*****The Official Rangers v Union Saint-Gilloise Thread*****

[Misteral 2,932]

Some stupid passes but was praying we'd be ahead at HT so well happy. C'mon Rangers we can do this.  

[siamthedanger 2,867]

Sands needs hooked. Not just cause he’s shite but he’s on a yellow as well. 

[bluenoz 31,285]

I'm not listening to people doubting James Sands anymore. He's a solid player. 

Let's see if the Belgiums have the bottle. That goal will surely rattle them.

[Jakes Pal 5,675]

Wee bit of poetic justice at the stupendous idiocy of that penalty.

[BlueThunder 8,454]

We have a chance - we deserve the lead- but we will have to up our game. This team are well coached and are obviously trying to get someone sent off.

If we can level it then keep the head and get Alfie on. Talking of keeping the head, Sands needs to be very careful.

No matter what happens Borna Barisic is no use in a game we need to chase.

This is a myth.  It was his ball that led to the pen and if we get Alfie on then Borna's ability to cross from deep could be vital.

Barisic needs to get past Kent. It’s so easy for them to triple up on him otherwise. Or Barisic can drive himself as it’s always on for him. 

Barasic hasnt the balls or drive.

I crave another bassey.

Hope the young turk gives us that.

Some good stuff being played by us tonight

It is up to a point mate. It feels like we get so far then run out of ideas. Apart from the pen the only chance I remember creating was the Colak header. Still struggling from open play.

Need to dig in but we can do this.

Kent clearly isn't fully fit

Not really an excuse for continually giving the ball away and running directly into the opposition though 

[RobertN 393]

Thank fuck will take that 

Bit disjointed and isolated but the effort was there at the start

Some suicideale  passing in midfield  and last ditch tackles though thought the Tilman tackle was a VAR pen

We've done ok without being brilliant. Lawrence was excellent for a good chunk of that half.

Arfield has to come off at HT or soon after.

Can’t wrap my head around starting him. His value is as an impact sub and that’s the only way he’s worked in the last 18 months. When you start him he just vanishes!

Kent off for me , we cannot play with a winger who cant beat a player , guy has been fuckin shocking.

Thing is, we're being too predictable again. Almost all our attacks are coming down the left and Kent has 2, sometimes 3, players on him. We need to mix up our attacking play - go central, go down the right flank. When the opposition can't overload on their right side Kent will get more space to attack.

How the fuck do we get into our half from a throw in level with their box. 🤦

i'm still wondering how a corner we won from the keeper save resulted in a throw in

A must be watching another game , they dont look rattled to me. 

[dummiesoot 16,118]

Surprised only 2 minutes injury time the way they have fallen over and stayed down

Why has davies not had minutes yet? Our 4 million pound defender?

[RDB14 2,809]

I'd be tempted to bring off Sands tbh.. he doesn't fill me with confidence.  He has made some absolutely excellent 50/50 tackles in that half but he is just one mistimed challenge away from being sent off. 

If that shite pen hadn't been given against us last week then we'd be level now.  

[The Specky Forum Organiser 66,404]

The intensity has been what it needed to be, wee bit more quality and we'll be fine

Lawrence has been excellent

He's too scared to go past him.

Good when in possession. His timing for tackles ain't great.

Idk from what I mind he only had 2 dodgy challenges, the one near the end of the half where he fucked it but probably shat it as he's on a card and the tactical foul that he got booked for. Doing OK otherwise imo

[demise 3,574]

To be honest some good spells, but in reality its the maximum we couldve gotten from the 1st half. Hopefully some changes are made and Alfie comes in soon. Crucial goal in the right time where they were actually getting a hold of the game. Hopefully we come in firing on all cylinders 2nd half. Mon the Gers!

Shut up haha. It's no a fucking myth. Every time he's been in possession he's went back the way or sideways. He played that cross from so deep because he's not getting far enough forward.

[Vision 16,782]

I'm a bit concerned about Kents fitness or is he just frustrated. Hoping the lads get a second wind as they put a hell of an effort in there. 

Gio will need to be careful with the subs.

It was definitely outside the box, not even on the line ( which would be a penalty ).

[G.E.C. 19,097]

Barisic is putting in some decent balls
