The Ibrox club is desperate. Celtic fans know what a desperate Ibrox club will do.
It’s amazing I have time to write during the day because I read so much during the day. Furthermore, there is the
overwhelming volume of content that is forwarded to me. In addition, I find a lot of general oddity in the world, and
I happened onto a story that had me laughing aloud. I would like to talk about that today, but in a more general sense.
After the game, Johnston Ferguson expressed his suspicions about his loss to the media, saying, “My conker
disintegrated in one hit, and that just doesn’t happen.” I’m surprised by this and have told the organisers that I think
there may be foul play.
There are people who will do anything for a plaque on the wall or a trophy for their cabinet, no matter how trivial it
might seem to you or me. Within their little worlds, these people want to be top dog, and they won’t stop at anything
to win the glory and acclaim of their peers.
That’s conkers for you. I bet you didn’t even know there was a world championship for it. Well, now you do. And even
in a sport as niche as that, there are people willing to cheat. Imagine how far some folks are prepared to go when the
stakes are much, much higher.
I authored one of the most divisive articles in this website’s history a few years ago. The article, titled “Ibrox Days of
Hope or an Ibrox Haze of Dope,” examined the usage of caffeine stimulants in athletic competition.
This was also no wild theory—those substances were and probably still are used extensively in football. Some of the personnel involved were employed by elite Premier League clubs, and they were pioneered in continental Europe. At
least one of those people was the former manager of Ibrox and captain of Liverpool, Steven Gerrard.
That article raised critical questions about the Ibrox operation under Gerrard, specifically asking whether the radical
changes in the physicality of some of their players were achieved through legitimate means.
I based the piece on a series of articles that had appeared elsewhere, many of which suggested that what was
happening at Ibrox was abnormal. In fact, some Rangers fans, familiar with the writer, Alan Moore’s work on
caffeine doping, had emailed him asking if he thought it could explain the sudden and drastic physical development
of some of their own players.
He wrote a stunning paragraph in one of his articles:
In short, if someone at Ibrox decided to try something underhanded, there are few avenues available for exposing
that behaviour. The people responsible for policing the game aren’t equipped—or willing—to do their jobs. We
already believe there’s institutional bias at the SFA, with evidence of assistance in refereeing decisions clearly
established, but the media chose to ignore it.
Do I mean that the Ibrox club is already cheating or that they will undoubtedly cheat in the future?
No, but it’s not completely ruled out. It cannot be ruled out. Clubs in a difficult situation will do desperate things, and
Ibrox clubs have a history of taking advantage of any opportunity they can.
The Ibrox club is in danger with the international break almost over and a challenging schedule ahead of them. Their
managers are getting more and more frantic to stop Celtic’s ascent and their team’s decline. Nothing is off the table,
even though I’m not sure what they’ll try.
Every one of us needs to be alert to that possibility—and we hope our club is too.
