🚨 Fan Player Ratings | Rangers 4 - 0 St Johnstone @MitchLR is at it again with the player ratings, do you agree or does Mitch need his head rung? 😉 Pandur - 8️⃣ Kept a great line throughout the game rarely tested in the horrible conditions made one really impressive save. Another clean sheet. Sterling - 7️⃣ Really solid afternoon, went about his defensive work really well. Didn't get reckless in going forward in the conditions and stayed disciplined throughout. Fernandez - 7️⃣ Very comfortable afternoon at the back and no real dramas. Helped to offer support when building the attack. Makhanya - 7️⃣ Smooth as you like in the conditions again. Much like Fernandez not a massive amount to do defensively but helped push the line up on the attack while being alert to any possible danger. Penrice - 7️⃣ Played the opening 70 min in at LB before moving into the middle to make space for Rommens. Another kept simple throughout the game and popped up in some good positions going forward. Neil - 6️⃣ A comfortable game in the middle. Was trying to engineer some nice forward play throughout but conditions made that a bit more difficult so failed in the execution a few times. Solid game. Raskin - 7️⃣ Was busy beavering away in the middle winning the ball back and getting into good positions to set others off. Took a couple of rough tackles for the cause but strolled it. Bouanani - 8️⃣ Everytime the ball went to his feet you could see the quality he brings, fantastic footwork and a bit of skill in the locker. Looked dangerous throughout. Min-su - 8️⃣ Played out on the left and looked incredibly comfortable throughout. Made some intelligent runs and had a fair few shots on target, the wait for the first goal goes on but we look to have a special player on our hands. Naderi - 9️⃣ Worked like a Trojan horse throughout the game and looked like he was having the time of his life in those conditions got a goal and assist great game. Kelsy - 🔟 Two goals and a lot of positive movement in the final third. We’re truly looking at the start of a lovely partnership between him and Naderi. 🔄 Substitutes Gassama - 7️⃣ Came on with purpose and got an assist. Just kept going at the defence with pace and speed in difficult conditions. Rommens - 6️⃣ Great to see the Belgian back and getting a good 20 minutes in the legs. Game was already put to bed and much more about sharpness. Godfrey - 4️⃣ Late sub in the 80th, game was done and just brought some freshness. Miovski - 4️⃣ As above, got into some decent positions but unable to capitalise. Chukwuani - 7️⃣ Some chat in the week about being unhappy with minutes. Well made the most of his 10 minutes today with a well taken goal to give the manager food for thought.

⭕️ Fan Player Ratings | Dundee 2 - 2 Rangers @MitchLR marks the team down for a meandering, mistake filled and malingering performance. Pandur - 5️⃣ Not much he can do with either goal after mistakes in front of him. Undone by individual errors. Sterling - 5️⃣ A rare off night from Duj, who looked a half step away from his usual self. Struggled to keep the shape in the backline. Fernandez - 5️⃣ Caught ball watching for the first, unaware of the danger near him. Improved as the game went on but poor overall. Makhanya - 5️⃣ Like Fernandez and Duj, looked a half step off his usual game. Left a couple of gaps at the back as the team pushed forward. Penrice - 5️⃣ Defensively caught out of position several times but not helped by Gassama doing everything but play football. Raskin - 7️⃣ Probably marked up by one but genuinely deserves it with a worldie of a goal. Played well, particularly in the second half. Neil - 5️⃣ Has to drop points due to the error for the equaliser. Almost atoned for the error straight away and laid the ball to Raskin well for the second. A bit of the good, the bad and ugly performance. Gassama - 3️⃣ Some will argue it’s a harsh score some will say it’s not harsh enough. However every time he was given the ball he rarely did anything positive with it. In my opinion it's baffling he played the full game. Had a night to forget. Bouanani - 7️⃣ Scored an absolute screamer in the first half and looked a constant threat throughout the game. Lovely close control and touch blended with positive attacking running. Was tiring before coming off. Min-Su - 6️⃣ Dropped far too deep in the first half leaving Naderi isolated but had a much improved second half. Had a hand in both goals. Naderi - 4️⃣ Starved of service throughout the game and lacked a natural strike partner until it was arguably too late in the game. 🔄 Substitutes Kelsy - 4️⃣ On in the 76th minute and didn’t get many chances to shine as the game was a bit stop start. Curtis - 5️⃣ Like Kelsy on the 76th, got himself into some good positions and got a couple really good crosses in.

