Rangers fans, yet again, are this morning soul-searching, once more after turning up well short against Celtic, with a manager clearly out of his depth and clueless in these (and other) fixtures.

Philippe Clement now sees, for the first time, the vast majority of Rangers fans seeking a new manager, having enjoying a cult-like loyalty until his fifth Celtic fail.

See, while we agree on Ibrox Noise completely that the board have hardly held themselves in glory either, and the players lack fight, the buck ALWAYS ends with the manager.

And Rangers have simply picked badly for too many choices since 2012.

It’s been a revolving door of rubbish managers, with just two shining above the rest:

Giovanni van Bronckhorst, and Steven Gerrard.

One was (and is) a Rangers man, who was rather unfairly castigated by fans – he wasn’t the world’s best man-manager, true, but domestically he was a tonne better than many give him credit for, and of course, Sevilla.

Gerrard was an icon, who became one of us and while it took him over two years to suss the Scottish Premiership out, he did get there – and crucially, he beat Celtic on his second attempt, managed by Brendan Rodgers.

Clement can’t even lay a glove on Rodgers. He’s been a disgrace against him.

So while fans say ‘you can’t keep sacking managers’, if you get the right one in, you don’t need to.

That’s where the proper recruitment has to be done, and it wasn’t this time. It wasn’t for Michael Beale either. Wasn’t for Graeme Murty. And CERTAINLY wasn’t for Pedro.

Clement is, sadly, another Pedro, a joke of a manager who is deeply out of his depth and needs to move on.

Who replaces him?

Well we can think of someone, a former Rangers player, currently shining as a manager, who knows our club, who might lack experience at ‘utter must win’ management, but who knows that’s what it takes at Rangers. And is probably ready now.

Derek McInnes anyone?
