OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34788728I always liked McCall and am grateful that he tried, and nearly succeeded, to salvage Ally's car crash.Good to see Lambert saying no to title stripping shenanigans, to be fair to him.

Clemdog 39,389 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Enjoyed that. McCall is a fantastic bloke, wish him well in his Managerial career. As much as his time in charge of the Club didn't end in the 'right' manner. I'm still glad he has the opportunity to say he managed Rangers.

As much as his time in charge of the Club didn't end in the 'right' manner. I'm still glad he has the opportunity to say he managed Rangers. I'm not sure if he's regarded as a Rangers manager. Was he not employed as an interim, basically a stop gap to the end of the season. I don't think he had a proper contract, or we'd still be paying him no doubt. I did like SMc as well. In fact I was in favour of him getting the job. I'm glad he didn't as Mark and Davie have done a fantastic job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDowell is the same as Durrant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlBear. 8,499 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Why?It was quite clearly a caretaker role till the end of the season. I get the feeling it was a sentimental gesture to McCall to just say, 'Aye you're the Rangers manager...for 3 months'.I don't agree with it, but I won't argue against it.

I'm not sure how you can argue that. No matter how long his contract. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how long his contract. We've had a few caretakers through history too. Should we count them? How many games is it before a caretaker becomes the full manager? Should McDowall have been 14th and McCall 15th?But like I said mate I don't want to argue over it. McCall was the 14th manager of Rangers. My feelings don't change that.

OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 He was probably the best sliding tackler I've seen. The number of players that thought they were in the clear, just for Stu to nip and take the ball. It's a skill I really appreciated. Wasn't half bad at it myself, he said shamelessly.

KirkBroadband 203 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Stuart McCall has nothing to be ashamed of, he took over a train wreck......In that champions leauge campaign where we almost went all the way in my time i have never ever seen a midfielder give his all and won almost every tackle he went in for more than Stuart McCall did..... He was simply outstanding and will always be a hero in my eyes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CF2 WINNIE 1,006 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 In another situation who knows how McCall would have got on as Rangers manager. Have to say how well he did to get us so close to promotion with the mess that he took over was just 2 games too many for him. You have to always be thankful for his efforts a true Rangers legend Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Devil 350 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 We've had a few caretakers through history too. Should we count them? How many games is it before a caretaker becomes the full manager?10 games, according to bookies. That is when they pay out on a "permanent manager" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NixonRFC 1,476 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Think you have just outted yourself.I think the guy is asking if Lambert is a bear, I think he grew up one but having played and captained them he'll likely sit in thier side on the fence now but if so it'll probably mean he'll be quite fair in his thinking...ala no to title stripping.

My feelings don't change that.Interesting post.I think caretaker managers, including Durrant, should be acknowledged as managers of Rangers.Regardless of how long or for how many matches it is part of our history which we cherish so muchMuch the same as trialists and loan players count appearances in their career stats.I think McCall would still have the job if he had got us promoted last season.
