John Lundstram must never play for Rangers again after what he did v Celtic
John Lundstram’s absolutely woeful performance against Celtic in the Old Firm is an indicator he must never play for Rangers again after the 2-1 defeat.
He let his teammates, Philippe Clement and the fans down and just as Gers were clawing their way back into the game, he made things impossible for them to win.
Gers went down 2-0 in the first half and Cyriel Dessers then made it 2-1 but Lundstram received his marching orders for a silly challenge just minutes after he scored a calamitous own goal.
Rangers midfielder John Lundstram has no excuses for that challenge
The challenge was a potential ankle breaker so he’s really got no justification for doing that and if he wasn’t likely to win the ball, any professional player would be stupid to throw himself into a challenge like that.
His poor decision-making, lack of discipline, and inability to perform under pressure have not only cost Gers crucial points but also their reputation and morale and ended their title challenge.
The 30-year-old’s actions during the match, particularly his red card offence, were reckless and unprofessional, demonstrating a lack of maturity and responsibility on the field.
Furthermore, his contribution to the second goal conceded by Gers is a clear indication of his inability to handle high-pressure situations.
This raises serious doubts about his suitability for the team, especially when competing at the highest level.
Rangers cannot win the league if John Lundstram’s calibre of players are in the eleven
It is evident from his performance that he is not the player Rangers need if they are to challenge for the title and achieve success in the future.
Clement’s previous statement that Lundstram could stay at Ibrox seems to be at odds with his recent performance.
While it is understandable that the Belgian may have wanted to support his player publicly, Lundstram’s display in the Old Firm match suggests that a change is necessary.
Gers cannot afford to have players who consistently underperform in crucial games, and Lundstram’s recent display is a stark reminder of this fact.
Lundstram’s disastrous performance against Celtic highlights the urgent need for Rangers to part ways with him at the end of the season when his contract expires.
