Surely Murty deserves a crack at the job til end of season?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You may get your wish BB , just maybe

I reckon under any half decent manager we could challenge. Because in Scotland it's about beating every one else.

it was proved by the three dreadfull league performances before the celtic game last season

nobody seems to remember how bad we were then

he's nice enough and could probally do a similar job to caixinha and warburton but that's not good enough we need a real manager going forward

Mcleish not go 7 old firms in a row losing before one towards end of season in 2005? I can't remember but it was a time that was a real struggle v celtic
----------------------------------------------------------------------
At the start of his managerial reign though Celtic struggled to beat rangers. Beat us in the league cup final to help win the treble that year.

That winning run will stop at some point and when it does you will lose other games, that's how sports work. So much is psychological.

We don't need to beat Celtic to win the league though imo. However, I think Murty would beat you at some point.

Castle - So under Murty you reckon Gers will be Champs?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not sure he is saying "will be" but anything can happen in football if you keep winning matches , I don't think murty will get the job but he is doing ok at the minute, I'm pleased for the guy, the media up here will swallow him up and spit him out

I'd agree with polloks that Murty isn't the man to take us forward. We need an experienced man for the job.

He's fine for standard league games like today but for the big ones we need a bit more tactical ability.

I still don't think he actually wants the job but it would be silly for him not to apply. He's done himself no harm.


Great to see us control the game from the start. That's one thing that was badly missing under Pedro.

I think Pedro had the PLG syndrome where he just didn't realise the scale of the job. He may be a good coach but there's a lot more to being a Rangers manager.

Lau - fair enough

I believe you’re wrong right now. In past years, maybe, but not now.

Means in OF games individual games.

You are forgetting that even though you have gone 63 games unbeaten you have dropped points with draws.

The press are going very easy on Murty at the mo but you can be assured that if he got the gig the vultures would be circling again, and the likes of Sutton and the rest would pile on the pressure.

I don't think he'd want to be in that position.

As I said the winning run will end. It's not going to go on forever is it?

It remains to be seen. Aberdeen aren't miles away right now. If Rangers did win against everyone else celtic would have little room for error. That would bring pressure on a squad that let's be honest hadn't been challenged in the league since Walter Smith was managing.

Castle - I wasn't forgetting we've had a few draws - I was at most of them

it's a little ignorant to say Murty has no tactical nous based on anything we have seen to date.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
A tad harsh

I never said he didn't have any but he wasn't entirely convincing the first time around.

If we're actually going to beat Celtic and Aberdeen we will need that extra edge.

Saying he wasn't convincing first time around is wrong imo. He took over a team at rock bottom, who had zero confidence, a team who when another team scored against us looked physically afraid on their faces. He started slowly but got them confident. That takes real skill as a manager imo.

All very well and good but Aberdeen have never shown any required consistency since the 80’s. Why will it happen now all of a sudden.

This Rangers team is as capable of beating Celtic as any team in the league. It will happen. All things come to an end. But let’s not kid ourselves that this Rangers team is capable of actually challenging for the title. It’s teally not and no manager will change that.

Rangers need consistency and already Murty is showing that. He’s the only one to get a result against us in a surprising 1-1 draw.

Rangers need consistency and that in itself is moving forward. 👍

Castle - 63 games - 56 wins/7 draws - we've still won 89% of our domestic matches - that's still some going. Away form has been fantastic - only 2 draws and one of them was due to a penalty that never was at Dingwall

I think they’ve shown they can handle pressure. Qualification for the CL, a treble and setting a new British record for being unbeaten domestically.

The part I’m questioning is that you don’t need to beat Celtic to win the league. Right now, yes you do. Because no team can win every game.

Were they not 2nd in the league when Warburton left?!?

Not knocking that Steve it's some record and well done. But it will end at some point and when it does we will really see character, as I suspect once you lose one, you will lose others far quicker and if Rangers go on a run to be near Celtic at this point things will get interesting. Whether that's this season. Next season or even after, but it will happen.

This Celtic team as was said above hasn't had any pressure put on it or any sort of challenge at all. Be interesting when it happens.
