Match Thread [FT] Rangers 2 (Kent 47; Tavernier pen 52) - 2 Celtic

[Frankie 8,169]

Another Old Firm game where we seem to have no belief. With the crowd's backing/frustration we did start to get ourselves into the game and should really be level. Just can't account for losing such a poor, poor goal. All to play for but we must play with a lot more confidence.

Cheating Beaton has let everything go!!, seems it pays to pressure the refs in the build up to these games

100% this. It’s genuinely embarrassing how much better they are than us on the ball. And yet we’ve been able to “create” chances by introducing as much chaos into the game as possible. 
 

Morelos should come off asap. I’d never play him against Celtic tbh.

Why can't we make a simple 5-yard pass?

 

It's inexplicable. 

It’s what happens when you lack character and conviction. Too many just don’t believe in themselves.

It is atrocious in front of goals, TBH. But that's what happens if you have Kent running about with hardly any effect, no-one runs into spaces or crosses end up behind the players.

 

With Kamara we are effectively a man down. Nothing against the lad, but in games like today he is useless. Jack at least sees the danger in the making and covers. Our creative chap Tillman is isolated and gets no real material to work with, the front three try to press, but behind them there is nothing, so the Scum pass their way out of danger ... and there is that gut feeling that they could score from the odd counter any time.

 

I'd chuck at least three players at half time and bring guys with some heart onto the pitch.

Maeda is showing everything that is missing in Kent. But why oh why do we give the ball away more often than them?

Definitely - as much as we've been poor we should really have scored thtree goals.

 

Kamara is just hopeless at times, Barisic allowing himself to sit far too deep too often and our right back can't run anymore for whatever reason.  Took him 30mins to realise that he has to be touch tight to Maeda or he'll just run past him.

if we create the same number of chances in the second half with Colak on, we could get a result.

Only that Maeda is running down our right side and Tav. TBH, both our fullbacks have been rather mediocre today.
