macoist committed many mistakes whilst being manager but the biggest was when the league was won last year he never gave any of the young players ago all in the putrsuit of glory going through the season unbeaten

Ally was a shocking manager and had done as much harm to the club as Whyte, Green and the previous board. This man is no club legend. Another money grabbing imposter

Agree4 Disagree5

20 Apr 2015 02:04:19
Totally agree the guy laughed at us singing super ally while he's picking up his salary and destroying our full team. No club legend shouldn't be aloud back in ibrox

BIGW, You are spot with that one mate. It just confirms that Auchenhowie can produce what we need for the domestic game and topped up with a touch of experience and class, who knows what we could achieve.

Agree3 Disagree2

20 Apr 2015 23:28:26
Totally disagree with these comments. I'm not pro mccoist or anything but if it wasn't for him there wouldn't be a Rangers. Look how demanding we are as a fan base, look at how physical the lower leagues are. His train of thought is understandable. Get in experience and spl quality to satisfy our wishes that we remain an spl team and have a go at the cups. Fresh faced inexperienced players may not have got us through the leagues. Either way look at it from his perspective.

The fickleness really astounds me after everything he was put through during his entire tenure I believe he deserved that pay packet. He was essentially every role at a football club and board rolled into one.

Black was a Scottish cup winner, sandaza was spl quality, cribari had serie a experience, faure through the ranks at Lyon they they all had experience at a higher level.

Ally mccoist is and will always remain a Rangers legend and rightly so.

The man is only human give him a break

Agree1 Disagree4

Letc., On that basis there would be no Rangers if Charlie boy hadn't came along and 'saved' us. I think, however, his efforts were for self gain and not for the benefit of our club. Low and behold, I beleive our ex manager was inflicted with the same problem.
Your reference to various player's histories just shows how pathetic he was, as Stuart McCall is showing what a little bit of knowledge in managing players is all about.
You have to get it clear, the criticism he gets was for his management/coaching abilities.
In my honest opinion he was in charge to divert our attention from the robbery that was going on.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Apr 2015 20:53:49
I don't know about what everyone else thinks but from a personal note I now think its imperative that the rangers board appoint stuart mccall as the new permanent rangers manager so that he can plan for next season NOW and decide which out of contract rangers players are to get a new contract if any,with the board continuing with this uncertainty we're in limbo and sure as dam looks like they might not fancy mccall as our longterm manager and have another manager as their no.1 choice who they'll bring in once the season ends

Believable3 Unbelievable11

20 Apr 2015 00:05:34
hopefully none of the 12 out of contract will stay as for McCall it's clear that nothing will be decided with him until we know what league we are playing in. No point in planning now when u don't know what league u will be playing in next season. Far from ideal but the way things are with the club just now

Agree2 Disagree2

20 Apr 2015 08:51:21
Stewie,irrespective to what league we're playing in next season I've seen enough with what mccall has already done in his short time as our manager to give him the job permanently mate,ie.he's tactically aware,he is playing a lot of our younger players,we look much fitter,the team always play to a game plan & we also have to remember this ain't mccall's team which just goes to show he's a good coach who's getting the best out of another managers team,he's shown enough as far as I'm concerned to give him the job permanently now and let him plan & built for the future!

Agree1 Disagree7

20 Apr 2015 09:17:22
Stewie, we should have 2 plans and 2 budgets in place by now. 1 for the Premiership and 1 for the Championship however we can't have that until the Managers position is sorted so he can plan moving forward. We should not be waiting until the summer to put the planning in place, no other club works this way.

Agree1 Disagree1

20 Apr 2015 12:11:40
i think macoll has done well with the material he has even if u just take the performance of walsh murdoch hardie and even zalouskas the young lads will now have a transfer value not that they should be sold and with game time zalukas has had has brought him on a mile and moshni should remain on the bench with black and boyd its taken somtime to get a manager that will give kids achance and be tactically aware he should be given the nod now

Agree2 Disagree1

20 Apr 2015 17:37:22
j r he was out thought tactically by QOTS for crying out loud who flooded their midfield and hit us on the break he was unable or unwilling to change things till it was too late , a good manager would be getting more out of the team EVERY game not just the big games where they have shown they have it in them .We need something new and a strong manager In my opinion.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Apr 2015 19:22:11
Jyf name this so called strong manager that you want as the next permanent rangers manager

Agree0 Disagree2

20 Apr 2015 20:43:01
Probably wants mccoist back!

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Apr 2015 20:57:25
He could name many but who would do that I wonder?

