Famous journalist’s anti-Rangers tweet comes back to haunt him

Rangers fans surfing the crest of the pleasant wave the side and regime are on under the increasingly impressive management of Steven Gerrard may be thoroughly amused by this tweet sent by ‘Rangers fan’ Graham Spiers some months ago prior to Gerrard’s appointment.

I was at Celtic Park today. This guy is ruthless and all-conquering in Scotland. Rangers plan to put an untested under 18s coach up against him next season. The sheer idiocy of it. It is staggering. pic.twitter.com/RDv51ZcE7V

Celtic went out of the Champions League last night amidst nonsense about £2M disco lights and chaos surrounding Belgium’s Dedrick Boyata (remember how he got absolutely owned at Hampden by Championship Rangers under Warburton and had to be hauled early?), while Rangers go from strength to strength, growing slowly, maturing, exploring and learning.

All under the tutelage of ‘an untested U18s coach’.

Idiocy indeed?
