Ian Black wage increase

Following his substitution off on
74 minutes this afternoon, Ian Black was roundly cheered by Rangers fans. Not
due to his outstanding display (he was absolutely horrendous like the rest of
them), but due to the fact he was so bad fans were ironically cheering his
departure.

Therefore the news he has
received a wage increase will not go down well.

Following on from the rather unremarkable
1-0 win over Cowdenbeath at Ibrox last December, my information is that Ian
Black’s contract invoked an appearance clause, which has led to a wage increase
to £10,000 a week.

It is possible this very increase
is what led to manager Kenny McDowall strangely dropping him for the 3-1 win
over Dumbarton on the third of last month following the shambolic result in Edinburgh, with him only regaining
his place in the side for the Old Firm defeat.

However watching yet another
horrific show from the former Jambo and the way the fans howled with derision
on his departure suggests he may be unlikely to return to the first team any
time soon.

We shall see.
