I watched the Progres Niederkorn game in the Temple Bar in Jersey on Tuesday night and it was full of Rangers fans.

There were two questions that were being asked after it. The first was whether it was the worst result in Rangers’ history? And the second was whether Pedro Caixinha would remain as manager? For me, the answer to both of them is yes.

Taking the first point, that was the worst game ever in my opinion. I can only go back to the sixties and I remember the Berwick Rangers defeat. That was unbelievable and it was a huge, huge shock at that time.

You can look at the Hamilton Accies game when they beat us in the Scottish Cup, that was a terrible day.

And I would even go back to just a couple of seasons ago when we were 2-0 up against Alloa but got beat in the Challenge Cup. That was a disgrace.

But this one, this is the worst for me. That a team from Luxembourg can beat Rangers and send them out of Europe is just unbelievable. I don’t think that will ever be beaten.

Last week, the Rangers fans were looking forward to having European football back at Ibrox and they came out in huge numbers to see their side against Progres.

Now, they are coming to terms with a shocking performance and a humiliating defeat. And so is the manager and his players.

It was a scandalous showing from Rangers and the fans that made the trip over there were quite right to have a go at the end of the game. They deserved better.

Jock Wallace used to say to us that there was no point coming to Rangers if you didn’t have fire in your belly. If you didn’t have that desire, then don’t even bother joining this club. I thought that was sadly lacking on Tuesday night.

It is only a couple of weeks since I wrote here about how Rangers fans could look forward to the new season with a bit of positivity after the new signings and the deal with Sports Direct.

But I also said that now the team needed to do it on the park. Here we are and everyone is getting stick and the fans are deflated and demoralised. From a total high, Rangers are on a low again.

The manager and the players have taken a lot of criticism, and rightly so. There are no excuses for what happened against Progres and they deserve all the stick they get.

But, what has happened is done and dusted and we have to move on. It is an easy thing to say, but you have to.

If the players didn’t know what to expect at Rangers when they signed, well they do know. Welcome to Glasgow and welcome to Ibrox.

Rangers have been in the doldrums for far too long and the fans want a side that will give their all, win matches and bring success back to the club. If you don’t, then you will get criticised from the supporters, and rightly so.

The fans will be bitterly, bitterly disappointed but the players have to get their heads up and get on with the job so that we can try and start the new Premiership campaign well.

Rangers don’t have any games lined up before they head to Fir Park next month and the manager will have to put a schedule in place to get the team up to speed.

It is no use playing behind closed doors. They need the games to be as competitive as possible and he needs to use these weeks to find his best starting line-up.

He will have Bruno Alves, Carlos Pena and Graham Dorrans in the team by then and three players can make a big difference to the side.

There have been a lot of questions about where the manager goes from here and I have seen some pundits saying that he will get the sack. That is absolute nonsense.

The board have put their head on the chopping block by giving him the job and they have given him money to bring nine players in this summer. There is no way he will be replaced before a ball is kicked.

Pedro will lead Rangers into the Premiership campaign and he has to get off to a good start leading up to the first game against Celtic in September.

The fans won’t forget what they saw against Progres and Pedro has a really tough job on his hands to get them back on side. But the board will give him a chance to do that.

He has to get more out of the team. We need to be tighter at the back, sharper in midfield and more creative and clinical up front.

Niko Kranjcar and Josh Windass should have scored on Tuesday night, but they didn’t. That is the bottom line and you can’t live on ifs, buts and maybes.

There are a lot of things to work on and now we will see what the manager and these players are made of. They have to put their hands up, accept responsibility for what happened against Progres and then prove that they can react in the right manner.

If anyone thought that coming to Scottish football was going to be a breeze, then they have already found out otherwise. Now they are in the middle of a storm.

They are at a club that needs success to get back to where they want to be. It is up to the manager and the players to deliver that success.
