Rangers' 2-0 win at Aberdeen kept Danny Rohl's side in touch with Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts.

Thelo Aasgaard and James Tavernier scored as Rangers beat Aberdeen 2-0 for the second time in the space of five days.

Celtic's 4-0 win over Dundee United and Hearts' 1-0 victory at Dundee, meant Rangers were under pressure to win at Pittodrie.

Rangers have won five league games in a row, but Rohl is grinding out wins and still needs to get the best out of one star.

Djeidi Gassama 'poor' in Rangers win

Rangers' appointment of Rohl as manager was met with the expectation that the performances of Djeidi Gassama would improve at Ibrox.

Gassama had worked under Rohl at Sheffield Wednesday previously, and the forward has been a regular starter under the German at Rangers.

Rangers have no interest in selling Gassama in the January window, but fans want to see more end product from the 22-year-old.

Supporters believe Gassama was quiet against Aberdeen, claiming that the Frenchman winning the penalty which Tavernier converted in the 74th minute was the "only thing he had done."

Moore ghosted most of the game was alright last 10 clearly struggles with physicality Gassama is 2 different players on the left and right when Gassama was on the left for about 1 minute he won a penalty tells you everything

Not a big fan of Gassama either, spends most of the games throwing himself on the floor

Rangers need to sell Gassama , he’s rank rotten

Gassama has been poor for 70 minutes

Goes over to the left for one attack and gets us a pen 😭

Might be time to play him in his position

Really not seeing what Gassama brings to the team. A man down and very lazy.

If there are clubs seriously interested in signing Gassama in January & we can make a profit on him, sell him. He isn't cut out for Scottish football & goes missing in most games. When we do get the ball to him, he either gives in straight back to the opposition or falls over

Why is Gassama still on the pitch?

The amount of times Gassama gives the ball away so cheaply and puts us on the back foot is criminal
