So good to have Barisic back, means I don't automatically dismiss corners or free kicks

Candeias and Mccrorrie should never have been dropped

 

McCrorie was suspended, was he not?

Sometimes a player needs to move away and play some first team games at a lower level to develop his game.  Rangers is a tough place to develop as a young player.  The crowd don't always support young players when they're making mistakes, look at the number of fans who were wanting to get rid of McCrorie, Middleton and every youth player that plays somebody will say he'll never make it after his first mistake.

A tough audience, but with a better manager he might have been brought on properly and given some protection - like Middleton seems to be getting now.

Shocking playing surface, how it’s allowed in top flight football is beyond me. If this game is shown around the world as an example of our game then no wonder we get peanuts for the television rights!

Morelos hasn't been sharp enough but did brilliantly to win the ball at our goal,at least if he's having a poor game in front of goal he's still contributing elsewhere.

Not to mention being extremely unlucky to hit the post.

Don't understand how anyone can say that we have been decent

We've been decent for most of the match, not looked great the last ten though which is worrying

[LegendofCoop 17,277]

Katic doing very well against Menga. Don't think he's lost a header yet! Keep it up!!

When was the last time we scored from a corner or a set piece cross?

The mists of time mate.

I just cover my eyes when we get a corner these days, you’d think the amount we get we wouldn’t be wasting them.

They have more home clean sheets than we do

They're no great I agree but if you don't take them seriously they'll take points off you as they did earlier in the season

Honestly mate- if we are at the stage where we are saying that we are making teams like Livingston look ordinary is a postitive then I despair.

Alfie made our goal, he’s been unlucky though.

If you look at Jack's goal the ball does skip up about 10 yards out,random as fuck.

Stadia have to meet a certain standard yet the playing surface does not - very odd

It's Livingston ffs not Barcelona  

But you can be fairly confident our current squad would not make Barca look ordinary.

[Reformation Bear 6,453]

I hope we get into the second half at a really good tempo and put them under pressure...……..and get a quick 2nd goal.   Which is another way of saying I hope we don't come out 2nd half with complacency in mind and dawdle and let them back into the game.   

[the brown brogue 1,909]

Pretty comfortable first half without playing particularly great. 

The long ball after long ball is clearly the tactic for today as it looks almost impossible to run with the ball without it getting stuck on the surface or bobbling away. Of course this negates Kent's best asset so I think there might be a change made there. 

They've offered nothing in an attacking sense so our defence has looked solid enough but I do worry that the longer it carries on at 1-0 the more likely it is they'll sneak a goal.

The fact that Livingston played in the Championship with grass and then went plastic once promoted to the SPL makes it even more galling. It's up to the SPL member  club's to make them a non starter though.

Our passing has been brutal 

We've been winning the ball back well but then we just give it straight back.

Worralls need to punt absolutely everything up the field when not under pressure is doing my head in

He completely dominated/negated Scott Brown in the OF game and, in doing so, won the individual battle which won us the game (in my opinion) 

Fine, not disputing that but he's done nothing today.

Playing surface has to meet UEFA regulations,plastic or grass.
