Jury hears Rangers alarm bells ringing as fans told how worried they should REALLY be

The Saturday Jury covers two huge games for Scotland as well as the big questions at Rangers and Celtic

by · Daily Record

Give us your starting Scotland XI that you reckon can get a result in Croatia tonight

ANDY NEWPORT: There’s not much to work with due to injuries but I reckon this could offer the right blend and both ends of the pitch: Gordon, Ralston, Souttar, Porteous, Robertson, Gilmour, McLean, McTominay, Doak, Forrest, Adams

SCOTT BURNS: Gordon, Devlin, Souttar, Hanley, Porteous, Robertson, Gilmour, McTominay, Gauld, Adams, Dykes

FRASER WILSON: Maybe it’s blind but I have optimism about this one tonight: Gordon, Devlin, Souttar, Hanley, Robertson, Gilmour, McLean, McTominay, Doak, Christie, Adams

What’s your take on the broadcasting situation that means the game can only be shown on YouTube?

ANDY: It’s a shambles. The Tartan Army home guard were treated to Greece’s shock Wembley win against England in STV yet the broadcaster can’t sort a deal to show our own national team. We’ve been short changed again.

SCOTT: It is a poor show that BBC, STV or Sky haven't picked the game up. It is their loss but it could be a sign of things to come. It does annoy me that the England games are on Scottish television but our games aren't!

FRASER: It’s such a cheap look. Embarrassing. Two top tier games against good opposition and there’s no interest from our big broadcasters? A slap in the face for punters.

Paul Tisdale looks set to be installed at Celtic to head up football operations - a good move for the Hoops?

ANDY: Only time will tell but an overhaul of the recruitment set up is well overdue at Parkhead and will be needed if they are to make that next step in Europe.

SCOTT: The Paul Tisdale stuff is an old story. He has been working at Celtic for months and played a big part in their recruitment in the last window. So you would have to say he has made a decent start.

FRASER: Brendan Rodgers said numerous times over the summer that the recruitment department was needing upgraded. He clearly likes what he sees in Tisdale having worked with him for a few months now. The proof will be in the pudding though.

Creag Robertson is the latest to step down from a similar role at Rangers - how worried should fans be?

ANDY: No more worried than they were already. It’s another important role needing filled but it gives whoever takes over as CEO and chairman the opportunity to make their own picks. Getting those key jobs filled is the priority.

SCOTT: I don't think Rangers will be too worried about Creag Robertson stepping down. They have more important positions to fill, although I beleive they are down to their final shortlist for a new chief executive.

FRASER: Having no CEO, permanent chairman, head of academy or soon to be head of footballing operations is alarming to say the least. But on the other hand there’s a chance to upgrade every one of these positions now. Time is of the essence though.
