But Scottish football has its own peculiarities. Let's focus on winning, first and foremost. Expand If we played good football chances are we would be winning. What's peculiar about Scottish football? It's one of the worst leagues in Europe and like any other league, the lower teams tend to raise their game against the better ones. I don't think there's anything special about it whatsoever. As said, if Scottish teams were so difficult to beat playing proper football, they would be proving so in Europe - instead of getting annihilated every single season. The only time we've played good football in recent memory is Warburton's first season where we blew everyone away, until the last few games.

Frankie 8,957 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Say what you like about Clarke but he's done a fantastic job with Killie. Do I want him as Rangers manager? Preferably not but I wouldn't mind a season of more pragmatic football if it meant a more reliable team that could deliver consistent results. Is he a nominal Celtic supporter? Certainly seems like he leans that way but I'm not so sure that kind of thing is a problem though I'd certainly prefer the opposite. If it was between him and McInnes, then Clark has done a better job this season but, then again, McInnes can point to longevity. Personally I'd hope we have set our sights a bit higher. But transfer budget and recent nonsense at the club may limit us there. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearing in mind this is a guy with lots of experiencing coaching at the highest level, and whose made Killie the most on form team in the league over a sustained period. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I won't pretend to know the answer to that but there's no denying Clarke's job at Killie (so far) has been mightily impressive. As for his career generally, he's done some decent work at a good level but clearly hasn't impressed enough over the piece to have ended up at Killie. As such, I'm unconvinced that he could do the same at Rangers, though I could say the same about some of the other names mentioned. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsonic5791 408 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Look at the way Clarke reacted to the Jordan Jones stuff. That should be enough to put a line through his name right away. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic pitches, the awful referees, the goldfish bowl that is Glasgow, the absolute hatred for Rangers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason why he wouldn't react the same if he faced a similar scenario at Rangers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
