Let’s face it, Rangers are crap at the moment. Today’s
performance against a competent Hibs was especially crap. Chris
Burke was given the sponsors man of the match but the could have picked
a name out of a hat; no one was any good.
We lost three bad goals and could have lost more. Kyriagos and
Andrews, the heart of the solid defence of last season, look lost
playing together; and neither full back inspires confidence.
The midfield looks lightweight and lacking in ideas. Barry
Ferguson is completely out of touch; not supplying the guile, energy
and drive that he is capable of bringing to the team and there is no
one else with any real class in the Rangers midfield.
For the past couple of months the Rangers forwards have been reasonably
effective but today, they were also crap. Wrong decisions were
made by all of the forwards on show with none of them looking
convincing.
Rangers have scraped together a reasonable run of league results but
without playing really well at any time. The Scottish Cup was our
last realistic possibility of winning a trophy this season. With
that gone, it is going to be a serious struggle maintaining interest
for the rest of the season. We have the Champions League game
coming up but we will be second favourite in that. I don’t have much
confidence and really can’t see us getting through. So, within a
couple of months this season could be effectively over. Maybe we
will catch Hearts, maybe we will stay ahead of Hibs (although we look
like an inferior team) but this is thin pickings compared to our normal
feast.
Rangers are now an also-ran; part of the chasing pack. This
season is an effective right-off. If there are not significant
changes made in the summer, next season may not be any better.
It’s not a good time to be a Rangers supporter.
