Remember when we were told that about how good “Angeball” was by every and any pundit in the country after Celtic had swept aside footballing giants Dundee – with ten men – and St Mirren.
That the Australian has endured a worse start to life as an Old Firm manager than Pedro Caixinha says it all about the harsh reality of what is, fundamentally, a results driven business. Well done, you have the best goal difference in the league, the same league that you are currently sixth and six points behind us in.
Steven Gerrard will know that Rangers have a great opportunity to win the league this season, we are far from our best but they don’t look any better than they did last year and have lost the spine of their team, if anything it makes it even more frustrating that we aren’t playing with the same intensity that we did when we went through the campaign unbeaten as league champions.
It hasn’t stopped Rangers fans from enjoying their bitter rivals dropping yet more points though in what has been, in the end, a thoroughly enjoyable weekend.
Pedro Caixinha inherited a shambles of a team & spent at total of Β£8M at Rangers.
After Matchday 7 of the 17/18 season Rangers had 11 points and he was called a clueless disaster.
Angeball has spent Β£25M and by Matchday 7 he has 10 points.

“Yeah Angeball is ahead of the curve. Once Postecoglou settles in Celtic will be unstoppable. You won’t be laughing then.” https://t.co/3yHNADjVUG pic.twitter.com/LMJXnE9gTZ

Angeball is groundbreaking and innovative btw. A truly incredible concept and wonderful addition to Scottish Football. Of course it doesnβt actually work but itβs comedy value is second to none.

Pedro Caxinha arrived at a time when it was open season for all, for digs at our club.
Sutton insulted him live on BT before a ball kicked.
Brown squared up to him.
β’Everyone, media the lot, ridiculed him as a method of ridiculing us -from day one.Never forget that #AngeBall

Celtic did a lap of honour after that game. And someone had a sign asking Ange for his jumper. Theyβre 6 points behind us after 7 games. And weβve not been that good. Amazing stuff. #Angeball

16 games played under Angeball.
9 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats.
56% win rate, 43% in the league, is incredibly low considering the amount of money spent in the transfer window.
Thatβs genuine mid table form and long may it continue.

There’s a saying about not blaming your tools for bad workmanship but Ange Postecoglou really is trying to enforce a philosophy onto players just not capable of carrying out his instructions, expecting a midfield of David Turnbull and Tom Rogic to be high energy and aggressive is a big ask seeing as neither of them seem to be able to last longer than an hour – let’s just hope we can take full advantage over the coming weeks.
