Leaders in the dressing room need to step up according to David Robertson who remembers the strife of 29 years ago.
David Robertson shudders at the memory of an August week at Ibrox that was WORSE than the four-day catastrophe that’s thrown Michael Beale’s Rangers revolution into turmoil.
And in return the manager ensured none of the pressure seeped into his players. Parallels between then and now could easily be drawn after Gers’ Champions League hopes were brutally ended by PSV Eindhoven in a 5-1 hammering in Holland before Celtic visited Govan to take the first derby bragging rights of the campaign.
Robertson said: “August 1994, aye that wasn’t a good start. A number of players came in. Big players like Basil Boli and Brian Laudrup - big names expected to take us to the next level. Early on it just didn’t happen. They were still trying to settle into the team. “In ’94 that Athens result lingered for a while. There was no escape to another level of European football.
