Imo, Rangers have made steady if unspectacular progress every season since Gerrard was made manager, and the progress has paid off, aided and abetted by Celtic's hilarious implosion. IMO, It should be easy to fix, removing one man seems to be the answer for a lot of fans on here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you’re saying you don’t believe the gradual slip of performances followed by a colossal nose dive this season that coincides with Lennon taking over has nothing to do with... Well, Lennon? An all conquering team becomes absolute dog shit, but it’s nothing to do with the guy trying to fit square pegs in round holes. Okay mate. Howl away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting if Lennons sacked as soon as it's mathematically impossible for them to win the title. Do you not think Gerrard has a bonus laden contract? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennon has and will take part of the can for losing a league,there is a difference between being at the top and staying at the top for a long period of time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it turns into 2 or 3 seasons then I mite be more concerned about where Celtic go forward to stop the rot. I would at least be thinking that there are moves afoot behind the scenes at Celtic. Surely Lawell will be doing the following? 1 Working with new CEO to ensure a smooth handover and getting a serious amount of finance available for the summer transfer window. 2 Sourcing a new coaching team and this time not on the cheap. 3 getting the football department to draw up a list of players available for transfer plus free transfers out. 4 Sign a top class Keeper for August. Or is it as my Celtic mate says "Lawell is probably playing mair golf than Donald Trump." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armstrong went for £7m with a year left on his deal, I'd expect Christie to get about the same. Assuming they pull in £15m for Edouard and another £15m for Ajer, then that's a decent chunk. Of course the difficulty is in spreading that across the number of players required: 1xGK, 2xRB, 3xCB, 1xLB, 1xCM (would have been 2 but assuming Shaw signs), 2xLW, 1xRW, 1xAM, 2xST. 14 players I make it?

Armstrong is a better player than Christie. I can't think of a club he can join in the EPL. He wouldn't cope in the middle so he'd have to play out wide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christie is a certainty to go. Is on a relatively low wage at Celtic and hasn't signed a new contract. Plus don't think he isn't having interesting discussions with Andy Robertson, Kieran Tierney and John McGinn on Scotland duty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A set piece taker, clean striker of the ball, technically very good - a doddering auld c**t like Hodgson will lap that up. £7m might be a bit rich if COVID really hits the market, but I really can't see it being any less than £5m. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palace have Zaha and Eze, they won't waste their money on Andros Townsend-lite, IMO. He doesn't fit at Brighton. West Ham will be looking for better. All the others have systems I don't see where he fits, even Newcastle. Maybe depends who gets promoted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
