00:00Shannon, how are you feeling today with the news that the manager's gone?
00:14Does this not explain it all? Everyone's over at Milneborough. It's been a long time coming, that's for sure.
00:20I was in Oswald, the Rangers pub in the town, and when we heard, everybody in the pub was ecstatic.
00:26A bit of relief, to be honest. He just didn't have the support, he lost the support.
00:35Every game was the same, so it was only a matter of time, and I'm actually glad the hierarchy of now taking the decision.
00:44He lost it early on, he had a couple of good results in the Champions League to begin with, but then it's just been the same downhill.
00:52We shouldn't be celebrating the last winner at Livingston. When he came in, he wouldn't have been my preference.
01:01I was willing to give him the chance, but he's seen how it was going. Just no, no a Rangers manager.
01:09No, I wasn't really positive, because I don't think many Rangers fans were, because I don't think he was the preferred choice.
01:16I think he lost the players as well, to be honest. I think he was asking them to do things which they weren't comfortable with, and I think you could see that.
01:24To be honest, there's a lot of good players at Rangers, a lot of good young boys there, and I think they need a change in direction, change of management, change of coaching, and you might see a lot better from them.
01:36I'm quite glad now it's over, and we can now look forward and get someone else in. Who it's going to be, I've got no idea, because it's a tall order.
01:45Who do you want to be the next Rangers manager?
01:48Ferguson, but I would also take Southgate, Gerrard maybe. I mean, anybody's got to take us forward.
01:55I would happily take anybody, but Russell Martin, simple as that.
01:59Do you have anybody in mind though?
02:01I'd happily have Gerrard back, I'd love to have Gerrard back.
02:05You could say Stevie Gerrard, but I see the answer, or do we need to find somebody who actually knows what the club is about?
02:13What's your hopes for the rest of the season?
02:16No get relegated, go around in the Europa League, hopefully get back up to second or first.
02:23Celtic aren't too great, do you know what I mean? So it's doable, but I think the ball took a wee bit too long in sacking them.
02:31Start winning games, as simple as that, win some games, come up the table a bit, as simple as that.
02:37Where do you see yourself at the end of the season?
02:39As long as we're not bottom, and we're still at Europa League, we're fine.
02:44We've got to consolidate now and try and get up the league a bit. The league's over, I think.
02:50You never say never, but I think the league's over, so we've got to look at trying winning the two Cups.
02:56Concentrate and getting up the league and getting a settled side, start playing some decent football.
03:03What do you feel about Hearts' chances of winning the league?
03:06At the moment, I would say they're in me a shout, if they're still there or thereabouts, or still in front by the turn of the year.
03:15Because I watched the highlights last night, Celtic are no great shape like, no.
03:21They're by no means the same team as they were last year.
03:25Do you know what, man? I wouldn't put anything past Hearts now because we are rubbish, Celtic are rubbish, and Hearts seem to be flying.
03:32If you had a message from the board at the minute, what would it be?
03:34Get some, then it's going to win. Games, titles, and Cups. That's it.
03:40That's it.
