He's been shite, as someone who follows the SPL Rangers have not really improved under him. He spends a fortune to finish miles behind Celtic

They have started from a long way behind Celtic to be fair, and they are catching up.
Will be a good test for us. Rangers are probably mid Championship level so decent challenge.

They really aren't catching up, as was stated he has a similar ppg to the managers that came before him.
Rangers really are a poor side

Gerrard took a rangers who finished 12 points behind Celtic and ended up with a Rangers that finished 13 points behind Celtic and that woul dof likely been 16 points as they would of played Celtic the weekend the season was stopped.

Was just from observing the league table through the season, can't say I follow it that closely to be fair - it's not competitive football. There are only 2 teams of a decent standard and even those 2 are Championship quality at best. It's a shame as they're both big clubs held back by the league they play in.

Get the feeling you prob have friends or family linked to Celtic and are bias
I dont have a horse in this race. In 90s I liked Celtic cos rangers were the best
Now I like rangers to do well cos Celtic are dominant
I have said my piece any Way. Need to join up to a rangers forum at this rate!

Yep, both big clubs, just the players are, in the main, championship level (as with all teams there are exceptions to that though).

No chance. Definitely Premiership.
Massive clubs and if they were in England would create huge interest and investment.
That's the thing now with the money sloshing about the EPL, there's a whole generation of football supporters who think Bournemouth and Burnley are bigger than Celtic and Rangers and Ajax and Benefica etc just because they get a shit load of TV money.

Yeah, I just meant the standard of players at the club now, not the size of the clubs.

Exactly people like Edouard, Ntcham, Elyounoussi, Julian, Ajer, Forrest, Christie etc are far better than "high end championship"

SPFL is a massively underrated league but big teams don’t seem to trust it. Edouard will probably have to go to a smaller club to ‘prove himself’ in England before a champions league club spends big money on him. Like VVD.

Rangers beat celtic early on, Gerrard gave it the big I AM and to go ahead and they bottled it from there

And that's a typical EPL attitude.
I feel that all football on this island gets maligned in comparison the the EPL and although it's a great product I think it lacks the authenticity of Scottish football and the lower leagues.
The EPL has been the death of Arsenal, absolutely ripped the soul out of that club. Man city going the same way

Sometimes best not to be so truthful. I measure a club's' size' on its ability to attract paying supporters over the long term, and Leciester are like us, pretty middling. Hard to separate the two on attendances historically, when era, league, and league position is taken into account. And I doubt that when the money goes, as it will at some point, they will retain many of the happy clappers.
