For a big portion of Rangers followers Gio an Bronckhorst ’s reign within the huge home at Ibrox needs to be delivered to an finish after one other underwhelming show within the 1-0 cup win over Dundee noticed the group booed off. It’s not simply the Dutchman within the firing line both with the Mild Blues hierarchy additionally accused of failing in workplace. Neil Renton, Edinburgh, who mentioned; “It’s little surprise that Rangers followers are booing the gamers. The group are about as convincing as Liz Truss is as Prime Minister.”
Jamie Thompson, Clydebank, blasted: “Sufficient is sufficient. It’s clear Van Bronkhurst’s techniques and gamers he signed are simply not ok. The present group and sporting director Ross Wilson are nowhere close to ok. The shortage of concern from administrators is a severe fear, they should act now.”
Jimmy Mac, Glasgow, mentioned: “Rangers have been pathetic and have been rightly booed off the park in opposition to a mediocre Championship Dundee group who in the direction of the tip might simply have gained the sport themselves. The board, Wilson and Van Bronkhorst should go, between them they've created the more severe group I've ever seen in my lifetime, there isn't a ability, no high quality, no stamina, no pace and no creativity on and off the ball.”
Lewis Fotheringham, Mount Ellon, mentioned: “An underwhelming show from Rangers. The gamers had 'Zero% Mission' displayed on their shirts however I do not know if that is meant to be the sponsor or the group's general motivation for this season.”
Robert Livingstone, Palm Seaside, mentioned: “You recognize you’re in hassle when boo'd from the park. The group is down in confidence, not helped by distractions. Kent desires away to the EPL and our drawback youngster Morelos offers all his on-line followers coded messages in Spanish. Kent and Morelos need the most effective of each worlds, for them loyalty is a meaningless phrase and perhaps the membership ought to give Alfredo a message in his favorite language - ‘adios amigo, muchas gracias’. Nobody is greater than the membership.”

Rab Hunter, Dumfries, mentioned: “How can we count on VAR to enhance our recreation when our officers can’t administer the principles of the sport in a constant method. Final weekend one official refused to guide gamers that went into the gang after scoring and, even worse, didn't take motion in opposition to a participant, already on a yellow card, for raking an opponents achilles which resulted in them having to go away the sport. If easy, blatant indiscretions are merely ignored by means of both incompetence and/or bias then there may be little hope.”
Lastly, Stephen Johnstone, Ardentinny, had a phrase of help for Neil Lennon. He mentioned: “Lennon’s reward for taking Omonsia Nicosia into Europa League and making historical past by profitable the Cypriot Cup is the sack for sitting seventh within the home league.

Your skills have been wasted overseas, you might be up there with the most effective characters in soccer administration and a born winner.”
