Dessers gets caught under the ball a lot, doesn't he? That's a couple of almost free headers, quite close to the goal, that he's put over the bar. He does the hard work in creating the space for himself.

With Tamundo and Sima coming on it's now a flat 4-3-3.

Fotmob have us playing a 4-2-2-2 today:

No Hagi at all... 👀

The Hazard link is complete nonsense. It's based on some WhatsApp message doing the rounds. Although, I did say the same about Ramsay...

£4M sounds a little low, to me. How much did we buy Hagi for?

Welcome to Rangers Eden Hazard!

I presume Souttar will replace Souttar. Its a shame for Souttar because Souttar has been good. But Souttar is better than Souttar so it would be good to get Souttar, and Souttar can be back-up to Souttar. Or, Souttar can play beside Souttar.

RANGERS are today pleased to confirm the appointment of James Taylor as the club’s Chief Finance Officer from September 1. https://www.rangers.co.uk/Article/rangers-appoint-james-taylor-as-chief-finance-officer/3BcmlGFIMGAg19K8tLaP2p

Ross County 1 - 3 Rangers FGS Dessers

Ross County - Rangers

I doubt it: Sangare was their sitting midfielder; I'd expect our midfield to be zonally covering him, but they were all attracted to the ball. The dummy was superb, though.

Did you know Hibs beat us in the 2016 Scottish Cup final... ?

Ross Wilson. Genius.

I don't know about CB, but the DeBoers? Robby and Ross McCrorie weren't on the pitch at the same time, iirc. Andy Goram... ?

I think the result is colouring the performance. I lost count of the number of posts on here complaining about the performance of the team and several individuals. I think we defended well, though. We restricted them to longer, low quality shots (their xG was 1.24 compared to our 1.08 for the whole game despite having double the number of shots). I still think our pressing needs to improve: it's too disjointed and easy for teams to play through us. I saw Dessers moaning a few times because he wasn't being backed up in the press. I don't mind the fact we had 162 passes to their 519, but we need to be better in offensive transitions. Our passing accuracy was only 62%; that's 40% of passes going nowhere. When we countered successfully it was actually quite effective, as we saw towards the end.

What are your thoughts, folks?
