Steven Gerrard must reverse massive summer decision

We here at Ibrox Noise often get told that we’re pessimistic, that it’s always doom and gloom with us. Yeah we’re not always a happy bunch here but we always try and call it as we see it but from yesterday’s pantomime there isn’t much to be happy about right now! We called it that Dundee would be tricky and that it was inevitable that Miller would be one of the reasons it wouldn’t be a walk in the park.

Now, there seems to be an issue with the team and from what I’m watching one of them is there is a distinct lack of fight. Defence yesterday was shambolic and even Middleton noticed it with him uttering ‘F*** sake man’ when he came onto the pitch. Teammates getting frustrated with each other is nothing new

Now begs the question; What can be done? Personally what I think is needed (among other things) is a change of captain. I have never recognised Tav as captain, he frankly doesn’t have the gall or the leadership for such a role. I even once suggested that it was a ploy by Gerrard in order to boost his worth so we could get a wee bit extra cash for him.

Alas we didn’t sell him. Instead he’s wearing the armband which should be worn by someone more worthy and more capable.  Lately he has completely not been deserving the honour of pulling on that armband, his overall form has been poor and his lack of awareness of who he can service is ridiculous; he seemed completely unaware of Grezda on the pitch. He’s often out of position and as a fan it’s frustrating to watch.

So who can be the next captain? There’s a few differences of opinion on who it should be here at Ibrox Noise. Allan McGregor was one man on the pitch yesterday who was seen to be pushing his men up the field, to look frustrated at play and try to get something extra from the squad. Then springs the issue that he’s our keeper. Do we really want our keeper to be our captain? The idea of keepers as captain seems to split fans but he would certainly be worthy of wearing it.

Now my choice for captain happens to be Scott Arfield. He shows grit and determination, and mostly he’s passionate. Plus unlike if McGregor was captain, Arfield would be in the thick of it, he’d be in the centre of play and could directly impact, not shouting from one end of the pitch to the other. He shows want, he craves to succeed and that is only a good thing for the demands of Rangers FC.

Now I’m not saying that Tav doesn’t want to succeed but it’s hardly as apparent through his ‘notion’ of leadership. He dreams through games and just seems to be elsewhere. We don’t have many options of an ideal captain but surely we have a better option than Tavernier?

What’s your thoughts guys?
