Regarding...
1.The PLG revolution; Any team in the world would have been optimistic of great improvement with the record he had in France, thing is he inherited a good team in LYON and who have since improved even more since his departure. Half the Rangers squad didn't get on with Le Guen,which I would say puts the brakes on any revolution...unfortunate but true. Le Guen was hardly at training unlike Smith and Smith won't tolerate players not trying. I mean players weren't allowed to tackle in training...It's Scottish football for F..k sake.
2.Walter Smith deserves all credit as he has been part of a historic revolution already at Ibrox. Walter was the man who guided Souness in his days at Ibrox and then continued to improve the team after Souness departure (9 in a row, missing out on a European Cup Final due to the Marseilles scanda)l. It was a great team with great players from all over. Gazza,Laudraup,Hateley,Albertz,Gatusso are just a few foreigners who arrived at the club,who understood what playing for Rangers was all about. That will come again and is the reason the fans are happy to have Walter back along with a Rangers legend Super Ally( these two are part of the reason for Celtics worst run in their history...thats if you know the History). It wasn't that long ago yous Celts were happy with Smith and McCoist and their Scotland revolution.
There you are then. Rangers got it wrong appointing a manager with a great record in France but surely appointing a manager with an incredible record in Scotland can't be a bad thing. Sir Alex Ferguson rates Walter highly but I guess Bandit and the rest of the bhoys on this thread know better
It wasn't so long ago that the Celtic fans wanted Gordon Strachan hung,yes F..king hung after his first two games in charge( Pre season friendlies they were). Now they think he is a God.
I must also admit that the standard of football in the English championship has been a lot better than in Scotland this year,which is sad but true(except for last Saturdays Rangers performance)
Rangers have wasted two years not winning trophies,but still to this day have won more silverware than any team in the world...different class.
ScottM,the answer to your question about getting bored is NO it is also an excuse for a bit of banter. Also believe me when I say that the Celts are hurting after dropping 8pts from nine to the Gers,they probably stayed home Saturday night and sickied work. The Celts are hurting and we are loving it.
By the way Bandit, what odds are you asking for...realistically? and how much do you want to wager? (probably wise to check your biscuit tin)
and good luck next year

p.s to prove I am not a bitter man,you can tell Strachan that I've found a replacement for Lennon and for less than a monkey. In fact it will only cost a buy in to tonights £40 DC F/O @ Cincinnatis,and the boy is no too bothered
about Win Bonus either.
p.p.s I'm surprised the Bhoys haven't brought up their 40th Anniversary...you know the Lisbon Lions...the first British team to...everybody knows,coz we hear about it everyday.
At the end of the day I am 33 and in my liftime, Rangers fans have had far more happy days than the Tic fans have had and there are even more to come
