Then, as they had threatened, came the walkout. It took place on 55 minutes to signify the fact they believe the board “gave up on Rangers” after they won their 55th league title.
Rangers conceded a goal during the exit but still won 3-1. It is a victory that is not going to appease any of those who left, though, or indeed many of the fans who stayed given their side are 15 points behind Celtic in the table.
The board and manager Philippe Clement will take some heart from the fact most supporters ignored the protest, but they will know results need to improve – with their away form especially dismal.
During a media briefing on Saturday, new chief executive Patrick Stewart did not try to paint a rosy picture. He spoke of the “deeper issues” that he hopes a “deep-rooted review of the entire football department” will address.
The review started on Monday, with an independent company overseeing the task – which will last between six weeks and three months.
So what might be the findings of the review be, and what do Rangers need to improve if the discontent is to end?
