Guest Lloyd72 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 PEDRO CAIXINHA was pleased with most aspects of Rangers’ play against St Johnstone, but again called on his side to be more clinical. St Johnstone goalkeeper Zander Clark had a superb game in goal, denying Jason Holt, Martyn Waghorn and Niko Kranjcar with a string of superb stops, with Gers also having a number of other chances to put the ball in the back of the net to win the game. At the other end, Gers were rarely troubled, and Caixinha believes his side are in a good place ahead of next Thursday’s Europa League qualifier with Progrès Niederkorn. The Ibrox gaffer, speaking to RangersTV.tv, explained: “It was a good performance, and a good performance within the total domain and control of the game, especially in the second half where I don’t even remember St Johnstone crossing the halfway line. “We had a lot of control of the game and we were much more aggressive attacking spaces in the last third against a team that was much more concerned about defending as we pushed them to defend, and that’s a reality we need to face. “The goalkeeper made three or four fantastic saves when supposedly the ball should have ended up in the goal but he saved, but that is football and that is reality. We are happy with the performance, we are happy with the process and we know in this last week we are going to put everything in the right place in order to give our supporters great happiness on the 29th. “We expect Ibrox to be crowded supporting us and being happy about our return to Europe after such a long period of time.” Having played three friendly matches now with no more to follow, Caixinha believes his side are where they should be ahead of their first competitive game next week. He added: “It is exactly what we were expecting. If you have a closer look, the only thing we didn’t like from these last two matches was the last third. We need to improve definitely there and all the rest I am really, really happy with.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or try Hardie and bring him on ...he already knows what Waghorn can do (we all do) so what is he gaining? This is obviously his starting team for next week and it should be fine....but a big crowd and Waghorns bottle are never a good combination.

giffnockger 4,840 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Don't really know what to think of this. Hopefully another game for Thursday then we take it to Progres from the beginning.

STEPPS BOY 73,141 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Holt couldn't get a game towards end of last season yet seems to be starting. Waghorn up front and Miller on wing is absolutely piss poor by manager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 73,141 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Not a big fan of Mckay but he brings a lot more to team than Holt, Waghorn or even Miller on wing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dado'sMulls 2,592 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Glad Pedro recognises that we'll be up against packed defences more often than not and is trying to find ways to break them down, something Warbz seemed to take for granted. I'd start the Goalador against Progres an aw, Waghorns a donkey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think maybe there was scouts watching and Waghorn was in the shop window rather than he's still in Pedro's plans . Here's hoping anyway!
