Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers were extremely active in the summer transfer window.
Glasgow Rangers boss Mark Warburton has told the Guardian that the first message he gave to all his new signings at Ibrox this summer was to inform him of any problems they had with his management style.
Warburton wanted Rangers’ players to come to him, should they have any issues over training.
However, the former Brentford boss insists that the delivery of his Rangers’ players’ complaints must remain respectful.
“The first message to the players on the first day at the club was: ‘If my sessions are rubbish, knock on the door and say: ‘I didn’t get that session, it didn’t work for me.’’ No problem,” Warburton said.
“If you say: ‘Oi, gaffer, that was rubbish,’ I’ll give you what for. It’s how you relay the message. If the session didn’t work and they tell me, I quite like that because I then have to tweak. If the food’s not right, I tell the chef. I don’t go in and say: ‘Oi, that lunch was crap.’ I say: ‘I’m not so sure about chicken today, chef.’ Same message but it’s how you tell it.”
Warburton’s comments come following Joey Barton’s dismissal from Rangers’ training, after an argument with midfielder Andy Halliday.
Barton has now not played for Rangers for over a month, and there are serious question marks over the 33-year-old’s future at Ibrox.
Rangers’ other new signings, meanwhile, appear to be starting to adapt to their new environment.
Rangers were extremely active in the summer transfer window, as they strengthened their squad with a number of new additions.
Many of the new recruits struggled to hit the ground running for Rangers, but Warburton’s men have now won three of their last four matches and appear to be starting to find some form.
