It doesn’t feel too long ago that Neil Warnock was drafted in as Aberdeen manager – but he is now back to showing his support for Rangers.
The 75-year-old spent an ill-fated 32-day spell in the hot seat at Pittodrie before he walked away from life in the Scottish Premiership – with Peter Leven left to steady the ship before the arrival of Jimmy Thelin in the Granite City. But Warnock clearly hasn’t given up his interest in Scotland’s top flight as he rubbed shoulders with the Rangers support before their clash with Hibs in front of a full house at Ibrox for the first time this season.
Warnock hasn’t been shy in floating his admiration for the Light Blues. He proclaimed back in 2020 during the January transfer window that he was a ‘Rangers guy,’ earning him acclaim at Ibrox. He then went on to temper his allegiance Blue Sea of Ibrox when he confessed he would have liked to have challenged both the blue half of Glasgow and Celtic at the top of the table. Before joining Aberdeen, he said: “I would have liked Hearts or Hibs so I could have had a go at the big-time clubs like Celtic and Rangers.”
During his one clash with Rangers in charge of the Dons, he was less than pleased as he took aim at the BALL BOYS for their time wasting antics. However, it appears all is forgiven. PLZ cameras snapped the experienced gaffer greeting the punters outside the stadium.
