McGhee-I may rest my stars for Celtic Game


Recommended Posts

At least the title is in our own hands,we just need to take care of our own games and him and all the other BHEASTS will suffer together

 

This has got to act as a springboard for us! we are more than capable of looking after ourselves and dont need any favours from anyone! and certainly not the sheep as they always lie down to the mopes anyway....

Tony Mowbray’s Celtic could face an under-strength Aberdeen side, according to Mark McGhee

 

 

 

 

Fuming Rangers fans’ chief John Macmillan today called on the SPL to take action against Aberdeen boss Mark McGhee if he fields a weakened team against Celtic tomorrow.

 

Gers supporters are incensed after former Celtic striker McGhee revealed he would rest some of his top-team stars against his old club in ESPN’s live televised match at Pittodrie.

 

The Dons boss reckons it is more important for his side to be at full strength in their Active Nation Scottish Cup fifth-round replay against Raith Rovers on Tuesday night.

 

But followers of the Ibrox club, currently eight points ahead of their Old Firm rivals in the SPL, feel if he leaves his leading stars out it will make a mockery of the division.

 

Walter Smith’s side dropped three points when they lost 1-0 to an Aberdeen team featuring all their best players on their last trip to Pittodrie back in November.

 

And Macmillan, general secretary of the Rangers Supporters’ Association, feels the governing body would be entitled to punish McGhee for his controversial actions.

 

He said: “I am very unhappy about this, but not surprised.

 

“Since he was appointed Aberdeen manager, Mark McGhee has mentioned Celtic in his comments to the media on numerous occasions. He was foolish enough to say Celtic was his first love when he was appointed.

 

“I would have thought Aberdeen’s top priority this season was to finish in the top six. If he fields a weakened team he is jeopardising that. I don’t imagine Aberdeen fans will be very happy with their manager.

 

“I am not a biased or bigoted person whatsoever, but the number of times McGhee has mentioned Celtic since he has been appointed Aberdeen boss does make you wonder.”

 

Macmillan added: “There is no doubt in my mind that the SPL should look at this and take action if he does field a weakened team.”

 

McGhee believes the SPL meeting with Tony Mowbray’s title-cashing Celtic team is less important to his team than their replay with Raith next week.

 

He said: “We do not necessarily have to beat Celtic to finish fourth in the SPL and make Europe. We do have to beat Raith in the cup.

 

“We need our strongest squad to be fit for Tuesday so I will need to be careful who I pick.”

 

The SPL is becoming a joke. If McGhee goes through with this he should be banned from managing in Scotland.

 

I moved this to the Rangers chat as i feel it has Rangers issue's.
