Disgusted Rangers fans quit Ibrox just 20 minutes in to leave Amazon Prime doyen stunned
Disgusted Rangers fans quit Ibrox just 20 minutes in to leave Amazon Prime doyen stunned A first half horror show from Russell Martin's side is threatening to get even worse and some punters don't want to see any more Rangers manager Russell Martin cuts a frustrated figure on the Ibrox touchline Rangers fans started leaving Ibrox after just 20 MINUTES as their team's Champions League dream imploded in front of their eyes. Russell Martin's shellshocked side shipped three goals to a Club Brugge team who no doubt can't believe their luck and already have one foot in the league phase and are counting the £40million jackpot that is surely coming their way. Nasser Djiga's moment of madness in just leaving a ball over the top for Jack Butland to collect was punished in exquisite style by Romeo Vermant, who chipped the ball over the stranded keeper first time. The boos started in earnest after just seven minutes when Jorne Spileers was given the freedom of the penalty are to double the advantage. And a third goal after less than a third of the game had been played proved too much for some. Fans started making their way to the exits no doubt with a stiff drink in mind given what their team had subjected them too. Article continues below It was picked up by stunned Amazon Prime commentator Jon Champion, who was quick to point out the mass exodus. The anger of those who stayed was also not lost on former Gers coach and co-commentator for the night Neil McCann. And the fear will be that this could get far, far worse before it gets any better and some punters would rather not hang around to witness it. Chris Sutton stuck the boot in when he posted on social media: "I thought Rangers fans don't do walking away… 20 minutes in and many have given up already…" Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland looks dejected You can follow our LIVE blog here.

Swinney has ‘no intention' of reshuffling Scottish cabinet before May election
John Swinney has made clear he has 'no intention' of reshuffling his cabinet team at Holyrood, despite a number of key figures in his government stepping down at next May's Scottish elections. More than 20 SNP MSPs are set to leave Holyrood when voters north of the border go to the poll next year. Mr Swinney's deputy First Minister Kate Forbes is among them, along with Finance Secretary Shona Robison, Transport Secretary Fiona Hyslop and Rural Affairs Secretary Mairi Gougeon. However, Mr Swinney made clear he has no plans to reshape his top team in the light of the planned departures. Speaking at an event in Edinburgh organised by the think tank Enlighten, Mr Swinney said: 'I have no intention of reshuffling my team before the election.' While he spoke about his 'regret' about fellow MSPs leaving Holyrood, including 'close colleagues, friends and confidantes', he said he had reshuffled his cabinet team after government minister Mairi McAllan returned to work earlier this year following her maternity leave. She was given the newly created post of housing secretary, with Mr Swinney tasking her with tackling the housing 'emergency' in Scotland. Asked if the impending departure of senior members of his government would bring about a reshuffle ahead of May's Scottish elections, the SNP leader said he had 'decided, actively and purposefully' that he had people in his cabinet with 'experience and expertise in a number of roles that would help me to deliver to government's programme before the election'. And he argued that if he was to 'put in a whole host of new faces' then 'it would take a while to get things back up to the level of delivery' So he insisted: 'I have no plans to reshuffle the government.' His comments came as he spoke of his 'regret' over SNP MSPs leaving Holyrood, with the First Minister saying he 'very much' regretted Ms Forbes' decision to quit the Scottish Parliament. She announced earlier this month she would not be running for election next year, saying she did not want to 'miss any more of the precious early years of family life'. Meanwhile, former first ministers Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf are also stepping down. Mr Swinney said: 'Some of my colleagues are stepping down because they have done a very long shift.' While he said he was the 'longest serving' parliamentarian at Holyrood, having been first voted in as an MP 28 years ago before being elected as an MSP in the first devolved elections, he noted a number of those quitting had also been first elected in 1999. However, he added some MSPs were leaving because of the 'tough' nature of politics. 'We have to acknowledge that for many, I think particularly younger women, the climate is horrendous,' Mr Swinney said. He continued: 'The social media endurance is hard to bear for some people, and it makes public service look frankly unattractive at times.' In these circumstances, he said, he tries to 'support my colleagues, understand and be an ally'. But the SNP leader added: 'Ultimately, I can not protect people from what is thrown at them, and some of the behaviours are appalling, so that affects a number of people as well.'
