Former Scottish top flight star Tam McManus believes that Rangers fans deserve better than Graeme Murty in charge at Ibrox.
The Gers announced Murty as their permanent manager on a deal running until the end of the season on Friday, following the youth coach having a stint as caretaker boss.
Rangers sacked Pedro Caixinha at the end of October, but only swung into action to look for a replacement once the Portuguese had secured alternative employment, at Mexican side Cruz Azul.
The Gers were knocked back by Aberdeen's Derek McInnes and have now turned to Murty, despite his mixed record as caretaker, which includes home defeats against Hamilton and St Johnstone.
McManus thinks that the development was always on the cards and says he feels Rangers fans deserve better than the former youth coach.

He wrote on Twitter: "Was always going to happen. Steady. Is that enough for a club like Rangers and the fans who continue to pump their hard earned money into the club?
"Deserve better IMO, that's no disrespect to Murty, who has done great in difficult circumstances", he added.
Murty's first match as permanent manager comes on Saturday away at Kilmarnock, before a midweek home clash against Motherwell.
Rangers see out the year by travelling to Celtic on 30th December.
