So the 150 year old club play the 11 year old club tonight, yeah right!

You have to laugh at the media this morning and their reports on RB Leipzig. They really do think the whole of Scottish football – outside of the Ibrox club – is completely stupid.

In the Daily Record, Gavin Berry talks about the clubs having many similarities, like starting in the lower divisions of their leagues.

I note how this was worded:

““Like the Ibrox side, the Germans were also languishing in the fourth tier of their country’s league set up a decade ago.””

No mention of how or why they got there, though?

““And they have both risen through their respective ranks to the top flight and now the last four of Uefa’s second tier competition””

Yes, that much is right, because they both started there as new clubs.

Apparently not, as Gavin Berry is at pains to point out:

““However, that is where the similarities end. For while ‘Ra****s’ celebrate their 150th anniversary this year, the Bundesliga side were only formed in 2009.””

There you have it.

How could we all have been so stupid to think they’re a new club?

At least Gavin has set the record straight for any fools like me out there.

Yeaaaaah.

Unfortunately for him, we’re not that stupid. Let me straighten things up for you a bit there Gavin.

Red Bull Leipzig are three years older than the Ibrox club. It’s simple mathematics really, one club was founded in 2009, the other – the Ibrox club – was founded in 2012.

Intelligent Scottish football supporters know this and no matter how much you try to airbrush it – in the hopes that we’ll eventually ignore it and it will go away – it won’t.

But apparently, RB Leipzig lack the history of the Ibrox club. Eh no, their history is three years older than the Ibrox club.

They didn’t buy any history, they’ve pretty much created their
