Barebear 37 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/42522424 Jimmy Nicholl will be the new assistant manager of Rangers. The former Ibrox player, currently number two with Falkirk, will leave his job at the Championship club after Tuesday's game against Dunfermline. Northern Irishman Nicholl, 61, had an earlier period coaching at Rangers, taking the reserve team under Graeme Souness in the 1980s. Now he will assist Graeme Murty, who has been assured he will be in charge of Rangers until the end of the season. Nicholl, who also had a spell as a player at Manchester United and managed Raith Rovers to a Scottish League Cup win in 1994, will also continue to work with Northern Ireland, having assisted their manager Michael O'Neill since 2015. Falkirk, second bottom of the league, host Queen of the South on Saturday before visiting the Pars on Tuesday. Rangers visit Celtic on Saturday at lunchtime and will then be on a winter break until the Scottish Cup fourth-round tie away to Fraserburgh on 21 January. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannochsidebear 2,316 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Nicholl is a far more experienced and accomplished coach and manager than Murty will ever be, the number 1 & 2 in this partnership is the wrong way round. Not that i'm saying JN should be our manager, but he has a far greater chance of success than GM has. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barebear 37 Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 My first reaction was to be very happy!! In fact I am delighted. There’s a certain level of work ethic that I think he demands. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,353 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Now he will assist Graeme Murty, who has been assured he will be in charge of Rangers until the end of the season. So if a great manager comes along over the next couple of months, we aren't going to offer him the job? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uilleam 5,486 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Back to the Future. Mind you, I don't know whether to give this prediction credence, or file with the Chiclet's Eoin Jess revelation. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
