Implying that Ferguson sees anything to do with Rangers as an end in itself.

Sounds terrible. I hope that it turns out to be a load of rubbish.

I don't think that Knutsen is a great choice for Rangers. I do think that Knutsen is a great choice for me and my football hipster credentials.

The club needs a certain amount of privacy to get important things done. Some people are always demanding information. These demands are almost never accompanied by any justification.

I think Kamara and Kent are good enough to play at that level. Morelos was good enough a couple of years back but not now.

I think Lampard would be a good, but imperfect, choice. I'm happy if Wilson can identify better options.

Souness wanted to finish the season. Murray made him finish up immediately.

Of course. I'll back any manager to begin with. Given that we are still selecting a manager this is the best time to mention any doubts. Particularly since rumours are often just made up at this stage.

It's not negative. If we can't weigh up the pros and cons of a prospective manager then I'm not sure what the point of the thread is. Should I post some fairy story about how he will know Glasgow, the Scotch game and the club inside out?

I'm not all that excited about the prospect of Van Bronckhorst. I think he has a lot of what we would like. He played successfully at an elite level. He has had success in management already. I'm not sure if he is the right type of character for it. That's based only on a handful of interviews that I've listened to. I may well be wrong about this. I'm not sure that successful management in foreign leagues always translates to this hellhole either. Also China, really? Why go there so early in his career?

He was fed up of intrusively curious fans.

A good manager knows when to delegate. Somebody like Beale could be hired again.

Moving one, or two, players in particular might help with that.

What makes you think he knows much about the Scotch game? He got out 20 years ago.

I don't think that this is true.

No mention of two real Rangers men yet? Maybe it is time for the dream team of Kenny Miller and Lee Wallace. Both know the club inside out.

I suspected that he had reached the point where he found it difficult to motivate the players. After 3 years things often just need a fresh approach. I was surprised when Gerrard got the job and it seemed really bleak before that. The concern is probably that we will have few decent options available again.

Steven Naismith with Lee McCulloch as his assistant and Andy Halliday to deflect a barrage of completely justified complaints.

Big opportunity for, uh, Goldson and Morelos to win a move in January.

Rangers 4 Ross County 0 First goal scorer: Kent

Brondby 0 Rangers 3 First goal scorer: Sakala

Great result. This could have been a difficult weekend for us but everything has gone our way.

Goldson is building quite a highlight reel.

Motherwell 1 Rangers 2 First goal scorer: Morelos
