“Out of his depth – 3” Rangers players rated v Motherwell

After a very, very poor 90 minutes again in which Rangers huffed and puffed, Ibrox Noise brings you our ratings for a rather forgettable Flag Day.

McGregor:

Just isn’t looking himself at all – carrying a niggle and did admit he was ready to retire last season but wanted to do so in front of fans. He’s miles off his best. 5

Tavernier:

Really struggled again with the defensive side, isn’t getting in good crossing and aside his admittedly world class goal last match is producing very little this season to merit inclusion. Patterson must be fuming right now. 4

Goldson:

Looks distracted and clearly the contract thing is on his mind. Not assertive and has known for a long time he doesn’t need to earn his place. 4

Simpson:

Out of his depth and shouldn’t be playing for this club. 3

Barisic:

Looks unfocused and isn’t getting in the sterling crosses he normally used to. Bassey should be in. 4

Davis:

Leggy and looking a little bit his age right now, but not being helped by having to cover defensive chores Ryan Jack used to gobble up. 4

Kamara:

Deeply uninterested and just lacks any hunger or grit at all. Simply isn’t trying. 4

Aribo:

Was the one bright performer till recently but even he struggled to put in his previous quality. 5

Wright:

Hungry, and did the best he could. Got in some shots but not a useful dribble in sight. His limitations are starting to show up. 6

Roofe:

Another fairly strong showing from one of Rangers’ most productive forwards – dribbling, shooting, passing, it was all there from Roofe who keeps working hard to make space for others. 6

Sakala:

Energetic, quick, and working hard to make an impression, this was by a distance his best performance in the shirt. 100x more guts than Morelos right now. 7

Subs:

Didn’t make any positive impact, sadly.

Manager:

Stevie put out a poor team again today, sticking to his favouritism, and his post-match interview wasn’t much better. He’s not currently the polished boss he was last season and his weaknesses are starting to come to the fore like they did pre-55. We’re top of the table, but it’s by complete fortune at this point. 4
