match thread (image) [FT] Progrès 0 - 0 Rangers

The thing is, we will play a lot of teams like that & on poor surfaces in the league this year. I think tonight showed how much we depend on Morelos. Defoe simply doesn’t have the same physical presence, against what looked like decent centre halves. Morelos rolled them about when he came on. Sell Morelos and kiss goodbye to the title, is my verdict after tonight!

Dreadful game to watch but we're through.

Jack to me was MoM and Kamara negligent in his short passing put too many of his team mates into trouble.

Not much more to say.

Makes you wonder how we're going to win the league if that's the best we can do. Pretty awful tbh.

 

Either Jack or Aribo could have been MOTM and ffs will someone remind Tavernier that he cannot take corner kicks, he's rank rotten at it.

Once again we miss a clutch of chances. Just wonder if we lack a bit of height through the centre. Someone like that Sam Cosgrove might offer something different against a packed defence. 

Mirko Maric ?

Professional performance from us this evening bossed the game from start to finish. Last 15 we should have had a couple of goals save for some stout defending from Progress. We will have to deal with quite a bit of that in the League this year so we better get used to it. I just think we should stop tryng to score the perfect goal and have a boost any time we can.

 

Personally I don't think Killie will be particularly difficult this season. New manager with a very different approach to the game than Clarke. I do think that the Hibs game at home Sunday after playing away in Denmark will be very tough. Heckingbottom has had a good 6 months with them since coming in Feb so they will be well versed in his style of play which if I'm honest was pretty decent both defensively and attacking towards the end of last season. 

Killie might not but the likes of Motherwell and hibs will be

Jeez, that was a hard watch. 

 

Our creativity is really poor and we were so slow in our play also.

This was almost a carbon copy of our last trip to luxemburg only this time we managed not to lose 2 goals....piss poor.

Another game where the ref was totally useless,two Gers players booked for nothing as it was play acting by Progres players whilst their number34 kicked ours all over the park,ah well this will probably be the norm by our incomps from Sunday.

I’m annoyed about the lost coefficient half point or whatever it was, that’s important for us right now and we’ve just thrown a gimme away there. On the other hand I don’t think there’s any reason to panic, these performances are common away from home at this stage in Europe. Having said that there’s merit in the point about lack of end product, we decided not to recruit a quality “marquee” player in the no 10 position for some reason.
