BBC journalist Tom English shares instant reaction as Rangers pull out of Sydney Cup
Tom English has shared his instant reaction to Rangers pulling out of the Sydney Cup on Thursday afternoon.
The BBC journalist hit out at the Bears after their “pursuit of millions” clearly clouded their judgment at Ibrox.
It was starting to become all about the Ange Postecoglou homecoming tour, something that simply embarrassed others involved.
Writing on his personal Twitter account, English shared his instant reaction to the news breaking today.
“Good idea to expand commercial horizons but when this Ange Homecoming narrative took hold Rangers needed to ditch it pronto,” he said.
“In their pursuit of millions, it took a long time for the penny to drop.”
Shocker.
Whoever thought this was a good idea in the first place, seriously needs to give their head a shake regardless of this.
The Ibrox board surely must have given some consideration to the outrage it would cause among the fans, but instead, they only mentioned the commercial benefits it could bring.
Even though the right thing has finally been done, this won’t be allowed to just slip under the carpet, and everyone should know that.
It also adds another level to this Old Firm game on Sunday if it needed it, with this huge potential title-deciding clash the biggest derby we have seen in years.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst and his players won’t care about this update right now, and all they will be concentrating on are matters on the pitch.
Bring home them points.
