Celtic: Fans taunt Steven Gerrard over his criticism of Steve Clarke and Scottish FA

Steven Gerrard has accused Scotland manager Steve Clarke and the national team’s coaching set-up of being “careless” in their handling of Ryan Jack.

The Daily Record reported that Gerrard was unhappy with the 27-year-old being asked to do an intense session in the wake of a knee injury just two days after his club’s 0-2 defeat to Celtic, adding that the Scottish FA were aware of the situation.

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard unhappy with “careless” Scottish FA. Ryan Jack doubt for Sat. “Unfortunately he was asked to do an 11k session 2 days after an Old Firm which made his knee flare up…you should never ever do 11k after playing 90 mins…that’s the education I’ve had”

Jack played the full 90 minutes for Rangers in the derby defeat to the Hoops at the start of this month, a result which saw Celtic open up a three-point lead on their rivals as they seek to win a ninth consecutive Premiership title.

Following that defeat, Gerrard has now lost three of his five matches against Celtic since taking charge at Rangers, having also been beaten in both Premiership meetings at Celtic Park last season. [via TransferMarkt.co.uk]
