It's never nice to see fans having it out with staff but it's their club and they have every right to be frustrated

Gers chiefs have a responsibility to deliver for demanding support

LIKE every other Rangers supporter I've seen the videos from Graz the other night.

Unfortunately, it's not goals and a Europa League victory we're talking about.

The clips were of fans having it out with Kevin Thelwell and Patrick Stewart in the team hotel after a 2-1 defeat.

When it’s your club it's never nice to witness. You don't want to see it plastered all over social media. You want to see celebration, not confrontation after a European tie.

Fans have every right to be frustrated and ask questions when things aren't going well.

After all it’s their club. They pay their money to go and watch Rangers all over Europe so are entitled to have their say.

They care so much. They're passionate about their club winning and when it’s not happening, there's bound to be frustration.

As long as it doesn't cross a line I can never criticise Rangers supporters. And when you work for the club, you have to listen to them - whether you agree or not.

Remember, I've stood there and taken it myself. I got it in the neck at times last season as manager.

And that's me, someone who grew up as one of them. But I had to take it. It's not pleasant but they're worried about their club and you have to understand that.

As a player or manager, if I was faced with the situation Kevin or Patrick found themselves in on Thursday night, I'd speak to the supporters.

You have to. You can't ignore them and have to give them their time. I've always been like that because I know they are the heartbeat of the club.
