Rangers fans continue to voice their anger at the results at Ibrox

The fans have continued to be vocal about their frustrations at Ibrox, as their dreadful season continues, and this was no different against Dundee United.

At full-time, when going over to clap the fans, Tavernier was spotted in dialogue with the Union Bears.

PLZ Soccer on 18 October, caught the incident on video, with the captain eventually walking away in dismay.

In the first-half, Rangers looked like more of their former selves, and should have been 3-0 up at half-time.

Yet, as soon as Dundee United scored, you could see the hope and the belief in the players dwindle as they went from dominating to chasing a game they should easily win.

If Kevin Muscat does become the new Rangers manager, he has a massive job on his hands to fix this mess.

Champions League qualification has to be the goal, with the title now surely out of sight.

It will no doubt be a big ask, but if Muscat can provide consistency and confidence to these players, it is doable.

After Russell Martin was sacked, Steven Gerrard was moments away from the Ibrox job, only to back out at the final moment after talks in London.

With Muscat moving into pole position, the 49ers and Andrew Cavenagh need a plan in place while they wait for the Australian to become fully available.
