Unlike Pobrecito Alfredo, your humble correspondent is rather fond of an open goal.
Consequently, I struggled to suppress a chortle when I viewed this today.
Those damn foreign referees they’re worth a watching!
Mr MacFarlane’s observation was especially amusing as he had opined this only five days earlier.
If a lack of self-awareness were an Olympic sport, poor Jonny wouldn’t need to toil at the Sevco Review.
This particularly tragic one about the genocide choir at Ibrox from 2015 might be the highlight of his career in the Fitba Fourth Estate.
The difference at Rangers is we have the ability to face up to our problems. This club has had the strength of character and adaptability to change over the decades without ever losing the aspects that make the club special.
See, I told you it was tragic.
Meanwhile, if the Dons can get something from their weekend game against Sevco, the home crowd could turn ugly.
It would appear that many in the Ibrox klanbase have decided that the likeable Dutchman should be sacked.
The current Sevco manager asked for extra funds after he manoeuvred past PSV into the Group Stages.
He wanted three new players, and he was refused.
The simple fact is that Giovanni’s successor will have to cope with the same resource landscape.
Celtic has a bigger football budget and can maintain it on a self-sustaining basis.
To return to the subject of those pesky foreigners, imagine if Celtic were on a UEFA financial watchlist.
That statement of fact would be at the end of any piece about the Hoops.
Interestingly, the fact that the ten-year-old Ibrox club is under surveillance from UEFA seems to have disappeared off the radar.

The bold Johnny would be given a run for his money by the Staunch Richard Winton over at the Beeb: describing Tuesday’s cakewalk as a “cautiously creditable 3-0”.
Really? Oh dear.
He also thinks they’ve got a shot of qualifying for the Europa League, as only the trifling matter of a 5-0 against Ajax is required.
Remember when Steven Thompson was roundly laughed at when he asked if Dundee United still had a chance when 5-0 down at HT in Alkmaar.
The same odds are obviously no laughing matter down Ibrox way.
Going by the weight he has put on since joining The Rangers, Morelos will be opening a chippy in Glasgow called Alfredo’s as his next move
Be interesting to see what VAR throws up at the weekend. Couple of pens to appease the Klan or an early Don’s sending off. Surely not !
You can hear them, walking away, marching to the exits like a rageing bull with tooth ache. The group they were plotted into, they said, we can beat Napoli, we can take points off Ajax and Liverpool. How did that pan out Bhunstars?
The Dutch man in charge was thrown a rope after beating PSV. Someone in the boardroom forgot to tie on the life raft, he has been floundering with the Clan since then. His domestic record is OK given they have only lost one game. Aberdeen could heap enormous pressure on him. And they will turn on him like savage wolves.
Celtic’s defeat to St. Mirren threw them a life line.
Gio’s days are numbered, unless Celtic hand out another, early present to them before the world cup break.
European football is over for Scotland this season. What’s new.
Weirdly, TRFC fans on social media are claiming that the Ibrox club is still in Europe with a chance of qualifying for the Europa League.
B b b but they are. They only need to beat Ajax by 5 clear goals.
I believe that they actually do have a chance. IF they beat Ajax by a margin of FIVE goals on match day six.
I reckon that gives them the same chance of survival as a live fish being released on top of a desert mountain.
Much more worrying to me, is the fact that Real now NEED a victory on the last day to guarantee finishing top of our section.
