I believe that Ally is a real Rangers man and has Rangers at heart, but can't see the damage he is and has done to the team. I hope he leaves without a pay off so he can tell the truth behind the scenes or donate his pay off to supporters groups to aid a buy out.

I truly hope you are right as it is sad to see the demise of a Rangers Legend

Ally will give nothing to anyone othrrer than hiself

Ally putting his resignation in. this is all stage set, been planned for a wee while, this is not just been decided today or yesterday. I think they knew they wouldn't beat Q. O. S. and then they got to go to hibs. and they won't beat them either. ally's time is up, I think he realises that now. butchers set up for this but can't see him doing any better, same players, no cash, next fall guy. ally was sh&&te as a manager, but no other manager in Britain has had to go through what he has, so have a wee bit of sympathy for him. it will all come out in the washing as they say

12 Dec 2014 21:53:30
Now listening to ally mccoist after tonights game, he is saying he will be here for the foreseeable future

12 Dec 2014 21:34:36
What about Moshni? How does he get a game? Surely there are better options. As for big jig he's been a great Ranger but shouldn't he getting the team picked round about him and everybody played out of position to accommodate him. Lee should be a sub at best now we loose goals all the time through central defense its obvious that it doesn't work.
Will our over rated over paid dunses blame the master tacticians anouncment as an excuse, the poor wee things worrying about their massive wages, no wonder they won't get them anywhere else!

12 Dec 2014 22:15:12
the problem has happened since moshni came back in the team and darren shoved to right back before this we were staring look half decent in defense as wee struggle to score goal maybe jig should play up front

RM Gers ` I've been saying this for ages yes its time for a change of manager but he is entitled to the pay off just like all the directors who went before with their pockets full who released the fact he had tendered his resignation that should have remained within the boardroom the players need to take a long hard look at themselves so do the boardroom not one player stood up to be counted they have gave up as well the club is in freefall and its not all at Allys door so by all means have a go at him but remember the team have let him down and we have a board that are an utter disgrace and I think a lot will come out over the next few days roll on the AGM last years was stormy but this year will be explosive so Ally please please hold on till after that AGM don't give them any wriggle room then if you do get your pay off and go don't sign any gagging order we need to know what is going on upstairs

Defense had a horror show. McGregor looks lost at right back, Two centre halves were MIA for second goal. Aird was good last two years as he was up against part timers so his pace and fitness made him look good against these guys. Now he is in against other pros they can match him for pace and fitness so he looks ordinary at best. Out of all the guys out on loan I'm surprised he was not one of them. Same for McCulloch at centre half, its not his position, has not grown up playing it, does not know all the little short cuts and things that go with experience of playing a position for years like Davie Weir had. He was always going to get caught out against other pros. Would have liked the young Canadian boy get a run at centre half but he would have need an old head next to him. I'm really taking to this lounge chair coaching :) lol

Craig maybe jig should sit on the bench, allowing the defenders on the bench to get on to the park

Cooper boy it wouldn't surprise me if they are trying to keep ally at the club until after the agm, for fear of what he could say if they paid him off tomorrow, ally holds a lot of shares so could say a lot at the agm, if he was no longer the manager.

The problem in the defence is simple it lee mcculloch. The man is not a defender he filled in this position he spent 15 of his twenty years of playing in different positions than centre half. He still makes rookie centre half mistakes yet is leading our line at the back if u watch closely he always seems to be the one out of position

12 Dec 2014 21:23:49
Poorest Rangers side I've ever seen in my 46 years on God's earth, without doubt. Will we finish second?
I wonder if Ian Black gets embarrassed driving his Bentley? To think he was ready to go back to painting and decorating because he couldn't get a contract then along comes the master tactician and gives him 7 grand a week, the mob from the east couldn't even write this script!

Here here terrible team clear out desperatly needed players nd coaches

12 Dec 2014 22:25:39
@1 Well it only took 3 hours of your time to decide he is no legend.

12 Dec 2014 20:35:10
Half time 1 down what does mccoist see in aird the boy could'nt cross the road & what does Clark have to do to get a game,

Well done to Hearts on winning the Championship. They have went about things in the exact opposite way that we have.

