The atmosphere among Rangers fans and media members turned sour following a disappointing performance in Saturday’s match that effectively dashed their hopes of securing the Scottish Premiership title. With Celtic now on the brink of claiming the championship, Rangers needed a victory in the highly anticipated clash to stay in contention. However, Celtic’s 2-1 win extended their lead over Rangers to six points with just two games remaining in the season.
Midfielder John Lundstram found himself at the center of controversy after scoring an own goal and receiving a red card for a reckless challenge on Celtic’s Alistair Johnston. Lundstram’s display was met with heavy criticism from fans and pundits alike, with many expressing their disappointment and frustration at his performance. His lackluster showing, which included only 16 completed passes and multiple instances of lost possession, led to him being labeled as a “disgrace” and “woeful” by various voices within the Rangers community.
As Lundstram’s contract is set to expire in the summer, doubts loom over his future with the club, especially in light of his recent struggles on the pitch. With his suspension for the remaining games of the season, it appears increasingly unlikely that he will be offered a new deal by the club. The reaction to Lundstram’s performance has only fueled speculation that he may have played his last game for Rangers, with many supporters seemingly relieved at the prospect of moving on from the underperforming midfielder.
