CammyF 8,129 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Thought he had a decent game today. Like the rest of team had a shakey start, but played well enough. Got caught under the ball for their goal, but want only one at fault. Grew into the game after that. Good to see us identifying players early and trying to nurture them for the future. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 God but we're hard to please. Simpson played well today, it would be churlish to say otherwise. We need to stop the negativity about this player. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 played well today. Better than Goldson today I would say so that is promising. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSocksRedTops 3,752 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Thought he did well today. Very harshly booked early on which probably didn't help 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,680 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 He did well in his first OF game. Hopefully will take confidence from today because I do worry we’ll lose Helander in the summer. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players come and go. It doesn't matter who it is, the team goes on. No one plays better because they're undermined for no good reason.

Frankie 8,570 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Simpson did fine overall. A wee bit culpable at the goal and was careless a couple of times in the 2nd half when clearing the ball would have been a more prudent option but generally he played OK and he can be happy with his day's work. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,724 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 He has not had enough game time to judge to be fair, however after watching him today he looks very raw! he did ok, however what is important is it does show why we need 4 cb's 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Simpson played no worse and at least as well as every other CB at the club today after 3 or 4 appearances. There is absolutely no basis on which to regard him negatively. None. There again, all the rest received the same dubious wisdom at the start of their Rangers career so maybe it's just a necessary rite of passage. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,627 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Simpson lost Ajer at a couple of corners, one of which caused their goal. He ended up getting taken off marking him. He got turned inside out by Edouard late in the first half and had to be saved by a great tackle by Davis. He failed to stop the cross which led to the Turnbull chance. He even got turned inside out by Kenny late in the game and looked decidedly dodgy every time he was one on one with an opponent. He looked comfortable with the ball at his feet and had a good interception in the first half but defensively I thought he was relatively poor. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
