Do you really think Murty had any part in that decision? I doubt it to be honest that is the DoF and the money men making that decision. They may have talked to Murty about it but that is the only part he would play.

I centred the title in my words document that brought it centred on here. I wrote the team straight in here. If I open start a new post even now then there is no left centre right options. Strange that you can centre even in edit I don't get the centre options. -

Frankie when I write a new topic the centre option to centre the team is not open to me. Can you have a look at that or am I missing something? -

Rangers v hearts match preview. So, that was probably the most turbulent week for Rangers since 2012 with rumours of physical fighting in the dressing room, players suspended for undermining the manager and a manager who has probably become more unpopular than Maggie Thatcher was to the Scottish people. Most fans expected his own resignation on Monday but when that failed to happen everyone was sure the board would step in and remove Graeme Murty. If for nothing else then for Murty's own best interests. Yesterday the board decided to play Russian Roulette with Murty;s career and possibly Rangers Chances of playing in Europe when they confirmed that Murty would remain in office until the end of the season. Whether that is a brave or stupid decision will pan out in the next five games of football for Rangers. Murty looks to have lost the dressing room and has certainly lost the support of a huge majority of the fans. Unless Murty really gets this team winning and heading into Europe, the dugout is going to be a very lonely place for him in these coming five games. One scenario that could pan out is that we are praying that Celtic win the Scottish cup and therefore the treble so the fourth placed team in the league can qualify for Europe. On Saturday we begin the play-offs when Hearts come to Ibrox. The million to one question is can Murty pick this Rangers team up from the total capitulation against Celtic. Can he get the supporters feeling good again, instead of feeling like we are watching a footballing equivalent of the Killing fields. Can he get this team to become a fighting unit that can go on and claim the second place in the league. Lets face it, on our budget that should be the lowest place thinkable. Hopefully he has been working hard all week to get the players on his side. He has seen to the suspension from work of Kenny Miller and Lee Wallace for undermining his authority so they will be missing from the line-up. Wallace hasn't played for much of the season so his physical presence will not be a miss but his popularity as club captain could affect the performance of other players. Kenny miller is a player who is a valuable option but has also missed much of the season and is not really a fans favourite at the best of times. Again his popularity with other players could play the biggest role on which Rangers team turns up My vision is that Rangers have to get off to a real fast start to get the fans onside. If the first half is lacklustre as it has been at Ibrox regularly this season then the crowd will start to turn on Murty and the team. Craig leveign is a wiley old fox and he will know that. He will set his team up to frustrate Rangers and try and get that first goal that he knows will turn the Rangers crowd. The supporters can of course play their share and get behind the team. The Union Bears have said they will not be singing at this game as a protest to the board but personally I think that is more letting the team down more than hurting the board but that is their decision. It is of course probably the softest message to the board possible that the support is not happy but I think they already know that. So who will Murty trust to put on the park to get him the result he so badly needs. I think his Andy Halliday adventure will be over and he will go back to his old and obviously trusted for him 4-2-3-1 system and his team will be. Foderingham Tavernier Martin McCrorie John Docherty Dorrans Candeias Windass Murphy Morelos I personally would like us to go with the 4-4-2 for once and see what Morelos and Cummings can produce together. I would hate to see Cummings heading back down south without even having a real bite at the cherry. Lets face it Rangers should be in a position where we can use the last few games as a trial for next season but unfortunately that is not the case and we are instead in a dog-fight for that European place I really hope for Murty that he can lead this team to the second spot as he is a really nice guy and I would hate to see his career in tatters due to the pure indecision of an obviously weak rangers board. More important I hope the team stand up and go on to the park and show that heart, that will to win that every football player should have and fight their way to a series of good results, starting against Hearts. The players need it. Murty needs it. What is more Rangers Football Club needs it. One of my favourite TV programmes as a boy was the Flashing Blade. It had the theme tune with the text ”It is better to have fought and lost than not to have fought at all” Last Sunday they didn't figh they turned on their backs and let Celtic tickle their bellies. A repeat performance at Ibrox on Sunday is unthinkable. Whoever Murty puts on the park needs to show they are up for a fight. They need show they will run through walls for this club otherwise they will hopefully disappear into the horizon for next season. C'mon the Gers! -

That was said by people supposedly in the know and not news paper reporters or tims.

Craig it was reported to have gone so far that someone could have\nearly, ended up in the hospital. That is never going to clear the air. If a manager is strong the cooling off time on the bus could have been enough. He may have had to send a few by taxi but letting them get on with it was not an option.

Thanks for the fantastic reaction guy's -
I hate when people say footballers only have a short career so they have to have made their money. Why should a footballer not have to find another job like other people do. When computers came in did anyone say the administrative workers who kept cupboards loads of files have to make a fortune because their work was finishing. Players can become coaches, media, Gym instructors, They don't have to be able to retire at 32.

I am not so sure it is a bad thing to have a radical group as long as they are honest with everyone on there aims. It is worse if we all baa like sheep following one leader.

Murty should have sussed the fighting in the dressing room and then taken the players back to Auchenhowie and had a discussion there. That would have let the situation cool and he still could have stamped his authority. While we keep suggesting Jock Wallace and his management style it is now a dinosaur. Man management is completely different now as it was back then. Our modern players wouldn't even hear Jock as they have their headphones on with Itunes playing. Seriously though I doubt Jocks methods would work in this day and age. Murty should have been in the dressing room though instead of giving interviews. I know he has a duty to give an interview but his first duty is to Rangers FC and if there are problems he needs to sort out then the interviews can wait or he can let someone else do them. I have seen nothing on what Jimmy Nicholl or JJ were doing in this time.

Why don't we publish one? It won't be official but it would be a Rangers song book. The next Gersnet Project?

So as I said the Scottish cup next season.
