BEARGER 1,829 Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 MORE FOOTBALL OVIE AND OUT Rangers star Ovie Ejaria DROPPED by Steven Gerrard for Villarreal game after turning up late for training SunSport understands Gerrard was livid with the on-loan Liverpool midfielder’s indiscipline ahead of the crucial Europa League clash EXCLUSIVE By Derek McGregor 29th November 2018, 6:45 pm Updated: 29th November 2018, 6:46 pm OVIE EJARIA has been dropped by unhappy Rangers boss Steven Gerrard for turning up for training late on Wednesday. SunSport understands Gerrard was livid with the on-loan midfielder’s indiscipline – making it clear quickly his punishment would be a place on the bench for tonight’s vital tie against Villarreal. KENNY RAMSAY - THE SUN GLASGOW Ejaria arrived at Ibrox this summer on loan from Liverpool The 21-year-old arrived from Liverpool in the summer on a season-long loan. He’s made a reasonable start to Ibrox life, featuring regularly and scoring a crucial away goal against Ufa in a Europa League qualifier. But Gerrard has warned him against any repeat sloppiness 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffer 1,665 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) According to the manager, he was late, and then apologised, so it's case closed. He wasn't punished for being late, and his omission from the team was purely tactical. Edited November 29, 2018 by Gaffer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,195 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I have a suspicion that he wouldn't have played Ejaria anyway. Coulibaly and Jack were always a shoe-in for me as we will need defensive stability against Villareal - and then I think Arfield offers us more when breaking between the lines going forward, something I think we will need tonight. I am not nearly as convinced that this is Ejaria being "dropped" as I am that it is a "horses for courses" situation. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,409 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 If that is true???, then good on SG, however I suspect both Jack & Coulibaly will be needed tonight!. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMAA 3,603 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Gerrard said he was late but it was just a mistake and he accepted that and said he wasn’t dropped, it was a tactical decision to go with a more physical centre midfielder. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Dynamo 128 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I liked our midfield tonight. I'd start those guys vs Celtic all being well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
