After the combined wisdom of Derek Johnstone, Ally McCoist and Barry Ferguson warned Graeme Murty that his future was on the line there is more bad news for the Sevco caretaker today.
When your players have to go public backing you it is rarely a good sign. When ‘the lads in the dressing room’ are supporting you the end is usually nigh.
Murty’s record is virtually identical to Pedro Caixinha but with his upbeat use of buzz words and positivity the former York City starlet hasn’t been judged as harshly.
The excitement of the January loan signings has already slipped away with Sean Goss joining Jason Cummings on the bench while Russell Martin ships a goal or penalty most weeks.
Jamie Murphy has managed to retain his place in the side and spoke out in favour of Murty after the 2-2 draw at Motherwell on Saturday.
“We are all 100 per cent him,” the on loan Brighton star told the Daily Record. “He has been great for me since I came in.
“He brought me here and has involved me every week. He has done a lot for me so it is up to us and we owe him performances like the second half. I don’t think the speculation is getting to the players.
“It is Rangers so people speculate all the time about transfers, who is coming here, so it is up to us to keep it out, which I think we have been doing well.”
Sevco are at home to Dundee on Saturday knowing that if they drop any points to Neil McCann’s side the Premiership title could be beyond their reach before the split. Again.
