IBROX legend John Brown insists Ally McCoist's departure won't rid Rangers of the 'cancer' that is in the club.

McCoist will meet the Light Blues board tomorrow after handing in his notice last week and could have taken charge of his last game as boss.

But nine-in-a-row hero Bomber reckons the problems run far deeper than the manager and his underperforming squad.

Brown said: "Ally has given fans so many happy memories over the seasons as a player and in the recent times where he has given them back-to-back promotions.

"He's had to put up with so much. He's had no support. The Easdales and others should hold their heads in shame.

"But I honestly couldn't care what the fans are thinking about performances. Their club has a cancer in it and it needs to get cut out.

"People need to wise up. Changing the manager is not going to change the situation. Until the Rangers fans realise that, their club is going to be in a sorry, sorry position."

A series of savage behind the scenes cuts have seen several members of staff leave the club in recent weeks.

And Brown has hit out at the board for sacking ordinary workers in a bid to save millions of pounds at Ibrox.

He said: "[Mike] Ashley has upped his shareholding in recent weeks and brought people in.

"But then we have seen people with a long service at Rangers, 40 years and more, being shown the door.

"All the players know who these folk are - they were part of the family. So when you see that happening so know that things are ultimately just going to end in tears again.

"It's soul-destroying. These folk who have left were not on big money but you have got so many people in the boardroom looking after their pals and handing out golden handshakes. It's disgusting."
