With the domestic league season currently up in the air amid the global pandemic, Rangers are sending some of their most important players home.
The suggestion that the league could be restarted before August is beginning to sound less possible by the day as football clubs, retail outlets and everything in between grind to a halt.
The decision to send first-team players home suggests that Rangers don’t hold out much hope the season will restart any time soon, but let’s be honest, it’s not exactly bad news.
Footballwise at least.
Regardless of what happens next – as everyone’s staunchness is currently measured in how defiant they are to their latest league title – Rangers fans are probably doing alright from this.
Leverkusen aside – in ordinary circumstances in an (extra)ordinary Ibrox we’d have possibly rattled them – our season was beginning to look increasingly bleak.
Watching our Glasgow rivals gallop to another treble knowing fine well we had no-one to blame but ourselves was a genuinely vomit-inducing possibility.
Whilst there are undoubtedly more important things than league titles at hand, anyone suggesting there was still a chance (and I include myself in this) is being incredibly advantageous.
Never say never, no surrender, I can’t see anyone at Ibrox giving the title away without one hell of a fight. And so we shouldn’t.
But the notion that we should feel hard done by, either way, is one no honest Rangers fan could possibly defend in good faith.
