Pedro Caixinha won’t be in Glasgow today to give the Sevco squad a message of hope ahead of Sunday’s Glasgow derby.
The new Jose Mourinho has had to stay behind in Qatar to complete the paperwork for his departure from Al Gharafa.

RANGERS TARGET DELAYED.

With Friday being a day off work in Qatar it’s unlikely that any paperwork will be completed today.
Yesterday the fifth best team in Qatar decided to bump the former bull-fighter rather than haggle for compensation for the remaining 45 days of his contract.
With Stewart Robertson, Graeme Park and Andrew EBT Dickson leading the chase for a new manager Sevco have again came up short in the week that they gave up on their quest to find a Director of Football.
A competent club would have had someone on the ground yesterday in Qatar to complete the paperwork for Brother Pedro rather than allow a further delay.
Brother Pedro and his agent can now let the Sevco delegation sweat it out through today as they seek approval from Dave King to complete the deal.
Incredibly some sources claimed that the former Santos Laguna boss was to be paid £800,000/ year by taking on Mark Warburton’s old job.
With Brother Pedro stuck in Qatar it’ll be left to Murts to complete preparations for Sunday’s match with the first team squad knowing that he’ll soon be back on bibs and cones duty with the reserve squad.
Caixinha has never worked in the city of London as a trader.
