In fairness to Lee McCulloch, the man did stick by Rangers when the club needed him the most, refusing to depart Ibrox when so many of his peers did in 2012. With that said, McCulloch was also reportedly taking a wage of close to £17k per week last season, and his performances on the park didn't reflect that, especially when Rangers were in dire financial straits.

Before McCulloch, Carlos Bocanegra briefly wore the armband at Ibrox. Not since David Weir (now Assistant Manager at the club) from 2009-2012 have Rangers fans had a reason to believe that the man wearing the little piece of material on their sleeze with a big 'C' emblazoned on it is the best leader in the dressing room.

Previously, captains of Rangers were steely men, guys such as Richard Gough, Barry Ferguson and even Lozenro Amoruso all served the team admirably as the leader of men. Able to whip the team into shape when players were flagging, the captain should lead by example, and that's something the Gers badly need going forward, a linchpin to steer them through on the pitch.
