Rangers player ratings vs Falkirk: Jayden Meghoma finished as Danny Rohl escapes
Rangers continued their magnificent goalscoring record in the 6-3 win against Falkirk on Sunday afternoon, but it was far from straightforward.
The Bears couldn’t have started worse at the Falkirk Stadium, falling two behind as Danny Rohl could only watch on in disbelief.
Tochi Chukwuani scored late in the first half, with the break kicking off a sensational 20 minutes.
Youssef Chermiti, Nicolas Raskin and Bojan Miovski all scored, but a Calvin Miller penalty set up a nervy ending for the travelling Gers.
Chermiti and Miovski would ease those nerves with a fifth and sixth, as Rangers go back up to second in the Scottish Premiership ahead of the split.

Youssef Chermiti dreadful, but still somehow scores two
My word, Chermiti may be the most infuriating footballer seen in a long time.
Somehow, the Portugal youth international has scored some sensational goals this season, but his ability to look like he’s never seen a football in his life is actually incredible.

| Minutes | 90 |
| Shots (Goals) | 5 (2) |
| Lost possession | 11 |
Replays did show he was offside, but how he didn’t hit the target from a James Tavernier free-kick was shocking, but he somehow went one step further.
Two down at the time, Rangers had a three-versus-two situation, only for his attempted pass to Djeidi Gassama to trickle about five yards to the defender ahead of him.
But, with a half-time talking to, he comes out in the second half and scores the equaliser within minutes, tapping home expertly after a great near-post run, before smashing home a second later on.
The striker certainly needs to be studied.
Jayden Meghoma is finished at Ibrox
Rohl had no choice but to use Meghoma with Tuur Rommens injured at left-back, but the Belgian is desperately needed after the break.
The English left-back is on loan from Brentford, but he simply can’t defend, and that has been exposed way too many times this season.
He somehow missed the ball before Ben Broggio slotted home with the defender left on the floor, and he was also booked in the first half after messing around in possession.
His weakness was the same against Dundee United, too.
Not only was he consistently passed with ease, but he offered nothing going forward, either.
Should Rommens be fit for the Scottish Premiership split fixtures, Meghoma simply can’t play again this season.
