not that I'm too disappointed considering how he's ran the club since the Summer but I've got a bad feeling Rangers are wandering into the kind of situation celtic found themselves in in the late 90s going through a manager every season or so :-S

Paul Le Guen has resigned as manager of Rangers.

The Frenchman took charge in the summer but has presided over a disappointed season so far, with Rangers 17 points behind leaders Celtic in the Bank of Scotland Premier League.

Le Guen has left by mutual agreement, with executive chairman Sir David Murray saying: "Having met with Paul it was clear that in the interests of the club and all concerned we agreed jointly to him stepping down as manager."

Le Guen stripped the popular Barry Ferguson of the captaincy on Monday, and dropped him from the squad for the next day's match at Motherwell in the Bank of Scotland Premier League.

He claimed Ferguson had attempted to exert undue influence on the Rangers squad, and argued that the 28-year-old was undermining his authority.

It appeared that one of the two men would have to leave, and Le Guen's departure makes him the shortest serving Rangers manager in the club's history,. having served just seven months.



earlier this week he stripped barry ferguson (undoubtedly one of our best players this season) of his captaincy and sai dhe'd never play again under him for "undermining" his position as manager. most of the players especially the Scots rallied round Ferguson and it was really a case of ferguson or him going during the transfer window.

Hopefully we can get someone in quick. even though he's doing really well with Scotland, I'd love Rangers to try and bring back Walter Smith. Sky sports news says ian durrant is temporarilly in charge.
