To be fair though, winning the Treble in scotland with Rangers is surely expected? in fact, I'm quite sure that Rangers and Celtic fans IRL expect to win the 3 competitions every season, so to do what is expected would still mean that the manager is somewhat unproven, if they did the same the next season and performed well in europe, then they would be a proven successful manager. Thus is why I said flash in the pan
Rangers have won a domestic treble seven times in the last 60 years. With how strong Celtic are now, do you not think a manager who took them to that feat again would not be lauded?

Yeah I suppose it's a fair point, Unproven was probably a bad choice of word, maybe low reputation would have been better? But then again, I suppose you would have a fairly high national reputation if you won the treble?

I certainly wouldn't think they were fantastic, Celtic are extremely average under Strachan and the squad Smith has built (i.e. the in game squad) is extremely strong. As a Rangers fan, I fully expect the team to challenge and win the treble almost every year, nevermind how many time weve done it in the past. The only actual gauge for success in Scotland right now is Europe, with the added benefit of possibly beating Celtic in the league.
