Mark Hateley has urged the Rangers board to fix the disconnect between the club and its disgruntled fanbase by being far more open with them.
The Ibrox legend and former club ambassador has watched in dismay as the decision by Rangers to take part in the Sydney Cup - and the perception that the champions are a sideshow to Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou’s return to Australia - has driven a wedge between the support and the hierarchy.
And while he believes Gio van Bronckhorst ’s players must blank out the noise and focus on retaining the title - and beat Dundee in Sunday’s Scottish Cup clash at Dens Park - Hateley admits he has sympathy with the supporters who feel let down.
