The reaction to events this week not within our own club has been interesting - with much of it missing the point.

Brendan Rodgers is a good coach who has delivered success before. Ange Postecoglu was a top coach and Celtic played exceptionally well under him. They were well coached and well drilled. Both would have got a lot of money this summer to spend and try to improve the team.

The point is, nothing has deviated in terms of the challenge to reclaim the title. The situation has not altered one bit. The posts and reaction online from some of: ‘our board better spend’ or ‘our board better react’ etc, is still as relevant now as it was before. 

Given the scale of the task, the rebuild always required a near-perfect hit rate. It always required getting the best possible players and maximising our potential transfer spend. Events across the city don’t mean we should concern ourselves or panic over with what they might be doing. 

Rangers must look at another six players or so coming in the door this summer, with potential variables in that number depending on who comes in. We still require a centre-back, a midfielder, a winger or two as well as a number nine or two, all capable or starting. That’s before we address what might happen with the likes of Borna Barisic, Ben Davies, Glen Kamara, Ianis Hagi, Antonio Colak and others. 

All our focus should be on that. Rangers have to get a team that is capable of beating everyone else consistently and well. It’s not a matter of keeping up with others but setting a consistency that is hard for rivals to match.

The Old Firm matches will take care of themselves and undoubtedly these games are the high-pressure ones Beale will be judged on. But we have seen enough to be confident in the manager tactically with a squad currently he is rebuilding and we viewed as broken. 

Rangers' summer has gone well so far. The targets acquired have been sensible business and solid acquisitions on paper. But we are still waiting on those game changers, the killers in the squad capable of scoring 25 a season and the creator capable of pitching in 25 goals and assists. None of that has changed and this is now the business we must be pushing on to do. 

When I asked Michael Beale after the Scottish Cup semi-final if twelve players leaving and twelve players coming in was a fair judgement of potential summer business, he replied by saying there could be "something in those numbers". 

Well, currently we are way short of both which tells me there is so much more action to happen - and for our support that is compelling. I am excited personally by who is coming in and who has already arrived. But I’m also cautious. It probably doesn’t need said but I am under no illusions that this squad still requires the guts of its transfer surgery to hit a very high standard.

This squad isn’t ready yet. But we all know that. The focus should be on fixing that and whilst there are no issues keeping an eye on what's happening over the fence, our reaction should be to a poor season last term and fixing those issues. These are our problems to fix and have nothing to do with anyone else.

For Rangers, that is our priority and our only concern. The summer has started nicely and we are all sitting pretty in the sun, quite pleased. That could change if we don’t deliver and it's in the delivery where success or failure will be assessed.
