Rangers and Celtic appear to have something absurd in common | OneFootball

It’s not often that Rangers and Celtic fans sing from similar hymn sheets, but that bizarre spectacle is exactly what has materialised recently with both clubs’ fanbases despising their board to the same degree. Rangers and Celtic fans have something in common.

Lack of signings

We’re Rangers fans, we don’t follow that lot, but we do know, thanks to the obsessed ones in our own ranks, that their board wrote a statement to them defending their lack of signings. Indeed, all is far from well over there with an unhappy manager publicly criticising the lack of spending last summer and fans outraged at the same thing.

Meanwhile Rangers fans definitely got the spending we wanted, it could have been as high as £45M quid if Sporting Director Kevin Thelwell’s questionable arithmetic adds up. Unfortunately it was on a load of rubbish, and fans cannot stand any of the three Amigos in Thelwell, CEO Patrick Stewart or ‘manager’ Russell Martin.

Which means the Old Firm sides have something very much in common.

Poor

Both have very poor teams – Celtic’s XI is absolutely atrocious now, albeit it’s still good enough to be top in Scotland. They were well and truly exposed v Borat’s Bunch however.

Rangers are even worse, alas, in what probably sees the most dreadful Rangers of all time bar 2012, and some might even make a case to say including that shocking side.

So not only do both the Old Firm absolutely stink of rotten eggs right now, both groups of fans dislike their ownership and board.

Rangers spend too much on rubbish and wasted a small country’s military budget on the likes of Chermiti, while Celtic won’t sign anyone and appear to have made the same mistake Rangers did in 2021. Much to Steven Gerrard’s huge chagrin back then.

It’s a surreal one, and it’s surreal times. Word is Brenda is considering his position, word is Rangers’ board are considering Martin’s.

Dislike

It’s almost comical on Rangers’ part that the fans dislike the new regime as much as they did the old one, with an Ibrox Noise poll concluding that the best they could say about them was they’re ‘unsure’.

This is off the back of the Parks and Alistair Johnston era, whose takeover was supposed to be a Celtic killer and the age of a new dawn. Ibrox Noise, of course, was the only Rangers group who were not buying into that in the slightest.

We have been honest from day one. When it’s good, we call it. When it’s bad, we call it. We thank you for all the messages of support lately, quite a few fans conceding we called it on this whole thing.

Being right

We didn’t want to be right, we want a strong Rangers.

But we don’t have one. Seems that timmy lacks the same thing. Rangers and Celtic fans have something in common.

Que sera.
