Colinbrox:
What utter rubbish.What planet are you on? Your wish was granted on Sunday.Durrant gave full backing to "Humble misunderstood Barry" and his scots clansmen (eight scots players in total). Result - The worst performance and result in decades and the total humiliation of our club. So this is your idea of the future is it?

Apart from Dado Prso Barry Ferguson is the only player who burst a gut to keep Le Guen in his job. If the players Le Guen brought to the club had tried half as hard then Le Guen would still have his job. I'm sure when Le Guen looks back he'll realise that Barry only complained out of his love for the club and had no hidden agenda.

I remember rumours, around the end of McLeish's reign, that the players weren't following his instructions on the field. Let's say the rumours were true... wouldn't a captain be instrumental in the team disobeying the manager's orders, or if not, he'd certainly be guilty of not doing enough to enforce the orders on the park. The rumours might have been a lot of rubbish, but it would certainly be another example of Ferguson's insubordination, and him having a negative effect on the team.

Rangers seem to be in a panic yet again, I never understood why alex mcleish was let go, and now Le Guen goes because they can't match celtic in half a season in charge!! please!
With the Scottish national team playing well for the first time in 16 + years the decision to go after their contracted management team shows how lowly Rangers support scottish football. This is the worst part of the whole misserable episode, and action should be taken against them for sure a low move.
As for barry ferguson, grow up!

I would just like to say that I think its a disgrace that Smith would turn his back on his country to go back to Rangers. He can't win a trophy for 18 months, even then it won't be anything he hasn't achieved several times before (I know they're still in the UEFA, but I can't see them winning that). Meanwhile, he's selling out Scotland who actually have a chance for qualifying for their first major tournament for a decade. I'd love to say I was surprised, but I think it sums up the mentality of a lot of people involved with the Old Firm.

And your attitude is typical of fans outside the old firm, if you're that bothered about scotland let's see what you've got to say if the sfa go for levein to replace walter smith?

All very well about Fergusson and Amoruso, but Fergusson was ALREADY playing the best football of his career, when he was strippe of the captaincy. What's worse, the rest of the team weren't doing so well!

Besides, Le Guen did it out of personal spite, not to improve performances.

According to the French press Paul Le Guen quit:his offer to resign three weeks before his last meeting with Murray was rejected. He left - without compensation - disappointed but convinced that he had done all that he could. He was shocked by the prominent part played by alcohol in the lives of some players and by their attitude to training. By failing to back him, Murray has done double damage to Scottish football. He has upset the management of Scotland at a critical time; and he has thrown away the chance to establish sound foundations - based on peak physical fitness and the honing of technical skills - for sustained future success. Such an achievement would have had an important knock-on effect throughout the SPL. So, alas, will the actual PLG experience. Moreover, the cost to Rangers has been immediate. Had Murray backed PLG last week,attitudes and behaviour at Ibrox would have been transformed and his team would still have been in the Scottish Cup. No doubt the stern and stubborn M. Le Guen had his faults. With strong support however he would have succeeded.

Honestly, as a United fan I don't want Levein to leave - he's doing quite a good job for us.

And,as a Scotland fan I certainly don't want Levein to get the job - because I'm not sure he's up to it. A good spell with Cowdenbeath, a good spell with Hearts, failure at Leicester, a month at Raith then 2 promising months at Tannadice. Not enough there to convince he's ready for international management I'm afraid.

Unfortunately for all those living outside Glasgow - what would Scottish football ever have been without Rangers and Celtic. If either of these teams ever get to play in the Premiership, it is quite simply the end of Scottish professional football. Rangers are a bigger institution than the SFA, and always will be.

Making McGregor no.1 over Klos. Bringing through all the young talent from the academy and playing it regularly (Smith, Hutton, Adam).
