🗣️ Gary Neville: “If you've prepared for seven months of a season, four days before the game and then you need a huddle 10 seconds before kick-off to talk and motivate each other, you've done something wrong in your preparation.
"No words can help you, in my opinion. No words should be able to help you seconds before a football match. You've done all your preparations. You've analysed the player you are playing against. You know how to create opportunities if you're an attacking player.
"You're in the changing room 10 minutes before you go out. You've said everything. What more can be said in a huddle out on the pitch? It's just for show.
"The fans won't be conned by that. They will judge you on your performance.
"It won't intimidate a good team. It didn't intimidate Newcastle. It's weird to do it in the centre of the pitch. It's like 'what's the most gimmicky thing we can do to make people believe we have team spirit?'
"I think it's a nonsense. The whole thing is a nonsense. Stop doing it."
NINE-DARTER FOR JOSH ROCK IN BELFAST! 🚨
One of the all-time great Premier League Darts moments as Rock sinks a nine-darter in front of his adoring fans 🤯
I’m actually baffled at the amount of people who are backing Mo over the manager and the club.
Yes Mo has been incredible but my god.
No one is bigger than the club and he has single handedly made this shit show of a season a million times worse with his comments.
Bizarre.
Based on reports, Russell Martin has made similar "it has to start" remarks at least twice this season: before the July Panathinaikos qualifier and now ahead of Sunday's Livingston match. Theoretically, it could "restart" after every poor result—up to 38 league games plus cups. Here's to Rangers finding consistency!
