Ross Wilson's sudden exit from Rangers for Nottingham Forest seems to have been more warmly received by supporters than many of his transfer dealings.
The Sporting Director completed a swift move to the Premier League on Wednesday after three-and-a-half years in Govan in which he helped deliver title number 55, a Scottish Cup and a Europa league Final. But major question marks have hung over his signing policy. Willie Mercer, Dumfries, said: “It says everything about the job Ross Wilson has done at Rangers, when we will receive more for him than for most of the players he has brought to the club. He is a lucky man leaving before at least £20million walks out the door in May. He should have been sacked.”
Eddie Easson, Ballingery, blasted: “Another ditching the sinking ship. Wilson has got out before he was sacked. If Michael Beale doesn’t lift the Scottish Cup this year there will be a few shoogly pegs at Ibrox. Meanwhile good old Dave King appears at the right time to stick the dagger in the Rangers board. Of course he turned down fortunes for his shares just like the Rangers board turned down millions for Morelos.” Scott Gowers, Edinburgh, said: “All Ross Wilson has done is brought crocks and mediocre players to Ibrox. Yes financially his hands were tied but the reality is that he didn't cut it. Every SPFL club have signed players for a pittance and many are proving their worth, we have many talented youngsters who Ross Wilson looked past. Given the chance one could be the next Barry Ferguson. The best part of Wilson's exit is the unbelievable fact that Rangers will receive a six figure fee. Goodbye and good riddance.”
