We’re not a big club any more, we’re only Rangers by name, big clubs don’t act like this, big clubs don’t lose to Queens Park then not sack their manager after it.
We are backing Philippe at this time as a board. It’s about taking a deeper look at the issues, addressing those problems, and staying focused on building a stronger future for the club. Changing a manager isn’t a silver bullet solution.
Earlier this year Darren O’Dea was handed the title of Professional Pathway Manager with the Murray deal looking like his first placement as Celtic seek ways of developing players from the Academy into the first team squad.

After being a regular in the Lowland League last season stepping up to play in the Championship is essential for McPherson’s game to kick on.
