Newco have struggled for relevance this season, even among their own supporters, who have been increasingly disengaged. They are an object of fun domestically and were not quoted outside of Scotland. Now they are relevant. They are being discussed in news programmes and by football commentators outside Scotland, and not because of an embarrassing defeat.
The appointment will ensure the renewal of thousands of season tickets that may otherwise not have been purchased, so for the first season, it will self-finance. For a club with huge short-term challenges, this money he will bring in over the next six weeks makes the appointment of Steven Gerrard as manager a good one. July’s Europa League qualifiers are a long way off.
This is true even though he has less experience than McCoist, McDowell, Warburton, Caixinha and Murty. Gerrard has never taken charge of a full team of adults. He will have no money to compete with Celtic and will need to pitch his tactical brain against Neil Lennon and Derek McInnes next season. Results will be predictable, you can be assured of that.
Despite his warm welcome yesterday, he is, of course, another Celtic Brother. This fact will visit him with the vitriol which became familiar during Murty and Caixinha’s reign soon enough.
All of this means we get to dismantle some fantasies next season, just as we did this season and last. I see no downside.

morning champions – duvel in the fridge, off to Lidl for burgers for the barbie and King has played a blinder this week ; Nero fiddling as Rome’s finances burn away; you can’t polish third
oh happy days
If you have a few spare minutes Google “Steven Gerrard and gangsters”, read a few articles, then ask yourself “when will the first incidence of unusual betting patterns in the SPFL next season be?”
Anyhoo, I really want to beat hearts today so I don’t want to see wholesale changes today. Rest a couple but please see out the season with some style.
Good morning from a dry and pleasant Dalmuir. Hoping for a mini hun skelping day. Hope BR plays our strongest 11 today, Wednesday and next Sunday. Keep the Bhoys tuned up for winning the double treble at Hampden.

Just read back. I get what you are saying but I think SG brings interest to the Scottish game.
A track inspired by George Orwell, which is relevant here today.

Good morning from the very sunny Gallowgate.
I see Gannon and Waddell are breaking ranks this morning. Gannon says Scottish football needing a strong Sevco is a myth while Waddell says Sevco sense of entitlement to be “up there” is not a God given right!
Realisation in the SMSM at last?

Well just been out the back garden, fogs away and its beautifull. I hope everyone who is going to the game today enjoys it and cheers on the Champions to the hilt as always of course.

Then hopefully in the beer garden afterwards.. Mmmmmmm beeeeeer
