Gerrard’s side don’t need old baggage

-

blame Neil Doncaster if that happens. He won’t be breaking any pandemic protocols.

The SPFL’s chief executive hasn’t had a social life here since he had to send his wife and children to live in England some years ago after they were left terrified by an encounter with a fan in a supermarke­t car park.

What if you can’t blame the Joint Response Group, Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health Board or Health Protection Scotland?

If Nicola Sturgeon says I can’t have my grandchild­ren in my house for the time being I go and wave to them through a window with my bottom lip trembling.

Some young people tend not to do rules. They are regarded as an irrelevanc­e and an inconvenie­nce.

If that creates problems further down the line, meaning a game between Celtic and Rangers is thrown into doubt and the season falls into chaos and confusion, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

If Rangers put Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent up for sale tomorrow the Englishman would attract the highest bid.

Kent is fitter, sharper and currently more potent in front of goal than the Colombian conundrum.

Steven Gerrard has the best squad of his time as Rangers’ manager. By a mile.

Steve Davies is an artist in the middle of the park. The defence is so far flawless in the league. If that’s still the case when Rangers leave Easter Road this afternoon the two-horse race for the tile is officially under starters orders.

What a pity such a terrific side is accompanie­d by some of the petty nonsense of the last seven days.

That whole Morelos-Ryan Edwards business last weekend, when the ref was found not to have made a mistake by failing to send off the Dundee United player for a challenge on the striker?

Kevin Clancy doing a Rangers game. Nudge-nudge, wink-wink. One rule for us and another one for the rest, etc.

Gerrard has an outstandin­g chance of winning the title with a team capable of playing terrific football. The out-dated stuff about no-one likes us, we don’t care isn’t for a modern-minded man.

He should leave that to those who haven’t had the stellar career he’s had.
