It’s season-ticket renewal time at Ibrox, and you know what that means – another delusional rant from Dave King.
The Rangers chairman has been at it again. He’s given his annual prediction that the Ibrox side are closing in on Scottish football domination. Despite the fact Rangers are sitting 11 points behind a Celtic side closing in on another treble, King isn’t convinced.
He’s claimed on the official Rangers website that his club are “within tangible reach of Rangers becoming the dominant force in Scottish football again”.
Celtic fans have been reacting to his lengthy message to the Rangers fans. So, here’s a look at some of our support’s best reaction to it on Twitter:

It’s nothing we’re not used to
King is at his very best when he’s spouting nonsense. It what he thrives in. If it’s not demeaning Celtic’s achievements then it’s giving delusional predictions like this.
But the Rangers chairman likely says these things to get a reaction from supporters on both sides. He’ll have the fishing hook out to try and antagonise the Celtic support. And why not? After all, it will help him reel in the season ticket renewal sales and get more money in.
Meanwhile, whilst King continues to spout this hopeful nonsense, Celtic continue to achieve genuine success on the football front. Speaking of tangible success, the Hoops are on course for a sensational nine consecutive domestic trophies. That, Mr King, is domination. And Rangers are absolutely nowhere near it.
Rangers at times have been closer than we would’ve liked this season. But after the winter break when Celtic got their act together, they proved to be no challenge whatsoever. But considering their extreme lack of success, it’s no real surprise they’ll latch onto any sort of sign of progress they can and start their delusional predictions about next season.
Celtic fans on social media have generally been reacting to this with laughter. No wonder. We all know how King likes to play the game. Having cheap pops at Celtic and our dominance helps reel in season-tickets.
That’s all this is. Nothing more and nothing less.
