Naisys Tackle Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 18 minutes ago, SectionDJambo said: Back in the late 60s or early 70s, Rangers sacked Davie White for finishing second to Celtic. They had lost one league game all season long, but it was to Celtic. History is repeating itself. They won the cup winners cup in 72 so not the worst decision. Tommy Burns was sacked at Celtic and never lost a game all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Burns was sacked at Celtic and never lost a game all season. Rangers played Sporting Lisbon on the way to that final. They won 3-2 at home and lost 3-2 away. Both teams scored in extra time to make the score 6-6 on aggregate. The away goals rule, which had only recently been introduced, was understood by the referee, and both teams, to have only applied during normal time. All parties were called to the referees room to toss a coin to decide the winners, which Rangers lost. However, John Fairgrieve, a sports journalist and great Hearts fan, who was present at the game, told Rangers that the away goals rule also applied during extra time and that they should inform the referee and claim the tie. You would imagine if our man John hadn't intervened on the night, that UEFA would have corrected the error, but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 He gets this year as a free hit. Finishes 1st- he's a hero. Ends up 2nd- not his team, GvB' fault Has a good amount of time to get things in place for next season. If it goes tits up, he get paid off and ends up back in the English championship with a wad of cash. No lose situation for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N Lincs Jambo Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 When Gerrard was still there I heard a lot of chat about Beale being the man who basically ran the show. Hope I’m wrong but I have a feeling he’ll turn things round there. Probably too late for the league but narrow the gap and give Celtic a scare and win a cup would be a serious result for him.
