Rangers v Motherwell 05/09/2026

Strangely I’m disappointed that we never managed a goal today, I don’t know why but I thought we’d have made a decent chance and scored but hey ho we move on.

That just did not feel right at all today, we lacked the speed we have been playing at and we were really slack, really frustrating that we didn’t give a good account of ourselves. Rangers are not good at all yet they should really have scored about 5 goals. 
the break comes at a good time as we look knackered.

Haven’t seen it today apart from last 20 so might be wrong 

 

last season we had the balls to go to ibrox & have a go, last 20 minutes I seen didn’t look like that 

 

starting Charles cook up front didn’t suggest we were having a go when I seen the lineup ( might be a reason for it that I’ve missed tbf )

Shankland going off was probably to our disadvantage as our passing game would have had him puffing and no way he is pressing Poulsen in same way.  
Still hoping that’s got a few bad performances out of peoples systems all in the one go without, what could have been, a big dent in GD. 

I know im banging on about the mistake but it was hardly a heavy press on goalie, hes literally passed the ball to him, even shankland would have put enough pressure on him

I know stats don’t always tell the whole story in a game but today we made a total of 571 passes but only 164 (28%) of those were forward.

Despite us appearing to dominate possession, too much of it was in our own half and in areas of the pitch where we posed no threat. Rangers had possession where it counts as witnessed by 27 shots and 42 touches inside our box.

Possession is all good and well but if it doesn’t produce and end product i.e. goals then it become a pointless exercise.

I always view anything we get from games at Ibrox and Parkhead as a bonus and that they won’t define our season so long as we take care of business with the rest. COYW.

I hear what you’re saying but keeping the ball means the other team have a lot less chance of scoring but we so need to score goals to win games.

In fairness to Paulsen he's made a decision and the player has anticipated it well. Always a time and place to hoof it from danger though. That could have derailed the guy but in the end he prevented a cricket score. I'll let him off on that basis.

That was his issue, his decision. Had an easy pass to player on his right side, no need to try and fake out the forward.
