    At Saints he was too protective and pally with underachieving, lazy sods with no bottle - so he`s at least learned to criticise the players.
    Two wins over Panathinaikos are good results - in reality however, it should`ve been a Greek tragedy, such was their profligacy in both legs. A point at Calum Slattery`s Motherwell isn`t a bad result - but he wont get away with it for long.

    You can get away with roasting the players when you are well established and popular with the fans. But criticising after only the first league game and fans who were very sceptical in the first place, haes jaiket's oan a shoogly peg awready.

    My wife's from Glasgow but she's out at the moment, so I've had to do this myself. No doubt she'll be marking my work later.

    Fair amount of the Rangers forum want him gone already <laugh>

    Can't wait until he turns on the fans, they will NOT take it as well as we did.

    Yeah he needs to get off to a good start I think. Didn’t look like any fans wanted him in the first place, could get ugly quickly.

    Sorry but he really is such a prick <laugh>

    The Ibrox boss gave a scathing post-match debrief from his side's draw with Motherwell in their Scottish Premiership opener at the weekend, but hopes his players can fully take on board his message, insisting it came from a "place of love".

    A goal and a man down. This really isn't going well for Russ.

    BTEC Pep at it again.

    I was telling Rangers fans that I expected he would make them more solid in the league but worse in Europe, seems I got it the wrong way around.

    Well they've salvaged a draw with a penalty. Won't appease the Rangers fans though.

    Rangers have failed to win either of their first 2 league games for the first time since 1989. :emoticon-0136-giggl

    Yep. Potentially 4 points behind Celtic after 3 games. That is big in the SPL. I imagine he is in for a tough few months and will get lots of abuse
    Poor lad <laugh>
