Andy Robertson

Charlie Miller, a former Rangers star, believes the club is failing to meet the high standards expected by Ibrox supporters. Reflecting on his own playing days, Miller recalls a Rangers team filled with international talent, but insists it was the core of Scottish players that truly defined the success of the 90s squad. He argues that today’s team, under Philippe Clement, lacks that vital local connection, with only two Scots in the lineup during a recent match against Motherwell. Miller believes the club has missed opportunities by not signing top Scottish talent, like Lewis Ferguson and Andy Robertson, which has contributed to their struggles.

Despite reaching the Premier Sports Cup Final, Miller sees the team’s broader performance as deeply concerning. Rangers sit nine points behind rivals Celtic and Aberdeen, and off-field financial issues have only compounded their troubles. Miller criticizes Clement’s tactics, particularly his decision to substitute one striker for another when the team needed a winning goal. He questions whether the current squad, particularly Cyriel Dessers, can lead Rangers to success. For Miller, the priority should be winning domestic trophies, with Europe only serving as a means to sustain the team, rather than a focus in itself.
