GRAEME MURTY has pointed to the three goals Rangers scored on Saturday as evidence of the quality within the Ibrox squad.
The interim gaffer was delighted with the play leading up to all three strikes at Murrayfield in the 3-1 victory over Hearts, and having looked over what they did in an analysis session on Monday, he hopes the players will repeat those good aspects in upcoming matches.
He explained to RangersTV: “You look at the goals – Alfredo [Morelos] receiving the ball from Ross McCrorie’s pass, and then the pass through into Kenny [Miller] for his finish.
“James Tavernier’s cross for Kenny’s header was top-drawer. Then the move and the pattern, and the way we retained the ball after getting it back from [John] Souttar having pressed really well, and three or four quick passes later, we shifted and changed the angle, Kenny’s through ball for Josh and the finish – fantastic.
“I’ve just told Josh not to take his shirt off again! But other than that, I think we just have to reinforce to the players, when we move the ball quickly, when we are brave enough to go and play, spaces will open up and we just need to do it more.”
Murty explained in his full-time media conference on Saturday that he hadn’t enjoyed the experience of managing the first team as much as he had done on his previous occasion.
And, a couple of days on from the game, his opinion still hasn’t changed.
He added: “No. I was always wanting to know if I had done enough – had I covered that in pre-match? Had I done this, had I done that?
“I eventually managed to let it go and let the players go and do their thing, and trust the players to go and carry it out. But, on the side lines, it is always a test for the emotions.
“I didn’t enjoy it, but I was satisfied by it, and I thought there were a couple of passages of play, even in the first half when we were down, that eased me a little bit as I thought we had it and we were going to come good.
“So, although, it wasn’t enjoyable, it was satisfying.”
