Gers now have to stay awake for a big domestic test

Rangers fans might not be allowed into games right now but they can maybe still help their side in other ways by taking a bit of inspiration from the Dutch boys last week.

A few naughty Willem II fans thought they were doing their side a turn ahead of the Europa League clash on Thursday night by letting off fireworks outside the Gers team hotel early in the morning.

But in the end it was their team that got done a cracker.

It’s too late now but it might have given Steven Gerrard’s men a boost if their punters went around some of the plush estates in Glasgow and set off a few Catherine Wheels ahead of today’s game at Motherwell.

Perhaps this is the way to get around the Rangers European and domestic paradox.

It’s a tough one to explain. How can Gers be so brilliant on the road on the continent, yet have a tendency to labour on their travels in Scotland?

Incredibly, Gerrard’s side have won just four of their 10 Scottish Premiership away games in 2020.
