Rangers Review Editor Joshua Barrie on Good Morning Scotland
It was a totally broken relationship and when you get to the point where there’s an actual safety concern, that situation is broken. One win in seven, that’s the type of record you only get away with if you don’t deserve to have that type of record. I don’t think Russell Martin could argue they deserve many more points than that, that’s why he’s not been given time to turn it around.
Former Rangers defender Richard Foster on BBC Sportsound
Rangers are being out-run by other teams in the division and that’s a sad indictment. They were miles off Falkirk today.
Former Rangers forward Kris Boyd on Sky Sports
Rangers looked disjointed and no doubt, anxious in the second half. Something has to change because this is not good enough. They’ve not been to Tynecastle, Easter Road, Celtic Park, Pittodrie, Tannadice or Rugby Park. This is only going to get worse if it doesn’t change.
It’s getting worse. I really don’t know what game Russell Martin was watching there if he says ‘we created chances and we were unlucky not to win at the end’. Where were the chances? I never seen anything. I mean if there was one team going to go and win that game towards the end, it would have been Falkirk. I don’t see it.
Rangers are all over the place at the minute.
Martin there has clearly said you’ve got to have a style to then win games. No you don’t. You don’t. You need to find a way to win games. Getting experienced players in will help you do that. Nobody cares about the performances as long as you walk off there with three points. Nobody cares. You can work on things, they’re getting worse.
The fans are fed up of listening to excuses, he’s on borrowed time.
Former Scotland forward James McFadden
It’s about performance levels where you’re saying Falkirk probably could have had more out of this game today.
St Mirren could have had more out of their game. Livingston could have had more out of their game. Motherwell should have had more out of their game.
So it’s not performances where you’re saying Rangers were unlucky but you can see what’s coming because the performance levels are so high.
I know that it’s a modern way that performance and result go hand in hand, I totally understand that but if you’re getting neither then you need to shift your focus onto one of them.
I think we can all agree that if you’re going to shift it onto anything it would be results rather than performance in the short term because if you’re not winning games, it doesn’t matter how good your ideas are, you’re never going to get a chance to put them across.
