Clement must be wondering who he's upset in midst of testing pre season
According to Brummie legend, some grumpy gypsies are behind the St Andrew’s curse that has hung over Birmingham City for a century and more.
Skipper James Tavernier may be among the next to depart. If so, his final act was to hand Birmingham the opener as he headed past Liam Kelly early doors. The OG was followed up by Alfie May’s strike as Scott Wright’s slick second-half finish wasn’t enough to prevent Gers slumping abjectly to their third straight pre-season loss.
New boss Chris Davies - Brendan Rodgers’ former Celtic assistant - has shelled out £13million this summer, including the £1.2million signing of Alex Cochrane from Hearts. Clement, meanwhile, can only dream of having such funds to throw around. Tavernier was back for the first time this pre-season campaign but his deputy Goldson was missing have been given permission to fly out for talks with Aris Limassol. Whether Trabzonspor target Tavernier is still here by the time Rangers kick-off the new season at Tynecastle in nine days’ time remains to be seen.
Liam Kelly and Clinton Nsiala started for the first time too but it was the Frenchman who presented the first gift of the night as he was forced to dive in at Koji Miyoshi’s feet after a mishit clearance. Rabbi Matondo created Gers’ first opening as his charge from halfway drew in the home defence before Ridvan Yilmaz clipped the ball beyond the far post.
