Some Rangers fans are worried about the direction the club are heading under manager Steven Gerrard after last night’s damaging defeat to Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup quarter-final.
The 2-0 loss to Derek McInnes’ side means that the Gers’ best chance of silverware this season has disappeared, just like the Scottish League Cup, with the chances of winning the Scottish Premiership incredibly slim.
Our ropy form since beating Celtic last December has been incredibly frustrating, with the team apparently losing the fighting spirit that produced that sensational afternoon at Ibrox.
With a tough match against Kilmarnock on the immediate horizon, before another derby at Celtic Park, the pressure is really on Gerrard even if the majority of the support still back him to continue as manager.
Despite that backing, it would be churlish to suggest there is no anxiety about the job he is doing and these fans have taken to Twitter over the last 24 hours to share their thoughts, with some believing there are more failures ahead…
I’m actually worried we won’t finish 2nd after that performance last night
A few players need to be dropped, Gerrard has to take control and do what’s needed because the majority of this side don’t look up for another tough opponent.

We really should be worried about a manager of McInnes quality pretty much outsmarting Gerrard in most games this season.

Am worried that Gerrard keeps making the same mistakes in these matches. 1 up top and get crosses in against the sheep is just stupidy. Both games at ibrox we could have played for a week and not scored

Gerrard may have passion but he’s still a youth coach manager going off these decisions. Only makes a sub when we are 2-0 down.. wtf.

Gerrard’s under pressure after this, make no mistake.
He’s got some momentus decisions to make before he tackles what’s left of the season.

Gerrard turning out to be too much of a reactive style of manager with in game management, never makes decisions on the front foot, waits far too long.
Same shit, different season

It's inexcusable that we've been put out of both cups by that dross. Gerrard has failed miserably domestically and keeps making the same mistakes over and over again.
