‘Only one who can have any pride’ – Rangers fans rave about one player despite loss v Kilmarnock

Sun 18 March 2018 7:42, UK

Rangers fell to their second successive defeat in the Premiership on Saturday with a disappointing 0-1 defeat to Kilmarnock at Ibrox.

Kris Boyd’s second-half goal gave the away side all three points in a game that couldn’t have been further away from the Old Firm clash the week before.

The grit, determination and passion were missing from nearly all of Graeme Murty’s men yesterday – in fact only one player emerged with any credit.

Greg Docherty was head and shoulders above the rest of the Rangers players and fans were quick to point this out on Twitter.

Here are the best reactions from frustrated Rangers fans:

Docherty for me has been our standout performer and I’m not looking at just our triumphs but even in our defeat he’s played to the final whistle and stepped up to the plate.

Docherty was excellent mate, only one chasing and trying to create. I’m now convinced Bruno is not for us, we seem to be shambolic at the back whenever he plays

Greg Docherty is the only one who can have any pride today. Lad fights for 90 minutes and you can tell it means a lot to him.

I do think we need 2 centre halfs and after that I don’t know where to start as we seem to have a load of centre mids but people want Davis but boys will have to leave… btw Docherty is the only one that can hold his head high tonight

The result leaves Rangers in second place but Aberdeen are now only two points behind and have a game in hand.

It has to be seen as a blow to Murty getting the manager job on a full-time basis, although lifting the Scottish Cup and finishing runners-up in the league could be enough for him.
