Alex Rae has revealed he felt embarrassed in the manner in which Rangers went down to defeat against Hamilton at the weekend.

Rangers, under caretaker boss Graeme Murty, were expected to make it three wins on the spin by seeing off Accies at Ibrox.




But Rangers squandered a series of chances and went down to a 2-0 defeat, giving Hamilton their first win at the ground in 90 years.

Rae, a former Rangers midfielder, says that defeat at home against Hamilton would have been unthinkable during his time at the club and would have led for calls for someone to lose their job.
 


"Can you imagine in my time when I was there that Rangers lost to Hamilton at Ibrox? There would be an outcry for somebody to lose their job and unfortunately that's where Rangers are at the moment", Rae was quoted as saying by the BBC.

"Watching at the weekend, I was embarrassed in the manner in which they actually capitulated.

"When you come to Ibrox, it used to be an intimidating place.

"Teams like Hamilton are coming there and actually giving a good account of themselves", he added.

Rangers have not yet appointed a permanent successor to Pedro Caixinha, having shown him the door towards the end of October.

Murty is now preparing Rangers for their Friday night trip to Dundee, where the Gers will be desperate to get back to winning ways against the Premiership's bottom side.
