Ally McCoist: Rangers promotion through play-offs would be acceptable

[forlanssister 3,114]

Back on topic, a Rangers manager settling or apparently settling for second best at any time that it is still mathematically possible to be first is unacceptable, a Rangers manager settling or apparently settling for second best less than a quarter way into the season is a sacking offence in my book.

 

Settling for second? second,third and fourth are involved in the play offs !

Quite so.......

Since tumbling to the bottom of the pile, we have finished top of the third and fourth tiers. Essentially then, we quickly proved on the field that we were better than our environment. Now, though, if we finish second or worse, it will show - on the field - that we are in a lowly environment where we are not top dog, and for a club like Rangers, this will be a humiliation - even if we are promoted.

 

When a club has spent over 120 years never being lower than 6th in the leading division, to finish anything less than top of a much lesser division would be completely unacceptable.

And fifth too surely?

And fifth too surely?

 

IIRC

 

 

A. 3rd v 4th

 

B. winner of A v 2nd

 

C. Winner of B v SPFL1, 11th place

 

 

If it were today, we'd play the winers of Raith Rovers v QotS......

and if we were to through would play Motherwell in play-off final.
