There’s succulent lamb then there are just damned lies. And the Celtic fans can spot both from a mile away.
The Scottish press has always had a penchant for peddling absolute nonsense about the Ibrox club and it’s been going on ever since they died in 2012.
But now that the annual Ibrox rebuild is underway after Celtic stamped on their throats once again, Philippe Clement has made his first signing of the season already.
The signing of Jefte was met with the usual sycophantic crap from the Scottish media but this next instalment beats everything they have ever written. Hands down.
Jefte could play for Real Madrid
Yeah, you heard that right. And that statement came from none other than Ibrox legend *checks notes*, Dalcio.
The Guinea-Bissau international was clearly smoking something or under the influence when he said, (Daily Mail via Daily Record), “Jefte’s a very good player, really offensive. He’ll bring speed and goals to Rangers. And he’s young so he’ll learn.
“He’s still developing and Rangers can bring the best out of him. He will improve at Ibrox. He’s a good player now but has so much potential to get better.
“He came to APOEL as a young player and was thrown straight into a top league.
“Of course, for the first three or four months it was difficult for him as he adapted. But, after that, he was an amazing left-back for us.
“Rangers aren’t paying a lot of money for Jefte now. But in the future, he can be anything he wants to be.
“Everything depends on Jefte himself. If he works hard and wants it – and everyone said this about him at APOEL – he could play for Real Madrid in the future.”
I mean, come on. The ink on the guy’s EBT, I mean, the contract isn’t even dry yet and the media are fawning over him with this steaming pile of hilarious horse manure.
I can’t wait till next summer when Jefte flops and the only Real that he will be close to is the REALisation that his new club are always going to live in Celtic’s shadow.
If, in fact, he is “really offensive” he’ll fit right in at Sevco.
