“That was unacceptable. I wasn’t assured Rangers might get a consequence tonight. Hopeful, yeah, you may have every thing crossed haven’t you, however realistically, you take a look at the performances this season, take a look at our first half in opposition to Membership Brugge final week, miles off it.

“However what these travelling followers and watching again dwelling count on is a degree of competitors and competitiveness which they didn’t see tonight. They took their foot off the gasoline ever so barely by way of the ending, however the substitutes they introduced on didn’t gradual the sport down in any respect. However by way of the urgency to attain objectives, by way of the extent of ending, it dropped second half.

“Rangers supporters deserve loads higher than the extent of dedication, organisation and willingness to defend that they noticed tonight. It’s a tragic reflection when one of the best participant in your group is the goalkeeper who has misplaced six objectives, as a result of make no mistake about it, if it wasn’t for him – he’s had two or three great saves – that would have been a cricket rating.”

“There’s no males, you want males. And your males don’t should be 6ft 5ins, 6ft 6ins. They only have to have coronary heart, head and a little bit of organisation and need. That’s what males do they usually’re wanting that on this division.

“There’s little question they’ve bought abilities they usually’re a gifted group of people. Are they as gifted because the group that they had final 12 months? I don’t suppose so. They’ve gone again the way in which. However by way of what you’re searching for from a Rangers group, you’re not going to exit and dominate opposition, significantly of that high quality. However you deserve loads higher than you bought tonight by way of a willingness to work for one another.”
