Rangers secured a crucial 2-1 league win over Dundee on Sunday which keeps our title dreams alive, just as though many thought they were slipping away before Connor Goldson scored a late winner.
Yet again, the players appeared to have a Euro hangover and struggled throughout the contest as Dundee scored early on to really test the Ibrox side’s resilience.
James Tavernier missed a penalty on what could only be described as a potato field before Aaron Ramsey notched a crucial equaliser. It was then left for Goldson to score arguably the most important goal of the season to date as he netted in the 86th minute to secure a vital win.
Aaron Ramsey could be vital during the final two months of the season
Much was made of Ramsey’s move to the Gers on deadline day and how much of an impact he would have, keep him fit and he could be a title winner. It hasn’t worked out like that so far, but after his performance yesterday, we could just be about to see him hit peak form as the season comes to the crucial stages.
He scored his first goal for the side and his class was evident throughout. It was a real coup signing him and although it has taken a few weeks to get him up to speed, it could be a move that pays dividends.
Kemar Roofe needs to be starting more often
Roofe recently came off the bench to score the winner against Aberdeen and surely, he needs to be featuring more for the club as the season approaches the final stretch.
Gio should have started him instead of Arfield yesterday but hopefully, we can see more of him in the next few weeks. The forward is always itching to get involved and has netted some crucial goals in his short Rangers career already.
Rangers Euro hangover hits again
With the Ibrox side into the quarters of the Europa League, there are going to be two domestic clashes following these ties in April.
The club simply cant keep suffering these hangovers, especially if we are aiming for glory on all fronts.
It is difficult going from the high of qualification to playing bottom of the league three days later, but these are the challenges Gio faces and will need to adapt to quickly.
Meanwhile, Rangers star James Tavernier has hailed his sides character following the victory against Dundee.
