Don't think Murty really ticks enough of the boxes. He's not really local and doesn't know a great deal about Scottish football or its teams.
Neil McCann would be a good shout. Spent all his time covering Scottish football, knows the club and is quite sensible. Alex Rae decent shout too.
Everyone has a price tag. I'd like to see them in a better Rangers side but if the money is there, take it. McKay would be the most difficult to replace of the two.
The job title doesn't really matter, but I think there are insights which would be useful from someone who knows the club and the Scottish game. Equally there are things an outsider will spot, but it's about covering all the skillsets.
I suppose they're still only as useful as the manager they work under allows them to be. Less of a benefit if the manager has such an inflexible style of play. By all accounts that's not how Caixinha operates, so hopefully it addresses our big mistakes. Capitulations at Tynecastle avoidable this season if we'd played with any sense of how a game at Tynecastle was going to go.
He doesn't have a long term assistant manager. His current assistant is Habib Sadegh who was with his current club for at least 3 years before he arrived.
Has to be a balance, his backroom staff and coaches should be about ability but I think we'd be missing a trick if we didn't have at least one person who knows what playing away at the piggery is like.
Rumours are that the club will be picking his assistant and that it will likely be someone with a Rangers background.
Any suggestions on who you would like it to be or who you think it will be?
The Record put forward the names of Alex Rae, Lee McCulloch and Barry Ferguson.
