da casino: As reported by The Daily Record, fresh details have emerged surrounding Graeme Murty’s bust-up with senior stars Lee Wallace and Kenny Miller at Hampden on Sunday.
What’s the story?
da apostaganha: Rangers confirmed on Tuesday that both players had been suspended pending an investigation after initial reports of a furious exchange after the side’s defeat to Celtic in the Scottish Cup semi-final.
It appears though that the ill-discipline wasn’t just a heat of the moment incident after a heavy defeat, with latest reports from The Record suggesting it’s a long-term problem at the club.
The report states there are fears within Ibrox that certain individuals are a ‘disruptive influence’ at the club and a ‘small group’ of first team players are having a negative impact on others.
A source quoted by the paper said: “Events of Sunday will not be tolerated again. The club is bigger than any individual – and their agenda. It’s a line in the sand. No more.”

Is the club right to suspend the players?
Regardless of what you think of Murty’s time in charge of the club, or his approach to Sunday’s derby, if there are fears players are actively working against management and coaches then it’s not a situation that can continue.
Lee Wallace has been an excellent servant to Rangers over the years, dedicating his career to the side in the lower leagues of Scottish football. However, squads need discipline and for any new manager coming in it’s important that he knows he has a squad to be trusted.
Cliques in dressing rooms are natural, but if they are having an negative impact on the general morale of the squad, there’s only one option the club can take and that’s to get rid.