Members of the FAB joined other fans at the latest Roundtable yesterday hosted by Chairman Andrew Cavanagh, Jim Gillespie, Fraser Thornton and Greig Mailer. A summary of the discussion is as follows: Andrew Cavenagh’s opening statement was around the start of the season being ‘cup half full and cup half empty’. Expressed significant frustration and disappointment at exiting Europe but that the previous 6 games had been more of what we expected. Nobody at the club is getting carried away and everyone is taking one game at a time. Wants to take the opportunity this season to fully focus on domestic success. Club expressed its disappointment at the decision of Dan Purdy to leave. He’s still working in the background as he works his notice period. Desire from the club to depersonalise the football department as no one person signs players, it’s a collective effort and collective responsibility. Don’t expect much activity in January unless something happens which means they need to go into the market. Focus for the club is on stability & continuity after a volatile first season and the summer. That includes on the pitch and off it and holding for incremental improvement in all areas rather than wholesale changes again. On ownership, Cavenagh outlined that the consortium that owns 51% of the club is led by him, but includes 25 investors, all of whom are known to him or Paraag Marathe. The main investors in the group are Cavenagh, Eugene Schneur, Andrew Clayton, Mark Taber - all of whom are Rangers board directors. The Executive Committee responsible for day to day decision making and running of the club is Cavenagh, Marathe, Gillespie & Thornton. A further share issue will be required later in the season. Cavenagh reiterated that there is a significant amount of capital available to the club, but that as investors who are ultimately looking for a return on investment, continually writing cheques makes that more difficult. Ticketing - digital tickets are coming. Currently working through this to have them launched ASAP - subject to consultation and testing. Also working with other clubs are reciprocal away ticket caps - but acknowledged the challenges for clubs that bring small crowds to Ibrox and we receive large away allocations at their grounds. A lot of work has gone in to the Castore relationship to improve commercially and offering for fans. But it’s clear that the club feel they can better maximise retail revenues at the expiry of that deal. Cavenagh repeated his statement from the shareholder meeting that he would not have signed the current deal in terms both commercially and legally. 1/2

Player ratings vs Kilmarnock @MitchLR With this week's fan ratings 👀 Pandur - 7 - good strong afternoon, chalk down for the late goal which was little his fault. Commanded his box well. Sterling - 6 - tidy hand from mr consistent this season little to do defensively. Fernandez - 7 - again not much to do defensively first half but had to be alert in the second. Solid afternoon that he sailed through. Makhanya - 7 - similar to manny little to do defensively in the opening half and ensured when legs where tired that by and large the shop was manned. Penrice - 8 - delightful assist for the opener sort of ball that strikers thrive on. Done his work defensively making the exclusion from the national team look even sillier. Neil - 8 - dictated the game in the middle quietly went about scooping up balls and resetting attacking play. Raskin - 6.5 - looked a bit tired from international duty but played a solid game supporting Neil. Gassama - 7 - it’s a very Gassama performance, lots of positivity going forward and making the right moves but the decision making still questionable. Scuffed shot helped Naderi’s second. Min-su - 7 - comfortable and impressive afternoon again lots of attacking flair and ideas you just feel that first goals inching nearer. Naderi - 9 - a well deserved double for a player whose stocks just keep rising. Brilliant on the press and being the right area at the right time while chipping in defensively. Kelsy - 7 - a good afternoon with a goal to boot. It wasn’t the prettiest goal but they all count. Picking up where he left off before the break. Substitutes Nedeljkovic- 5 - played the second half and was just steady. Curtis - 6 - came in for the last 20mins, looked very positive especially going forward, Bouanani,Chukwauni,Miovski - N/A - late subs no time to impact