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Apr 2015 22:47:36
I would love to see stuart mccall given the chance to be the next permanent rangers manager but if pushed I think the board will plump for ian cathro as the next permanent rangers manager/head coach,why some might say well here's why,its someone out of the box with no rangers connections and regarded a genius of a coach by the current valencia manager nuno who he's assistant to,I've also heard cathro called the scottish mourinho,cathro at only 28 years old would be here for years to come and build his own team with youth and completely fresh ideas from what we're currently used to ie.something completely modern,new and fresh

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Apr 2015 07:09:47
Sorry, Wullie
'no other clubs works like that'
Now just think about that for a wee while.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Apr 2015 20:33:49
Stuart mccall was saying in one of today's sunday newspapers that john collins had told him that our young 18 year old winger tom walsh was the best two footed player he'd ever seen at that age, collins had seen & coached one of scottish youth teams and that's when he noticed young walsh, quite a compliment don't you think guys?

Believable3 Unbelievable7

19 Apr 2015 23:06:58
I would imagine Gordon Durie has had something to do with these players coming through as well having trained them last season!

Agree5 Disagree0

20 Apr 2015 08:14:13
JR that's an excellent point. John Collins is an absolute gent in life, you would be hard to find anybody that has a bad word about the guy. His compliment was to young Walsh and his development team.

Agree1 Disagree1

20 Apr 2015 08:42:46
That's a good shout bongo,durie does deserve some credit on that score mate

Agree2 Disagree3

20 Apr 2015 12:13:01
aye but at least macoll listens not like macoist

Agree2 Disagree0

19 Apr 2015 20:23:10
does anyone know if we go up this season and then finish high enough in the league or win the cup will we be allowed to play in europe the following season?

Believable2 Unbelievable0

19 Apr 2015 22:09:48
no reason why not

Agree0 Disagree2

19 Apr 2015 22:15:54
A club needs 3 years financial records to play in europe so I don't see why not but who knows there could be more to it

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed039's Note - That will depend on whether an auditor touches our accounts this year as our auditor resigned last year)

19 Apr 2015 19:14:56
Danny Wilson would be a good signing for us imo, don't blame the lad for going we got 2 mill which he ain't worth. If he goes to Celtic bad move for all don't think he would improve there team at all not as good as Ambrose or even mulgrew at centre half lol

Believable2 Unbelievable1

19 Apr 2015 20:33:19
sure he is a celtic fan and doubt we'd offer as good a wage as them either

Agree0 Disagree1

19 Apr 2015 22:17:31
Reading on an old article that he said it would be stupid to go on loan to celfic when he was at liverpool and he would have maybe joined another team on loan except celtic. Who knows but doubt he is a celtic fan if he wouldn't even go there when there was first team opportunities there.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Apr 2015 07:50:24
Well he's simply not good enough for Celtic, not saying he's not a good player just think there will be better players for them to sign if they want to compete in Europe next year.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Apr 2015 12:39:07
Danny Wilson to me isn't that good of a player. He can't replace Van Dijk. let's be honest Van Dijk was crap against inverness yesterday. must admit. it was brilliant to watch them beat celtic. However Wilson will never be good enough for the big teams. he's an average player in a below average league.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Apr 2015 15:07:10
If I could have a centre half in Scotland it would be meekings could cover bell in goals aswel!lol

Mark beevers would be a better signing than wilson! Our of contract at millwall unless he has signed a new deal recently

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Apr 2015 12:04:34
Ed : who do you think will get another contract?

