Time will tell, however I've never backed any of Souness' predictions.

My early impressions are that he'll struggle too but I'll reserve any criticism until after he's had a transfer window and time to allow his team to gel. The situation at the weekend was avoidable, if players are ill or injured then they shouldn't be near the squad, simple as that. Hearing that the team had no structured formation is concerning too, this isn't league 2 where that sort of thing could wash, I think he was fortunate that we drew the game because I think he'd have got a lot of stick for doing what he did if we'd lost against Motherwell.

listen souness is just raging because he wanted the job lol.

naw but in all seriousness no one will be able to tell untill this point next year if he has done what's needed as we can't judge him playing about with a sqaud that's not his and let's face it this is our worst ever season in the spl.

I would be amazed if Pedro makes it. In my opinion he won't get sufficient funds to start a revolution so it has to be evolution and that takes time. He had 2 youngsters in for the Killie game. Now if they have a stinker everyone is going to be on Pedros case. Next issue is if Rangers get stuffed against Aberdeen on Sunday then Celtic at Hampden then there is more pressure. He does not know Scottish football or the pressure that is coming his way unless he wins every week. Souness is correct and fans expect too much.

Imo Caixinha's personality is spot on for the Rangers job, I get the feeling that the players will take to him as a leader and u can just tell that the players won't need find out what kind of reaction he would give to a player that either showed disrespect or a lack of commitment, you get the feeling that he would raise hell and put a player in his place be it in private or there and then on the training ground or dressing room AND I would hope he's the type of guy that if a player did act like that he would also be able to reconcile if the player put it right.

THIS is something that over time Warbs was found out not being able to possess which leads to players losing respect for a man! If a player does something or said something to the Manager especially in front of others Warbs it seemed avoided confrontation and would rather go about it in a way which done him NO favours. Prob got Weir to ask player not to turn up, maybe sending a wee letter about a fine or suspension! Then after X amount of time a wee meeting with others there!

This I think was the personality of Warbs which in no way is acceptable at Ibrox let alone Glasgow! It took a while for it to become apparent but its what I think! That's why I'm so happy to see a Manager that seems to have a strong personality and comes across NOT to be messed with and at the same time can develop healthy relationships with player AND give youth a chance!

So I think that side to our Manager is covered its now the way he goes about on field tactics and his eye for a player. I know most of us would like Miller to stay too BUT Caixinha may have different ideas this decision too is an important one as he must know fans feelings about this and he could play safe and keep Miller but he may gamble on another player from abroad and we all know what can happen if a new player ain't doing it at the expense of one who's tried and tested, a big decision on many levels!

I think he needs to be exceptionally lucky to succeed at Rangers. I thought he got it spot on against Hamilton with the players clearly up for it and playing well however the Motherwell game was a shambles and picking injured and ill players was madness. He was lucky to get away with a draw and even when Motherwell beat us 3-1 in the playoff at Ibrox they didn't create as many chances as they did on Saturday.

Rightly or wrongly the manager is under pressure now and like a previous poster said the pressure will be greater if results do go well in the Aberdeen and 2 Celtic ones. The pressure will increase if we qualify for Europe as an early exit would raise more questions. I agree he should only be judged after the January transfer window however the reality is that he doesn't have as much time as that and the first couple of months of next season will determine how good or bad he is doing
