match thread (image) [FT] Rangers 5 - 0 Oxford Utd (Candeias 15; Stewart 32; Mayo 53; Ojo 70; Defoe 89)

[Rousseau 9,373]

McPake taking the piss out of the Oxford defence with a Cruyff turn.

 

Love it!

[Rousseau 9,373]

Our front three, whomever they are, look comfortable on the ball and willing to run in-behind. 

 

Looks promising.

Third goal was a lovely cross in which Mayo got a good header on which the keeper could only block, and as the defender tried to clear he could only hit Mayo who was following up and it got bundled over the line.

 

Fourth goal Ojo took advantage of a defender slip to be clean through and a tidy finish in off the far post.

 

Its all very pedestrian and early pre-season as is expected, but the only one who looks to have picked up a knock was McPake who only played 15 minutes.

 

I take my hat off to the bears who have bothered to turn up today for what has been effectively a training session, the crowd looks  to be about 15-20K which is absolutely amazing. 

[Tannochsidebear 2,314]

A beautiful one-touch passing sequence between Ojo, Jack, Tav and an easy tap-in for Defoe to round things off. 5-0 FT

[Frankie 8,150]

Second half was a bit more disjointed but we rounded a good performance off with a splendid 5th goal.

 

Overall great to see the team back and looking forward to Tuesday night now.

sorry 

I decided to buy the game for a tenner but the quality was no better than a Vipbox stream (no buffering but low res).  It did improve second half.

Size of the crowd please
