“So, i now completely get why Rangers fans have got to this point”- Keith Jackson ‘BLASTED’ Rangers board after what he saw raises concern about fans
Keith Jackson has stated that Rangers have become “stale” under the current board’s leadership.
Reflecting on the Union Bears’ protest walkout during the team’s 3-1 victory over St. Johnstone at Ibrox on January 12, Jackson expressed understanding of the supporters’ frustrations, although he clarified that he does not support the “ultras” culture in football.
The Daily Record journalist argued that Rangers are in need of a “regime change” and a “recalibration” of direction. He criticized the “bowling club mentality” at the top of the club, insisting it must be eradicated. While acknowledging that most Rangers fans are less militant than their Celtic counterparts, Jackson suggested that the club requires a fresh and modern approach that contrasts with the current board’s conservative style.
“I’m not a fan of ultras, but these guys are right,” Jackson said on the Daily Record’s Hotline Live on January 13. “Rangers need change. The old mentality at the top has to go. They need something new, something contemporary, something modern—everything this current board isn’t offering.”
Jackson also noted that Rangers fans are typically less radical than Celtic fans, with many simply content as long as the team is winning. However, he pointed out that a younger segment of fans feels disenfranchised and believes the club has lost its spark.
“There’s a sense that Rangers have become stale,” he added.
Following the protest, some fans chanted “sack the board” before walking out, although others stayed behind and even booed those who left, underscoring Jackson’s observation that Rangers supporters are not as militant as their Celtic counterparts.
The club’s struggles, reflected in their 15-point deficit in the Scottish Premiership, highlight the need for change. However, unity among fans will be crucial if meaningful changes are to be made at the top, something that was lacking during the protest, as two fan factions clashed.
For Rangers to regain competitiveness both domestically and in Europe, it is clear that significant reforms at the club’s hierarchy are necessary.
In other Rangers news, a particular club is reportedly set to finalize a transfer for one of the club’s stars, ending previous delays.
