Rangers v Celtic

the banter years are back from furlough

 

RANGERS can today announce the departure of manager Steven Gerrard to Aston Villa.

Gerrard moves to the Midlands club having played a key role in the significant growth of the Light Blues in numerous areas during his three-and-a-half years at Ibrox.

Rangers now has an outstanding, highly competitive playing squad which is capable of both winning and entertaining on all fronts, with the highest of standards now also prevalent throughout the football department.

In European competition, Rangers have qualified for group stage football for four successive seasons, and knockout-stage football in the last two, improving not only the club’s standing on the continent, but also that of Scottish Football.

Domestically, Rangers have flourished under Gerrard, with that work culminating in the club claiming their 55th title last season on the back of an unbeaten league campaign.

He now leaves Rangers with the club top of the Scottish Premiership with a Premier Sports Cup semi-final to look forward to and the opportunity to qualify yet again for the knockout stages of the Europa League still in the team’s own hands.

Rangers Chairman, Douglas Park, commented: “I would firstly like to put on record my thanks to Steven for his outstanding efforts over the last three-and-a-half years at Rangers.

“He has provided us all with some unforgettable moments, not least his delivery of the Scottish Premiership title back to Ibrox last season having not lost a match in the entire league campaign.

“In European competition, he has restored the good name and credibility of our club on the continent and leaves us in a very healthy position on the pitch.”

Sporting Director, Ross Wilson, added: “Firstly I want to say thank you to Steven for the work, dedication and professionalism with which he has diligently carried out the role of Rangers Manager.

“Steven and his backroom staff have ensured that the club is undoubtedly in a better place today than it was three-and-a-half years ago. I joined Steven on that journey just over two years ago and from the first day we met, I have enjoyed all aspects of our partnership.

“We have shared a desire to move Rangers forward, to modernise our infrastructure and to make the club win again. There have been so many areas that we have moved forward, and there is still so much to be done, but I can’t stress enough how important it has been to have with us a first team manager who shared a drive and desire to set standards and move the whole football operation forward.

“I know how much it meant to Steven that our 55th league championship was achieved last season, and alongside an excellent European record across his tenure, we have had some truly memorable days and nights. Personally, I am proud of the work that we have done together along with all of the players and staff, and I know Steven shares that pride. We wish Steven nothing but success for his next chapter.”

Rangers Football Club would like to put on record their thanks to Steven and his staff and wish them every success in the future. They will always be welcome at Ibrox.

 

I got it a few weeks ago with Mon telling me Neil Lennon was favourite to take over at Newcastle.

 

Feel The Beale

 

Cazoo yes he can

 

Who the **** is Russ Tinram??

 

In the morning on Remembrance Day as well, he must’ve really hated yooz.

 

3rd time you’ve posted this

 

Yes mate

What's your point?

 

Russel Martin one of the favourites

 

He took part in some of our most iconic Old Firm games…

 

He's also in the running for Norwich

 

For the first time I can ever remember, we have a new manager coming in with the team, top of the league, in a semi of the cup, a great chance of progressing in Europe and with a squad capable of winning the league.

Every time we've had a new manager come in in the past, it's been under a cloud as we've been getting rode and the BHEAST is miles in front.

Could work out well for us

 

At the end of the day - the still have Mick Dundee at ra wheel

 

You could do a lot worse than Farke, he's a brilliant manager won 2 Championship titles easily but we don't have the money to compete in the EPL.

 

youre boasting about how much money Rodgers went for as if that’s an achievement

 

Plus @Drew Blobby thinks worse things happen at sea.
