The most rapid and paranoid elements of the Ibrox support, ie: 90% of those online, have started to compile a dossier to justify John Brown’s corruption claim made against Nick Walsh while appearing on ‘Rangers TV’.
Monday to Friday Walsh dedicates his life to the education and fitness needs of the Murray Park starlets through his job at Boclair Academy but according to the unhinged once he puts on his Specsavers refereeing kit and grabs a whistle he is involved in very dangerous activities.
It is of course complete nonsense, penalty and red card statistics over any five year period highlight that the second best team in Scotland benefit from a very strange statistical anomaly.
With Greg Aitken, Andrew Dallas and Alan Muir given full-time VAR jobs by the SFA it is clear that inclusivity isn’t something that they bother with inside Hampden Park.
The reality is that supporting a club without access to an unlimited overdraft facility or one that attracted players for more than a decade by disguised remuneration scams has been painful to come to terms with.
Stars from Chelsea and Barcelona no longer head to Ibrox on Sir Dave’s private jet, HMRC  are watching every month for full payment with every contract submitted to the SFA looked over carefully.
That has resulted in a decade of duds from Andy Halliday and Jason Holt through to Connor Barron and Josh Windass.
Vanity signings to reassure the bears of their global appeal have been even more disastrous with Joey Barton, Aaron Ramsey and John Lundstram all failing spectacularly.
And all the while Selik have been picking up trophies.
Another nine-in-a-row, doubles and trebles, the glorious hoops have now won more trophies than both Ibrox clubs combined.
That issue over the last season has pushed many Ibrox fans over the edge, as can be seen in the paranoid claims below as Follow Follow started a dossier highlighting how their clubs have been wronged by the SFA who include Jim Farry, Gordon Smith, Stewart Regan and Ian Maxwell among past and current CEO’s. Not much sign of diversity in there while Campbell Ogilvie kept an eye on a variety of issues.
The booking to fouls count is a classic. It highlights how soft fouls are constantly given against Celtic. Despite having 65-70% possession in almost all SPFL Premiership matches, most wees more fouls are given against Celtic than their opponents.
Bobby Madden took things to extremes at Pittodrie in October 2021, awarding 27 free kicks against Celtic despite having 63% possession.
The other FACTS! stand up to scrutiny just as strongly…
The little known New Balance conspiracy! Where do you start with it, some random bear knows the details of Celtic’s kit contracts even though he doesn’t know the difference between Nike and Adidas. ‘I was told’ sounds like a favoured line from Tom English or one of his BBC colleagues/cheerleaders.
The 2007/08 season is one of the biggest myths around.
While Celtic played two Champions League matches in one week, either side of a 1-1 draw away to Hearts Walter Smith requested the postponement of a game against Gretna (google them) that was due to be played at Fir Park Motherwell in order to get 10 days to prepare for a Champions League match with Lyon.
Happily the French club won 3-0 at Ibrox to join Barcelona and Celtic in the last 16 of the Champions League, Smith’s side dropped into the Europa League.
While being able to pick and choose their fixtures as they progressed in Europe the SPL took the ridiculous decision to redraw the post split fixtures to finish up on a Thursday night!
Celtic and other clubs had a 10 day wait between their second last and final fixture while Smith’s side kept match sharp with regular matches including a match against St Mirren who finished in the bottom half of the SPL with half of their team held back from holidays to play a meaningless match.
Don’t ask Billy about the late free kick awarded away to St Mirren with the match goal-less, one strike from Shunsuke Nakamura later and the hoops took full points home from Paisley.
