None us know what was said in the Rangers dressing room after the game on Sunday and, more importantly, how it was said.

Having been both a player and a manager I have to say that I lived through and witnessed disappointments and frustrating times. There is a reaction that comes on the back of that but, and this might just be because we are looking at a different era, I can’t ever imagine Billy McNeill tearing into Jock Stein.

Many of the times as players we took criticism on the chin because we knew that it was justified if we hadn’t turned up.

But ultimately as a manager there has to be a line. You cannot have players challenge your authority because you are the manager and you make the decisions. That is it. You cannot afford to have that questioned.

I witnessed all sorts of confrontations as both a player and a manager.

Most of them tended to come on the training ground. It’d happen, there’d be a bit of an atmosphere and then it would dissipate and things would go back to normal.

What I would say, though, is that news of any fall out very rarely made its way out of the changing room.

When these fall outs become public I think that it works in a couple of ways; firstly it feeds the story which means it just keeps on running and secondly it riles supporters even more. You watch your team crumble in a massive game and then the extent of the turmoil is laid bare.

It just adds to the whole sense of anger around the club.