Disgraceful that Ally publicly tendered his resignation just hours before this vital match but to be honest I think QOS would have beat us anyway. In fact for the first time in my life I really thought about betting against us for the first time.

A disgrace, guy's like waddell, struth, wallace etc will be turning in their grave's at the shambles this club has become.

The Rangers taught a football lesson tonight by a well organised, managed team. It now put's the board in a very sticky situation. As sticky as sticky the stick insect getting stuck on a sticky bun.

12 Dec 2014 21:48:02
What do you expect the guy can't even resign properly. Go and become a legend again

Mcc, No matter the score to-night, if amcc's actions today are not seen for the final boot in the himallaws, I don't know what is. He is taking the total hiss out of us and I sincerely hope that all his backers are happy. If reports are true this really is the final straw for many, and more than that the club is taken to an even lower state than it was in. Who would have believed that to be possible?

12 Dec 2014 22:20:29
Game over as inept as Ally is with tactics the players have got to take a helluva lot of blame for that debacle if Ally does walk can he please take the team he has assembled with him, we need neither, we are undoubtedly rotten from top to bottom, and unless we appoint sir Alex or the likes (wishful thinking and tongue firmly in cheek) our next home game will be played in front of substitutes, ball boys, and seagulls. i'm sure this will be the straw that broke the camels back for the brave souls who decided to follow on and on. Personally I have no idea where we go from here, but when uve hit rock bottom it's either upwards or oblivion, totally heartbreaking. i'm sorry fellow Bears if this post didn't make much sense but a certain game drove me to DRINK.

12 Dec 2014 17:13:12
Surprise, surprise Mr Rangers wants paying off the contract he never read to go, I suppose selling out the first time was difficult even for someone like him, but he's had 31/2 years practice now, looks like he learned more from Charles Green than Walter Smith.

Spot on Smokey Bear. He wants paid off as per his contract. How does he know seeing as he never read it?

I thought there was a glimmer of dignity when I heard he had offered his resignation, but alas no.

12 Dec 2014 16:16:14
i suspect who ever is in charge at our club asked mccoist to resign after seeing the falling gates and they will now expect the fans to pile back if this does happen then we will be back to square one we still have a big problem and that is the board themselves

One thing at a time mate. At least this farce seems to be at an end, I read he will be in the dugout (or standing arms folded) tonight. Surely not?

{Ed039's Note - Apparantly the team bus left at 3pm without him on it)

12 Dec 2014 19:07:55
one thing at a time but nothing will change if fans start turning back up again we have a half chance hear so we should take it with both hands and force change at boardroom level once the fans go back the board will be happy so they will stay

12 Dec 2014 15:19:08
We all have our opinion on McCoist and I was one who wanted him to go but all the abuse and shocking msg is out of order. I hope he is remembered for holding the club together through the mess of the last few year. I agree he's not manager material but he gave it his best shot so from me thank you Ally McCoist. Hope others follow to thank a good Rangers man.

You also need to remember that Ally has made a great living from Rangers too. He has been more than well paid for doing a very poor job. He didn't help his cause by claiming not to know how much he was on.

How did he hold the club together?

By backing Craig Whyte, Charlie Green and all the others who have frankly turned our great club into a laughing stock?

Not to mention the tactically inept football displays of the past three and a bit years.

12 Dec 2014 15:50:38
Well said sir the man tried his best in extremely difficult circumstances & in life that's all we can do but a word of caution to those who wanted him out, it will still be the same squad pretending to be players then we will see maybe just maybe that tactics wise that the failings of the players was not all down to ally. The best of luck in what ever you choose to do ally!
r. f

My opinion on McCoist is well documented. I will remember him as the guy who drove me and thousands of others not to renew our STs. As for holding the club together, £800K a year for 3 years can buy a lot of glue, and "his best shot" since day 1 has not been good enough. A good Rangers man!! don't make me laugh! a good Ally McCoist man? now you are talking.

