I’d like to think that Alex Rae has already thrown a few punches- Rangers Rabble point the way forward

There was far more passion on Ibrox social media than the new management team found on the pitch last night as the Tribute Act crashed to a 2-1 defeat to ARIS Limassol in the Europa League.

Steve Davis and Alex Rae didn’t make the slightest difference as furious bears watched another gutless performance from many players picking up north of £30,000 a week on long term contracts.

With Micky Beale sacked at the weekend his legacy lives on in the team sheet with a squad of players that barely look interested led by the least inspirational captain in the history of Scottish football.

Afterwards Social Media, message boards and every other medium was used to the full, not fool, as angry bears poured out their poison towards the men they expected to ‘deliver 56’ at a canter.

The best manager’s in the world would struggle to put together a winning run of a couple of matches from the current Ibrox squad, game by game it looks like things are getting worse with no sign of a turnaround.

On Sunday the circus heads to Paisley, the only consolation for Beale’s squad is that there will only be 1,600 fans shouting abuse rather than the 42,000 who’d have been in place for a home match.
