RANGERS fans are still questioning the wisdom of Pedro Caixinha in deciding to ditch Clint Hill.

The 38-year-old was told last week he won’t be offered a contract extension this summer. But Hill has more supporters on his side as Rangers fans leaped to his defence.

said: “Danny Wilson looked a decent player at Rangers first time round because he played alongside David Weir. I would have kept Hill to guide Wilson through next season.

“Hill is the best defender at the club and he gave his all for the Light Blues jersey.

“I just hope Caixinha knows what he is doing bringing in 35-year-old Cagliari stopper Bruno Alves.
