Although I often find myself critiquing and questioning the decisions made by the Celtic board, today is not one of those days. Yes, I do harbor desires for them to exhibit more ambition, efficiency, and less of a frugal mindset when it comes to the transfer market. However, it must be acknowledged that their conservative approach has allowed our club to operate like a well-oiled machine, functioning with stability and success in stark contrast to the chaotic and tumultuous environment at Ibrox.
The comparison between Celtic Park and the circus-like atmosphere at Ibrox cannot be more apparent. While I may view Celtic as more of an office full of boring accountants, the reality is that our club is in safe and capable hands, far removed from the shambles and unpredictability that seems to plague our rivals across the city. While there may be aspects of our board’s policies that I may question or wish were different, it is undeniable that we are miles ahead of the chaotic situation unfolding at Rangers.
As the media hypes up the drama and turmoil at Ibrox, it is crucial to remember that there are 11 other clubs in the Premiership whose outcomes in the next 7 games will also be season-defining. The focus and attention may gravitate towards the circus at Ibrox, but it is important to shine a light on the stability and progress of the other clubs as well. In the midst of all the chaos, former Rangers player Derek Ferguson’s recent comments regarding the ongoing issues at Ibrox serve as a reminder of the turmoil and turbulence that continues to plague the club.
The circus-like atmosphere at Rangers, highlighted by incidents such as the collapse of a potential transfer deal, stands in stark contrast to the steady and successful path that Celtic currently finds itself on. While changes may be desired in certain areas of our club’s management, for now, we can take solace in the fact that we are on a stable and successful trajectory, far removed from the chaos and uncertainty that seems to define our rivals. So as the media frenzy focuses on the circus at Ibrox, it is essential to remember the other clubs in the league and their season-defining moments that lie ahead.
It appears that the administration at Ibrox just can’t seem to get anything right when it comes to running the club on a daily basis. From the chaos on Copland Road to losing directors, botching transfers and work permits, and even Clement’s silly walks, the Ibrox club is spiraling downward like a big top circus act.
It’s become a source of entertainment for everyone, with even the usual media cheerleaders starting to criticize them. John Gilligan stands alone in the midst of empty seats at Ibrox, facing a seemingly impossible task of turning the club around.
Trusting a man who once taunted Celtic fans might seem like a foolish move, but he’s a true Blue, a real Raynjurz man, and that’s what matters, right? And let’s not forget his love for the Billy Boys, a necessary trait for leading the Ibrox circus.
But perhaps it’s time for the real Raynjurz men to step up and help bring the club back to its former glory. The days of the circus are over, and while Gilligan may resemble a ringmaster, Dave King is the true comedy act.
Critics may bash our board, but they are the reason for our dominance in Scottish football. They may not be flashy, but they are reliable. Meanwhile, Fergus McCann remains a hero for steering Celtic in the right direction.
Thanks to people like Fergus, we can now sit back and enjoy the chaos at Ibrox from a safe distance. Let the circus continue, but Celtic’s days of being the sideshow are long gone.
