Rangers’ manager Stuart McCall
has already downplayed suggestions Rangers require to be at their absolute best
in the playoffs in order to progress.

Speaking after the disappointing
draw at Tynecastle on Saturday, McCall was clear to reduce fan expectation
regarding what Rangers need to do to get promoted.

He said:
“We put in a good, strong away
performance today and we’ll need to do the same next week. We don’t need to win them all but we certainly have what it takes.”

After McCall put on McCulloch for
Foster in the dying minutes of a comfortable match, the quickfire concession of
two goals to throw away two points (albeit ultimately redundant) forces the
notion that should Rangers’ manager persist with the captain in any way, the
team most certainly will not win
them all anyway.

He went on:
“It’s two tough games against Queen of
the South, there is no doubt about that. If we get through it’s two tough games
against Hibs, and we’ll take it from there. I’m pleased with a lot of stuff. A
bit of naivety of decision-making cost us in the end. We played some good
football in parts. The second goal was a tremendous football goal.”

The former Motherwell manager’s
messages have been slightly mixed recently, with criticism of the SPFL’s ticket
decision by stating the playoffs fall under the league umbrella, while arguing
they do not in relation to player bookings.

There can be no doubt he is
feeling the pressure now, and seems eager to reduce expectations among
supporters.

That will be impossible to

I am beginning to think that you do not think he is a "complete revelation" anymore as you stated previously.
"A bit of naivety of decision-making cost us in the end. We played some good football in parts. The second goal was a tremendous football goal." The naivety was by himself in altering a decent defence in order to bring McCulloch on. A decision that cost us two goals and two points. The sooner this season is over and we can get rid of both McCall and McCulloch the better.
"A bit of naivety of decision-making cost us" oh the irony
I agree we don't NEED to win them all….but this is Glesga fuckin Rangers we're talking aboot and opposition of the quality of QOS, Hibs, and Motherwell/Ross fuckin County.
Jeezo. Not having any negative talk. Would rather hear wee Stuarty come right oot and say we'll pump them all.