Believable3 Unbelievable0

{Ed039's Note - Darren McGregor)

19 Apr 2015 19:13:08
Is cammy bell out of contract?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed039's Note - No)

19 Apr 2015 21:13:26
Mcgregors already signed up for next season due to a fitness clause in contract

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed039's Note - McGregor is not under contract for next season as far as I am aware, I am sure I read recently that if the playoffs had to be moved had Hibs got to the Scottish Cup final then there was no guarantee he could play as his contract expires on 31st May)

20 Apr 2015 12:40:26
I've personally heard that he has been given a new contract due to the clause in his contract? one was about playing time the other about performance, and he has ticked both boxes? although I could be wrong.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Apr 2015 15:07:41
Will Miller take up the clause in his? Hope not lol

19 Apr 2015 18:21:00

The Special One is not as good as they all thought. To go on about a penalty claim costing them the game when they still had 75 min to win the game is pathetic.

Agree3 Disagree3

{Ed039's Note - I dont agree with that to be honest, its a different game if the penalty is given)

19 Apr 2015 21:35:33
But it wasn't and there was still 75 min left.

Agree2 Disagree1

{Ed039's Note - Would you not have a moan if it happened to Rangers? I dont like the guy and am not defending him, just trying to put it into a football perspective)

19 Apr 2015 23:13:17
Where do you get 75 minutes from?

Agree1 Disagree1

19 Apr 2015 22:22:13
With all the so called super stars that Celtic are supposed to have they should have won easily against Inverness even with 10 men .

Agree0 Disagree3

19 Apr 2015 22:47:57
Well it has happened to Rangers. 1989,our throw in nabbed by Aitken and they score. and the 1998 cup final against Hearts where they got a penalty for feck all.

Agree0 Disagree3

20 Apr 2015 07:27:42
They scored because Gary Stevens couldn't make a simple pass back.

Agree3 Disagree0

20 Apr 2015 07:53:01
6 and half a dozen lol. Inverness should have had a penalty after zaluska assaulted odfere? Just came out and flattened him lol.

The ref made bad decisions but Celtic beniffited to, wee forrest dived and didn't get booked, browns constant fouling etc.

It's easy to blame the ref they should know they do it often enough.
But to say there's an agenda against them is going against the sporting integriry they bleat about and is bringing the game into disrepute.

Agree0 Disagree3

20 Apr 2015 07:55:32
The second half plus extra time makes 75 min

Agree1 Disagree0

20 Apr 2015 13:54:59
Yes jfr. But if the penalty had been awarded and ICT reduced to 10 it is very unlikely that it would have gone to extra time

Agree2 Disagree0

20 Apr 2015 18:54:18
Just listening to Clyde phone in. Fans agree Celtic were 1 up at time of penalty claim but threw it away. A 10 man Celtic should have still been able to beat Inverness but on the day they didn't play well.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Apr 2015 20:16:52
Yes I agree that they may have gone 2 up but they stayed at 1 nil and they should have built on that in the second half. They didn't , got their keeper sent off , took off Forest and
lost the game because of these points and now claim the penalty decision cost them victory. Dundee United could say the same about Scot Brown push on their player in the box .

Agree0 Disagree1

19 Apr 2015 15:59:46
Referees are biased against our friends from across the city in case nobody has heard. every Celtic fan in Scotland will be outside Steven macleans door demanding he show his sash and flute tommorow lmao.

Well done Inverness from such a small club to one of the best in Scotland! They deserve it.

Believable3 Unbelievable2

19 Apr 2015 20:22:06
In fairness that was a disgraceful refereeing decision.

Agree2 Disagree3

20 Apr 2015 07:54:21
I agree, and there was a lot more bad decisions in the game. But well done Inverness, you shouldn't rely on a penalty to win a game that you are 1 nil up tho.

Big John Hughes has done great after losing such an important player in McKay.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Apr 2015 09:07:21
I agree it was a terrible decision but Inverness should have had a penalty in extra time when keeper wiped out Inverness striker but the officials seemed to have missed that so did Ronnie by the sounds of it.

