They’ve been very clinical this season and we haven’t. It’s part of the reason they’re 3-0 up after 30 minutes most games, while we’re giving away last minute equalisers.
It’s been our problem for as long as I can remember now. Even during 55, we’d come away with nervous 1-0 wins when we should’ve been out of sight.

I don’t think the one shot on target stat really does their chances justice. They had that header from Maeda when he absolutely shat it when McGregor came out to him. Didn’t they also have one other gilt edged chance that they put off target?
We definitely had the better chances in the game though. Kent and another 2 from Sakala.

As did we, 4 each I think. An away game against them and we had more shots, more shots on target, less fouls and 1% between us in terms of possession. We bossed them for large parts of the match yet some of the papers gave them considerably higher ratings than our players. Says it all. As far as the OP goes, he has a very valid point, it's something that's plagued us since Gerrard arrived.

Motherwell at home was the perfect example of our season condensed into one game.
2-0 up at half time and all talk of running up a big score to aid goal difference yet the players have already let the levels dip. Not making the most of chances just because the assumption is there that we've already got the game tied up. Then we let them go forward twice, defend amateurishly both times and get punished big time.
Suddenly the pressure's on and we need to score yet never look like creating anything meaningful

Yet the media make them as if they are frightening to play against! The shocking biased ref decisions they get is more frightening and frankly shameful

Absolutely. Look at the games against Motherwell at Ibrox this season.
Utterly pummel them and they basically scored every time they got a shot at goal, resulting in them taking a point on both occasions.
We’ve had real problems at both ends of the pitch all season in the league in that respect.
Haven’t been ruthless enough up front, nor robust enough at the back.

100% this. It’s why using stats don’t give a true reflection of a game. Kents shot from outside the box that was on target but right at Hart was never going in, but the one he cut in front of the defender and went wide was a much better chance.

McGregor's goals to shots ratio this season must be awful domestically. Not always his fault and certainly not yesterdays goal but he has been a massive issue for me this season. Doesn't change what has been a fantastic Rangers career and hopefully he can sign off with a Europa league medal and justify his decision to stay on this season somewhat.

I didn't believe the possession stats yesterday at one point it was 58% to them first half when I could hardly remember them stringing 2 passes together and we seemed to be in control

Lol, you know what I mean. They had 51% we had 49%. The old 6 point swing analogy.How do you get 1% between teams on posession?

We would probably be a good bit in front had he been put out to pasture in November. That he then still wasn't after Ross County.... meh. It's done now anyway.

Kent has a glorious chance and misses the target.
Jota has an identical chance and scores.
Typical of the players and typical of our season.

Yes, at one point I thought McGregor was playing left-back for them as had to go so far back for the ball.

The motherwell game at Ibrox, we were cheated as there's no way our goals were offside in that game that were chopped off..

The second Morelos offside goal was a disgrace by Frank Connor.
Yep, that name again.
Yep. We haven't won the league because we've been shit in both boxes.

You could see what their game plan was from the get go. Get the Japanese players to run about like mad and put players under pressure. Blitzkrieg football.
Fortunately we are able to deal with that, their players tired and the game swung massively in our favour, but the rest of the teams in the league either don't have the physical attributes to deal with it, or tactical nouse in order to counter it and ride the storm.

In the first game Sakala’s goal was offside but we got away with it.
Doesn’t take away from the fact we shouldn’t have borked either game - especially the second one 2-0 up at half-time.

Rangers would be a point ahead of Celtic if Scottish football had VAR - the SPFL must vote in new technology
THERE are many reasons why Celtic are six points ahead of Rangers at the top of the cinch Premiership table with five games remaining and in a…

It wasn’t though and we still shouldn’t have conceded two soft as shite goals regardless.

If you go by chances it would've been 9-5 to us. Also bear in mind 2 of their best chances were offside anyways and not included in those stats. The Maeda header was a decent chance and Jota had a free header too. We had the goal, Kent's chance, Sakala hitting the post, Arfield's then Jack's efforts plus 2 free headers by Sakala. We should've won it, possibly by a couple.

As much as we should have won, this article is cherry picking stats. They had more than one chance

One of the Motherwell goals had a blatant offside in it and we had a goal disallowed that should have stood.
Both points about our defending and the decisions are valid

Sign a reliable, 20-goal a season player next year to rotate/play alongside Alfredo.

We haven't been clinical ,but I feel the loss of Helander for huge parts of the season and MacGregor having a poor season .is more the reason we have dropped points at times Hagis ability to create has been missed ,Aribo and Kamara have played to much football recently and Davis Jack and Roofe have all been missing at times , the disruption of Gerrard and his staff leaving when they did was unhelpful to say the least ,

50 against 49. The other 1% was Beaton removing the beach ball.How do you get 1% between teams on posession?

We could have easily been 3 down, or could have have won it 4-1...
