Not sure if you’ve noticed, but the vast vast majority of the Scottish press the past 5+ days has been even more anti-Rangers than usual, and filling its boots with as much Celtic propaganda as it can.
If it’s not Helander headlines, it’s £50M Tierney headlines, if it’s not Jorg Albertz slaughtering the board it’s new press darling Ange Pestecoglou and how great he is. If it’s not Rangers fictionally rejecting a fictional Dave King offer it’s…. you get the picture.
It’s almost as if the press are a bit wary of Rangers’ return to form in recent weeks and are worried we might actually beat Celtic.
The reality is we’re seeing a lot of anti-Rangers pro-Celtic content in supposedly neutral publications, but it’s the same old story.
There are still a lot of Dons and Celtic men entrenched in the higher levels of government and media (hell, you only have to look at self-confessed raging tims James Dornan and Humsa Yousaf to know this isn’t paranoia) and they still have influence.
And that’s ok, tides of change take time.
But a good win on Sunday would go a long way to shutting the lot of them up, and the best place Rangers can do their talking is on the pitch.
