"Andrew Cavenagh, the Rangers owner, got rid of a manager, a chief executive and a sporting director, as the fans hoped he would, and then spent tens of millions on players in the January window on top of the millions he spent in the summer. They have a popular manager in Danny Rohl and what looks like ambition in the boardroom. In the grand scheme of things, Rangers fans don't have a huge amount to complain about."
"Their Celtic counterparts are in a different place. Most are apoplectic with their board and split on the way to voice that anger. In the underworld of social media they are now arguing among themselves. Accusatory language is flying. Toxicity is pervasive; draining and self-defeating, but almost unavoidable. With emotion can come suspicion, bitterness and rancour."
"Both of these clubs have been soap operas all season. Rangers have an awful lot of work to do, but they are at least pointing in the right direction. With a manager to find and with the same unpopular people who appointed Nancy in charge of finding him, Celtic face significant challenges ahead."
Hearts' surprising position at the top of the Scottish Premiership has shifted expectations, placing immense pressure on Rangers and Celtic in their upcoming Old Firm match. Rangers have made significant changes under owner Andrew Cavenagh, replacing management and investing heavily in players while appointing popular manager Danny Rohl, leaving fans relatively satisfied. Celtic supporters, conversely, face deep frustration with their board and internal divisions about how to express their anger. Social media toxicity and accusations plague Celtic's fanbase, creating a draining atmosphere. Both clubs have experienced turbulent seasons, but Rangers appear to be moving in a positive direction, while Celtic must navigate finding a new manager with the same unpopular board members responsible for previous decisions.