12 Dec 2014 14:25:46
Is it just me but why announce this about Ally on the day of a game?

12 Dec 2014 15:03:07
I don't care if its on the day of a cup final .The important thing is that its done.

12 Dec 2014 13:57:02
I know that ally had his problems etc but looking around the place now there is no Rangers people left, only thing left is Ibrox

What good did McCoist supposedly being a Rangers man do us? he played the worst football ever seen and bled the club dry with his own and his ridiculous signings wages, if that's what a Rangers man is we are better off without them. The REAL Rangers men like John Greigg walked long ago even McCoists mentor Walter Smith walked.

At the end off the day if your told you have ex amount available for wages would you not spaarobend it? Its not all Allys fault ok his tactics baffled me sometimes but we got to look above him its the directors bleeding our club dry not Ally

12 Dec 2014 13:46:08
PLEASE BE TRUE, reports are that McCoist has resigned. YES!!!!!!! A very happy day for all associated with the mighty Rangers, good riddance to bad rubbish, now let's hope he gets what's coming through his dealings with the crooks.

Harsh words Smokey Bear. Many of us may be happy that he is standing down. but "good riddance to bad rubbish" is not necessary.

He should be thanked for his time as a player and his attempts to manage us through the most difficult time in our history.

12 Dec 2014 14:47:31
Odds on that they have agreed to sell McLeod.

Stuart is it true you and bill tel have got the job lol

Stuart64. I would agree on only football terms, he simply wasnt good enough. But knowing he wasn't good enough and staying for this long on that money is diabolical. I believe 100% that he was employed to blur the lines between the fans and the board to keep the ST/share money rolling in while they rolled it out the back door, because let's face it to say he was employed for his tactical or managerial knowledge is ridiculous.

12 Dec 2014 13:37:57
Mate has just had a text from ssn Updates saying McCoist has resigned!

12 Dec 2014 14:03:12
Never like to see anyone lose their job but i'm afraid this was a long time coming wonder if he will tell what he knows about goings on at Ibrox or does he know what's coming. Ps rf sorry for your loss.

Maybe he is implicated in Greens takeover, but who cares, he's gone yippee, a great result for Rangers, 3 years too late but a great result non the less.

12 Dec 2014 07:36:50
If the Spivs cash in on Lewis MacLeod in January, then it could be the final straw for many fans.

Crowds are already under 20,000. if we accept a low bid in January, then there will be less than 10,000 at most of the remaining home games.

With MacLeod away. average age of team will be about 30!

No pace, no creativity. long ball is Plan A, B & C!

12 Dec 2014 08:15:36
This young boys career will be ruined by all this.

Believe me, if we drop points tonight, the home gate will drop before any deal for lewis mcleod is ever done!!

Stuart64, MacLeod, at best, will only tread water under the current regime. [ both financial and, more importantly, the football side of the business. ]
It would be in the lad's best interest to move on.
McCoist's latest comments on the youth set-up is a joke. He justifies everything by ''we would not have won the leagues with a team full of youths. ''
No fan expected that, all that we wanted were the boys to be given a chance to see if they 'had it'. Their opportunities were few and far between, and as such, they must look to their own future in the game, elsewhere. If McCoist stays much longer, any youth with any ability will move on, for their own good.
Just one question for him---- When the league was won, last season, why did he not blood some players then? My thoughts, there was money in it for him to go through the league unbeaten and something for his cv.
All the money and organisation in the world will not make us a team until he is gone.

Ttally agree billyb!, we won those divisions by the proverbial country mile. The deluded one could quite easily have played youngsters with a couple of seasoned pros and still won both divs. The real problem is purely & simply his lack of coaching ability, his ego & greed!

12 Dec 2014 13:30:06
I think u are clutching at straws regards McLeod. He's nowhere near the valuation being spoke about. U trying to tell me we would get 2 million for mcgregor whose played at higher level. I don't think so. Plus other clubs know u's are desperate. Do u honestly think he won't go for next to nothing. Big mike will get the cash. Filling his pockets.
