I think he thought he was playing for Dundee Utd yesterday.
He found a tangerine jersey with every pass.

Jack and Lundstrum are too similar for me. Slow, ponderous, lack creativity and very little goal threat.I missed the game yesterday. Indeed Lundstram has been poor for a while. Kamara too. Is Jack THAT much better? Seems to me he lacks awareness on the ball and seems only capable of playing it where he’s facing. He can be ok defensively. May be worth another year but I think we can do better. Delighted with Raskin Tillman and Cantwell.
He’s a weak link at the moment. I’d rather start Kamara with Jack next week if Raskin can’t make it
I remember the soundbites when he was signed box to box brought energy and could get forward and was exactly what we needed needless to say he has been exact opposite and he is up here on a massive wage he has to go in the summer.This is the same Lundstram that started his Rangers career. His form last season was the anomaly, not the fact he’s gone back to being a man down.
Needs to go in the summer.
Lundstram sat deeper than Goldson for long spells today! Against these low blocks at Ibrox he offers nothing - everything is side ways or backwards. Been liking Jack and Raskin as a duo we really missed Raskin today.
But what a purple patch!He's regressed at an alarming rate.
Sheffield United fans did say he will have a purple patch and then become mediocre, seems we've had that purple patch.
100% correctI’ve never took to him.
Technically he’s a decent player, the type of player i’d imagine would be great in training.
Can’t quite put my finger on it, but i’ve always felt he thinks he’s better than he is which doesn’t help him. Slow, lacks awareness, ponderous on the ball, inconsistent. I’d be happy if we moved him on in the summer.
LazinessThat was bizarre, sitting behind the defence even when we're attacking. It's completely unnecessary. And he does it all the time.
Smacks of a guy who is thinking about his next move tbh. Same as KamaraLooks a shadow of the player from the second half of last season, where he was positive, energetic and dynamic.
Now, he wants to play the game at walking pace and spends most of his time knocking the ball back or sideways.
The difference is stark and bizarre.
Him and Jack in midfield next week and we lose, if Raskin isn’t fit then Arfield or Kamara come in or Tillman drops back.He is a certainty to start next week.
He is not good enough to play consistently in order to win the league.I’ve never took to him.

Unless we do what you propose, we wont win the league next season.The difference between him and Cantwell yesterday was frightening.He was shown up big time yesterday for being slow,negative and lacking an edge to his game.
Him and Kamara need to go during the summer along with Davis & Arfield,although the latter 2 have only been guilty of time catching up with them.
I'd go three in the middle next week Raskin, Jack, Cantwell and keep Tillman advanced as one of our forwards.Him and Jack in midfield next week and we lose, if Raskin isn’t fit then Arfield or Kamara come in or Tillman drops back.
You would have had Jack and him both off?Can’t believe we used 5 subs today and he managed to stay on the park!
Waste of a jersey.
Hardly shocking. He was more or less a cd for much of the game and we didn't lose a goal; his header at their corner was hardly "shocking" either. He lacks the manoeuvrability of many others, especially in midfield, but a shocking performance? Don't think so.Shocking today. I’m worried his wages will be too high for a potential suitor in the Summer.

Just as well he did, with Goldson nearly in the opposition box for much of the time.Lundstram sat deeper than Goldson for long spells today! Against these low blocks at Ibrox he offers nothing - everything is side ways or backwards. Been liking Jack and Raskin as a duo we really missed Raskin today.
All over the place, that is nonsense. He isn't easy on the eye in a side playing as we do, but all over the place? Nonsense.Nonsense, he got megged on the half way line early doors which set the tone and led to a great chance which Davis did well the block.
He was all over the place and Beale put him out of his (our) misery by taking him out of the firing line with the formation change.

Can't believe Beale ain't told them to zip it&let's do our talking on the pitch.Setting ourselves up again....He’s been mouthing off to the press again about how the gap between us and them isn’t that big.
Just get rid of him as soon as we can.Rangers' Lundstram convinced Celtic gap not that big

He didn't start well, but his clearing header was on the 10 minute mark and where he really lost out on the ball was around the opposition box through the middle, where he was outnumbered by defenders. His idea about getting through their defence in that particular part of their box is something we did too little of, especially before the second goal, but it was were we eventually got the first goal, and instead of going out wide so often we should have done that more often, in the first half; Lundstram seemed more aware of that than some others. His dropping back into defence was interesting as well, because of what Goldson was doing with his passing, in attempting to beat the low block; no other midfielder gives us that option, apart from Lundstram.He was chasing shadows for the first 25 mins, miles off it.
Think there will be at least 1 or 2 additions with Jack reluctantly getting an extension.Unless we recruit more midfield in the summer, I think Raskin, Lawrence and Cantwell will be the 3, with Jack the main alternate. Hoping everyone else is away and better brought in, but prob won't happen like that.
It's actually prob his best position.That was bizarre, sitting behind the defence even when we're attacking. It's completely unnecessary. And he does it all the time.
How you've described Jack is exactly how I'd describe Lundstram.I missed the game yesterday. Indeed Lundstram has been poor for a while. Kamara too. Is Jack THAT much better? Seems to me he lacks awareness on the ball and seems only capable of playing it where he’s facing. He can be ok defensively. May be worth another year but I think we can do better. Delighted with Raskin Tillman and Cantwell.
While I didn’t see the game yesterday, from what I have seen of Jack this season he has, when fit, been average or ineffective or rarely very good (eg Hibs away). He hasn’t been that good or consistent to merit a place in the team after the summer rebuild. At best, a squad player for another year. Granted Lundstram or Kamara have been poor but if Jack has been better, not by enough imo to plan for his inclusion in the longer term.How you've described Jack is exactly how I'd describe Lundstram.
Is Jack THAT much better? Yes.
I don’t want him to start like almost everybody else but I think he’s a stick on for Beale. The idea we will go with anything other than consolidation is absurd.Him and Jack in midfield next week and we lose, if Raskin isn’t fit then Arfield or Kamara come in or Tillman drops back.
