The Sunday Mail’s Latest Pathetic Sevco Booster Is Unashamedly Dire.

Oh dear oh dear.

The Sunday Mail has scraped the bottom of the barrel today with one of the worst Sevco feel-good stories in many a year.

With us winning 7-0 yesterday and laying down a marker for what little is left of the campaign, they had to come up with something.

I expected some wondrous transfer rumour or “investment” chatter … but they couldn’t even muster that much imagination. What they came up with instead is pretty pathetic.

Just looking at the title tells you everything about how bad it’s going to be.

“Rangers beat Celtic to unofficial title of world’s ‘favourite Scottish football club’”

Oh yes. They reached for the bottom drawer with this one.

This about searches on Google.

This is about how many times clubs are searched online.

It takes no heed of why a club is being searched – so we don’t know how many people were typing in “Rangers” followed by “are dead” or stuff like that … not that any of this matters a damn to sane and normal people.

Nobody will be popping champagne or losing sleep over it.

This is my favourite part of a dire, dire article.

“Olga Andrienko, of Semrush, said: “Celtic may have secured an unprecedented quadruple treble in 2020 but the new research shows that 2021 was (Ibrox’s) year on and off the pitch. (They) not only won the Scottish Premiership to prevent Celtic claiming 10 in a row but they toppled their arch rivals in online search volumes across the globe.”

Isn’t that absurd? Comparing a quadruple treble with something as pathetic as this?

Does this make a single Ibrox fan feel better about having to witness that achievement from Celtic, or the knowledge that we’re on the brink of starting another awesome run?

I mean I’ve read some absolutely atrocious pro-Ibrox tripe over the years, but this takes the cake. We are top of the league and playing some of the best football we’ve seen in years.

We’re all mentally counting down now to the title and looking forward to Hampden … and this is the best that the papers can do to inject some hope into their veins?

Wow.

These really are hard times for the Sevconuts if they are clinging to this kind of crap.
