I wonder what he’ll be like with some experience under his belt and some good funds.

He has the gravitas of a potential big manager IMO. 

[Jairzinho]

That's it for Celtic. Rangers the dominant club in Scotland for at least the next five years.

[moof]

Well in Stevie

[manwiththestick]

Happy for him.

[Baltar]

Nice one Stevie.

[Bjornebye]

Fuck them. Ref was a biased cunt, Celtic played shite and yet will still win the league. 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Scott Brown. More like June ‘ Dot ‘ Brown. Ooh I say!

[Dr Nowt]

A routine victory and special mention to the ref.

 

12 heroes out there today.

[Anubis]

Pleased for Gerrard. 

[Mook]

First time I've seen a bit of Stevie in a Rangers performance today, they wanted it a lot more than Celtic. I think there might be a manager in there you know.

We will see in May Runcorn.

Good face rub from Rodgers at the end there

 

They showed a stat saying Celtic have not won after conceding the first goal this year - worrying

[Red_or_Dead]

Hope this doesn't knock Stig's confidence - we need him for match thread starting.

I'm Celtic mate but they should be pissing this. Gerrard is doing well there.

As somebody mentioned earlier looks good that Steven can obviously get players ‘ up for it ‘.

 

Reading the details on BBC Sport and have found a second team to follow having been made aware that Livingston play at the ‘ Tony Macaroni Arena ‘

 ‘Tony Macaroni’ is marketing genius.

Hate to say it but r*ngers wanted it far more today. Gordon stopped it being 3 or 4.

The ref is letting all sorts go.  Anyone goes down soft he’s not interested.  It’s actually refreshing

[Kevin D]

Tell you what, Stevie and his players will wake up in the morning knowing they were in a game on Saturday.

What must Stevie think of all this? 

 

A furious Steve Clarke accused the Rangers support of living in the dark ages after being targeted with sectarian abuse during his Kilmarnock side’s Scottish Cuppummelling by Rangers.

Chants of “sad Fenian bastard” echoed round Ibrox as the home side booked a quarter-final against Aberdeen with a 5-0 win. Alfredo Morelos struck four times on his return from suspension but Killie’s hopes were over as soon as the goalkeeper, Daniel Bachmann, was dismissed for an off-the-ball clash with Glen Kamara.

Clarke could barely contain his disgust with the referee, Alan Muir, over the decision, branding the sending-off a joke. But he saved his fiercest condemnation for the home supporters.

“It’s lovely being back in the west of Scotland, really nice,” said the former Chelsea defender. “When I was approached by Rangers about taking over the job here I was assured that ‘we don’t have that in the west of Scotland any more. It’s gone’.

“They can call me a bastard or a wanker. No problem, thanks, guys. But to call me a Fenian bastard, come on. Where are we living in? The dark ages?

“They are not allowed to call my assistant [Alex Dyer] a black b but they can call me a Fenian bastard. What are we doing in Scotland?

“I wake up every morning and thank Chelsea for coming and taking me away from the west of Scotland because my children don’t understand this. Thankfully when I go down there my children, my grandchildren don’t have to worry about this. So, fantastic to be back in Scotland.”

Steven Gerrard admitted the Rangers centre-back Joe Worrall had placed an arm on the visiting striker Eamonn Brophy when they clashed inside the Rangers area two minutes in but said Killie penalty appeals were debatable.

Clarke had no doubt about the matter and savaged Muir over his decision to send off Bachmann after the keeper was accused of elbowing Kamara at a corner 25 minutes in.

He said: “If the penalty had been given in the first two minutes it would have been different. The red card is a joke. If that’s the standards we might as well go home. Why speak? It’s every week.

“You’ll probably write about Morelos’s four goals but the officials decided the game. It’s embarrassing. The goalie just lifted his arms. Every goalie does it every week. It’s embarrassing. How can I talk about football tonight?”

Morelos gave Rangers the lead just seven minutes in and took advantage of his side’s numerical advantage to grab another on the stroke of half-time. The substitute Andy Halliday netted the third after being introduced with a quarter of an hour left while another two goals from Morelos late on took the Colombian’s tally for the season to 27.

I agree with Clarke, it has no place in the game, but citing Chelsea as his escape route from bigotry seems particularly ironic.

[Grinch]

What kind of stupid cunt goes to manage in the Scottish league and gets shocked by sectarian abuse. 

[SammyAftershave]

A Scotsman by all accounts.
