N ON THE A9..
was spent badly because any manager has to be given free reign when it comes to buying or selling players. A terrible Motherwell team are the only side not to take anything from Rangers this season. That tells you everything you need to know. Going back to Friday and Rangers actually started the game as well as any for a long time. They missed a couple of chances, some shots were saved and the passing game, absent at Dens Park, reappeared.
BUT all Inverness had to do was step up a gear, get the ball in Rangers half and the men from Ibrox began to shrink, as if the badge on the jersey was too heavy for them. They might say they should have won. Graeme Murty thought so. But Jon Toral missing a sitter at 1-0 is not misfortune, it’s bad football.
Murty is a popular character at the club. The people there really feel for this guy who has aged about ten years in two weeks. It’s St Johnstone next on Wednesday, then Hamilton in the Scottish Cup and then the fourth meet- ing with Celtic, a game even the most optimistic of Bears are trying to avoid by volunteering to clear out the gutters that day.
No situation is insurmountable. It’s not as if Rangers have no hope at all. However, King has to start acting like the Rangers owner and show that he cares.
I hear flights from South Africa are easy to get if you’re a multi-millionaire.
