rangers side are miles better than me. Does that make you happy? They are still awful relative to the standard they are up against. Dreadful.

But, how dare you criticise Man Utd. Have you played in the Premier League to qualify such a statement?

change are for were. As they say the table don’t lie. That said the Prem league is unpredictable so they could get three points at the weekend ?

Most Scottish teams are honest, decent outfits working hard to live within their means and not sell their soul to whatever money-laden unsavoury regime or individual might happen along with their bling-laden entourage.

I’m happy supporting a diddy not very good team that I can feel proud about and can celebrate whatever success it might achieve through hard work, organisation and togetherness - no matter how small.

That’s what every team no one wants to invest in says ?

Technically speaking there is a rise in clubs north of the border that are struggling financially. Not only that Rangers of recent were not very honest.Hence a fall from grace.
Quote,
Americans have controlling interests in Aberdeen, Dundee United and Hibs so far and Low – who was Fergus McCann’s advisor when the Canadian businessman saved Celtic from bankruptcy – says investors from across the water have decisions to make.
I to followed a Diddy, little Citeh, but when the investors came in they never spoke to one City fan or I suspect none from Aberdeen, Dundee Utd, Hibs or Celtic.

Fergus McCann was born and bred in the West of Scotland, and in his youth was a Celtic fan who regularly attended matches with his local supporters club. He emigrated to Canada, made his fortune (through golf), and came back to Scotland to rescue his club when they were facing going bust.

He was not the archetypal foreign investor you are trying to portray.

This is where interpreting context is crucial. When I said Scottish clubs are awful, I didn't mean it in the sense they are bad people who are managing their clubs poorly.

I fully appreciate their income is much much lower than many of their opponents in Europe.

When I said awful, it was purely on their footballing ability relative to others in CL. If it helps clear things up, maybe I could say Scottish clubs have significantly less football ability than others, and therefore should provide a good confidence booster to many of the better clubs in Europe (in terms of footballing ability).

The awful (now called lower ability) Rangers made it to a Euro final last season.
