Match Thread [FT] Rangers 2 (Tavernier 6pen; Dessers 15) - 1 Servette

I had a feeling we would live to regret being so wasteful. A bizarre handball from Dessers. This is a bog standard team though and we should be putting them away tonight.

Even more disappointing as Lammers missed that great chance moments before.

Well, we can't blame the defenders, for a change, They've coped, and then a forward blunders in....

Alas, this looks like a game of football. A bit more of a cutting edge up front, and we might be out of sight.

A lot better than Saturday but still clearly short in some key moments which is understandable at this time of the season and with so many changes. Very unfortunate to concede that penalty but Lammers should have had us 3-0 by then. Important we continue to get forward.

 

Barisic and Cantwell the pick of the bunch. It really is fine margins though so vital we cut out the slackness and don't give Servette and opportunity to equalise.

I know we're supposed to be in love with him like but Danilo hasn't impressed.

 

Just don't come out and sit in, go and be proactive. This team don't care if they're losing by 1 or 2, they won't change.

If we were a bit more fluid in our play and we were more composed we should be tanking this side.

Decent enough 1st half with some good football played. Didn't see their penalty so can't comment. 

 

Borna, Cantwell and Raskin our best players. Souttar does like a surge forward with the ball as well! 

 

Win the 2nd half and we'll be in a good position.

Danilo needs to settle down and try to keep it simple. It will come.

A classic case of trying too hard to impress.

 

No doubt there's some talent there (and I'd imagine he may move up top for Dessers later in the game) but he has been guilty of being too wasteful.
