Rudderless Rangers 'devastate' Ally McCoist as 'heartbroken' legend lashes board

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Ally McCoist insists there is a lack of leadership at Ibrox as he aimed a thinly-veiled swipe at former chief executive James Bisgrove and said the gaps in the stands of their temporary Hampden home is “not where Rangers should be”.The Light Blues strike legend claims there are a multitude of issues that need addressed at the club urgently.

St Mirren vice chairman Jim Gillespie is the man Rangers reportedly want to replace Bisgrove, who left for a megabucks deal in the Saudi Pro League.McCoist admitted he has sympathy for Philippe Clement given the current situation at Rangers with both finances being tight and restricting his transfer activity on top of being forced to play away from Ibrox, adding that the cash from the Champions League would have been a huge boost but that they couldn’t have coped on the park against elite level opposition on the biggest stage.McCoist had been due to appear on talkSPORT the morning after their qualifying defeat to Dynamo Kyiv last week but was a no-show and said: “It wasn’t because I didn’t want to talk about the game but it was because of other ongoing circumstances which I won’t be telling you!

The fact of the matter is Rangers aren’t a Champions League team at this moment in time.“It is worth mentioning we saw one of the worst refereeing decisions in years which did have an influence on a game of such importance.

That aside, Rangers are short at this moment in time. There’s no way Rangers could handle the Champions League.”Breakfast show sidekick Jeff Stelling then said: “The problem is that financially they desperately needed the Champions League for financial reasons.”And McCoist continued: “I’m genuinely devastated at what’s going on at my club.
