Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Micky Beale were both effectively sacked by Ibrox fan media.

Having invited them into the tent to get official media access to the club, message boards like Follow Follow are a sounding board to measure the anger of bears.

After being fed tales about Transition the Scottish Cup exit at home to Queens Park is the point of no return for someone who was drooled over 12 months ago as A Proper Football Manager.

Following a couple of weak questions at the post match media conference the fan media guys finally found a backbone and called on Clement to resign. Having extended his contract in the summer he will be hanging in for every penny that he is due.

The direct questions in the media conference were tame compared to the reaction on-line.

They’ve tried patience but after beating Celtic on January 2 points were dropped to Hibs and Dundee.

Progress in the Europa League covered up for a multitude of sins but it all came home to roost today with the expensive stars on the park.

Jefte and Hamza Igamane are two £30m transfer deals waiting to be signed off, Ianis Hagi, Valclav Cerny and Nedim Bajrami started as did the new Barry Ferguson- Bailey Rice. He got hooked at half-time.

At the break Nicky Raskin and Cyriel Dessers came on, John Souttar and Ridvan Yilmaz followed but Seb Drozd scored in the 69th minute with Captain Disappointed missing a stoppage time penalty.

If Clement is still in a job tomorrow morning the anger will turn on the Ibrox board and new CEO Paddy Stewart.

Last week they couldn’t afford the £500,000 to sign Lyall Cameron from Dundee, this week it is going to cost an awful lot more to sack A Proper Football Manager and his backroom staff.

    “Lights go out, walls come tumbling down!” Words that are usually inspirational about better times ahead in a difficult situation, but for the orcs it’s now probably more a case of “Hello Darkness My Old Friend” or “It’s The End Of The World As We Know It”……

    Must be an awfy financial calamity as well, prob had the next 3 cup games as gimmes, what kinda money do they draw off home games and a final?

    Editor: A home quarter final plus two games at Hampoden with shared gate money would have provided about £2m, will be a big drop off now on every income stream as well, which is nice.
