Rangers official media partner reacts to incident v Dundee
Heart and Hand were left fuming as Dundee scored an early goal through Amadou Bakayoko in the first half v Rangers.
However, their lead was shortlived as Philippe Clement’s side fired back and scored three in the first half itself.
Gers ended up winning the game and picking up the three points but suffered an early scare at Ibrox on Saturday, 9 December.
Via Twitter, the club’s official media partner wrote, “Dundee take the lead, Rangers don’t deal with the 2nd ball at a setpiece. Dundee might have already been ahead. Rotten start from Rangers.”
Not impressive
Rangers’ recurrent struggles with conceding early goals, particularly from set-pieces, highlight a concerning trend that jeopardises their ability to start games on a positive note.
Consistent lapses in dealing with second balls at set-pieces indicate defensive vulnerabilities and a lack of focus during critical moments.
To build a sustainable side, Gers must address these issues promptly, emphasising defensive organisation and concentration from the opening whistle and Philippe Clement certainly will play a major part in this.
The inability to control proceedings early on creates unnecessary pressure and forces the team to play catch-up, disrupting the rhythm of their game.
Sustainable success demands a solid foundation and a team capable of navigating the challenges from the start.
By shoring up their defensive resilience and improving their concentration levels, Clement’s side can establish a more stable platform for sustained success, demonstrating their commitment to long-term excellence rather than having to come back from a deficit every now and then.
In other Rangers news, the club may now rekindle the transfer interest in a ‘Dynamic’ central midfielder amid a recent behind-the-scenes coup.
