Strachan Should Fear Rangers
It's come as no surprise to this observer that when Gordon Strachan is up against the gauntlet he has consistently failed to deliver.
His wins in key games looks like a grave yard that even Big Eck doesn't have to deal with. In three attempts against Bratislava away, Rangers away, and Hertz at home, his record is Played Three, Won ZERO.
Statistics don't lie but those arguing with them do. Rangers have a record in big games under McLeash which is Ecks-ceptional. Even Legendary Celtic manager Martin O'Neill couldn't match the Rangers manager's rub of the green.
So when the view before Rangers fans looks like a wasteland they would do well to remember how much they owe Big Eck. He is the one who broke MON's dominance of Scottish Football, against a backdrop of Celtic being one of Europe's top clubs.
He might have had a tough call this season but, as the hacks have mentioned on many occasions, he does have the best team in Scotland. Even the neysayers at Ibrox on Saturday will be aware of this, despite the goading by sheep fans who pointed out that Rangers played for a draw against them.
That all doesn't matter when it comes to an Old Firm game. These are the must win games Strachan has to come out on top but his dissmal record doesn't suggest anything to be cheerful about.
With the news that the player Rangers most fear, Chris Sutton, being injured Rangers have the upper hand. They come to Paradise with expectations of nothing and know that a win will put the pressure all on Celtic. Rangers have nothing to lose and really won't.
What will occur is that Prso will get a lucky goal and leave Celtic as mugs again. Strachan won't learn a lesson this time, just as Rangers fans never learn. Big Eck is here to stay and he's the best you can hope for.
All this fanciful wishing for a tim like George Burley to come should be eradicated from the thoughts of Rangers fans, as your season is about to start today.
Your future is Big Eck. Get over it.
