We now need to clear out Aarons, Aasgaard, Antman, Chermiti, Djiga, Fernandez, Meghoma and Rothwell whom they&#8217;ve lumbered us with, and that&#8217;s just for a start.

This is basically now a damage limitation exercise. Sadly the &#8216;legacy&#8217; of that trios disastrous spell in charge, however brief, will impact on us for some time to come.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">Russell Black, Banchory, said: &#8220;Kevin Thelwell has a hell of a lot to answer for! I have to say they played some better football in the first half but in the second half it looked like Rangers were a man down. How can so called professional players be so utterly incompetent? They should have added to the goal instead of that they gift one to the opposition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">&#8220;How on earth is <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/all-about\/danny-rohl\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Danny Rohl<\/a> supposed to do anything with that bunch of dunderheeds, can\u2019t understand how Thelwell Junior is still there, that beggars belief!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">Phillip Borland said: &#8220;So Danny Rohl praises the team saying they have took a step forward. I don;t know what team he is talking about because our team is terrible. We have strikers who can&#8217;t score, we paid \u00a38million for Chermiti who has scored once for us, he is never a striker in his life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">&#8220;We need to get rid of at least eight players from the team and start over again but we are going to be left with the rubbish we have got because no other team will take them. Rangers will win nothing for years and years the full team is garbage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/0_CUEPictureRelation1600x1066.png\" alt=\"\"  \/>Hotline Live: Tune in and have your say<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">In case you haven&#8217;t heard, we&#8217;ve launched a new <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/sport\/football\/football-news\/watch-record-sport-hotline-live-33585614\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Hotline Live<\/a> show, airing at 6pm every day, with the exception of Fridays and Saturdays.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Join our panel for a laugh, a moan and a look at all things Scottish football, as well as having your say on the biggest issues in the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\"><a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@scottishdailyrecord?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Subscribe to our YouTube channel<\/a> so you never miss a single episode.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Alternatively, you can watch on <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DailyRecordSport\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> or <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Record_Sport\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow\">Twitter.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Need to get something off your chest?

No pressure then, Danny&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">An Jack Armstrong, Bathgate, said: &#8220;Struggled and were very lucky against Livingston. Struggled and were very lucky against Braga. If baby Raskin hadn&#8217;t hit the deck like a sack of tatties it might have been a different story. Yeah, Danny boy, as you say your team is on the rise&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">Jimmy Mac, Glasgow, is fearing the worst as Celtic begin to show some form at last. He wrote in: &#8220;It must be said and not pretended otherwise, Celtic appear now to be knitting together with a vein of form going by their win against Feyenoord while at Rangers we have the worse team that I can ever remember seeing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">&#8220;Under Thelwell, Stewart and Martin Rangers have become a non entity. A pathetic excuse for a Scottish Premiership football team, not one player the three amigos above brought into Rangers are or ever will be good enough to wear Rangers FC badge and they all know it, every single one of them has to be offloaded asap (easier said than done).<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">&#8220;Any new players coming in must now be quality players and Cavenagh knows he cannot fail Rangers again. He must do due diligence and steer clear of all lower English league clubs as those lower league players are there for a reason. Amateur players at best.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">And it wouldn&#8217;t be a Hotline without some ref chat, would it? Scott Gowers, Edinburgh, said: &#8220;I bet Willie Collum thought life would be easier for him as head of referee&#8217;s but think again Mr Collum. With Nick Walsh officiating in another match involving one of the Old Firm this weekend, my prediction is that major apologies will be made in the direction of Hibs \u2013 but may I remind people that these apologies don&#8217;t change the results?&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robbie Copeland takes your calls as the Hotline opens fire on Rangers after their most recent Europa League&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":314733,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,13881,102552,65488,140208,9323,9326,9328,561,82,9327],"class_list":["post-314732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celtic-fc","tag-danny-rohl","tag-kevin-thelwell","tag-patrick-stewart","tag-rangers-fc","tag-rangers-fc-transfer-news","tag-scottish-premiership","tag-soccer","tag-sports","tag-transfer-talk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314732","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=314732"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314732\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/314733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=314732"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=314732"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=314732"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
