I just think second half, Celtic came out with their tails up, moved the ball quicker, seeing where they could cause problems for that, down that right-hand side of the Rangers, which it's clear to see, I think Hart's done the same thing on Monday, and just kept working the ball there, and asking questions, and then in your box, listen, Maeda, he ain't the easiest guy to pick up, there's no going out, he always gets across his man, he gets a fantastic, fantastic goal to put Celtic ahead,
But once that goal went in, the heads went down.
As I said, Mikey Moore, the only one showing real personality to go and get the ball and try and go by a guy.
Out with that, it all fell to pieces.
And it looked like a team of strangers at times, especially in that second half, considering there were some really good parts that were well in the game in the first half.
but it's nothing that we haven't seen all season regarding Rangers can't put 90 minute performances together and three defeats in a row at the time where you're having to produce your best football or at least football that allows you to go and win games it just hasn't been good enough and you can look at selection you can look at shape all that sort of stuff but I think the big concern for me is the amount of money spent and the lack of quality that goes with it Rangers have lost two games prior to the split two games in 33
first and foremost personnel for me I think we can all probably agree on that we're surprised that James Tavernier started today knowing that Celtic would obviously target that area of the park I think you look at Monday night didn't defend well didn't come out covered in glory if I would defended that and then soon as questions asked same again so I think first and foremost personnel Raskin's out injured so Barron has to come in he works hard and he gets about
But long term, I don't think he is the answer in the midfield for Rangers.
For me, outwith that, Mikey Muir and Jeremy have pass marks for me.
Rawmans at times looks to get forward, but they don't.
nothing's really deliberate in how they play it's when they did when Celtic did obviously take the lead Rangers started pumping it long and it became second ball Celtic scooped everything up and just and just worked the ball and were patient with it and then they then go and get a third and Rangers were bereft of any idea or imagination out with that or out with Mikey Moore taking the ball in the half turn and amongst the bodies trying to go and create for Rangers out with that nobody stood up to the floor and wanted to be the guy to take responsibility and go and create and go and show a bit of personality
so, a lot of it is on Danny Rowe, and he doesn't change it, Gasama comes on, and that's where we're at, we spoke about it at the top of the show, didn't we, with Scovallson, Gasama, Ant-Man, not good enough, and money has been spent, so, it does have to, I take into account, tactical stuff, he was tactically outdone in the first game, against Motherwell,
Second half, and then they get back in the game.
They don't manage the game.
Hearts, they were okay in the first half.
Second half, tactically out-thought again from Derek McInnes.
Can't get back in the game, lose the game.
Today, personnel would have been the question on everybody's lips at the start of the game.
Second half came out and doesn't have the answers.
So there will be pressure on Danny Rowan.
