After a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Kilmarnock, Glasgow Rangers find themselves falling six points behind the top two teams in the Scottish Premiership. Philippe Clement’s squad struggled to make an impact in the final third throughout the match, ultimately conceding a late goal to Marley Watkins.
Central defender John Souttar, typically dominant throughout the game, made a crucial error in the 87th minute allowing Watkins to score. Despite winning most of his physical duels and having a solid passing performance, Souttar’s mistake proved costly.
On the attacking front, Cyriel Dessers failed to make an impact for the Light Blues. Losing possession multiple times and struggling to complete passes, Dessers’ ineffectiveness was evident. With zero goals, assists, or key passes, he was outperformed by Souttar in his defensive role.
Overall, Glasgow Rangers will need to bounce back quickly from this defeat to stay in the title race. Both Souttar and Dessers may need to step up their performances in order to secure their spots in the starting XI moving forward.
