Really poor first half in which only really three players turned up , better in the second without really playing decent football . At least pressed and battled like a Rangers team should in an OF game .Game turned into the classic , game of two halves and the subs made a big enough difference that a couple of them may even be candidate for MOTM.
Butland kept us in it first half with a couple of great saves , maybe being a bot harsh but I felt he could have done better at their third goal .That apart he had a terrific game .
Tavernier , hit ball off Maeda to sell the opening goal and his play never improved after that , slack on the ball and weak defensively .Took a great pen especially after he had missed has last two.
Sterling , was solid in the first half and kept his side of the pitch under control , got better as game went on driving forward and saved a certain goal near the end with a great tackle. Great game.
Goldson , gave away a needless penalty , missed two great headed chances , all over the place defensively and over hit every long pass . Really dreadful and looks done to me.
Souttar , struggled with the movement of the scum forwards first half but improved and was much better second when he even managed to come out with the ball. Not great but not bad.
Lundstram , battled away in the first half with no support , misplaced a pass or two but won back lots of possession , dominated midfield second half. Looked up for it but lacked support .
Diomande , over run and outworked by scum midfield , another who misplaced too many passes , improved a bit in the second half before tiring again and being subbed. Disappointing.
Lawrence awful from start until he was subbed ,gave the ball away , committed needless fouls and when he got into good positions , chickened out of taking a shot or diving to head in.
Wright , was mostly invisible and when he did get on the ball just gave it away as usual, his decision making was terrible and he was rightly hooked at half time .
Silva , spent most of the first half diving around , missed a double chance , but won the penalty and drove forward well at the disallowed get , wanted too much time that you don`t get in this game.
Dessers , didn`t trouble CCV at all , took little part in the game , scored the disallowed goal and had a pot shot just wide at the end but generally not good enough.
Sima , made an impact running in behind and turning the defence , got a wee bit of luck with the goal but it was a good hit ,Good to have him back .
Cantwell , injected energy and off the ball running that others weren`t , held up the ball to set up one or two wee chances , should have started.
Matondo , struggled to get into the game but then produced another sensational strike to get us a point . Great cameo .
Dowell , had a couple of great runs through midfield and was unlucky when trying to play Sima through.
Balogun , on for a couple minutes at the end .
Its between Sterling who had a terrific 90 minutes , Lundstram likewise and Butland who made some great saves to keep us in the game . I am going to give it to Lundstram who right from the start looked up for the game and was always trying to push us forward .He showed an urgency that was lacking in others especially first half .
