'Culture must change' for Rangers to improve next season - Bell

Rangers must change the entire culture at the club if they are to challenge for trophies next season, according to the club's former goalkeeper Cammy Bell. The Ibrox side finished without a trophy again this season after losing to Celtic in both domestic cups and finishing third in the Scottish Premiership behind Martin O'Neill's men and Hearts. Rangers' title hopes collapsed after the split as they lost four consecutive matches and another summer rebuild is looming, with captain James Tavernier departing after 11 years.

"They've not won enough in recent history and that's why the fans are frustrated at the moment," said Bell on the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast . "They've got the new ownership who came in and willing to spend a lot of money but you've got to spend your money wisely, you've got to spend it in the right areas. It's not happened so far.

"Hopefully they've learned from their mistakes and they'll make better decisions going forward. "Up in Scotland we are completely different from any English team and the ownership are starting to understand that as well. "The points tally has been on a huge decline over the past seasons, 20 wins this season is not going to win you a title, it's not good enough in the league.

"There's got to be big change. We know there's going to be changes within the dressing room, whether Danny Rohl makes any changes within his backroom staff, we'll soon see, but the culture has to change because they've got to get back to a winning culture and winning trophies. "
