Rangers Football Club

Ireland are playing today and you're searching for stories about a former Rangers manager?

I wonder are rangers/sevco fans as obsessed about the inner workings and economics of Celtic as the likes of Tony is with them? Hating your bitter rivals is fine but

After another 0-0 victory away to Kilmarnock, new boss had this to say:

“It’s getting difficult for us.

“We know we need to play twice against Aberdeen and that they have to play against all of the top six again.

“The maths says it can still be done but the next game will be crucial to understand if we’re able or not.
“If we don’t win on Sunday against Aberdeen, we don’t deserve to be in second position.
“That’s my challenge – it’s something we need to prove to ourselves.
“We are Rangers and we want to fight.”
Caixinha named his starting eleven for the drab draw 24 hours before kick-off, with debutants David Bates and Myles Beerman in the line-up – and insisted he’d do it again.
He said: “Sometimes you might be bluffing when you do that but I’m not a bluffing guy.
“Did you think of it from the opposite side? Not from me as Rangers manager but from Lee as Kilmarnock manager?
“Maybe he needs to think more about it. The only change you saw was Sammon on the right and Jones on the left.
“Is that too much? I don’t think so.
“I need to give confidence to my team.

“That was the message for the opponents and for all of Scotland, but it was especially a message for our players to say, ‘I’m counting on you’.
“It doesn’t matter which eleven we have. Let’s go to war.
“Would I do it again? If I need to, I will do it for sure.
“I don’t like to analyse individuals but I can make an exception because it’s the first time the two of them played.
“Both are defenders and we had a clean sheet so at least that means they did their work – especially David, when he lost that first ball because he could’ve lost some confidence in that moment.
“They did what we expected them to do and I’m happy with them.”

He added that he wants his players to be ANGRY when they don’t win games.
He said: “We cannot be happy drawing the game.
“We need to reinforce to the players the demands of playing at such a massive club which needs to win all the time – and we need to be angry when we don’t do it.
“We should be angry that we didn’t – that’s the frustration.”
Meanwhile, Killie boss Lee McCulloch thought his side had snatched it with Sean Longstaff’s last-gasp header which went narrowly wide.
He said: “I thought it was going in. It was the 92nd minute and he’s up challenging, so credit to Sean.
“There was good energy from the boys, the shape worked, the game plan worked and I thought we were the better team in the first-half.
“I changed my gameplan slightly when Rangers named their team beforehand.
“I didn’t change my starting 11 but I used it in part of the team talk.
“I wouldn’t do it, but if a manager wants to do it, he can.”

its all a conspiracy!

Strange comment there Tony, given how Aberdeen dominated most of the second half until they were punished in what can be described as 5 minutes of madness.
