Felt Dessers was a good focal point tonight, his pressing was also excellent which is I suspect why he was signed.

He's still not 100% fit but in my opinion he's a clever player. His pass to wee Rabbi was a beauty.

Two assists from Dessers tonight. I'm warming to the lad and I think he'll grow in this role. I prefer him to Danilo tbh. 

I think Danilo is not getting the same grief as Dessers simply because he's Brazilian.

I thought Raskin struggled tonight. So did the rest of the midfield tbh.

Showed some fight and desire against a very decent team ,with two excellent goals .

 

Goldson and Cantwell 👏 .

I'm happy with that tonight, their manager thinks they played well and we all agree for 2 thirds of that game we were playing within ourselves so we've got a couple of gears to go which is encouraging.

 

Would love to see us in the UCL again, it's where we should be with our history and support.

 

P.S. Rabbi has to start away next week.

There were good signs tonight but also some never-ending concerns.  

 

I like Dessers.  He gets everywhere and causes the opposition lots of problems, albeit not by scoring much (yet).  Our CBs played well and Cantwell was terrific.  Cifuentes has something about him too.

 

Full-backs up to their old tricks (Barisic largely in retreat mode and Tav getting caught out of position a few times).  Sima may have scored a great goal but was hopeless otherwise. 

 

I doubt we'll qualify for the CL but we're still in it, so who knows.

A fair result in the end and a couple of great goals from The Famous. Wee Matondo was unlucky with that volley, but Cantwell was lucky to stay on the park. Well done Rangers.

How good is it to have a goalkeeper who can come for high balls and command his six yard box?

Maybe the best signing of the summer
