Our good run was always going to come to an end . We played well for 20 mins and didn’t take our chances . As much as I hate to say it rangers were the better team and deserved to win . i don’t like picking out individual players , I don’t think it was down to any single player today that we lost . Felt it more that we lacked belief that we could win.

We just have to be patient. The good work that JBA has done so far is astounding. He can’t fix everything at once and I’m surprised by how much he has fixed already. Players are going to have off days, bad spells, good spells and today we had several players with off days yet managed to have slightly more posession than Rangers did and could have been a goal or two up after 20 mins if had a goal scorer. disappointing result but still not a team in the league that we should fear.

Ward….. by a mile

Frustrating to say the least. Another game that if we had a goalscorer we may have hit 4. to be fair to rangers they looked better than I expected and also looked like scoring. Both keepers kept them in the game. Ward I thought was excellent. We just need to beat Celtic and then St Mirren….. that’s all.

I think we will be too (in the mix for a top six finish). But this season and this team has all the look of “so near, yet so far” about them. We won’t get any ‘big’ results like winning today or against Celtic on Tuesday. We saw it the last time we played them at Parkhead in October, 2-1 up yet lost 2-3 in stoppage time. The same with being 3-0 up at Tynecastle in August and clinging on to a 3-3 at the end. We’re a good side, but frustratingly not quite good enough.

I thought it was a penalty om assuming VAR had a look? Why else would he go down in that position.

All very true but I wouldn't lose sleep over this result. It was always extremely likely and Rangers will finish the season well clear of us. The bottom line is that we just weren't good enough. Our lack of clinical finishers is costing us dearly but everyone knows that. I'm stil very hopeful that we'll be in the mix for a top 6 finish. Tuesday evening again is a free hit. Next Saturday is more important.

Would like to see that Fadinger penalty claim again as it looked like there was contact.

Can the Ox play centre-forward? He won’t need to use his knackered hand(s).

Always bittersweet when the keeper gets motm because it's would suggest we took a battering. Far from it. He and Mcginn were excellent today.

Yep! Ward had his best game for us.

Everyone knows we are hopeless up front, Hendry and AP are brutal, stating the blatantly obvious ie if you dont score you wont win any games. I assume JBA knows this as well so i hope we have targets identified to come in during the January window. That said, we are 2 points off 3rd and have just had our only defeat in the last 11 games i think, so we are in a good position. A good transfer window to give us more firepower up front and we can kick on and secure a top 6 finish.

Nothing between the teams. As mentioned, left back to challenge Longelo for his starting place. and goal scorer needed amd we can still be in the mix come the end of the season. just have to beat the other half of the uglies on Tuesday.

That’s another sore one in a season of sore ones. Our glaring weaknesses were exposed yet again. We can’t score goals when it really matters and we can’t shut teams down when they are on top of us.

Difficult place to go. Didn't take our chances first half. Decent performance though and had more possession which is incredibly rare at Ibrox. They took their chance when it came. Not a lot on it

Even if you combined AP, Hendry and Osong they would struggle to make the grade. It cant continue. Play cooke through middle until we bring someone in.

Good first 20mins. Had to take the chances. Said and Longelo not good enough defensively. Sloppy start to 2nd half really cost us. Hendry is not good enough full stop. Sterling handball, Fernandez on Sparrow and Fadinger at the end would all have been penalties in our box. I think we are 2 or 3 good signings away from a strong fibish to the season. LB, ST and another midfield option.

Ward by a mile. He did not deserve to be on losing side.

I know ive went on about it, but Longelo offers nothing. He cant cross or pass a ball. His defending and tracking back is awful. Compare him to Johnny who always busts a gut to get back. Longelo and our failure to take decent chances cost us today.

Only one choice, Ward

Longelo has went downhill a lot imo and slatts poor again .

Frustrating stuff. Alternative left back and a striker that can finish his dinner in January please.

Ward.

Here's hoping Santa has a striker or two he left in the bottom of his sack. Take your pick...

Three points dropped after we gifted them a cheap 1–0. We were shite in the final third and full of laziness and individual errors today. Exactly the result we deserved. Credit to Ward and McGinn though, both were good.
