He did, but he wasn't alone. Souttar and Goldson looked nervy and Souttar was sleeping at their goal.
We tend to try and apportion blame to individuals and look for someone to target. Today was a collective failure. It happens in football and we have no right to win any game of football, that has to be earned.
Making so many changes, and these are changed we all "demanded" happen, we were always leaving ourselves open to an uncertain start.
Calling for players and managers heads after 1 game is just mental.
Agreed. It was just an observation. He just didn't look himself today. Maybe getting used to new faces I guess.

It didn't take long for it to be Tavs fault. All we need now is for someone to blame Barasic and we'll have a full house.
It was a collective failure this evening.
Not saying its his fault Cammy. I'm a big Tav fan. Just thought he was quite poor and looked unsure on many occasions.

Not sure what to think after watching that. One of the biggest take aways for me (amongst many), was how poor our captain was. Don't want to single anyone out but we should look to him for leadership. Couldn't get my head around him running 60 yards across the pitch to take the ball of Lundstram for a throw in. Lundstram could have used a quick throw but Tav had to come across and take it. Anyways, I'm going to get pissed.

Here's the bizarrest fact you'll hear on here today. In my younger years, I once modeled as Richard Hannay for an illustrated version of the 39 Steps. Still got a copy in the loft somewhere.

Not the best first 45mins - Sima only player who looks like creating anything.
Pitch is horrendous but not an excuse for our poor performance thus far.
Raskin has show good urgency IMO.

Regardless of personel, our away games V Kilmarnock are basically carbon copies of the previous game against them at Rugby Park. That surface should be outlawed.
Need more width from FBs in my opinion. We are far too narrow against a bank of 6 defenders.

Why are we playing so many long passes. I get that the pitch is sh*t but come on.

Good old McInnes. Playing what looks like a back 6?

Bloody buzzing. It's amazing how football mixed with the promise of hope can turn a grown man into a child on Christmas Eve. Cmon Rangers. Let's do this!!!

Beale seems to like Sima.
There's a player there. We just need to rekindle it. Hopefully a goal or assist today will do that.

It was just whomever was playing as the 6; Lundstram didn't play all the time.
I agree that Raskin is better getting forward. I feel like I'm in the minority, there, though.
I want to see Dowell as the 6. I'm definitely in the minority, there!
Either way Rousseau, one things for sure, we have options for the first time in ages. Our bench is very strong. Really hope Sima plays well today as he looks like he his touch is out and confidence is low.

Definitely another way of looking at it. As much as Lundstram has his flaws and critics, his versatility remains useful.
People have short memories. Lundstram was excellent in the 2nd half of last season IMO and had many stand out games.

We have seen our 6 drop between the CBs in pre-season, whether Raskin or Lundstram.
I didn't know that. Missed all the games. I would rather it was Lundstram drop in and Raskin pushing on.

Possibly a bit more defensive a starting XI than we expected but it's also solid against a Killie outfit that will have plenty energy to compete at home in the first game of the league season. Plenty options from the bench as game opens up. Fine by me...
I see this as the opposite. We want the FBs providing width and Lundstram is the safety net for the CBs.

I'd hazard a guess at a fluid 4-4-2 with this lineup, with Dowell and Sima tucking in when defending and then a box in possession with Dowell and Lammers as the 10's.
Could be wrong though.
I said it earlier in the week. I can see this moving to a 3-5-2 with Lundstram sitting in with Goldson and Souttar. Much like he did under Gio in Europe. Barasic and Tav pushing on and providing width.
---Goldson------Souttar---
----------Lundstram-------
Tav-----------------Barasic
-----Raskin------Dowell----
----------Lammars---------
---Sima----------Dessers--
If that is the case we will have the huge bulk of the ball IMO.

Hope he gets game time or this is a waste of a great talent
Let's not be dramatic. He's literally just turned 20. We should use any potential loan agreements wisely and patiently if we truly believe in this boy. Harry Kane anyone...?
Incidentally. I presume he won't be playing against us during this arrangement?

Probably the expected squad tbh.
don’t forget, we can change the registered squad between each round, so expect the likes of Roofe and Lawrence to come into it once they have caught up on fitness, this round probably just too early for them.
Good point. Totally forgot about that.

Surprised that Lawrence didn't make it but I presume we have to ensure the Scottish quota is fulfilled.

I wonder which of our new strips we will wear on Saturday? Our blue and white strips are probably too much of a clash and our stripey number will also clash with their stripes. Maybe all white? Thought that looked very swish against Hoffenheim.

Hope he's on the mend mate, I don't know the man but if he's a supporter of Rangers I'm sure he'd love it.
Hoping to pop in around the Morton game myself.
Thanks yuddie. I'm sure he will. I was just wondering about overall feedback for the place as I haven't seen that much.

Just a follow up on this. Has anyone had the chance to visit? My old man has had a wee health scare lately so I was going to book us tickets to give him a pick-me-up. Any thoughts on this would be welcome. Cheers in advance.

I wouldnt be surprised if he didn't, assuming he's had perhaps only a week or two in full training. But also, he seems to be one of those guys who are naturally fit and can get themselves match ready really quickly.
I think we have to factor in the dreadful plastic mess we have to play on. It would be foolish to rush him back too early and regret it.

I know but I only put him in there as part of a back 3.

The width is an issue for me. Tav and BB were completely redundant today as we continually tried to play through a congested middle area.
