Hibernian boss Neil Lennon has hit out at Rangers for their "scandalous'' treatment of Graeme Murty.
Lennon revealed he called the former Rangers boss this week to offer his support after he was "relieved of his duties'' at Ibrox on Tuesday.
But, taking aim at the Glasgow club's board, he said: "It's scandalous the way he's been treated.
"That's just my opinion but he's been hung out on his own.
"I've been in that sort of position myself at Bolton when there is no leadership or structure.
"There is a structure at Rangers but there seems to be a lack of real genuine support.
"When it really got tough a lot of people turned their back on him, which I found unpalatable.
"I've spoke to him this week to offer my support. At the end of the day Graeme is a human being. People forget that.
"It was a very difficult position he was put in and even an experienced guy would find that situation very difficult.
"So I just rang him for a few words of encouragement and to wish him well in whatever he decides to do."
