Rangers throw away two points with a poor 2nd half

Don't know how you managed to "keep the heid" David, because I ain't been as angry with those players and management for a long time.

Graeme Inglis

i know this is a bit premeture, but if we were to fail to win this league, i will not be able to trust this team to do what a rangers team should be doing, and there will be few players i would be sad to see leave in the summer.

Fraser Black

Just how?! How does that happen? I don’t think I’ve ever loved & hated a Rangers team in such equal measure in my entire life . . . a psychiatrists wet dream of a team 🤦🏻‍♂️

Gavin

Any word on Ryan Jack? Was he just rested as a precaution? For long enough Jack, Davis and Kamara has been our best midfield with Aribo, Kent and Morelos in front. I don’t think Gio has ever played this starting front 6. His desire for width could be an issue for that line up.

I don't feel Mvglaughlin is the answer, you put him in and he'll soon crumble under the pressures of a Gers GK, if we put mcrorie in I believe he's a top GK in the making, speed off his line good with his feet alot to learn but what other options we got

John Mclevy

Spot on David we need to take care of our own business since the winter break far too many mistakes and poor performances to give away 3 goals against Ross County and 2 goals away today is just criminal, don’t think officials are helping our case but neither are we WATP

Graeme Inglis

they are not under the same pressure being underdogs in europe though, we need mentality to be able to win under pressure domestically

Martin Davies

Well done keeping the head during that. My thoughts after the game would have needed an 18 certificate. I now think we need to win every match and avoid defeat at Parkhead to win this title. It's going to take a run of form and victories that I'm not sure this team have the mentality to deliver. They have the ability, but do they have the bottle?

Martin Davies

By the way, your opinion on McGregor is spot on. There was a corner in the first half that pretty much landed on his head, about 1 ft out, and even then he seemed reluctant to deal with it. We got a free kick in the end but he is an absolute liability and needs to be replaced immediately.

Euan Dover

Contriving to throw the lead away in the first place was a shambles but watching that attempt at digging out a third goal was pitiful. We looked pathetic.

Stuart

Today was meant to be a happy day with our fantastic result in Europe followed up by closing the gap ti 1 point in the league. Feel good factor was supposed to be at max volume and the other teams shitting themselves as the Rangers machine rolled on. Instead we get calamity and quite frankly unacceptable defensive displays gifting goals yet again. Scunnered again ……

Andrew Finlayson

Genuinely think 21/22 Allan Mcgregor is one of worst No 1’s i’ve seen. I’m not counting the lower leagues.

George Leitch

Gio seems to be out his depth sadly. Dortmund games have kept the wolves from the door but he’s absolutely blown the league with the post new year form.

Steve23

Perfect summary

Tamus

WTF has happened to players like Borna, Goldson, Kamara etc

Stephen

Borna is and has been a confidence player - he has none. Goldson's looking for his next team and has had a terrible season. Kamara has been an empty jersey for ages. Sideways and backwards. Pointless.

Have to say I’m disappointed in the negativity around this match and the pressers which I heard . Re Allan McGregor targeting I feel extremely uncomfortable with that particularly given he wasn’t the primary problem and you have misinterpreted the match goals .

Heart and Hand

He’s been responsible for six goals conceded since January. I love him, he’s a legend but he’s not playing well enough to keep his place.

chowder

Allan McGregor solely him David ? I’m not aware of Rangers having single layer defensive systems and yes I can see errors have been made by various players that led to goals and some that did not . If he is to be sidelined then fair enough but the direct instancing of one player is simply wrong particularly on a day when he wasn’t the primary failing in the two goals imo .

Heart and Hand

We’ll need to agree to disagree if you think he’s playing well. I don’t think my view is controversial and from what I see on here, social media and heard at the game I think it’s quite a common one. I spoke about it on last week’s flagship so it’s clearly not just today. Barisic had played poorly and got dropped, CHs change…I don’t think it should be any different for a keeper.

chowder

Never was about me claiming he was ‘playing well’ it’s about AM in particular being cited in the post match David . Wrongly imo .

Heart and Hand

I think his form is an appropriate question. It’s been a major discussion point among supporters. It’s not saying he is responsible for the results - no one man is - but it’s such an important role and one many of us have concerns about. Also I’ve asked in the past about him when he’s played well - it goes both ways.

Graeme Price

Gio hasn't figured out how to protect his players for 90 minutes in Scotland yet. Why are they even in our half? Do the same you did on Thursday that worked. Bring on Balogun and push the wing backs up. Take out Kent and Morelos, they ran their race. I think he's listening to the players too much when they say they can keep playing when clearly they couldn't.

Graeme Price

Oh and did we miss Ryan Jack or what

Douglas Hannah

McGregor should have been taken out the team after the debacle at Ross County for his own good. Just been able to watch the game again and the two goals we lost are even worse than I thought at the game . McGregor needs to take that cross for first all day long, and getting beat at his near post for 2nd was poor, although not solely to blame,Tav and Goldson very poor. Gio needs to make a big call, and he should have the balls to put JM in before it’s too late.

Lynn Houston

Change players earlier second half. What about the squad? Are they up for it or not? Are you up to it or not Gio? The league is everything! The tough calls are for you to make.
