Robin Propper savages Scottish football as Rangers flop reveals moment everything ‘turned upside down'

Robin Propper has labelled Scottish football 'kick and rush' and full of impatient fans who demand the ball is lumped up the pitch. But the former Rangers defender, back at FC Twente Enschede, admitted he enjoyed it his short stint in Scotland. Propper was sold by Russell Martin after only a year at Ibrox in what was a tough season for the 31-year-old, who was not in the plans of the new regime after a summer of change in Govan.

He said: "In Scottish football, the crowd wants everything to happen immediately. That's what people want. The ball has to be kicked towards the goal as soon as possible. "You see a lot of one-on-one duels, which means you end up playing in large spaces. It's kick and rush. "That's part of the culture. That's how football is played. It's a completely different dynamic to here. "I'm not a true man-marker and you certainly see a lot of that there. My better games came in the Europa League, where we reached the quarter finals deservedly. "I rely on coaching and composure on the ball. That's why they brought me in. To make the transition to a more polished game. "It was a different world for me, but it was wonderful to experience. Scotland truly breathes football. Footballers are revered. The nostalgia, the history, the sheer fanaticism in the stadiums. It's truly special. "Celtic v Rangers has been a very special match for decades. And it still is, although Rangers unfortunately lost out in the significant games to Celtic. "Rangers didn't win the title either and then everything suddenly turned upside down. "There was a new owner and a new manager. They brought in new players, including players in my position. I took my time to assess that, but I realised it would be a difficult situation. So unfortunately, my adventure in Scotland ended prematurely. "

SPFL would allow Rangers fixture postponement U-turn as St Mirren caught in middle of confusion

Rangers will not be forced to go through with a planned postponement of this month's league clash at St Mirren if Russell Martin U-turns on the decision to book a Champions League break. The Ibrox club have officially notified the SPFL - and announced in a statement to their own fans - of their intention to pull the plug on the trip to Paisley on Sunday August 24 if Martin and his men successfully negotiate their way through tonight's Euro qualifier against Viktoria Plzen. But Record Sport understands they will be allowed to withdraw that request by league bosses if, as seems the case, Martin has had a sudden change of heart. READ MORE: Robin Propper savages Scottish football as Rangers flop reveals moment everything 'turned upside down' READ MORE: I know exactly what Auston Trusty is going through at Celtic so write him off at your peril After a 3-0 romp at Ibrox last week Rangers are heavy favourites to make it through to the final play-off hurdle and secure a two legged £40m play-off showdown with either RB Salzburg or Club Brugge. And St Mirren have already informed their own supporters, in that case, the top flight meeting will have to be rearranged for later in the season. But Martin appeared to pivot back from his own club's request after arriving in the Czech Republic on Monday night. After failing to win either of his two opening games in the Premiership against Motherwell and Dundee, Martin is facing the potential nightmare scenario of falling ten points behind Celtic before the end of the month. Also, defender Nasser Djiga will be suspended for the first Old Firm derby of the season at Ibrox on August 31 unless Martin's side goes ahead with the original fixture schedule. The £10m Wolves man would be available for selection against the champions if he sits out the St Mirren match instead. And, speaking ahead of tonight's match, Martin said: 'No decision has been made either way. We were told the option would be there. "But the plan has always been to play the game, depending on what happened on Tuesday night and if we get through this. It's flexible. 'But the league table this early will not dictate what we do with the game.' Martin, however, went on to admit that the prospect of falling double digits behind the champions has been brought to his attention. Should Celtic extend their flawless start to the campaign with a third successive league win on Saturday, August 23 Brendan Rodgers and his side will open up a seven point lead over their city rivals. And if they back that up with a win at Ibrox it'll become a 10 point chasm - unless Rangers do press ahead with the planned trip to Paisley and take something from St Mirren on their own pitch. Martin said last night: 'Someone mentioned to me this morning, 'Oh this can happen, this permutation and all this stuff,'. But it's just not something we're going to get caught up with. 'We're not even at the end of August yet, so we'll see. But our league position, the points table and all that stuff, will not dictate what we do with the St Mirren game at all. 'So, at this minute, I expect we'll play. If that changes because for whatever reason, we feel it will help us. But we have to win This game tomorrow first as well. So we'll see.' Record Sport understands officials on Hampden's sixth floor will not stick rigidly to the decision to shift the fixtures around, in the event that Rangers do decide to revert to the original match schedule. A source said: 'The rules are there to give clubs the opportunity to postpone a match. If a club wishes to withdraw such a request the SPFL would have no issue.' St Mirren, though, have already told their own supporters that the Rangers game will be moved if Martin and his players get past Plzen. In a club statement issued on August 5 the club said: 'Our William Hill Premiership home match against Rangers has been selected for live coverage on Sky Sports and is due to take place on Sunday 24th August with a 12 noon kick-off. 'However, following a request from Rangers, the match will be postponed if they reach the play-off round of the Champions League.'

