*** The Official Kilmarnock v Rangers Match Thread ***

Fairly happy with that but we dropped off in the last 15 min. Need to pick uptake tempo and get a second. Jack & Morelos are bossing it. Give Ojo the ball and he will produce. He hasn't exactly had any service. It is his first game in Scottish football and the internet loyal stick the boots in.

[TMB 14,167]

Ojo is an empty jersey today and needs replaced.  

Barisic needs to be more confident and fire balls in to that box with pace and movement.  Far too often Barisic shows an unwillingness to drive down the line and cross it in to the box.  We don’t want to see a pass backwards - Fire it in!

Katic is so dominant in the air.  He looks a better player now than he did last season.  Starting to think Helander will struggle to get a game in this team.

That was decent from Rangers tbh

People moaning should remember the last 4/5 games on this abortion of a pitch 

Today we have been very slick imo 

Just our finishing letting us down or we would be 3-0 up 

[GersInCanada 7,775]

Not a good first half. Katic did well and Alfredo looked a danger up front but we need to play with more speed and try the pass that might unlock them rather than the safe one.

[Don81 2,837]

These pitches really suck the enjoyment out of games. A disgrace that they're allowed in the top division. Would take 1-0 and just be glad we've one plastic pitch game out the way.

Not going to be 8 then

I’ll take 3 points

Mon The Gers

We have 3 points, they have 3 points. We beat them at Ibrox, we have 3 points more than them and gd matters not one fuck.

[Tomatasauce 1,253]

Poor half considering the expectations of our team this year expected us to look better against a shite killie side who’s hardly even played many pre season games

after half a dozen games we will know if this team look like they can live up to our expectations just got to keep finding a way to win no matter how we play till the scum game that will be the start of our season guaranteed!

[steven33jackie 1,920]

Tav looks a bit isolated playing alongside Ojo very little understanding between them.

[BILLYBOY50 1,638]

Need to be more attack minded in the second half still to many passes going astray and players passing to each other for the sake of passing. Although we have lots of possesion we are not hurting them with it apart from being one up obviously.

[ritchieshearercaldow 22,137]

We just can’t make any space in the box to make passes or take shots, I don’t know how the filth manage it when they come up against a packed defence

[Bluekev 43,942]

Far from outstanding but solid enough first half considering the shite pitch and usual shite officiating. Aribo should try to get involved more and Kamara on for Ojo would make a difference. 

[BlueMe 25,327]

That pitch is playing a huge part in our performance so far imo.

It's making the balls movement unpredictable and some of the players look scared to run on it.

[.Williamson. 82,224]

Very boring game

Couple of golden chance's - have these wanks got a new pitch and then not watered it just for us 🤣

Wait and see the post match interviews. The lawn mower guy will be out. Just like hearts like to do after they play the taigs 😂😂

Ojo missing and want more from Aribo.

Aribo has the talent to attack and take game by scruff of the neck but so far happy to play it back and sideways.

This was the guy SG  said could open up defences no seeing much of that

[adam2102 577]

If people didn’t think we’d miss Kent then the first half proves otherwise. 
 

We will play against teams set up like this all season, we need to be able to run at them and drag them out of position. So far we are too slow and predictable. 

Morelos doing his best and getting absolutely nothing from officials as per  he will end up getting booked imo and the same rubbish rhetoric about discipline will start again  

Docherty on for Aribo. Stewart on for Ojo. 

[Drumloyal 14,967]

Watching these old highlights at HT and the quality of player we had makes me sad.  To compare it with what I've watched for the last 45mins is sobering. 

😞

[Vanoli 4,625]

Still too much side to side, safe passes and relying on crosses. Generally not too bad, was never going to be a pretty one. 

Just need to get a second because i’ve got the fear we’ll drop deep and fuck it again.  

[RangersMedia 35,961]

Ojo has been anonymous so far 

Niko Katic looks like he is our best centre back (ignoring when he tries to play long passes). Absolute monster. 

[BlueAvenger 10,242]

Lots of the ball but we have created fuck all so far.  We need a second to finish these bastards off or it could bite us. Just fuckin win.

This

the pitch looks slow as fuck mate,  that coupled with the fact Kilmarnock are playing with 10 men in their own half’s making it a shite game 

[Smile 26,610]

slow game but one up, Morelos is causing Findlay problems some of the new players are a bit quiet today need more from them.

[Prso's headband 35,459]

Katic is fantastic though 

[Moody Blue Legend 61,481]

Probably give Ojo 10/15 minutes.  I'd be taking him off now.
