Derek McInnes may or may not become the next manager of Rangers but he's clearly one of the favourites to do so. With that in mind, is it entirely in the best interests of Rangers to be promoting quite so much negativity at this stage, before he or anyone else has even started the job? Or is doom-mongering the new Rangers tradition?

Very few accountants are businessmen. Except perhaps in the same way mechanics are racing drivers.

A very positive read ... until I saw the name John Brown.

What we (the sporting public) need is a national stadium of +/- 75,000 seats. Not for football or rugby but for all sports and also for non-sporting events. Hampden is a tawdry affair, badly placed for the nation as a whole and inadequate in size and facilities. Murrayfield comes much closer to the physical stadium we need but remains the "property" of rugby union. The best use of money would be to upgrade Murrayfield and to fund that as a nation rather than as individual sports. Failing that, scrap Hampden and build a new national stadium near the motorways south of Stirling. The worst use of money would be to waste inadequate funds trying to maintain Hampden as a football-only stadium.

Mojo was no Neil Lennon

Whit? That's unbelievable.

Talking of which, does anyone know of Tony Docherty?

What McInnes achieved at St Johnstone and latterly at Aberdeen in a one-horse league is at least equivalent to Preud'homme's record. In any case, the question is not who has won most in an entirely different context ... but who is best equipped to succeed at Rangers today. In my humble opinion, of the names I've heard mentioned, that is probably Derek McInnes. I hope I'm right because he is almost certainly our next manager and we'd better start getting behind this one.

There are any number of prospective managers who know the square root of fuck all about Scottish football and, like it or not, this is the midden we play in. We can't afford another game of speculation. The next manager needs to know what's in store for him BEFORE he takes the job. If he doesn't, it won't matter how good his pedigree.

Utterly pathetic

I hope Delahunt and the rest are questioning whether an OF manager can survive a home draw against bottom club Killie. Brenda must go!

Wash your mouth out

Like I clearly said above, Miller should never have been out of the team and I was hugely relieved to see him back in the side.

Always Rangers is, never Rangers are

One thing the late Pedro Caixinha did get right was to put a team on the park without Kenny Miller. Whatever the ins and outs of his leaking antics, the future cannot include someone of Miller's age. That his form has been atrocious this season simply made the decision that much easier. While I wish him well, the club comes first and I'll be hugely disappointed if Miller returns today.

Fuxxake .... If the club was The Ranger, instead of The Rangers, the possessive apostrophe would be used thus - The Ranger's car park. If The Rangers is used as a collective or plural noun, it would be - The Rangers' car park or The Rangers' football club (note the lack of capitals in football club). If The Rangers is used as a singular noun, it would be The Rangers' football club - specifically because the singular noun ends in an 's', otherwise it would be The Rangers's, which is grammatically unacceptable. However, if The Rangers Football Club is (collectively) a singular noun, then it would be - The Rangers Football Club's car park. From this you can see it is NEVER The Ranger's in any context. End of.

I think the loss of composure we see around us can only be described as a form of panic. Supporters have been through so much these last few years that not everyone is able to maintain their equilibrium when the next storm rolls in. :D

Be fair, the apostrophe has beaten some good people in its time :-)

Foreign managers have been such a success in the past.

Is it a good idea to compromise our choice of manager because we’re concerned about Aberdeen’s finances? Anyway, it’s clear the decision is already made - if McInnes wants it, the job is his. Compensation won’t stand in the way

I'm sure he's got no chance but you'd think by now he'd have figured that out for himself.

Just read on twitter that Billy Davies "is interested in talking about the Rangers job". God help us, will we never move on?

Yes, whatever it takes to move this club out of the mire

Of course it's going to be Derek McInnes. The only thing that will change that outcome is if the board spins him some transparent bullshit and he declines the offer. Where else can Rangers go right now? Certainly not some of the more exotic ideas being wafted by some. It won't be De Boer, Laudrup or Sam Allardyce. It won't (thank God) be Alex Neil or David Moyes. It won't be Alex McLeish and it won't be Walter Smith rolling around the technical area in his mobility wheelchair. As for talk of halfwits like Barry Ferguson! Sometimes the best plan is simply to go for the obvious choice and we now know we should have done that last time. While nothing comes with guarantees in the world of football, I think Derek McInnes has more of the required credentials than the other options being fielded and has every chance of being the man who turns this around. Personally, I see it as a huge mistake if he isn't carried shoulder high into the managers office post haste.

Can’t believe any Rangers supporter would want Moyes anywhere near Ibrox
