“Midas touch has deserted him – 5” – Rangers players rated at Dingwall

GVB’s honeymoon at Rangers may be somewhat over after dropping 4 points in the past 3 SPL matches.

Ibrox Noise takes you through our ratings for a difficult afternoon in Dingwall.

McGregor:

He will know himself this was probably the worst match he’s ever played in the best part of a 20-year career. He was horrible, cost two goals, looked shaky, and made numerous errors. Is he finished? On this evidence, maybe. 0.

Tavernier:

Defended well enough again, got a big goal in the right place at the right time, and also managed quite a few shots. Crossing wasn’t the best, but few can complain about his performance. 8

Goldson:

His goal was again right place right time but his defending was a mess. Big part to play in one of the lost goals, and was certainly some distance off the PL defender he maybe thinks he is. Not great at all. 5

Bassey:

Another mess, Bassey just isn’t good enough for this position – he’s ok as deputy and fills in when need be (which is right now, in fairness) but he was massively at fault for the second goal and this one exposed his CB limitations. Boy do we desperately need Souttar and Doekhi. 4

Barisic:

Funnily enough like Tav Barisic, FB, comes out with his head high. Not amazing but clean enough and made no errors. Got in more crosses than Tav and more accurate ones too and was solid at the back. 7

Kamara:

Pretty average from the Finn, and if he’s looking for a new club in the PL this is one he will hope scouts weren’t at. He wasn’t awful but did little of note, fading into the background. He’s gone back a few steps after initially improving so much under GVB. 6

Arfield:

Another bright performance from the former Canuck, who could have scored on a better day. Energy as always, shots aplenty, and rarely lost the ball. 8

Kent:

Solid from Kenty, didn’t stand out perhaps but got an assist, and he got plenty of damage on the County rearguard. Keeps on working, albeit currently isn’t in sensational form or anything. 7

Aribo:

What a player. Picking up where he left off and just looks sensational when he has the ball – Velcro Boots indeed. Got himself an assist, and he’s just a unit of a boy. 9

Diallo:

Couldn’t have done more to introduce himself to the Gers faithful. Goal inside 4 minutes, then effectively made another one for Tav, the Ivory Coast star might only be 19 but we can see why he’s valued at £40M. 9

Itten:

Oh dear. Something happened to him and he’s got zero confidence. The only man to play worse than him today was Greegsy. 1

Subs:

Roofe:

Might have bagged a goal, and looked pretty bright. 6

Sakala:

Didn’t really have an impact. 5

Lundstram:

Seemed a weird sub to bring on. 4

GVB:

Unfortunately the man’s Midas touch has deserted him lately and he’s making some curious decisions. Starting Itten repeatedly when we have better options is definitely not one of his better moves, and taking far too long to remove him was another fail. We love the manager, and we want him to keep learning, but right now things aren’t working too great for him or the team. 5