Agree0 Disagree1

19 Apr 2015 15:29:56
Sitting in sunny perth Australia delighted with the result with Celtic, Inverness were brilliant matched them all over park and the boy shinnie unbelievable a bit like the old Gary Stevens up and down park all day quick feet and set up last goal worth a shout for next season for us supercaleygoballasticcelticareattrousous follow follow from the bluerangerdownunder, ps thought Lemmon was a *censored* but the guy Ronnie runs him close

if the story about danny wilsons contract being up we should have someone camping on his doorstep he would do well with zaloukas and macggregor zaloukas is getting better every game and the one thing about macoll there is a bit of consistecy about his selections with macoist some positions changed constantly and if only he had given some of the youths a chance we would be in a far better position today I also think macoll should be given the job just now so ass plans can be put into place for next season although I still have a sneaky feeling he is just keeping the seat warm for someone else

Believable5 Unbelievable3

19 Apr 2015 14:25:32
Bigwull,I agree with your post totally mate and I also would like stuart mccall to be appointed now as our permanent manager to allow him to plan & rebuild for next season although I do agree I think the board have another manager in mind and I heard last night davie weir is the head coach they want but warburton is going to be manager at another english club and won't be following weir to rangers

Agree1 Disagree6

19 Apr 2015 16:44:29
Am a huge fan of Davie Weir but why would the board prefer him to Stuart McCall, a man with far more managerial experience which includes working on a a very limited budget. and I would guess we will be on a very limited budget next season.

Agree2 Disagree0

19 Apr 2015 16:47:51
I think danny wilson has another year to run on his contract at hearts,bigwull I personally don't want danny wilson back mate,our young centre half who's currently out on loan at airdrie luca gasparotto is the centre half I fully expect to be one of our centre halfs next season,he's very similar in style to danny wilson
and is a left footed centre half into the bargain,gasparotto has just won the player of the year at airdrie where he's been outstanding for them

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Apr 2015 16:51:06
big wull wilson could not wait to get away from us so he could let everyone know he was a septic supporter let him rot where he is

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Apr 2015 18:25:04
think u put that the wrong way round rangers were quick to get him away to get the money it was not danny wilson that wanted away

Agree0 Disagree1

19 Apr 2015 18:38:37
I think he wanted away, could not blame him really. A chance to play in the EPL. Ok, he wasn't up to it, but he gave it a try. I could not care less what team he supported. It looks very much like it is move to Celtic that is on his mind though.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Apr 2015 15:09:54
We wanted Him away to though we needed the money

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Apr 2015 12:12:54
Danny Wilson leaving Hearts on a free. We should do everything we can to sign him, a lot of the stories that went around when he left were absolute rubbish. The lad only asked to get paid the same as John Fleck and Wylde, both of whom he played more than, and instead was offered a wage smaller than some First Division players.

Believable4 Unbelievable1

19 Apr 2015 11:46:51
It just shows you doesn't it? Hardie, Walsh and Murdoch all in the team today and Hardie grabbing two goals. If only McCoist had blooded some of your youngsters from the start we'd be in great shape. Good for McCall to give them a chance. Gallagher came on as a sub as well so it is promising.

Believable5 Unbelievable0

19 Apr 2015 13:06:09
That isn't true at all, mccoist played aird, macleod, gallagher, crawford and murdoch and bar macleod and maybe aird they weren't quiet up to it. if hardie scored 20+ goals in the development squad then he is obviously developing where he is.

Agree2 Disagree0

19 Apr 2015 14:31:17
He also played hutton, kal naismith, Ross perry

Agree2 Disagree0

19 Apr 2015 15:04:47
Murdoch walsh sinnamon hardie etc were like 15/16 when we went down. A lot of youth players left aswell, and the ones that stayed except for Lewis McLeod were average you can't blame mccoists. If ness, mccabe, bendikson, mcmillan etc had all stayed I have no doubt they would have played.

Agree3 Disagree0

19 Apr 2015 20:16:01
well said good to see mccoist given a bit of slack on the youth situation, who was the last youth player to leave for about 1 million out of rangers? Not much has came out of murray park but recently there is a few to keep an eye on. Mccoist chose to play macleod in a strange position and it worked and he has became a confident and talented player

Agree1 Disagree0

20 Apr 2015 10:58:00
I was talking about playing youngsters on a regular basis, not just the odd game. McCall has, in a short time, given Murdoch a run in the team and Walsh to a lesser extent. McCoist should have given the like of Hutton, Gallagher and Crawford a lengthy run in the first team but he didn't. All he was interested in was the glory of winning the league.

Agree1 Disagree0

18 Apr 2015 22:20:26
I bet the spfl are glad to see hibs drop out of the cup today; would of been interesting to see how they would of justified moving a planned playoff game to suit hibs, spirting integrity and all that jazz would of surely stopped any game movement anyway?
