Barry Ferguson’s Bubbling Bitchery Over The Celtic Captain Being “Rested” Is Pathetic.

Barry Ferguson’s comments today about how “glad” he – and Ange Postecoglou – were to see Callum McGregor “rested” for Scotland last night are exactly the sort of moon-howling I highlighted earlier on when I wrote about the Ibrox fans and their barmy belief in conspiracy theories.

How pathetic that a former Rangers captain repeated such dire nonsense with this clownish rant.

This is why the Ibrox supporters believe this stuff; because goons like this keep on feeding them this “all the world hates our guts and wishes we would die” garbage.

Honestly, that club will never get its shit together whilst people like that revolve around it and feed into all its insecurities and paranoia. Ferguson is a major figure to the fans and he knows full well that he’s encouraging the lunatic fringe here.

“It was nice to see Steve Clarke rested Callum McGregor, but listen that’s the quality. think if you ask Callum he would have rather played. He never misses games. When you look back on Callum McGregor’s record, even Scotland games, he never misses them. It might have been a bit different for him getting a rest. I’m sure Postecoglou will be delighted with him getting rested.”

Celtic players have contributed to the cause of representing Scotland more than those of any other club in the last ten years.

Far more.

That will continue to be the case far into the future as far as I can see. I think we’re maybe due a bit of a break from carrying the national team, and especially in matches like these were there was nothing at stake.

This pitiful whining, this pandering to delusions and cranks and conspiracy nuts, should be treated with contempt by our media, but as I said earlier they have spent years encouraging Ibrox’s fans to believe that their club is put upon and discriminated against … they certainly aren’t going to stop pushing that line now.

But the next time these cretins lament that the Ibrox fans should get behind the national team, they should consider the relentless torrent of this garbage that they have dumped on Steve Clarke and others over the years … the media has done as much to foster and feed the hatred the Ibrox fans have for their own country as anyone has.

Ferguson gives morons a bad name, and he always has. He is a brainless dolt who has never been able to look beyond his own biases, but this is dire stuff even for him.

The closer we get to this game the more these eejits are losing their minds.

Imagine the ranting and the raving should we actually win; they’ll blame it on Steve Clarke at this rate.
