00:00Rangers have a new manager, Danny Rose in the door.

00:03Manager at the last, I should say.

00:06Lewis, I guess, before we get into anything, is it a good appointment?

00:13I think it's another risky one, Martin, I do.

00:16I think given his lack of managerial experience, that might be a slight cause for concern.

00:22Obviously, a hugely highly rated coach, given he's held assistant manager roles

00:28at some top clubs, Southampton, Bayern Munich, the German national team,

00:33prior to going into his first managerial position at Sheffield Wednesday,

00:36where he did really well, given the scenario.

00:40The people we've had a chance to speak to, it sounds like he's going to bring

00:44an exciting brand of football to play a lot of high-press, counter-press football.

00:53Again, the question remains, though, will the current group of players

00:57be good enough to carry it out?

00:58They weren't under Russell Martin, who obviously tried a kind of radical approach

01:02that simply seemed destined to fail from the outset,

01:06given that they went after Steven Gerrard and Kevin Muscat,

01:10and were left with an egg on their face.

01:14He's almost under huge scrutiny from the outset.

01:18He knows the demands that he's going into a club of, you know,

01:23the expectation levels are through the roof.

01:26It's simply not good enough that they're not competing with Celtic at this moment in time.

01:30But first things first, you need to drag them away from the bottom half of the table

01:34and try and get them back into the mix at the top end.

01:38You've been doing this job for over 20 years.

01:41You've seen a lot of ownerships in Scottish football,

01:44from Vladimir Romanov at Arts to several at Rangers.

01:49What are your initial early thoughts on this current ownership

01:52and sort of leadership structure that's in place?

01:56Yeah, it's certainly, they haven't covered themselves in glory

01:59in the first few months, you have to be honest.

02:01And I think that's probably where the fans' anger has certainly magnified,

02:08because, or been magnified should I say it,

02:11because they expected a lot more from this group

02:14and the way the direction they take Rangers in

02:16and it hasn't materialised yet.

02:17And there haven't been particularly great signs

02:19that things behind the scenes are going to materialise

02:22and take them in the direction they want to go.

02:24So, yeah, they have a lot of making up to do, I think.

02:29Russell Martin, the Russell Martin appointment

02:30clearly set them back quite a bit.

02:33And I feel sorry for Danny Roller a little bit

02:34because it's not his fault that he's been in this situation.

02:37But, again, he has taken the job

02:39and he must have an idea of what he's signed up for.

02:41So, yeah, the owners have got to,

02:44this has to be a success for them,

02:46otherwise the Rangers fans are going to be

02:47turning against the owners,

02:49never mind some of the people in the club hierarchy.
