Somebody should conduct a Dessers vs Shankland poll.

Three points on the board but no one gets any higher than a three out of ten from me that was 99 minutes of complete dross

Shankland is not and never will be good enough for Rangers

Agreed, perhaps when he jumped on the scene and scored for fun he might have been worth a look but not now. Nisbet on the other hand might have been good enough which pains me to say. 

 

As for the match Big Phil gets the benefit of doubt that he has inherited some poor players and had minimal time on the training ground and games following Euro away days can always be tricky. But this win should be a spur for everyone for it to finish like that.

The final xG was 4.03 - the highest of the season by quite some way.

 

Even if we take out the 2 penalties, it's still one of the highest (2.45). 

 

Since Clement has come in we've seen an increase in our xG and a decrease in our xGA. 

 

It's progress.

It's just a shame our forwards are about as clinical as...

Its pretty obvious just by watching. I think it was you that made the comment about trying combination passes in and around the box instead of cross, cross cross etc.

 

Our winner came from a cross but probably because we didn't rip the backside out of crossing.

Is there any word on Raskin's injury?

Genuinely don't trust them to be accurate if there is.

Looked like he either twisted his ankle or knee to me so I'd imagine he'll be out for at least a few weeks probably a lot more.
