Ok maybe not driving forward but there were plenty of occasion he could have turned and look forward as opposed to going back and always his relying on the CB's. 

That's fair. 

 

Apologies - it's a bit of a pet peeve of mine, this need to see a midfielder do everything, become all-rounders. There's talk of Declan Rice needing to add goals to his game. Why? He's a DM. We don't expect FB's or CB's to score goals.

 

Midfielders should be specialised, IMO. Let them be the best version of the position they play. If they are a DM, let them get better at tackling, recovering the ball, blocks, interceptions, pass accuracy, -- and to be fair, forward passes, secondary assists, even assists-- but don't expect them to do everything.

Just back from game and decent enough performance and 3 valuable points. 

 

However, Livingston as a club need to have a look at themselves. 40mins to get into game and missed 1st goal. No stewards outside ground and it was utter shambles.

Good result.

 

Goldson is lucky that we are short of alternatives.

Hahahaha  - holy feck, I usually have time for him, but what tosser he sounds there talking about snowballs. 

 

Maybe he'd like to comment on 1000's of Rangers fans who missed start of the game due to turnstiles not being open and others breaking down?

Decent performance today.

 

One positive change noted was our desire to keep attacking the opposition.  No more sitting on a one goal lead, by the looks of it.  Given our defensive lapses, we need to do this.

 

The first two goals were terrific.

This is why we are losing goals IMO, last season we went after teams keeping the opposition away from our goals

I must have watched a different game. It wasnt all plain sailing  (it never will be on that pitch) but that was the most comfortable we've looked on that pitch.

Tough is maybe the wrong word.  Perhaps frustrating would be more accurate.  We are not making the most of the really good situations we find ourselves in.  I meant the same as you, it wasn't all plain sailing.  I'm not going to go into specifics.  Did enough of that last week.
