Celtic supporters have been quick to shoot down former Rangers captain and propagandist, Barry Ferguson, for his ludicrous comments in his Daily Record article about Mick Beale and standards at Ibrox. The new manager who stabbed Queens Park Rangers in the back after pledging an oath of loyalty has introduced a new rule about wearing suits on matchdays and the former midfielder had an interesting, if not bizarre take on it.
In his article, Ferguson mentions that he is glad to see the return to players wearing suits on matchdays, which is fair enough. However, he then goes on to make a correlation between wearing brown brogues and winning! He says:
“You might think this is daft, but Beale ordering the theRangers squad to turn up suited and booted for home games from now on, is massive in my eyes. Wearing a suit, collar and tie and, of course, the brown brogues isn’t going to score you a goal when the match starts but this is a statement about standards.” (Daily Record)

Well it has certainly saw a response from those of a Celtic persuasion on social media to his article. Many have ridiculed the ex-Ibrox player for his view on this and have labelled it rightfully, as feel-good nonsense about their rookie coach. The media is rife with it at this current juncture and it won’t stop until Ange has seen him off just like Mr Slippy and Wee Gio.
Take a look at some of the comments…

Is there no stopping them, we’ve had:
– unleashing the new Ryan Kent
– players in suits
– the new Kamara
– turning Tillman into Messi
And now the return of brown brogues!!!!!
If only the got Beale earlier, they could have won the World Cup.
Any other traditions they can use??— Paul Donnelly (@PaulDon10250013) December 14, 2022
