Celtic trip and everything that followed showed how much of a shambles the club is. Feels like the culmination of everything that's been heading south since before Brendan headed south.

Defence is a shambles. Taking turns at letting the ball bounce to get each other in trouble. None of them would get a game for Livvie (feat. Efe Ambrose).
our "front" three is a midfielder, a full-back, and a fully grown adult who answers to "Mikey"

he also sounded a tiny wee bit like maybe he was a quiet covid denier too I thought. Describing players as being "deemed" to have covid was a weird choice of word.

he was forever in the pub last time he was manager - i used to drink in a few of the same places - so he's probably been hit hard by lockdown

He might turn out to be a very good player one day but 11.5 million for a wing back who can't cross a ball is not too shabby. Watch us squander it on two or three haddies though.

Story gets weirder, from his younger brother, Alti's wiki page:
Chapman Pincher alleged that Atli was the owner of certain documents that might add further weight to the case against Roger Hollis, that Hollis was a Russian spy at the head of MI-5 in the UK.[8] As Pincher, who died in 2014, stated "I have been unable to extract a copy of the interrogation report from Atli", p. 603. The interrogation report was alleged by Pincher to have been written by his deceased father, Evald Mikson.

I used to work for Shuggie back in the early 90s, he owned a hotel up the west coast, and once held a warm-up event for the World's Strongest Man in the village park with all the strongmen staying in his hotel. Somewhere in my parents' house, there is a photo of me being lifted by Magnus ver Magnusson while Shuggie laughs in the background. That was one of the weirder turns that my life took.

Can't exactly say I'm lamenting the departure of Lawwell, but I hope the new guy pisses off the other side as much:
Lawwell was a massive part of the treatment Rangers received in 2012. Forcibly made sure we were crushed. He had his tentacles into everything and everyone. He is a cancer to the Scottish game and a bully who has held a dark cloud over chairman, SPFL and others.Good Riddance— MacGerrard ☕️ (@MacGerrard_) January 29, 2021
