Another abysmal SPL performance on our travels has come and gone, and Ibrox Noise ‘rates’ a horrific afternoon in Leith as Rangers fell to what felt like a loss at Easter Road.
McLaughlin:
If Gio was in any doubt this guy isn’t Rangers class, his absolute non-movement for the equaliser would have dispelled it. He is NOT RANGERS CLASS. Deputy, fine, but number one? You’re having a laugh, Gio. 2
Tavernier:
Completely caught for the opening goal, let the man behind him, and aside the obligatory penalty, he didn’t produce much at all. Usual sh*te performance following a big new deal. 4
Goldson:
For once we actually couldn’t blame him for the opening goal, but otherwise as per usual he was blaming everyone else for pretty much everything he could. He must be a horrible team mate to be around. 3
Sands:
Despite being absolutely exposed for the opening goal (he was massively at fault for it) he actually played otherwise rather well. Much better than Goldson anyway. 6
Barisic:
Stonking assist for the second goal but otherwise a distinct backturn from recent performances. Looked distracted and was massively caught for the opening goal. 5
Lundstram:
He has NOT been at the level this season he was last. We’ve tried to be generous with him but this was a poor afternoon from him and unless we’ve misread the rules, cynical tackles from behind are straight reds. Even if it wasn’t, he gave the ref a decision to make. Poor. 3
Jack:
Robbed of the ball, straight off his toes more than once, and while he’s alright going forward, he’s a shadow of what he was. Didn’t get a foothold at all out there. 4
Kent:
Jesus Christ Gio give this guy a place on the bench. He is flat as a pancake right now, looking distracted and needs a spell on the sidelines. Nothing to do with resting, he’s just not himself. 4
Lawrence:
If you take away his admittedly belting goal he was ****ing horrible. At least two woeful pieces of ball play and then he was removed not long after scoring. He hasn’t really consistently impressed us yet. 5
Matondo:
This guy has been a terrible signing so far. One good 45 when we’d already won v Saints isn’t enough – he looks clueless and isolated. He fell twice on the Easter Road pitch with no one near him. He’s not got going at all and he was ineffectual today. 3
Colak:
Won the penalty but got no service – back to the strangulation of his struggles when Rangers travel. 5
Subs:
Arfield King Davis:
4 – none of them made a difference, but true, we were down to about 3 players at this point.
Morelos:
Red all day long, sorry. He’s a complete shadow of his old self at the moment. 0
Manager:
Another one Gio got all wrong. He picked too strong a team that was clearly distracted by Wednesday and his changes made no difference. He is REALLY struggling away from home with this club. 3
