THERE aren't many things Rangers fans agree on these days.

They are a group currently in limbo as their club continues to ponder what is one of the biggest decisions concerning the Glasgow outfit over recent times, which is saying something.

Quarrels on messageboards and debates in stadiums have gone way beyond who is simply the next man to take over as Rangers manager from Mark Warburton. Sadly for those who frequent the Govan ground, the current mess runs far deeper than one man.

Instead, punters have been at odds with each other over whether or not their team need a director of football - and if so who it should be - not to mention squabbles about what players are currently pulling their weight. It's not an exhaustive list.

On the back of two straight defeats, these conversations so no sign of fading away.

Yet, amid the confusion and continued uncertainty, one thing is pretty much universal - sympathy for Graeme Murty.

The youth coach has been dropped into the spotlight in the wake of Warburton's departure earlier this month as he takes up temporary charge of first-team matters, and after just over two weeks in the hot seat the immensity of the role has not been lost on him.

Three games at the helm have brought one win and two defeats, the most recent coming in a late 2-1 loss up in Inverness on Friday night.

It has proven to be a stressful time for the 42-year-old who has been left to try and pull together a squad left by Warburton low on confidence and form. Despite that, he is continuing to keep faith in himself and the plan ahead as he plots his fourth game in charge tomorrow night as St Johnstone come to Ibrox.

“I’ve been feeling sorry for myself as well! It’s very nice to have a bit of support," said Murty. "I’ve had loads of nice messages after the game on Friday night, saying that you deserved to win the game.

"I'm enjoying the fact I get to work with a fantastic group of players and a brilliant group of staff. The development I will get from this - and I have no doubt that will be vast - will come when I reflect upon this in calmer moments. I'm spending a lot of time looking back at stuff we need to tweak, so I'm not looking at myself at this moment.

"I've taken a couple of days to reflect and get things out of my system. My wife and daughter are particularly pleased I've brought my work home with me for the weekend! But it's not about me. No matter how I feel. It's about making the players get what they want on Monday."

First impressions are everything and in this instance it is clear to see why the Rangers players have thrown themselves behind Murty.

There are no airs and graces about the former Reading defender who, unlike his predecessor, doesn't talk in baffling football terms and coaching conundrums.

Instead, Murty is honest about how he is settling into the job after two weeks.

“The best advice I have received is to believe in myself and to trust in what we are doing," he said.

“Do I believe in myself? That’s taken a bit of a knock. Do I trust in what we are doing as a football club? Absolutely. I trust in the processes that are being put in place. I trust in what is going on and that what we are doing in the long term will pay off.

“I am more comfortable in dealing with the players than I was but, and will reiterate, this is something which is new and this is a vast football club. For someone of my standing to grow comfortable with that would be presumptuous.

“I know my role, I’m comfortable with the role I have at the moment, the role is all for me. Everything else is extraneous to that. I don’t pay much attention to it.

“Am I comfortable delivering my stuff? Yes. Am I comfortable interacting with the players? Yes. That hasn’t changed. I don’t think I’ve grown more comfortable, I think it’s just easier for me to relate to the players.”

Turning his attention back to matters on the pitch, Murty has sought to take the positives out of Friday night's loss, a game that, despite a few defensive calamities, also saw the visitors create several clear chances and a dominant first-half spell.

“I even sat in the office with Richie [Foran] afterwards and he said, ‘Oh my God, for the first 25 minutes we couldn’t get close to you, you were great,’" said Murty.

“I wish you had just been in the debrief. It was broken down into three parts.

“The first part was how we started the game. The intensity we played at, the amount of regains we got and the amount of chances we made.

“The middle part was a period of the game when we lost control of that.

“And the last bit was just showing them the chances that they had to go and win the game. The bit in the middle is about education. It’s about showing them things that we need to do better as a group and as individuals. It’s about being forthright in saying, ‘We need to do this better,’.

“But the last bit is, look fellas, loads of people are saying bad things about us but look at the amount of chances we made and the clear opportunities we created. On another day we’d have scored three, four, five goals.

“If we had scored the first one I think we would have gone on to win the game.”
