TheBluebells 6,898 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Just when you thought he couldn't embarrass us any more.....ALLY McCOIST claims the "sideshow" at Rangers is beginning to affect some players as he took aim at former chief executive Charles Green in the wake of the Ibrox side's 2-1 opening day defeat to Championship rivals Hearts.Rangers lost 2-1 to a Hearts side who are widely viewed as their main challengers for the Championship title this season and automatic promotion to the top flight.However the manager took aim at Green in the wake of the defeat, which follows a week where the former chief executive re-emerged to claim he has investors ready to stabilise the club financially.Gers fans subsequently threatened a formal boycott if Green was to return but there were over 43,683 at Ibrox as skipper Lee McCulloch unfurled the First Division title flag before the Govan Stand was officially renamed the Sandy Jardine Stand in memory of the Rangers and Hearts legend, who passed away in April after a long battle with cancer.After a good start and several chances to open the scoring it soon all went wrong for Rangers with former defender Danny Wilson opened the scoring in the 52nd minute with a header from a Billy King corner and although Gers midfielder Nicky Law levelled as the game edged into six added minutes, Swedish striker Osman Sow grabbed a dramatic winner for the Jambos seconds later.Afterwards Rangers boss McCoist was asked about the prospect of Green returning to the club in any sort of capacity."Whether he comes back or not remains to be seen," he said."I thought the timing of it again... it is a big day for the players, a big day for the supporters and even bigger day for Sandy Jardine's family."I just didn't think the timing of it was great."For the first time, one or two of the players actually said to me about the timing of all that kind of stuff."Everybody does their level best to keep players sheltered and away from it and we will continue to do that because they have to concentrate on results on the park."Sometimes it is a little bit of a sideshow we can do without."However, if Green has returned to be part of an unwanted sideshow then the main show might also worry Rangersfans after an uninspiring display.McCoist blamed "extremely poor" defending for the loss of the two goals, and complained that substitute Darren McGregor had not been in the right-back position quickly enough after replacing Richard Foster immediately after Rangers scored."When we get the equaliser we are looking at a positive reaction for the last five minutes to win the game and it floored everybody," he said."They saw a gap because Richard Foster came off and Darren McGregor came on and he wasn't in his position quick enough."I will need to look at it again. I don't think he was on the park quick enough for them to take centre."But if he is not on the park we should have stopped the game and not let them take centre until we had regrouped."He is definitely not in position when they take centre but I am not saying for a minute that's his fault."Hearts boss Robbie Neilson was pleased at the way his side responded to Rangers' goal."When Rangers scored in the 91st minute then the easiest thing would be for us to fold," said the former Gorgie defender."I've been here before and seen it and it ends up 2-1, 3-1 or 4-1 but we turned it around to show the character to come back and win it."I have a group of winners in my team but our season won't be defined by today, even though it's great to come to Ibrox and win."It's just another game which we will take confidence from but the Championship is relentless, this result won't matter if we go to Cowdenbeath or Dumbarton and get beaten as it's the same points we are playing for."But we'll enjoy it but it's back to training on Monday and we start again. We have Hibs next week and we need to gear ourselves up for that. " Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROCKnBLUE 2 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 All I can say is ally is not the man for the job,the players look lost, unfit,unsure of their position and role, no leader on team willing to grab game and be creative, no service to front two midfield unimaginative and poor passing and forward vision, no speed in the team average age appears to be 29 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

smitzer007 198 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I've never criticised Ally on this site simply because I've always been desperate for him to get it right and take the team forward but today has to be the moment that the penny drops for even the most ardent Ally supporter. It's not even the performance for me, it's the absolute denial from him that it has anything to do with him. Please Ally, do yourself and the supporters a favour and go!

CJblue72 7 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 John Grieg retains his legend status despite failing as a manager. The longer Ally hangs on I fear his legend status will be dismantled and consigned to the bin. Thanks for all your dedicated service Ally; all the best for your media career.

LegendofCoop 17,366 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Blame yourself McCoist!At 1-1 at home against Hearts, you should have been putting on Nicky Clark.....(remember him....a STRIKER), and going for a win. Yet you saw fit to shove a central defender out to right back to 'hold out' for a draw. How did that one work out for us?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
