Can Ross Wilson survive another two Rangers calamities?

And yes, it’s very much time to look at Ross Wilson as well, not that we hadn’t. That’s right, Rangers’ Director of Football has been doing little but directing injuries, it seems, that and bad personnel decisions.

While it was a collision, Leon King’s injury today means, as of the time of writing, Rangers now have just 13 senior players available excluding Devine.

Ben Davies injured again, King now joins the pile.

So that’s, excluding goalies:

Tavernier, Sands, Barisic, Lundstram, Kamara, Davis, Jack, Arfield, Kent, Matondo, Wright, Tillman, Morelos.

Looking at the bench this afternoon was utterly tragic, with McCann, Devine, Yfeko and Ure making up the numbers – Gio having to dip into the Academy just to fulfil the substitute requirements. As for Lowry, we’re not even going there, we’ve no idea what’s happened between Gio and Lowry to see the playmaker axed.

Ross Wilson has become deeply unpopular with Rangers supporters the past 6 months. With GVB indirectly confirming he personally does not make the final decisions on transfers and personnel trading, it clearly falls on the Director of Football to make those calls, with the support of those around him.

And Wilson’s performance since Seville has been absolutely horrific, arguably this whole calendar year.

January saw four of the worst signings in the history of Rangers – Amad Diallo, John Souttar, Aaron Ramsey, and Mateusz Zukowski. James Sands also joined on loan. Thankfully two of them were loans and could depart in the summer, but Zukowski had to be sold. Souttar of course joined formally this summer and we know how that’s worked out.

January was just dreadful. Summer? Colak is the only incoming to have worked out, and the generous ‘pass’ goes to Tillman and Lawrence, kind of. That these are pretty thin on the ground gives some idea of Souttar, Yilmaz, Davies and Matondo’s impact on the club.

And all of this clearly falls on Wilson, with Gio increasingly seeming to appear a helpless bystander. But the worst stuff of course is the summer sales and exits. Katic, Balogun and Bassey – two of whom were massive parts of Seville, and all of whom were shown the exit by Wilson.

Now Rangers are in a mess, a real, unmitigated mess, which horribly reminds us of the banter years that got aimed at our direction for so long.

It’s a complete cluster****. And Wilson carries the can for a LOT of it.
