The Record’s Latest Piece Of Pro-Ibrox Fluff Won’t Be Keeping Celtic Fans Up At Night.

The Desperate Daily Record. That should actually be the technical name for it. Once it was a “newspaper”. Now it writes the most abysmal stuff, gossip masquerading as public interest stories whilst the real public interest stories get ignored.

I cannot remember a time when The Record was not partisan and pro-Ibrox.

But I cannot remember when they were so open about it as they are now, or as keen to boost morale over there with fluff and guff.

Yesterday I posted a piece on how they’ve been accused of lying by an Argentine journalist who read their “take” on the Bernabei interview with disbelief.

“Rangers signature of DOMINANCE over Celtic on and off the pitch lands in Adidas hall of fame” screams the headline of today’s awful, swamp dredging piece of both. Notice the word “Rangers” and notice that I’ve not altered it for once. What in God’s name does that screaming, howling, mad headline actually mean? Easy. It’s about a football strip.

Yes, it’s about the “iconic” 1994-96 Rangers shirt which has made number 10 in a list of the most famous Adidas strips of all time. Which by itself is enough for me to say “Eah? What?” Who the Hell is responsible for compiling that?

I mean first, there is an Adidas top ten of strips? Yeah as picked by Four Four Two Magazine. In other words, The Record has gotten a piece of pro-Ibrox clickbait guff by copying a piece of … clickbait guff from somewhere else. Honestly, you could not make that up.

Their “dominance” was so complete that it ended the following year, by the way. We were already on the road to being a bigger club off the field too. Fergus had almost completed the redevelopment of Celtic Park. From that moment we were undisputedly the biggest club in the country.

A football strip getting onto some phoney-baloney magazine list doesn’t change the facts of that time or the dire consequences that era was to have for their club. Let’s not forget that their “dominance” off the pitch was not just about to be challenged but shattered, forcing David Murray to begin the suicidal EBT era which eventually brought the house down.

The Record really does love this kind of rubbish. For the rest of us, for everyone else in fact, it only serves as a reminder of why we don’t buy it and why most people who aren’t forced to (because it’s part of their job) won’t even read a word that’s in it.

It’s desperate, bottom of the barrel stuff. Anything to give Ibrox fans a wee lift.
