PRW. 5,631 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Good luck Durrant. Exciting to see who Warburton and Mulholland come up with to replace him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammy cox 664 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Do we really care. There is no room for sentiment in the modern game.You need to get the best you can and I don't think that is Durrant.If he is away I assume his contract is up so the search for his replacement shall begin or perhaps mr warburton has his replacement already set up.

Sentiment perhaps? The guy is a much beloved Rangers icon; One of those (except Smith and McCoist because that's their pal) binning him would have harmed their relationship with the Gers support? The fact remains throughout the years there has been hardly any youth players coming through who have made a real stamp on the first team for a good number of seasons or sold on for a tarrier transfer fee. That's got to change. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,600 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I dont personally know if he was a good coach or not but a succession of Managers must have thought he was to keep him on, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one person on this thread actually knows for sure if he was good at his job or not, but here we all are with the 'about time' and 'good riddance' type comments. Based on what?

Tiger Shaw 30,463 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 He's Blue He's White he's fucking dynamite...... Will always remember his  performance in the 3-3 cup final against the sheep, he was top quality that day, and his goal celebration against the mhanks (I think)  when he ran straight past Davie Cooper who was waiting open arms to congratulate him What a team we had back then with Durrant , Cooper, McCoist, wee Fleck, Souness ect Good luck Ian and thanks for the memories, a Rangers legend in my eyes.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGOH 2,344 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Intrigued to see who MW brings in at youth level, but I think Ian Durrant will be still actively involved at the club, just not the coaching side of things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpm1979 199 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 If true, what about Ian Cathro as a replacement?

BallochBear 1,613 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 First saw him and Derek Fergus on playing in the Tennant Sixes in Ingleton a long time ago and he was a stand out even then. Â Great player and would've genuinely been World Class if that bustard Simpson hadn't crippled him. Good luck Durranty in whatever you do in the future. He's one of our own.

delamonty 992 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 On the "he was a great player -- natural ability but not a good coach line..." The great American basketball player Michael Jordan was either quoted or... spoken to someone ... that he used to look around the dressing room and think "Why can't they do what I do?" When you are gifted... it all seems so easy.  Maybe Ian was a bit like that? Anyway, best of luck to him.  True GER   Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxterboy 476 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Relative to Warburton's system this is one of the most important positions at the club, making only the very best acceptible for the job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Always remember that Durant was one of the most naturally gifted players I have seen in a Rangers jersey. Â Nothing Durrant did was taught it all just came naturally to him. Â PerhaPs he thought all youngsters were like that making him a poor coach? Â Pretty much covers my own thoughts on Durrant. Completely instinctual on the park, so how can he translate that for players with half his ability given most of what he done he did so without having to think? A bit of a conundrum.
