Those of you who are old enough to remember our UEFA Cup run back in 2003 will know that Steven Gerrard failed to boss Celtic at the peak of his powers, that a former teammate is talking him up at 38 is laughable.
The call has come from Danny Murphy who played alongside Slippy for years at Anfield, he is now forgetting all about the JF96 movement and giving deluded interviews for
This of course is a fantasy concoted in the minds of the superior thinking southerners who would have us believe that any product from the best league on earth is surely good enough to beat Celtic.
Many will remember Joey Barton and his big mouth shooting off at Broony before coming to Paradise and failing to look the skipper in the eye as they shook hands, the rest is history with Dembele bagging the first ever hattrick vs the Newco and Senderos showing why old washed up players from the Premier League are cannon fodder to us.
It wasn’t long before a coffee machine was being taken from Sir Minty’s training ground and the Magic hat floated away with Celtic off to claim an undefeated treble.
With a treble treble beckoning, Sevco can play spoiler on the points table but are already out of the cup, the time to inject Gerrard if at all would have been in January after a month of training to get him up to scratch.
Alas, he stayed in his brown brogues, I beg him to swap those for his boots and have a crack at our midfield, the Captain loves pretenders with big names and fancy accents, the destruction of Gerrard on and off the pitch will make this season all the better.
