Rangers have only had 18 managers in their history so I’m not sure getting rid of Michael Beale is right - Kenny Miller

In Rangers fans’ eyes Michael Beale is now scrambling to keep his job as manager. Whether the people who run the club feel the same way, is the question after yesterday’s defeat to Aberdeen.

His team have now lost three of their first seven Premiership games. Their two biggest rivals – Celtic and Aberdeen – have now both won at Ibrox. And that has left supporters convinced that Rangers won’t be winning the title this season. So the guys in the boardroom have to decide whether they’re going to show calmness now. Michael has always said that they’re aligned in where they’re going and how they will get there.

Does that still apply after yesterday? It’s absolutely right that Michael is under serious pressure now. That’s the job he signed up for. It comes with the territory. But do they get rid of him now? I’m not so sure. And this isn’t me protecting the manager, far from it. Rangers have only had 18 managers in their history.

Yet in the last eight years, they’ve had FIVE. Do they really want to make that six? We’re probably close to that situation now. But I don’t believe sacking the manager is always the right answer. My question to the people saying he’s rubbish and needs to go is ‘Who comes in next?’

Because they’ll have to work with a group of players who have been signed but, at the moment, don’t look good enough. So for those saying he has to go, I’d say be careful.

The other option is to give him more time to work with the players HE has signed. I’m not saying it will get better. But I don’t believe in constantly sacking managers. I know the buck always stops with him. That’s the game we’re in. But at what point do players have to take some responsibility?

I watched them yesterday after going behind to Dons. They
