# Rangers: Charlie Nicholas slams Gers’ achievements

**Charlie Nicholas has accused Glasgow Rangers of being “chokers” and has questioned Steven Gerrard’s achievements at Ibrox.**

### **Nicholas questions Rangers**

The Gers have already wrapped up the Premiership title and are also unbeaten in the league so far this term ([BBC](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/scottish-premiership/table)), but they are out of the Europa League and also lost prematurely in both the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup.

Writing for the Express ([via Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/charlie-nicholas-savages-rangers-chokers-23988437)), Nicholas has accused the Gers of being “chokers”. He said:

> *“Winning the Premiership title as easily as they did disguised a lot of their faults.*
>
> *“Many of the Ibrox players have downed tools since becoming champions.*
>
> *“Yes, they knocked Celtic out of the Scottish Cup the weekend before last, but the hard work isn’t done until you finish the season and pick up the trophies.*
>
> *“Steven Gerrard must be scratching his head. The Rangers manager still has so much to do and improve at Ibrox to make things right.”*

### **Over the top**

Gerrard will be disappointed that his team have been unable to get their hands on more than one trophy this season – he [said as much](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11788/12287311/steven-gerrard-rangers-boss-refuses-to-blame-title-celebrations-for-st-johnstone-scottish-cup-defeat) in the immediate aftermath of the Scottish Cup quarter-final exit to St Johnstone. There is definitely a feeling that the Gers have missed an opportunity here.

However, for Nicholas to say they are chokers is over the top. At the end of the day, the Gers have [ended Celtic’s nine-year hold](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scottish-premiership/erfolge/wettbewerb/SC1) on the league title, and they still have the chance to go the league season unbeaten. There is no doubt about it – it has still been a successful campaign for Gerrard and his players, and no-one should try to take that away from them.