Celtic fans set new title record as Rangers and Russell Martin served bleak sentence by Hotline jury

It could be the earliest finish to the Premiership season ever. September 1 would have to be a new record but - according to Celtic fans - that's when Brendan Rodgers' side will effectively be handed the trophy. Because they'll have beaten Russell Martin's ropey Rangers to potentially go 10 points clear at the top of the table - before we've even had an international break. READ MORE: SPFL would allow Rangers fixture postponement U-turn as St Mirren caught in middle of confusion READ MORE: I know exactly what Auston Trusty is going through at Celtic so write him off at your peril It's all hypothetical, of course, but after Celtic's win at Pittodrie and Gers slipping up against Dundee, the Hoops supporters on the Hotline are in confident mood. And on the other side of the city, Martin is feeling the heat already. In fact, some cocky Parkhead punters think the Ibrox gaffer might struggle to get into SECOND place. First up, Gordon Ashley from Ayr said: 'Why are Rangers fans getting so upset? When you see their true position in Scottish football, last year Aberdeen were the champions' biggest challengers for silverware - and this year it will be Hearts. 'Celtic are more than double the size of their club and the glory days are over for Rangers, so get used to it guys.' Eddie Eason, Ballingry, said: 'The boring Hotline caller, Alan Fleet, says he'd bet money on Celtic losing to the minnows his team have played. 'Really? That's why one bookie is already paying out on Celtic winning the league.' Bud Hay, Dumfries, said: 'I don't see that other mob bragging much this season. After saying they'd win this and that - it's now very quiet at Ibrox. This is so easy for Celtic, I don't see us dropping many points at all this season. The gap is growing.' Steven McSherry, Uddingston, said: 'With Hibs and Hearts in good shape, it augurs well for Celtic as we need a challenge to keep us sharp. 'With Rangers now a spent force in Scottish football we need others to provide strong competition.' Stephen Johnstone from Ardentinny, at least tried to add a bit of humour - if you can call it that - by saying: 'What do Rangers' Premiership starts and peeling onions have in common? Ultimately, they both end in tears.' Don't give up the day job, Stephen. At Ibrox, all is not well after their home draw with the Dark Blues where fans made their feelings known towards Martin. And he wasn't getting much Hotline sympathy either. David Thomson from Milngavie said: 'Martin isn't helping himself with some of the things he's coming out with. He says Rangers are now unbeaten in five games but supporters don't want to hear that. 'If we lose to Celtic at Ibrox on August 31 and go 10 points behind, the league season will be over and the kids are barely back at school. That's not good enough.' The Gers gaffer was cut a bit of slack by Drew Ferguson from Oban who said: 'Irrespective of whether you like or dislike Martin, he needs to be given time. New players are still trying to develop relationships on the pitch. 'What is clear is that Max Aarons isn't superior to anything we've already got. And Martin still needs a left-back, centre-back and striker.' Elsewhere, Hearts have started the season on fire and - if Tony Bloom is to be believed - will mount a title challenge of their own. Unsurprisingly, their rivals from across the city aren't having it. Neil Renton from Leith said: 'Never mind Liam Gallagher having a go at Edinburgh Council - it can't be long before Hearts fans do the same. 'After all, how come they've not been allowed to have a parade after winning the league? Some might say the Jambos shouldn't get too carried away after just two games!' Someone who won't get carried away, despite being on the verge of a massive move to Serie A, is humble Scotland star Lennon Miller. The 18-year-old is on his way to Udinese where he'll join the likes of Scott McTominay, Billy Gilmour and Lewis Ferguson in the Italian top flight. Celtic were rumoured to be interested in Miller but one punter says that was never going to happen. Stephen Mulhern from Dumbarton said: 'The will he, won't he Miller saga is reaching a conclusion as he heads to Italy. 'I don't agree this is a John McGinn situation for Celtic. The fact is, we have an abundance of talent in midfield and Miller would have been warming the bench. At this stage of his career, he obviously wants to be in a starting line-up.'
