Andy Newport observed Rangers supporters adopting Erasure's pop hit "A Little Respect" as a new chant during their Premier Sports Cup semi-final at Hampden. The writer argues that despite grumbles from some fans over the style of play, manager Derek McInnes deserves patience and respect after leading the team to a 1-0 victory over Aberdeen to secure a spot in the final.
