He will be a free agent,  let's get him back, Martin & Still, sounds like the advert at the cinema in the 70s. 

Doubt he's truly a free agent. He's only one Lineker kitchen table interview away from Man Utd.

Watching him run for his life is very therapeutic. I suddenly feel better after all those months of pure misery of sideways football and suicidal tactics

Whilst I really don’t like him and think he is full of shit I cannot quite believe how badly it’s gone for him up there. If ever there was a league to hide a manager’s inadequacies by virtue of facing inferior opponents that is surely it yet after 1 league win in 7 against said inferior opponents he’s being smuggled out of the stadium for fear of being attacked by enraged sweaties. Jesus Christ.

According to the Rangers forum there's a board meeting tonight.

They are going to sack the fans, they asked Russ what the problem was and he didn’t hold back.

Agree, I thought he’d do fine up there with the exception of when they played Celtic and possibly Hearts.

He’s being talked about as arguably one of the worst managers ever in Scotland, given the budget he’s had. Meanwhile, Rangers are stuck with overpriced players he picked and can’t offload - they're getting the full RM-experience.

It is terrible. I know you only get a small proportion of it on social media etc but the clamour for every ex player and ex manager to come back is tiring.

Bugger, I'd hoped a draw was enough to extend the entertainment / damage / hilarious Rangers comments.

Resounding Fuck Off to that.

I don’t think Still is the man to take us forward, but I’d rather stick with him than have that bearded egotistical bellend back.

It's hard to see where his career goes from here. Whether he'd be willing to drop back to the championship, or even league 1, I'd be surprised. Even then, his commitment to a process which plainly doesn't work, and his comments about his players, are hardly going to appeal to many chairman.

The sad thing is, watching his demise up there has genuinely been more fun than watching us this season.


(Thanks for building this wonderful squad Russ & SR)

Not at all. Who could forget your melt down after your wife saw a comment someone made about her on here and she made you promise you’ll never post on here again. Hasn’t stopped you has it.

It's quite sad, really, that you do this with quite a few people: misremember something that did, or in this, did not, happen, and then repeat it ad nauseum, as if your whole life was taken up with the obsession. Seriously, get a hobby or something.

So a manager of a team expected to finish in the top 2 this season averaging 1.14 points per game is sacked 

v 

A manager expected to finish in the top 2 this season averaging 1.22 points per game, but still hanging on in there! 

So where is the difference… well 0.08 that’s where! 😦

Not really. He'll get a decent Championship job because the last time he managed in the Championship he pushed 90pts and won the playoffs. That's enough to get you a crack with an underperforming Champ side with top six ambitions

He was willing to take a Championship job before Rangers (he got offered the Leicester job and had meetings with WBA) so I'm sure he'd still be willing to take one next time around. He'd probably benefit from a bit of time out of the game because the Rangers experience has been a bit of an ordeal for him really

And as much as Rangers was a total shitshow, there are also quite a few other contributing factors at that club (not that I am trying to find excuses for Dear Old Russ...) and a Champ side will look at Saints and Swansea as more relevant experience
