Murty trusts his own style

GRAEME MURTY has insisted he will do things his way for as long as he’s in the Rangers dugout. The interim manager is set to be in charge of the Ibrox side again when they take on Dundee at Dens Park this Sunday. He was given temporary command of the squad ahead of last week’s William Hill Scottish Cup clash with Morton following Mark Warburton’s shock exit. The former Scotland international started with the same 4-3-3 system which was the trademark of the Glasgow giants under their now departed boss. But he switched to a 4-4-2 set-up as they struggled against Jim Duffy’s Greenock outfit, with the move eventually producing the 2-1 win which booked their place in the last eight. Now he has said he will continue to trust his own instincts for however long he remains in the post. Speaking to RangersTV, Murty said: ‘I am just as I was, I am fortunate to be in this position and, until I am told differently, I will do the job to the best of my ability. ‘What I have said to the players today is I am not going to try and be anyone else. ‘I can’t do it because I would fail them and I would fail myself. ‘I have shown them a bit of my personality and my values and if I get replaced tomorrow, then I get replaced tomorrow — but I couldn’t hand on heart do the job without telling the team that first.’ Murty, 42, hung up his boots back in 2010 and admits it is strange now to find himself managing a group of players that he once played alongside and against. ‘It is quite odd managing those I’ve played with or against. There is Clint Hill, there is Kenny Miller and there is Martyn Waghorn,’ he said. ‘I was told very early on in my coaching career that people will care what you think if they think you care. I care about the people in this group.’
