"Five harrowing months on from when the group led by Andrew Cavenagh walked in the big door in the Bill Struth Stand, the feel-good has been has been banished amid interminable disappointment. It's been catastrophic so far. A new head coach, Russell Martin, has been and gone - smuggled away in the back of a car - after 123 days. The process of appointing his replacement garnered ridicule as candidates were in and out like a managerial Hokey Cokey,"
"Fans have been seen accosting board members in hotel lobbies and airports, while on the pitch the team languish 14 points off the Premiership summit as Europe continues to to be a traumatic experience. The latest torturous episode came courtesy of a Roma team who played most of their 2-0 Europa League victory at Ibrox in second gear. In truth, there was no real need to reach for a third against a Rangers team which was again complicit to stay anchored on zero points."
May 30 brought a US-based consortium promising to get Rangers back to the top, accompanied by Trumpesque Make Rangers Great Again merchandise. Five months later optimism has gone, replaced by mounting disappointment and protest. Russell Martin lasted 123 days before departing; the managerial appointment process became chaotic and ridiculed until Danny Rohl returned after earlier withdrawing.

Rohl has won two of five games and fans doubt January signings will be a cure.
