Graeme Murty has revealed that he was ready to throw ‘a proper strop’ during last week’s win over Dundee.

The respectful Sevco caretaker has cultivated a nice guy image using all the friendly buzz words that you’d expect from an HR Manager.

It’s all about development, experiences and journeys for Murts who has presided over five home defeats since replacing Pedro Caixinha.

An illusion of being respectful and dignified is all important to the hoards that pack into Ibrox even if it is in short supply in every area of the club.

I was at Hampden for the Betfred Cup semi-final when Pedro was sent to the stand,” Murty recalled to The Scotsman. “It’s okay saying you need to control yourself, but it’s easier said than done.

I had an incident last week where everything in me wanted to throw a proper strop and walk on to the pitch and tell the referee how wrong he was.

But I believe you have to conduct yourself in a certain way to work for this football club, I really do.

You have to act in a certain manner that is becoming of the station but it’s hard – let’s make no bones about it.”

On Monday Murts found out how much Dave King values dignity when he sent out a letter to season ticket holders promising a new manager to bring instant success.

Elsewhere Ally McCoist, Barry Ferguson and Kris Boyd have all discussed openly who will be the next manager at Ibrox with outsider Murts not being shown the traditional respect that a ‘Real Rangers Man’ would be given.
