“Passenger” Sheyi Ojo lambasted by members of the Rangers support

Rangers winger Sheyi Ojo has routinely come in for criticism since joining the Gers on-loan from Liverpool.

A lack of heart, drive, commitment and passion has been combined with meek displays and a real feeling that the player won’t go that extra mile for the side.

It’s a feeling which has been exacerbated by yet another woeful performance by Sheyi Ojo in a high-pressure game for Rangers.

The patience of the club’s support is wearing thin when it comes to the player, who hopes to earn a Nigeria cap whilst at Rangers [Scottish Sun].

On current form, he’ll be very lucky to even be on their radar.

Despite showing flashes of what he can do – the screamer against Feyenoord and the double v FC Midtjylland perhaps the best examples of that – he is too often a passenger.

An empty jersey who shows little commitment to driving the team forward and someone who appears to be arrogantly playing in his own little bubble.

Whilst James Tavernier’s truly woeful performance bore the brunt of the criticism from Rangers fans, Ojo was next on the list.

The player’s form has taken a particular dip in the last few matches and Steven Gerrard must now be considering his place in the starting XI.

Even if there is some kind of agreement with Liverpool, you can’t jeopardise results by starting a player who doesn’t look willing to dig in and create when the chips are down.

If he’s to make it at Ibrox then he needs to bring more to the table on a consistent basis.
