A back line of Foster, Jig, Mohsni & Wallace is the worst Rangers back line we've had in a long time, but we are where we are as a club and there's no quick fix. We'll still have a better back line than most of the other clubs in our league next season, but it is our weak link as you say.

 

What riles me personally though, is that if we hadn't wasted millions and millions of pounds paying ridiculously high wages to mediocre players over the past 2 seasons in the lower leagues, we might actually be in a position to buy a couple of really classy players who could significantly strengthen our team and possibly make us serious money in sell on fees in 2 or 3 seasons.

 

I know the problems go back further, but the lack of foresight and forward planning at the Club since Green & co took over from the administrators is totally staggering.

 

Green's foresight got him a chateau in France. That's all he cared about.

Let's put a bit of perspective on that, shall we? Unbeaten in the league for the first time in 120odd years. McCulloch with 34 games, 17 goals, and 3 assists. Wallace with 28 games, 3 goals, and 12 assists. Mohsni with 28 games, 10 goals, and 3 assists. Finally, Foster with 23 games, no goals and 3 assists.

 

They might be half a universe away from the qualities of a Gough or Brown, Weir or Stevens, but "worst" is not exactly something that would spring to mind after a season like this - no matter the opposition.

I don't usually disagree with you dB but I think you have to take account of the opposition last season. There are lies, damned lies and statistics. The only one of our back four who compares favourably with those of even the recent past is Wallace. Whilst Foster did get game time for us in 2010-11 that was mainly due to injuries to others; McCulloch & Mohsni don't compare with Goian & Bocanegra never mind those stalwarts you mention.

that back 4 is woeful.

 

Horrific displays against Raith Rovers Albion Rovers and dundee Utd just air brushed as is they didn't happen.

Stats are decent but he fails to mention who were up against! :)

 

the stats are actually garbage - moshni and mcculloch's goals aside.

 

1 goal created every 2 games by wallace , at this level? rank.

1 goal every 2 games from 1 player out of 11, that is pretty damn good. We scored loads last season so other players must have been setting them up.
