Just read Warburton's entry in Wikipedia, and he doesn't have a long record in management nor an illustrious playing career. One interesting fact is that he played under Jock Wallace for a short time at Leicester and did not like his training methods. Running up sand dunes until you are sick did not appeal and he stated he would never treat his players like that. That's a plus in my book as I never thought much of Ranger's playing style under Wallace.

I agree, you don't have to be that good to be a successful manager in Scotland, and given the resources Rangers have relatively, they should have cake walked the three bottom leagues.

I think that McCall has lost the plot. Playing McCulloch up front and "lobbing" balls into the box won't work. We need to get down the wings and cut the ball back to create chances.

Ach well I'm still daft enough to believe the Gers can win this tie.

I admire your optimism.

If we fail to win promotion which looks likely, then we will not be attracting any "big name" players or managers. Hopefully our new board can find some manager/coach who can work on a budget, improve the young players we have and find some better players to bring in.

Very true. Ian Durrant maybe gives them a good laugh and a joke but as far as playing football he should be the last of the three amigos to go.

Our first team defending has been coached down to the youth team.

I like the suggestion of John Hughes. He likes his teams to play football. He tries to improve what players he has got by coaching and encouragement. The man exudes enthusiasm. Whether the Rangers support as a whole would accept him???? I think he could be the ideal manager given our financial situation - no money.

It surely should be too late in the day to change the rules.

It's not that difficult to become a successful manager in Scotland. The standard is so poor. String a few results together and you will soon have BBC Sportscene heralding you as a genius. Lose your job after some bad results and the Beeb will take you on as a pundit. Given the resources that Celtic have and Rangers (used to have) then to be successful in Scotland should not be a problem.

Jings, Moshni is Rangers answer to Franz Beckenbauer. I sense a new thread here - comparing our duds to world greats. How about Jig as the new Bobby Moore?

From Tuesday the club says there will be access to "a matched bargain-trading facility" with JP Jenkins. To use this facility you will have to go through a stockbroker which probably won't be worth it, if it is a relatively low amount of shares you are after. Better to wait and see if the shares get listed on ISDX or similar.

Someone on here suggested Sbragia as the next Rangers manager

Maybe one of the few players that are making an effort in training?

Agreed so don't let him back.

Eh? Hibs have beaten Rangers twice in the league this season under McCoist, and once under McDowall. We managed to beat them in the League Cup at the beginning of the season but were far from impressive.

Past form has Ally's team being outplayed by Hibs twice.

McDowall also said he wants Durrant back as first team coach even though Durie is doing a "wonderful" job. The dream team + Durie - aargh!!!

This would be a terrible attitude for the new board. Football is all about achieving as much as you can, not resigning yourself to being second rate. We are only trying to gain promotion to the SPFL not La Liga. It is well within reach of this Rangers team if someone can motivate them or even the players themselves can wake up.

As a former member of the "Bubbly Babies" I remember belting out that song at BB Sunday Bible Class. It was good at the time but belongs in the past.

Sorry to offend but after banker's scandals, MP's expenses, Mike Ashley maximising his profits, and Rangers directors helping themselves to Rangers money, let alone Dave King fiddling his taxes, I have little faith in our (Western World) financial system.

In the financial world there is no honour among thieves.

Kenny McDowall believes there will be no quick fix at Rangers - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31732854. Unbelievable, he has been and still is part of the problem.
