So what you are saying is that the reason Rangers are just behind Celtic in the league and are now getting to cup finals is nothing to do with what Rangers themselves have done but is actually a product of the rest of Scottish football basically being shite???  Ok, if thats you assessment then fine, but it still means Rangers are now the 2nd best team in Scotland and however that has come about they are closer to Celtic than they have been for years.  They may not win anything but nobody bar Celtic has won anything for quite a while anyway!!!

Also I was clear about putting in the "on the field" statement, you guys are far better versed in what may or may not be going on off the field and it would appear that by any fiscal measure then Rangers are still well behind Celtic off the field but on it they appear to be closer.

They HAVE improved, just nowhere near as much as is being made out AND they are hugely reliant on morelos. The rest of the league HAS regressed badly early in the season - Clarke has left killie, Aberdeen had a iffy start, the Edinburgh clubs both have struggled with poor management.

By the law of averages, they've signed so many players & gone through so many managers that eventually they had to make improvements.

If they don't win something this season the monkeys will turn on gerrard big time.
