I think the big difference from that Hibs scenario is he has better players at Celtic Park but more importantly he has a number of "leaders" on the pitch who will have a big influence on the pitch and in the dressing room as a long winter season approaches. It is not all about him! There have been a number of games that Rangers played in recent months that certainly "opened my eyes" re their defensive frailties and mental weakness in "pressure situations". The Tavernier position has been well highlighted by me and I'm amazed that more footie managers do not "focus" on this guy's defensive frailty. And Barisic on Rangers left flank clearly doesn't savour a tough, physical game either as do quite a few other Rangers players - a real eyeopener, particularly when observing all the "whining" coming from them is such a situation - all Scot footie managers please note!! Also their game v a top team called Bayer Leverkusen really exposed them "on both fronts", physically and mentally", v a good team with no inferiority complex that just did enough and then clearly "took their foot off the gas" and refrained from giving this particular Rangers team a good "skelping".
