- Rangers chairman Andrew Cavanagh and CEO Jim Gillespie embraced Rangers fans in the away end at Falkirk.
- Former vice-chair Paraag Marathe joined them to press the flesh with supporters at half-time
- They will likely have felt the anger, disappointment and frustration from the punters after a dismal season.
Rangers chairman Andrew Cavenagh and CEO Jim Gillespie made the walk from the main stand to the away section at the Falkirk Stadium to face up to the Rangers supporters.
They didn’t have to, but in a time of adversity, it was the right thing to do, to acknowledge and listen to the fans.
From the title race capitulation to the James Tavernier debacle, the fans will have been full of emotion and anger to vent at the club officials. Rightly so.
Even on a day like today, with nothing at stake.
Andrew Cavenagh in dialogue with supporters
On the pitch, we learned nothing new about Danny Rohl and this Rangers team today.
The 5-2 scoreline produced key takeaways from the Falkirk vs Rangers encounter, with the talking points emanating from certain players.
Youssef Chermiti continues to display his talent, while Jack Butland indicated the need for a new keeper between the sticks next season.
The current climate at Ibrox means an intervention is required, and the half-time walk from Cavenagh, Gillespie and Marathe could be the start of it.
We need leadership and direction from the top, with clarity on Rohl’s situation required.
If that does not follow in the coming days, the vacuum will continue to be filled with more noise and frustration.
If Danny Rohl is being backed, tell the supporters.
Silence or delay will give space to further speculation.

Andrew Cavenagh can’t be accused of not listening to, or connecting with the supporters.
His approach has been welcome, but questions are being asked after a nightmare first season under the US-led regime.
One disastrous managerial appointment followed by a questionable one removes the margin for error for next season.
The same is true of the manager.
Cavenagh needs to get it right, and the work should be underway already.
