Rangers FC might have started the new season with a very positive tone but with each passing week the gloom seems to be returning back to the Ibrox.
Two weeks ago, Rangers drew their third Premiership game vs Motherwell 3-3 and the very next weekend they lost the season’s first Old Firm Derby which meant that the Light Blues have now managed to pick up only a single win in their four league matches.
Celtic who compared to their Glasgow rivals had a poor summer transfer window are now second on the league table while the Gers after signing as many as 15 new players are seventh.
And now to add insult to their injuries, Kenny Miller and Lee Wallace have won the appeal to the SPFL regarding the disciplinary action that Rangers took against them last season.
The club have come out strongly to condemn the decision from the SPFL but the fans are not too happy with how the club have dealt with the whole situation.
Many fans believe that no player is bigger than the club and the punishments handed out to Kenny Miller and Lee Wallace was just and fair.
But at the same time, they also feel that Rangers let Graeme Murty walk out as a free man.
A large section of the fans believe that Murty, who returned to his job as a youth coach at the end of the previous season was equally guilty and should be immediately thrown out of the club.
Re the Miller Wallace appeal. If it’s them vs murty then it’s hearsay and the whole thing falls down. If it’s witness’ then this result tells you the team backed the team and not the manager…which doesn’t surprise me.
Murty should be held accountable for his actions.

If i was a youth player im not sure how i could learn to respect murty as a coach or manager after this given that he lost the dressing room and had to be relieved of his duties before the end of the season. Just doesnt send a message that he is a coach to respect anymore

Rangers had to back Murty and suspend Wallace and Miller, even although Murty is a thin-skinned, non-confrontational, wallflower. Wallace and Miller were always likley to win their case. Murty should now be gone.

To be fair, this news was out in the open just after lunchtime.
Serious questions now over Murty long term at youth level. He can't be seen to continue

Kenny Miller has been moved on.
Graeme Murty should be moved on.Lee Wallace, a great and loyal servant to the club but with this mess and the signing of Barisic and Flanagan, I doubt he'll get much playing time this season, and he'll eventually move on to.
Time to move forward

Graeme Murty should be nowhere near our club regardless of the decision

Rangers fans know very well that after the club’s official statement on the SPFL judgement there no absolutely no chance that Lee Wallace will make an appearance for the club any time soon. So all they want from their beloved club is to be sensible and sell off the full-back for a handsome fee.
