Match Thread ** Rangers v Hibernian - 15:00 Sat 3rd Feb - RangersTV.tv **

The mentally challengeds got beat today what a chance to get a result and do these spoonburners. Midfield to front non existent Murty needs to make changes now.
 
Declan John getting a roasting. Allan was getting all the room in the World in midfield and causing us no end of problems in first 20-25 minutes. We seemed to have ironed that out by moving Goss closer to him and then McGinn, who spent almost the entire first half wide in the left, gets the chance to move into the gap in central midfield and takes it.

I thought with Goss moving to close down Allan we had weathered the storm but the goal makes it an entirely different game. If Hibs try and sit back we can still turn this around but there’s no question we are under severe pressure now.

I’m not sure taking off Goss or Holt for Docherty solves it, too like-for-like. Might need to sacrifice Windass or Candeias for Docherty - but it blunts us in attack.
 
Cummings should have been on from the start,Morelos is demob happy,with his head allover the place.

They have a better midfield on paper and whats more they have an extra man in there.

A good manager would make the adjustments required, will Murty make the changes?

Docherty must come on and we must match up with the 3 in midfield.

He better not in this game or we'll be 3 down.Has to change at half time to stand any chance of getting back in the game.

Dunno if you are at the match mate, but watch Johns positioning- he’s leaving the LB area of the park badly exposed by drifting in. Hibs no.17 is in tons of space and he is getting loads of really dangerous balls into our box.

Cummings hasn't got anywhere near the fitness levels required to start in such a game. It's entirely right that he's brought on as a sub.
 
This second half must be all guns blazing to win this game. A draw is no use. Win or lose, the choice is there.
 
Jesus christ it's bad but some of the reactions on here are over the top. Like some of you have been eagerly waiting for this so you can have a go at anyone and everyone

He’s done well defensively but his first touch is woeful at times.

He’s doing ok going forward, but he gives up awful easy if he loses the ball. If only we could replicate the Candelas/Tav partnership on this side.
 
Murty should have played 3 in the centre today to allow us more control. The game is too open. It’s like playing red or black on roulette. First half could have gone either way.
 
Right come on Rangers - we need to flood the middle of the park now and play through them - by going wide we're leaving too much space in the middle.

We've got another gear - lets show it.

COME ON RANGERS
 
No changes. Sorry to say it, as I like him a lot, but Murty is not the man to take us forward.

We've wet the bed again.
 
To be fair to Murty, we're missing Jack, Dorrans, McCrorie, Wallace & Alvses,
Our squad for not have the depth to have that quality out & still dominate games...
Get Docherty on..
