What the heck is going on at Rangers? | OneFootball

We really do have to wonder what on earth is going on at our club, at Rangers FC, which sees easily the worst preseason in recent memory as everything that could go wrong, has done.

From the absolutely catastrophic stadium shambles, to making not a single decent squad-improving signing aside arguably Connor Barron, to failing to ship out the majority of dead wood while performing abysmally in all the friendlies not to mention the manager talking a brand of verbal diarrhoea that puts Mick Beale to shame, Rangers really are in an absolute hell of a state right now.

Celtic are already an embarrassing odds-on favourite (1/2) to win the title next season, Rangers are managing to secure very generous odds of 6/4 – and sure, the title is won on the pitch not in bookies’ algorithms, but it tells a story when the bookies are practically paying out on next season already.

It’s hard to even pinpoint the exact point it went wrong, but clearly something is fundamentally broken with Rangers that sees such a complete mess in pretty much every department of the club these days.

We can’t even blame the board because that’s all Rangers fans ever do – blame most boards for everything when things go wrong.

The Ashley/Llambias/Easdales era got it in the neck, Dave King was strangely immune despite achieving not a lot, then Douglas Park eventually became immensely unpopular along with the Ross Wilson tenure, and now Park’s replacement John Bennett and co are being blamed.

If the team is winning, is successful on the pitch, fans leave the suits alone. If it’s not, if it’s all struggling, then the board gets it tight.

And since March, Rangers really have been struggling, more intensely than any year in recent times, with Philippe Clement’s limitations completely exposed while the threadbare and aging squad didn’t help.

It’s just one thing after another with this current setup in Govan, and as we alluded to earlier, we’re reluctant to just pin all responsibility on John Bennett or even the outgone James Bisgrove.

All we know is the club lurches from one mistake to another, and it’s safe to say we’re pretty sick of it.

We just wish we knew what the cause was.
