AlCapone 7,678 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 popcorn at the ready.....http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/spfl-lower-divisions/lee-mcculloch-in-frame-for-rangers-coaching-role-1-3821439LEE McCulloch could be in line for a return to Rangers just weeks after he was freed by the Ibrox side.McCulloch, 37, is being considered for a coaching role back at the club he has served as a player for the last eight seasons.The veteran was wanted by Kilmarnock, with manager Gary Locke keen to add him to his coaching staff. But McCulloch rejected the offer and is now understood to be very much in the thoughts of Rangers new management team of Mark Warburton and David Weir, the latter a former team-mate.Rangers recruited a new player yesterday, with goalkeeper Wes Foderingham joining the Championship club then claiming he had been lured north by the prospect of playing Champions League football.The 6ft 1in keeper has left Swindon Town to sign a three-year contract with the option of another season.The 24-year-old revealed Warburton, who is continuing his attempts to sign John Eustace, had sold him on a move to Ibrox with his ambition. He just said hes got a three-year plan, Foderingham said. Get out of the Championship, challenge in the SPL and obviously get into the Champions League.That suits me down to the ground. Its a fantastic opportunity to get into Europe and hopefully we can get there within three years.The long-term vision is what made me choose Rangers. This is a massive club the most successful in the world trophies-wise, and I just wanted to come to be a part of that.We want to get back to the Premiership and challenge, and there is European football beyond that too. If I joined a Championship side, I wouldnt get that opportunity.Foderingham shares an experience with several former Rangers players having a bust-up with former Celtic forward Paolo Di Canio.The then 20-year-old kicked a water bottle in disgust after his boss Di Canio substituted him after 20 minutes of a match at Preston when Swindon were two goals down.Di Canio later labelled him arrogant and unprofessional but the goalkeeper focused on the positive memories of his relationship with the Italian.Hes a good man to be fair, Foderingham said. He knows his football, hes a good coach and Im sure everyone knows about his other side. Hes a fiery character and makes for good entertainment for you guys. We had a good relationship.Im sure a lot of people say things in the heat of the moment after games. Its sort of a unique situation.Tempers got the better of Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTID 1968 89 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I've just woke up from a nightmare n checked news now n seen it n thought I was still having one. I hope its a load of shite, and the patterns of coaching rookie ex players and McCulloch taking money from our club are over. I'd be dissapointed if it is true, Jig could perfect the CBs elbowing technique when going for headers tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue05 18 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 McCulloch the defender: Stuff of nightmares.McCulloch the midfielder: Possibly even worse.McCulloch the striker: Actually scored some surprisingly memorable goals.McCulloch the coach: Not able to judge.Some of the best coaches who were previously players weren't the best on the pitch (and vice versa with recent head coaches in mind). If Weir has seen his coaching side and believes he has a talent, same as Gary Locke must have, then I'll trust his judgement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

strikemaster 21 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I really have no problem with this, as long as he's a good enough coach then what is the problem?let him go to the lower divisions and come up through experience, is he even qualified? I thought the "jobs for the boys" era was now gone, there must be good coaches out there well qualified for the position. but then again maybe it was in his contract.

Lodgiebear 107 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 This would be a very disappointing move for MW to make. McCulloch's time at Rangers is over. He needs to stop hanging around like Banquo's ghost and get on with the rest of his career. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
