I think a lack of success and the amount of so-near-but-so-far occasions over recent seasons have made a lot of people in the support quite bitter, even resentful toward some players, Goldson being one of them.
I'm not in any way defending the wave of negativity on socials with this announcement, far from it, I agree with people that it's embarrassing. I also, from a certain angle, see the point of view of those who only see winners medals as the barometer for any kind of personal accolade at Rangers, I understand that we have standards and expectations as a support, but those standards and exceptions are also mirrored back onto us as fans and supporters.
We can't have folk abusing our own players on socials over an award and it has to be taken into account what John Greig considers when looking at who to bestow the award on each year. Connor Goldson has hit 300 games in record time, barely misses a game, and has recovered from serious heart surgery to do so. You can't be demanding that this and that is what makes a Ranger when you don't do so yourselves.
And I'm trying to type this up and be as balanced as I can, but the context of the award and who hands it out has to taken into account. It's not the John Greig "Who's Won The Most" Achievement Award.
