Rangers supporters will adore Neil Warnock’s statement, “My type of game that,” in his Ibrox environment confession.
Neil Warnock, the manager of Aberdeen, relished his first managerial experience in Scotland before accusing the Rangers ball boys of wasting time at the conclusion of the game.
The 75-year-old, who was named by the Dons as Barry Robson’s temporary replacement through the rest of the season, witnessed his new charges lose to Philippe Clement’s team in the Scottish Premiership by a slim margin at Ibrox.
Prolific Aberdeen scorer Bojan Miovski cancelled off Rabbi Matondo’s early breakthrough at the conclusion of the first half, and after 73 minutes, Todd Cantwell gave the home team a lead again. After a thrilling altercation, Gers substitute Dujon Sterling was shown a straight red card in the closing seconds of regulation time.
In the closing minutes of a close game, Warnock, known for his foul-mouthed outbursts and conventional managerial style, scolded the Rangers ball boys for their touchline antics despite being pleased with certain aspects of his newly acquired team’s play.
He acknowledged, “That was my kind of game.” The ambiance is something I enjoy. When you catch the ball boys wasting time in the last 10 minutes, you know you’re doing well, don’t you?
“They must receive top-notch instruction. Are they part of the starting team? They throw it back when they lose, and they hide the ball under their jumpsuits when they win. I didn’t think you done it at this point. For me, that was a fresh experience.
Warnock expressed his admiration for opposite number Clement’s squad depth by saying, “Bloody hell, let’s be fair, they’ve got some good players haven’t they.” Our boys weren’t in awe, I believe; we were just treating them with too much deference. As the game progressed, we got better.”
Commenting on the major talking point of the game, referee Don Robertson’s decision to show Dujon Sterling a red card for a late tackle on Jack MacKenzie, Warnock said: “It seems like a gutsy decision to stick with, but it does make a difference. That’s not available in England.”
