There's a great deal of noise and confusion around Rangers at the moment. And, as is so often the case, not very much of it makes any kind of sense.
A drubbing at Celtic Park on Saturday leaves Giovanni van Bronckhorst ’s side five points adrift of their rivals and wondering if the rampant champions are about to disappear completely out of sight – just three months after making it to a European final. And all this on the back of an anti-climactic end to the transfer window when the men in charge resisted any temptation to spend some of the cash which has been piling up inside the boardroom over these past 12 months.
They might argue they got their business done early this summer given that van Bronckhorst has seven new players in his squad. But only two of them were in the Dutchman’s starting 11 on Saturday and both were subbed off as Celtic’s turbo charged players went up through the gears from a lightning fast start into overdrive, with the Gers flops simply having no answer for it.
