Typical Dessers miss, he will score!. Another penalty denied

How did Dessers miss that chance

Yahoo Robertson in black again, we are really "lucky" with our referees of late ...

Mad how Raskin hasn't been given a chance. The difference in legwork and dynamism between him and Lundstram is pretty stark. He's started well.

Mon the gers.

Given the status of the squad, there's not many surprises there. Manager had to find a balance between risk and minutes for players such as King, Davies, Raskin and McCausland to improve their sharpness. Silva from the bench may allow Dessers a rest as well. 3 points please!

The daily dose of rumours ... Rangers are eyeing a summer move for Ferencvaros winger Adama Traore, according to reports. (Scottish Sun) Rangers in for Ferencvaros forward Adama Traore Adama Traore – the Ferencvaros forward rather than the Fulham one – is reportedly in Rangers’ sights, alongside Sturm Graz and, funnily enough, those aforementioned Cottagers. Africa Foot reports that the 54-time Mali international could leave Ferencvaros after two years and two Hungarian league titles. Traore, who started out at French side Metz but really hit his stride at Sherif Tiraspol, is due to become a free-agent in 2025. As such, Ferencvaros have to sell this summer or risk losing him for nothing later down the line. At 28, Traore is older than the players Rangers have tended to target during the early days of the Philippe Clement and Nils Koppen.

Butland Tavernier - King - Davies - Fraser Diomande - Raskin McCausland - Cantwell - Wright Dessers Subs: McCrorie, Ridvan, Silva, Jack, Sima, Dowell, Sterling, Yfeko, McKinnon In defence, there is hardly any option. Ridvan will probably be spared for the cup final. In the defensive midfield we are a bit "light", Raskin is snappy, Diomande is confident on the ball... but neither of them are physically strong people. Jack may come later for what will probably be his last appearance. I always liked the look of McKinnon, let's see... It's not that much at stake, so rotation is also important in the offensive department with a view to the cup final. McCausland and Wright deserve their chance, with Cantwell and Dessers we have to hope that no one gets injured.

Hearts 1 Rangers 2 FGS: Dessers

FGS McCausland

Just on the face of their age in years, that lineup is 25.3 years old. That's much more like the age profile we need to be getting down to imo, maybe even a year younger than that. We were fielding teams which were getting towards 30 years old as an average at points this season, when you're finishing second that's criminal. Obviously you want the quality married with the potential of the young players and injuries have no doubt forced than lineup somewhat, but it at least looks mobile and athletic.

It's a dead rubber. All eyes on next Saturday.

I’ve seen boys from the late 50s getting played and doing well then disappearing

McCausland has done well in a hard first season when you consider the injuries to himself and the players around him. I look forward to a fitter better prepared version of him after a good pre season, training with (hopefully) new and improved players.

Hearts 1 Rangers 2 FGS : Dessers.

They won’t get dispatched to the sidelines if they’re good enough

A very worrying line-up. we must never find ourselves in this predicament again

Like lots of young players they get a few games then dispatched to to sidelines to make way for the tried and tested duds that managers seem to favour at Ibrox

I'm happy with this, good to see a young side take to the park. Hopefully Fraser impresses - heck, if he does well he could make an appearance in a cup final!

Hearts 2 Rangers 3 FGS: Wright

2-2 Cantwell

Two years ago Rangers sent their apprentice boys to beat Hearts 3-1 at Tynecastle, Lowry scoring and running the show. Whatever became of that likely lad?

Rangers 3-0 FGS Cantwell

I live about a 40 minute walk from Tynecastle and I'd suggest sun cream might be in order for anyone not in the shade. It's scorchio!
