I also don't think they have the pace to hurt us on the counter-attack either.

I think their only hope is to score the first goal and pack the centre of their defence for the rest of the game. In fact that may well be their default defensive position if we manage to dominate possession like we have most of the season so far. Of course, if they pack the centre of defence that leaves plenty of room for Wallace/Tavernier to probe and create space on the overlap.

I can see McKay and/or Oduwa hurting them with their pace, especially if the game is open.
How wrong can one man be?

Quite. Laugh I fully expected Sutton to play up front. Doh

Hey ho, though. We move on.

Funny how all the reptiles are flooding our board tonight. Where have they been for the last 8 weeks or so?

Didnae see that coming,but saint johnstone made rangers look very naive defensively tonight at times and exploited the spaces really well.

They did and i'm sure most teams will look like that over the season. Given this side is basically 3 months old it is remarkable how far they have come!

Yup, as kinda expected, they were found out a little, but all credit to them as they chased the game to the end and came closeon a few occasions. Warbs was right in that if they learn from it then next time they will do better, and sure they will. I think he called them honest, and thats refreshing

Well done to St's for coming to Ibrox and getting the result..... we move on and hope to see the group bounce back.
