Green: Walter Smith says not to panic over 'unpleasant' Rangers displays

[simplythebest 0]

Rangers chief executive Charles Green says former manager Walter Smith has told him not to panic over â??unpleasantâ?? performances, saying his team would get booed off when they were winning championships.

 

The Ibrox club are 23 points ahead at the top of the Division Three under Ally McCoist.

 

However some fans have been unhappy with the nature of the teamâ??s performances this season, most notably after the clubâ??s Scottish Cup exit to Dundee United.

 

Smith, who managed the club between 1991 and 1998 and again from 2007-2011, has told Green to stick with his former assistant.

 

Green told STV: â??Iâ??ve sat with him [McCoist] on a number of occasions and we know what weâ??re trying to do with the club and it is important that the fans see and understand the difficulties weâ??ve had to put up with.

 

â??Walter Smith said to me the other week he said â??look Charles when you look out there it is not pleasant but you have to remember when we were winning nine in a row, we were getting booed off thenâ??.

 

â??It is a difficult time. Ally hasnâ??t got the players around him that he would have liked. We all have to work through this and see when league reconstruction comes round and then we can bring new players in and build a team that the Rangers fans expect to see on the field of play.

 

â??But all we can do is win the titles in the league that we are placed in.â?

Ally spent most of his career with WS, it's no surprise they look out for each other and have similar footballing philosophies.

 

It's going to be more of the same for the forseeable future.

Even with these players some of the football was pretty poor.

6IAR was a dreadful season. Hateley was the only shining light.

I have to agree. Just because it happened before makes the evident lack of development in our playing style somehow ok? Deary me....
