Rangers icon Ally McCoist has criticized the club following their disappointing 1-0 loss to Kilmarnock over the weekend, leaving them six points behind both Celtic and Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership race after just eight matches.
With Celtic and Aberdeen both dropping points in a thrilling 2-2 draw on Saturday, Rangers had the opportunity to narrow the gap to just three points with a victory at Rugby Park. However, a lackluster showing saw Marley Watkins score a late winner, leaving Philippe Clement’s team unable to respond and falling behind in the title race.
McCoist, speaking on talkSPORT after the defeat, expressed his frustration with the performance of the Rangers players. Not only was he critical of the players, but he also took a swipe at the club’s internal affairs, suggesting that they appear disorganized both on and off the field.
Describing the Rangers game as having “massive problems,” McCoist highlighted the lack of attacking threat and defensive vulnerabilities in the team. He also praised Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes, noting his tactical acumen and the improvement in his team’s performances this season.
Looking ahead, Rangers face Steaua Bucharest in the Europa League before a crucial home fixture against St Mirren on Sunday. With speculation surrounding Clement’s future at the club, a trip to face in-form Aberdeen could prove to be make-or-break for the Rangers boss.
