'Well that was pish' Frankie moaned to his mate Gary as the pair made their way from Ibrox, 'If Paul Le Guen had been manager as he should have been, we wid never huv lost that kind of game'
'Quite right ye are Frankie' Gary nodded in agreement, 'That wis bloody awful, it looks like the bubble's burst noo. If only Le Guen had come, we would hae been unbeatable fur sure!'
Certainly, the performance in the 1-0 loss at home to Motherwell had left a lot to be desired. The players had found it hard to lift themselves after the midweek UEFA tie, and had looked totally clueless and out of sorts at a times against a very ordinary Motherwell side. Paulo was not best pleased, and he told the players so in no uncertain terms.
'I am no pleased' He told them at training, 'We for sure have many matches, and perhaps we cannot be winning them all? But we must be more positive, we should not be losing at home, capiche?'
If the match with Motherwell had been as a result of the midweek UEFA Cup exertations, then it had to be wondered what the excuse was when, after eleven minutes at Dunfermline, the home side took the lead.
'I'm gettin bloody scunnered wi this' Frankie moaned, 'Wur puir pish again, this would not happen under Paul Le Guen!'
'Aye Frankie I think it's time we got a new mana.....GOAL!!!'
Dado Pro's equalizer on 34 minutes was greeted by a sigh of relief by the travelling Rangers support and second from half time Sebo scored what turned out to be the winner. Not the greatest performance perhaps, but it was a match Rangers had dominated and perhaps the one thing they lacked was a real killer touch in front of goal. But the manager firmly believed that would come.
The UEFA Cup group matches got underway, and Paulo took his Rangers side to little known Austrian's Ried. The media were hailing this as an easy win for the men in blue, and in the end thats how it turned out. Once more it was Prso and Sebo who bagged the goals in a decent 2-0 win and three nice points to get Europe off the ground. Any thoughts of another Euro hangover at home to Falkirk were soon swept under the carpet as Dado Prso sent his side into a ninth minute lead, and Sebo struck eight minutes from time in a pattern that the Rangers fans were starting to like.
'See thats mair like it' Gary affirmed to his mate Frankie as they walked down the Copeland Road.
'Yup, ah never doubted the manager for a minute' Frankie confirmed.
The month of October was to end with a visit from the hated Aberdeen. Paulo Le Guenne stunned the BBC studios when, in a pre match interview with Chick Young, he stated that he had no idea why the people of Aberdeen liked to have sex with their sheep, but that was their business and would play no part on the football park. Which indeed it didn't, as a Dado Prso strike on the 17th minute was enough to give Rangers all three points.
With twelve matches gone, Rangers sat four points clear of a Celtic side who had only lost that one game, but had drawn three others. It was so far so good, and even those fans who had been ready to shoot the new manager before he arrived were slowly but surely starting to come round to him.
'I suppose he's doing no too bad' Frankie admitted to his wife that night as they finished having sex.
'Baaa'
