Despicable Me, Alex Rae is The Loser’s Loser

DESPICABLE Rangers pundit Alex Rae has excelled himself today, posting a ridiculous message on social media which has bitterness seeping from it and tells you everything you need to know about this loser and the losers who will lap it up.

Despicably Rae is attempting to use the coronavirus crisis to save the Rangers season after they have failed on the pitch in all competitions at home and abroad – they need a miracle if they are to overturn a 3-1 home defeat in the Europa League against Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League, they are 13 points behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, they lost the League Cup Final to Celtic in December and they were eliminated by bottom-of-the-league Hearts from the Scottish Cup at the quarter-final stage.

That all adds up to yet another trophy-less season for the club that founding father Charles Green formed in 2012 from the ashes of the old club that Rae played for.

Here’s Rae’s Despicable tweet where he says this: “If a horse race over a mile starts and one horse is 10 lengths clear and the rest have fallen and the lead horse falls at the last hurdle do they give the lead horse the win as he was in front and does the bookies pay out as a winner???

Asking for a friend ?

What about this then Alex?

Maybe he should consider all those earlier races when one horse won numerous handicap races but was later exposed as cheating on the weights to give it a massive sporting advantage.

Talking about paying out, Rae obviously has not considered the financial implications of a null and void outcome. Remember what Lady Hale said when she delivered the Supreme Court’s judgment on the prorogation of Parliament last year.

“The decision to advise Her Majesty to prorogue Parliament was unlawful because it had the effect of frustrating the ability of Parliament to carry out its constitutional functions without reasonable justification,” the judge said.

She added: “The prorogation was void and of no effect — Parliament has not been prorogued.”

“Unprecedented.”

“Extraordinary.”

“Gobsmacked.”

“Speechless.”

Where just some of the responses to that decision by the Supreme Court that meant that legally the prorogation never happened. It had no effect. It was null and void. And in those circumstances in relation to the horse race scenario outlined by Rae, there is zero prize money, zero television revenue and zero chance that his new club would be able to survive.

The idea that they are dying to stop Celtic reaching nine-in-a-row is literally true.

Here’s one for Alex Rae to consider from David Low. Ask Steven Gerrard if Liverpool should be awarded the Premier League title, then ask him if the same applies to Celtic. That English race started with 20 horses, right Alex? Right Steven?

And we’re not the only ones to refer Rae to the Supreme Court today.

“Tell us something Alex when cheating our game back when old club in liquidation was around how would you describe that?”
