With both Celtic and “rangers ” dropping points at the weekend due to below par performances , it’s fairly clear their minds were elsewhere.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Celtic struggled to a 1-1 draw at home to Motherwell, which caused all sorts of panic, with some supporters too young to remember what a draw actually is. It’s when both sides score an equal amount of goals and gain one point each.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sooner or later we were going to be reminded that the players are only human and every now and again they won’t fire on all cylinders.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They’ll get over it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At Pittodrie, “rangers, with only the cup to play for, fared even worse, with manager Mickey Beale blaming everything and anyone he could think of for the loss. Except, obviously, his own shortfallings, which centre around tactics, man management and a stubborn refusal to accept his team aren’t very good.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Although he did say it wasn’t his team, he’d inherited the mess.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If his charges underperform and lose on Sunday, he’ll be out on his arse.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As it was at QPR, players, fans and probably even the board are beginning to see he isn’t the new Messiah after all, and the more he blames everything else, the less the players will trust him…..<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mind you, he has brought in a ruthless fitness programme, designed to toughen the squad up, demonstrated here…..<\/p>\n
