The whole team needs a kick up arse

Steven McLean is an awful referee and I am not taking about McAusland's sending off but his "errors".

Clearly, there's a context to the team selection but it doesn't matter who plays our attitude and complete inability to do the very basics is a damning indictment on current and recent coaching staff. Nevertheless, many of these players really are a disgrace to the jersey.

[Blue Moon 1,587]

Barron should be sitting and Bajrahmi further up.  Midfield and forwards are pretty awful, surrendering possession and starting their attcks for them.  I wouldn't risk any of the senior players here tbh.  Just reset at half time and suck it up.

I wonder if the manager, who selected it, will say that, in the first half, that was not a Rangers' team out there? 

I assume that he will make changes, wholesale, as they say, and have a X, nearer the XI which lost to the Hibs, which itself, per the manager, was not a Rangers' side.

 

I am confused.

Its a catch 22 making so many changes, yes you put all your eggs into the Europa but you also send a message to the players coming in they almost arent part of the plans - most of them didnt look like they wanted to be there by just looking at them coming out the tunnel. 

 

For the first goal why do teams never put a man on the post to rule out the shooting option. 

[Dragosani 86]

After mcauslsnds first booking,I thought he's going to need to watch himself.  He's not a defender and he's not a wingback. Barry should of noticed that and done sone reorganising because it got to that stage.

Even before the red card McCausland was struggling badly yet BF did nothing

Barry's out his depth, but this squad of crap would bury anybody.

... if you have three centre-half, one of them should see this and cover that flank. Same with Curtis. The DM should step back and cover any centre-half doing this, or do it himself. That's how you play a 3-at-the-back.

 

What we did is play "youngsters" at three at the back, a youngster at wing-back and a seemingly frustrated McCausland on the right. Bajrami was no-where to be seen.

 

Let's see what happens now with Diomande and Jefte.
