@BigBearF1 Is it HMS Belfast berthed in London? 🇬🇧

[John Hutton @JohnHutton68]

@BMCRangersRants Compare that to McGregor-Goldson-Davis-Morelos and it's not even close!

@BMCRangersRants On field leadership is what we lack & cost us in 2nd half yesterday - & on numerous occasions this season. Spine of last championship winning squad had it, especially GK, CH & CM with enough Rangers men, i.e. those that roll the sleeves up and dig in when the going gets tough.

@ibroxrocks Just said exactly the same thing, the naivety goes on and on, and none of them seem to be learning.

@RickiNeill It's because he doesn't Ricki. He is a serial failure who gets one pay-off after another, and we are the people paying the price! He isn't 'invested' in this to a fraction of the level that you, I and every other Rangers supporter is. The latest in a catalogue of costly mistakes!

Rangers fans have been patient, if there is even a glimmer of evidence to show progress, but there are limits even to endurance. Let’s get one thing straight:

Patrick Stewart and Kevin Thelwell have spectacularly misread Scotland, Rangers, and the very fans who keep this club alive.

Stewart, parachuted in from a floundering Manchester United, brings pedigree on paper but catastrophe in practice.

Thelwell, ex-Everton, has installed a network of familiar faces, cronies, and even relatives — Dan Purdy, Nathan Fisher, Robbie Thelwell — as if comfort hiring could replace competence. It hasn’t. Scotland isn’t a Premier League sandbox. Rangers isn’t Everton.

Russell Martin has overseen five wins in 16 matches. The defence is a sieve. Clean sheets are rarer than logic in a board meeting. Europa League humiliations pile up. And yet, the board clings to its project as if shielding Martin protects them from scrutiny. Fans are told to be patient, to “trust the plan.” The plan is failing. It has never been clearer.

The rebuild itself is a disaster. Style has replaced substance. Rangers fans do not care about possession stats or philosophical ideas. They care about points, trophies, and pride. Any board that insists otherwise is dangerously out of touch. Worse, recruitment has been equally tone-deaf. Players imported from overpriced English markets, like Youssef Chermiti, leave a lot to be desired. Meanwhile, low-cost success stories — see Alfredo Morelos or Igamine — demonstrate what intelligent scouting can achieve. Yet the board persists, guided by familiarity and ego rather than evidence.

Fans confronted Stewart and Thelwell at the team hotel after the Sturm Graz defeat. This was not hysteria; it was desperation. We pay the bills, we sustain the brand, and we can see the collapse unfolding. Yet the board continues to dismiss us as “overly emotional.” No. We are historically informed, forensic in our anger, and entirely justified. It shows how out of depth they are when they ask the fans who they would have appointed.

The truth is stark: the project is collapsing in real time. The team is worse than under previous managers who had far less money and fewer resources. The board’s unwillingness to acknowledge it is not strategy; it is ego preservation. Time for excuses is over.

Immediate action is required: accountability at the top, transparent recruitment, smarter scouting, and above all, results. This means replacement the full management team, director of football and Stewart.

Fans will tolerate no more experiments, no more “foundations” that exist only in rhetoric. Rangers is not a laboratory. It is a pillar of Scottish football. Arrogance, ego, and blind faith have brought it to a precipice. Heed the warning, act decisively, or watch the club unravel while the world looks on.
