Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Football - McCulloch sees no gulf in classRangers skipper Lee McCulloch claims there is little difference in standard between the Scottish Premiership and League One.Eurosport - Lee McCulloch feels there is little difference between the leagues in ScotlandGet up to £50 in Matched Bets from LadbrokesAnd the former Scotland player believes his team deserve more credit for taking 61 points out of a possible 63 so far in the third tier.McCulloch, whose team host Arbroath on Saturday, told Rangers' official website: "Having played in the SPL myself before, I don't think there's that much of a gap between the top flight and League One."It's a very thin line between the teams in the division we are currently in and the Premiership and I don't mean that disrespectfully to anyone."You look at Motherwell and they went out to Albion Rovers in the Scottish Cup this season, who weren't even at home."There was another upset at Celtic when Morton beat them at home and that just shows if you drop one per cent or hold off half a yard, you'll get punished."I think a lot of credit has to go to all our boys and the management for handling that. We've been really good this season, albeit we've not played every game the way we've wanted to."That happens every season. I just think with the amount of games we've won, we've done well and we've set a standard in the dressing room."http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/football-mcculloch-sees-gulf-class-164645165--sow.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJ 743 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 The difference is full-time players in the SPFL Premiership and shelf stackers for Asda in League One.Lee McCulloch needs to stop talking pish and defending his managers lack of management ability, concentrating more on trying to make our football look tactical and not route one.

It's like saying there's no gulf in class between the SPL and La Liga because they beat Barcelona. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbo 588 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 There's a fair difference in quality between the teams we're playing now and the teams in the top flight in my opinionLee's trying to put a positive gloss on things and talk up the opposition, though I do feel we should be respectful to the clubs at this level who for the most part have done no harm to us Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchieshearercaldow 22,350 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Don't know why the top flight teams bother playing full time staff then if there's not much difference Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
legalbeagle 3,734 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 If you guys all want to have a go at him why don't you wait until we have a cup tie and tell him you expect us to win because there is no step up in opposition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always come up but end right back down again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
