Ross Wilson has heard the comments and read the criticism as everyone - from the press to pundits to punters - have had their say on his Ibrox reign.
Such observations can often be dismissed as ‘noise’ at a club like Rangers. When it comes to Wilson, the sporting director, the volume has now been turned up even higher than before.
Some of it has been shot down as ‘nonsense’ and Wilson will not ‘buy it’ in other regards. Many will have their opinions on his successes or failures, but his mind is set when he judges himself against the mandate that he was given when he left Southampton in October 2019 to take up a role at Ibrox.
