Rangers boss Michael Beale has been told he needs to get his side to perform consistently throughout the 90 minutes and four qualities are key to quelling fan dissatisfaction.
Despite a 1-0 win over Motherwell on Sunday, boos rang out again at Ibrox as the Steelers pushed their Premier League hosts to the edge in the dying seconds if James Towers They could have picked up a point when Vinier failed to hook Blair Spital’s shot. A ruthless campaign continues on Wednesday with a Viaplay Cup quarter-final tie against Livingston and former defender Craig Moore believes Bill needs his players to play 90 minutes.
Inconsistency has been a theme in Rangers’ performances this season and the former Ibrox star says getting the most out of his performances is key to their overall goals. He told Go Radio: “If Rangers want to go on and have a chance of winning this season, what they need to try to address and fix as soon as possible is being able to play the full 90 minutes every week. Not 20-25 minutes, that’s also Not enough, which gave Motherwell a 1-0 lead and a chance to go to the end of the game.
“It’s about having chances, getting off to a good start, achieving your goals, and I say goals because you need to kill the game. I think that’s what they need to improve on. That comes from urgency, from intensity, from a controlled attack , confidence. Rangers will continue to improve this season because they are nowhere near where they should be right now.”
Critic Peter Grant thinks Beal is “very happy” with his back five, but there are more gray areas “from center to front.” Moore gave a detailed analysis and insisted fans would like to see more front-foot action at home.
He explained: “One of the interesting things you said, Peter, is that you’re a coach or a manager and you’re still not sure what Rangers want to do. For me, that’s the main problem for Rangers. One.” As far as supporters are concerned, it’s because supporters are all saying the same thing.
“You look at the personnel. Matondo goes off in the game, John Souttar comes on and they go into a back three. There’s no right or wrong for Michael Beal, if it’s something he believes in and he obviously does So here’s the change I made.
“Some supporters have been saying that Rangers’ width comes from the full-backs, so playing three at the back is ‘not bad’ because your width comes from the full-backs and you’re not really playing with the wingers. But more The important thing is to play with three centre-backs, two covering midfielders, you’re at home, Rangers or Celtic, and the onus is on you to attack.
“That’s what the fans want to see and I think they want to see more. I know the width he has as a full-back and I know he likes to get overloaded in midfield combinations and games.” Between the lines, I think a lot of times football terminology and stuff like that is just gibberish because I don’t think the game has changed from when I played. It’s about trying to move the ball as fast as you can from point to point to find space and test your opponents. “
