RANGERS caretaker manager Graeme Murty is focused on hatching a plan to break Dundee down despite the pain and anger of their home defeat to Hamilton.
Murty’s chances of landing the job on a longer-term basis suffered a blow when a 2-0 victory handed Accies their first maximum points from Ibrox since 1926.
But all the signs are that Murty will get at least one more game in charge when Rangers travel to Dens Park on Friday.
And the club’s development coach senses his players are determined to atone for Saturday’s disappointment when they face the Ladbrokes Premiership bottom club.
“There are some hurt and angry players in there, which is good and is how it should be,” he told the club’s official website.
“There are some hurt and angry staff too, but I think it is important personally we don’t get too high when we get a success and we don’t get too low when we get a tough one to take.
“We just need to maintain our personal standards of preparation and performance, and the players definitely had a good response this week.
“You don’t have to motivate people who know they want to put things right, and that’s the vibe I have had from the players.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
