Rangers player ratings v Aberdeen: Attacker has a shocker, gets 3/10
By Will Butcher
Football Insider rates the Rangers players out of 10 following their 2-1 loss to rivals Aberdeen at Ibrox on Wednesday night.
Wes Foderingham 9 – Unbelievable performance from the former Swindon Town stopper. Had it not been for the Gers goalkeeper, the scoreline could have been north of five.
James Tavernier 6 – Solid at right-back, as he offered the most leadership in defence. Called the line for the back four, but failed to do anything out of the ordinary.
Aidan Wilson 6 – Looked composed on his debut and comfortable when in possession. But his performance deteriorated from then on in
David Bates 5 – Uncomfortable when in possession, Bates hammered the ball up field when put under any pressure. Dived in needlessly on Graeme Shinnie for the opening goal.
Lee Hodson 5 – Unlucky to be withdrawn after 18 minutes with what appeared to be a lower leg injury.
Jon Toral 4 – Offered little going forward and lost the ball on numerous occasions. Looked lazy and lethargic, failed to have an impact whatsoever.
Josh Windass 8 – Windass seemed to be the only outfield Gers player trying. Playing with a sense of passion, Windass was combative, hard-working but clever when in possession. Top assist for Waghorn’s goal.
Barrie McKay 5 – Non existent. What separates McKay from the best is that he goes missing for entire an 90 minutes, but will turn up next week. Needs consistency.
Kenny Miller 6 – Better than most, but even Miller was quiet against the Dons despite scoring twice against Derek McInnes’ side last time out.
Joe Garner 5 – Missed a sitter early on, as he was fed by Miller before curling an effort round the wrong side of the post when he should have done a lot better.
Joe Dodoo 3 – Just awful. Lost the ball every time the attacker was in possession, no positional sense and failed to provide any kind of an attack whatsoever. Hauled at half time.
Subs:
Myles Beerman (On for Hodson, 18 mins) 6 – Still showing signing of inexperience, but was comfortable on the left flank and showed why he will give captain Lee Wallace a run for his money when the skipper returns.
Martyn Waghorn (On for Dodoo, 45 mins) 7 – Top finish to score his first goal since March 18, which is his 16th goal of the season.
Jamie Barjonas (On for Toral, 58 mins) 6
