BBC journalist Tom English has taken a swipe at Rangers for the mistakes made by past regimes.
The Ibrox outfit are in a three-way race to the SPFL title, with Hearts and Celtic also very much in the hunt to win it.
Currently, Rangers find themselves one point behind the league leaders Hearts, but control their own destiny in the title race.
The title race is expected to go down to the wire…
Who will win it?
Tom English claims Rangers made ‘awful’ decisions behind the scenes
English has attributed the Gers’ problems over the years to poor decisions made behind the scenes.
This led to chaos inside the club, which led to them making questionable financial decisions and they then had to fight their way back up the divisions to once again conquer Scotland.
However, since Steven Gerrard guided the Gers to their 55th league title, they have struggled domestically, but have a chance to win this year under Rohl.
English has acknowledged that the club are in a better place now.
He wrote in the BBC: “All Rangers’ on-pitch problems throughout the years of Celtic dominance originated off the field with awful decision-making that led to poor performance, turbulence and financial waste.
“They were in that vicious cycle for a very long time. Chairmen, chief execs, sporting directors, heads of recruitment, managers, players – it was a relentless churn.
“All of it was brought about by a desperation to catch up with Celtic in the face of ferocious pressure from fans. They’re in a better place now, I think.
“Celtic have in recent times lapsed into poor decision-making themselves and you can see the consequences.”

What has changed at Rangers with Andrew Cavenagh as the Chairman?
Andrew Cavenagh has led a structural overhaul behind the scenes, making Rangers function like an efficient entity.
He has changed the executive team, bringing in Jim Gillespie as CEO and elevating Fraser Thornton to serve as the Executive Director.
Cavenagh also sacked Kevin Thelwell and Patrick Stewart, completely abolishing the Sporting Director role.
The American was also quick to acknowledge the hierarchy’s mistake in hiring Russell Martin and thus parted ways with him.
He has also overseen £36m in total capital investment over the last year, proving his commitment to the club.
