More dropped points.

We continue to lose goals from set pieces. Happened again yesterday. This year we’ve conceded from a set piece (or as a result of a set piece) at Ross county, Aberdeen, Celtic & again yesterday. Much of this year due to the fact we’ve a goalkeeper who’s a great shot stopper but doesn’t command his box. Opposition teams can see this

At least part of the set piece weakness defensively is McGregor's reluctance/inability to command his 6 yard box.

Brief highlights https://www.rangers.co.uk/tv#/

By the time that the league is lost Souttar will be described as a combining all the best attributes of Baresi, Cannavaro and Gough.

And his heading.

It feels a lot like this time in the 19/20 season at the moment with the same issue causing us trouble. Remember the 1-0 loss to Hamilton? Roofe, Ramsey and Diallo all add a goal threat to the squad though (whatever you think of them). I do think we will have recurring issues with goal scoring with a front 4 of Kent, Morelos, Aribo and Arfield though and we need to start getting Roofe at least into the team. He played a huge part in the months that won us the league last season with 8 goals in 9 (November and December).

Let's hope they are now concentrating on the league and don't want to be distracted by a European competition they did not want to be in.😊

What are your thoughts, folks?

Ramsey into the midfield too.

I'm not sure that we do though. I had a look at the stats graphs of all their signings on Twitter when they signed so I could get an idea of the type of player they were getting. Abada and Kyogo's graphs showed that they excelled at scoring goals, they had ridiculously high xG for their positions. The Greek guy very much had the stats graph of a poacher too. None of those players looked great in general on the stats graph, but they did excel at goal-scoring. They have bailed Celtic out time and time again from very similar games to the ones we've had where we haven't found that winner. Roofe is the only player we have who I would really put in that category. I think Ramsey is a very high xG player for his position too but that's a different position. Sakala has done well generally but I wouldn't put him in that category.

We have, but we don`t play them. We persist with low-scoring attack-minded midfielders against packed defences and hope some piece of skill or the prowess of the one striker on the day will drag us out. What we see is toil and more toil. While our lethal folk warm the bench. And it is even more frustrating when you know that Roofe, Sakala, Morelos and even Itten can all operate in a 3-attacker line up and have done it before. Even a basic 4-4-2 would be more lethal than what we have now ... and have had since MW.

I’ve been a bit worried for a while that we don’t have as many goalscorers in the team as Celtic do. We should have scored far more than 1 yesterday, and they found a goal from a poacher again.

Can AI tell us if the handball incident was deliberate or not? I've worked with AI and it isn't perfect either.

The world would instantly become a better a place if all Sun employees and readers were exterminated.

Whatever you think of it, with VAR we win that game today. Officials are costing us points and that's not in their job description. Is it?

Can't disagree with anything he's said tbh. There is no VAR at the moment so there's no point going about it. We didn't drop points because of the lack of VAR. We dropped points because we had 3 shots on target from the 29 that we had today.

Nonsense.

Predictive text faux pas?

Plenty of bargains but use of the name 'Goldie' is most un-Struthian and quite unforgivable.

Hopefully he drags them into the relegation zone.
