Two games in, the case for Ferguson…

Paul: The end of the season can’t come quick enough to clear out this underperforming Rangers team and start afresh. Give the managerial position to Barry Ferguson full-time, then we will see a team of proven fighters, diehards and winners, with the manager setting the standards from his own successful playing career at the club.

Jim: We just are not good enough… the players look frightened out there. They don’t like it when the crowd gets to them. Confidence is shot. The list goes on and on. Break this team up.

Ian: Pep Guardiola or Alex Ferguson couldn’t get a tune out of these players. Spineless and lack physicality all over the park. Players are not interested and show no intensity. Poor recruitment to blame. The squad has only three or four players worth keeping. God knows what Barry does with this lot.

Ruaridh: I had hoped the fight shown at Kilmarnock would still be in evidence. Sadly not though. Still toothless in attack and rocky in defence. In fairness to Barry Ferguson though, I’m sure that even a top manager would struggle to get any consistency from the current squad. We’re just limping to the close season for yet more upheaval.

Lennie: Absolutely disgraceful performance again. If we play Tavernier and Propper on Thursday night against Fenerbahce, we will get hammered. Hagi was awful. We send out young Leon King on loan – he is a better player than those that played in the defence. Barry Ferguson is not a magician. Give youth a chance now, our season is over anyway.

And the early case against the interim manager…

Alistair: How did the decision to appoint an unproven stand-in manager get made? No track record of success. No stand-up good example for the players either. Barry and [Allan] McGregor blotted their copybooks on Scotland duty. Is this what we want the fans and team to look up to and respect? So wrong.

Anonymous: Ferguson joins on Monday, interviews and press conferences every day, parading around Ibrox taking selfies, appoints his pals as coaches, but every interview he keeps on telling us, ‘it’s not about me, it’s the team’. Gurns on the sidelines for 90 minutes then tells us they’re good players. Never a manager, taking us backwards, get him binned now!

William: We’re in utter limbo, the idea the so-called management team will still be here in August is laughable…

Anonymous: No matter how good a player Barry was, he is not managerial material. Get rid of the old guard who do not have a clue.

Rab: Dreadful performance, no visible change of tactics or approach from the previous managerial regime. The team lacked the ability to deal with a simple high press employed by Motherwell. Nothing came from the coaching team, some of whom were critical of the previous manager, to counter this.
