AK, was Leveins first game not a 2-1 win over rangers?? Then Houstons was the 7-1 drubbing at Ibrox!! Will this possibly be the 3rd manager in a row to start with Rangers

Leveins might have been Killie right enough, but I'm sure Rangers must have been very early on, anyway to keep the sequence going it'll have to be another win or at least a draw

Houston's first game was a 0-0 home draw with Killie on boxing day 2009

AK, wasn't Levein's first game in charge a win over the old Rangers? I seem to remember Lee Mair scoring in that one (!)

Highlight of Levein's reign has to be 2-1 v Celtic at Tannadice. 8 of us came up from London for that one, and we were regretting it til about 5 minutes to go.

Highlight of Houston's spell, either the cup final or the 2nd leg QF win over the old Rangers. Terrible game but hilarious outrage from the Rangers fans afterwards. Remember one of them ranting at us that we only tried against them. So funny.

Barca, that was a great game, especially singing 'Robson what the score' & 'were gonna win the league' brilliant

Good article westcoastarab,
Despite our criticisms of Houston he's gone now and we can look to the future.
If we're going for personality then I doubt if Pressley would make the shortlist but football wise whk knows.
Alec Smith and dare I say it Levein appear to rate him.
Thompson is well aware that whoever he appoints will be there for 2/3 years so has to be the right choice.
And we can only assume he's done his homework and taken good advise.

Shedboy, I don't think we've been left in too bad a position, it's still well within our reach to get a European spot, and the big game at the weekend is the perfect chance for the new man to set the standards

Westcoastarab,
What if we don't make top 6.
What if Houston has been right all the time and it has been the players, the referees etc to blame.
And we hounded the man.

Shedboy, I'll be taking no blame whatsoever if that happens

And you'll owe me a pint
