Steely’s superb Rangers meltdown gives Celtic fans a great start to the week

Nothing betters a Rangers meltdown for Celtic fans than that of the Ibrox fan media.

Well, Follow Follow comes a close second but when Rangers fans are in pain, and I mean in real pain, their hatred towards Celtic knows no bounds.

Just last week, we told how the Rangers Rabble reached new depths after one of their podcast contributors racially abused Celtic players.

And whilst Rangers fan media man Steely doesn’t stretch to those depths, his pain is superb as his live post-match analysis of Rangers’ draw with St Mirren sunk in.

Steely’s Rangers pain as Celtic surge six-points clear

Celtic now enjoy a six-point advantage over Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership table as week before the big Glasgow Derby.

And as that reality sunk in, the Ibrox fan media guy was nearly in tears.

Steely said, “He’s just got to go. Russell Martin cannot survive here. He’s never reaching May. He never should have been here in the first place.

“Russell Martin, for me, just has zero credit for me to be staying in this job.”

Obviously I paraphrased a lot of this so if you want to enjoy the full video then just hit play.

Celtic face Kairat Almaty in the Champions League tomorrow night where a win there and a positive result on Sunday at Ibrox will settle a Parkhead support which has become disgruntled with the board over the last few weeks.
