Ally McCoist Says Rangers Are Struggling
- Ally McCoist, a legend at Rangers, expresses devastation over the club's current state.
- The Ibrox side is struggling both on and off the pitch, according to McCoist.
- The record goalscorer's comments highlight the deep concern about the situation at the Glasgow club.
Former Rangers manager and striker Ally McCoist has voiced his deep concern regarding the current state of the club, both on and off the pitch. McCoist expressed that he is "genuinely devastated" by the challenges facing the team, particularly under the management of Philippe Clement. The club's recent performance has raised doubts about their ability to compete for the league title, which McCoist believes is already slipping out of reach. Rangers' troubles were highlighted by their recent defeat to Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League qualifying rounds, which relegated them to the Europa League group stage. This setback has not only impacted their European ambitions but has also exacerbated their financial struggles, leaving them trailing behind their rivals, Celtic, in the league standings. Currently, Rangers find themselves two points adrift of the champions in the William Hill Premiership. Despite reaching the quarter-finals of the Premier Sports Cup after a victory over St Johnstone, the match at a half-empty Hampden Stadium served as a stark reminder of the club's ongoing issues. The lack of fan engagement and support reflects the broader concerns surrounding the team's performance and management. Looking ahead, Rangers are set to face Dundee in the last eight of the Premier Sports Cup next month. However, the mounting pressure and expectations on the club continue to grow as they seek to address their challenges and regain their competitive edge in Scottish football.
