You can hardly blame Ross Wilson for heading down the A1 to England and a new job at Nottingham Forest. And his departure for the City Ground is going to be a massive loss for the Ibrox giants.
Most people within the club appreciate the job he did but it’s fair to say that love is not exactly universal within elements of the support.
Wilson and the board took it in the neck for the recruitment since Rangers won the title under Steven Gerrard. Celtic’s domination when it comes to the title has been the main source of anger and we all saw the banner which read: ‘Ross Wilson, director of failure.’ But that was just a knee-jerk reaction and completely wrong.
Wilson wasn’t helped because Rangers overspent on stopping Celtic’s 10-in-a-row bid. It did the job but it came at a cost. Rangers have had to repay the money they spent and Celtic, with cash in the bank from their domestic dominance and big-money sales, spent at a whole different level.
