Rangers must do right by Graeme Souness over revulsive identity theft triggered by tifo embarrassment – Hugh Keevins

Dave King, now part of a regime that has come to an end at Rangers, admits he has “no idea” who the new owners from San Francisco might want to appoint as team manager.

Which is the way Andrew Cavenagh, the main player in the US takeover, would like to keep it for the former Ibrox chairman – and everybody else going forward, I suspect.

When Cavenagh and his cohorts were being given the VIP tour of Ibrox a couple of weeks ago, his body language was not that of a man who liked being told what to do.

And the interim manager, if he believes he is still under consideration for the job, would be better off attending to his own business first of all.

Beginning with the game against Aberdeen at Ibrox this weekend. Game 13 of his temporary reign. Four wins. None of them at home.

Cavenagh didn’t hang around long enough after his tour to take in the Old Firm derby, which might be just as well given the unsavoury nature of events surrounding the match.

And a banner taken away by police wearing evidence gloves to begin an investigation into its offensive content.

It was as if time had never moved on for me.

I half expected to go home and switch on a black-and-white telly and see
