Jack rightly MOTM on RTV but could have been four or five others

Where did that come from?  Brilliant Rangers.  The effort, the movement, determination and skill aplenty.

Played like that at Tynecastle too recently

After such a cool and sound performance, the only thing that gets you down is that these chaps were capable of it all season, but ...

 

Then again, Raskin and Cantwell have been a revelation, driving the midfield on. Jack is back to his best and the defence is settled. Sakala and Colak form a fine striking partnership, Kent at his industrious best. Tillman and Hagi to come, if everyone's fit and we pick the right team, this looks good.

Easily our best football of the season, bit composure in front of a goal and could have been 8

Ryan Jack was immense, Cantwell and Raskin are becoming great signings

As we have all said countless times since - God only knows why Cantwell and Raskin didn't start at Hampden

I haven't seen that level of fluidity from us for a long time, even in the games we have done well this season. It clicked, Jack completely dominated play with Cantwell and Raskin. Kent brilliant, but still beating himself in the end at times. Sakala was magnificent and forming a great partnership with Colak, and thank god Colak is back! However, we need to keep this up. The title may be out of reach now as that mob just can't stop winning, but if we can find the same intensity and desire each game I'd like to think we'll take some points from them and make them sweat to the end.

With Jack, Raskin and Cantwell marshaling the midfield and Kent given the free role, we played some wonderful football. 

 

Fashion may not be everyone's cup of tea but in games like these his pace and directness stretch teams and he is a great outlet. If only he could bring composure to his game (as he did for his goal).

 

I may have to take what I said about Colak back, he may be able to fir into MBs style and system and there is no doubting he knows the way to goal.

 

Jack got RTV MoTM but it could have gone to one of five or six players. 

 

Also shout out to the traveling support who played their part.

Sounds like I’ve missed a good performance. Sakala starting to put up real numbers. Will be interesting to see if it is maintained over a longer run in the team.
