mostly lower divisionsSuper ally not that bad
We had only had 11 permanent managers in our history by the year 2000. Absolutely crazy stat that used to amaze me as a child reading the Rangers history book I had.A stat I find really interesting is that out of the 18 permanent managers and the 19 names on the list, 12 of them have been appointed in my lifetime, and I was born in 1982.
There are only 4 who have managed before I was born. I think I have seen more temporary managers since then.A stat I find really interesting is that out of the 18 permanent managers and the 19 names on the list, 12 of them have been appointed in my lifetime, and I was born in 1982.
I remember being at Fir Park for PLGs first game. Was a huge buzz around the team and the manager, even met Michael Mols in the stand with his son. How it all went dreadfully wrong from there eh
I was there too.I remember going up to Aberdeen for big Jock's return.
Must have been one of the last football specials - complete with weeds growing out the window frames!
No ticket but cops let us in one by one at half time as others left.
Great camaraderie on the train and in the ground despite the result.
When Greig replaced Wallace in 1978 (the first managerial regeneration I remember) he became only the 7th manager in our history!We had only had 11 permanent managers in our history by the year 2000. Absolutely crazy stat that used to amaze me as a child reading the Rangers history book I had.

What a couple of weeks that was.Sandy Robertson winner in Walters first game in 1991. Then we beat Dundee Utd midweek, got gubbed 3-0 at Motherwell to set up that famous win over Aberdeen to retain the title. Some injury list we had going into that game.

He walked up to the beach end and punched the air a couple of times, he didn’t conductI was there too.
Big Jock came out and started to conduct the Rangers end. Bears went mental !.
I remember a bear wandering out to the centre spot before kick off and placing his scarf around it before being whisked away by the plods. I think we were two down after only nine minutes.I remember going up to Aberdeen for big Jock's return.

There wasn't one. Teams were picked by a club committee back in the early days of football.Who was our manager before 1899? There’s 27 years missing
I'm sure Don MacKay was caretaker as well just before Souness arrived for a couple of weeks after Totten. Might be wrong though.
God if we keep this up we will have more temporary managers than permanent ones.Tommy MacLean
Super's win rate is comparing apples and oranges since we were skudding about the lower leagues.
