Official Rangers partner responds to Steven Davis hiring at Ibrox
Four Lads Had a Dream, an official club partner, posted on social media their response to the news that Steven Davis will serve as Rangers’ interim manager.
According to the official Rangers website, the club announced the choice on Sunday (1 October), one day after Michael Beale was fired following Saturday’s disastrous 3-1 loss to Aberdeen.
Along with Alex Rae, Steven Smith, Brian Gilmour, and Colin Stewart, the seasoned Ibrox midfielder will serve as the Scottish team’s interim captain.
Four Lads tweeted their response to Davis’ hiring on Monday afternoon, 2 October, when Rangers’ official Twitter account broadcast his first interview as manager.
The Gers’ heartbreaking 3-1 loss to Aberdeen just before the decision to sever company with Beale made the choice to do so seem inevitable.
Such outcomes are unacceptable, especially in light of how it was at Ibrox and how the Dons have been doing this year.
Even though Beale had a four-game winning streak before to this weekend’s outcome, Beale’s job was eventually lost since neither the board nor the fans were ever convinced.
Rangers has some important games ahead, both at home and in Europe, but hiring a current player with no prior management experience at this level is unexpected and might be very expensive.
Due to the pressures at Ibrox to contend for the title, Celtic are currently seven points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership, and Davis’ lack of experience and pedigree might cause Brendan Rodgers’ team to run away with it. This puts their next appointment in a horrible situation.
AZ Alkmaar’s Pascal Jansen and Kevin Muscat have been mentioned as promising candidates, but the club has already declared that they would need some time to make their choice because the international break is quickly coming.
Few Rangers supporters will be optimistic about their choice to hire Davis for the time being given how bad things now seem at Ibrox, but Four Lads are correct in saying that the players must now step up if results and performances are to improve.
