I too feel he is winging it, but he is saying what the masses want to hear. It's the same with the winter break "friendly" - the Germans are not interested in Rangers as a football team, merely interested in the masses who would follow them and spend their money.

They struggle to beat very ordinary teams in the SPL, so they've not much chance against anybody else.

If they do aspire to be the best, I would think they'd be better off keeping quiet about it and not invite unnecessary setbacks along the way.
