Rangers Supporters Share Mixed Views on Performance Ahead of League Cup Final

Following Rangers’ 2-1 victory over Motherwell, which secured their place in the League Cup final against Celtic at Hampden, supporters shared their perspectives on the team’s performance. Ronnie described the win as “another slog” but acknowledged reaching the final. He found Rangers “painful to watch” and emphasized the need for “massive improvement” to win the Cup, noting that Philippe Clement faces “a huge job to turn Rangers around.” Stephen characterized the performance and win as merely “papers over the cracks.” He observed that the “first half was dire” while the “second half was better,” but cautioned that the team “can’t keep doing this every game,” stressing the necessity for “a better tempo on Thursday.” Brian stated that if Clement “doesn’t win silverware this term, it’s time for him to go and he can take Tavernier, Lawrence and Dessers with him.” He asserted that “These three have not been pulling their weight for a long time” and that the team needs “to improve by a long way.” Peter expressed frustration over “watching us miss umpteen open goal chances,” remarking that “you sometimes need a blast of oxygen – it takes your breath away!” He found it “absolutely mind-boggling how high-paid players miss them so easily.” Steven critically assessed the team, stating, “This team lacks everything needed at present. No consistency. No grit. No composure.” He argued that “Rangers can’t keep conceding goals and hope to achieve targets they’ve set themselves,” and questioned why “the tempo isn’t there from the start – same against Killie and Aberdeen,” concluding, “Not nearly good enough I’m afraid.” Phil contended that “Rangers should take no plaudits from this victory,” describing the performance as showcasing “a bunch of gutless, clueless, talentless individuals.” He advocated for the manager to be “shown the door” sooner rather than later, suggesting he “should take most of that team with him.” Lennie described the performance as “another very poor performance against a mediocre team,” specifically highlighting that “Tavernier had one of the worst display I have seen.” He predicted that “this present Rangers team will get annihilated in the Cup final” and expressed dissatisfaction with the manager’s repeated assertion that it “is a work in progress.”
