sbcmfc Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Don't get me wrong, McCoist has bought poorly and there is a huge steaming pile of shite at the club, however, they are of a calibre that should be able to walk out of the Championship and into the SPL. The fact that they are not in that position is down to McCoist/McDowell and Durrant. A half way competent manager would have the current staff easily going up - and they certainly wouldn't be in the position that they are in now vis a vis Hearts. TT Got to agree, most of these guys were star performers in decent premier league sides. The problem would appear to be with the coaching and the culture. Perhaps signing these guys on big money, or certainly bigger money than they'd have got elsewhere means they are there for the wrong reasons?

Parklife Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Got to agree, most of these guys were star performers in decent premier league sides.Behave. Many of them were good players, I'd describe one or two as being the best players in their sides (Boyd & law). However guys like Foster, steven smith, Jon daly, Nicky Clark, etc have always been pretty garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, Nicky Clark was a signing that actually did make a bit of sense IMO. The wages we gave him didn't.

The best players in the lower leagues were what Rangers should have been looking at. Instead they signed Sandaza, Kyle, Black, et al on big money, so that they could prove they were a big club.

Or, they could have went with a couple of experienced guys and a bunch of their youth team and won that league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experienced lower league players were what they needed. My Rangers supporting mates laughed at me when i suggested they should have went for Derek Young.

The 'big club' thing was to attract season tickets and be 'ready' should they draw their cross-town rivals in a Cup competition. Ironically, now that they have drawn Celtic in a Cup they have once again imploded and are basically defenceless. (Custer was better prepared.)
