Sports'Ponderous', 'Poor', 'MIA' - Bill Young slams 'predictable' aspect of Rangers game vs St Mirren
Bill Young was critical of the build-up play from Glasgow Rangers despite their 4-0 away win in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday.
The Lowdown: Convincing win for Rangers
It was a convincing win for Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s team in the end, which ensured that they kept up the pace with their Glasgow arch-rivals at the top of the Premiership table.
Unfortunately for them, the Hoops won even more convincingly, thumping St Johnstone 7-0 at home on Saturday, and in this kind of form they look very difficult to catch right now.
The Latest: Young unhappy with build-up play
Taking to Twitter, Scottish football journalist Young was critical of Rangers’ general build-up play during the game against St Mirren, despite going 2-0 up at half-time through a brace from Kemar Roofe.
The reporter stated: “Rangers 2 up through Roofe, Rangers have dominated the ball but not the game.
“The midfield is MIA and the build-up play is nothing short of ponderous which allows St. Mirren to get men behind the ball.
“Distribution has been poor and it’s all becoming a bit too predictable sadly.”
The Verdict: Win is a win
After winning 4-0 in the end, many Light Blues supporters will not be too worried about how well they played, as getting the three points was the most important thing.
However, for all of the possession that Rangers had (71% in total) they only mustered eight shots on target from 22, around 36% (SofaScore). They actually lost the ball more than the hosts as well, implying that their passing was not always clean and crisp.
Nonetheless, getting the three points was all that mattered, but the Gers will want to play better in their crucial second leg against Braga at Ibrox in the Europa League quarter-final on Thursday night.
