Scott Allan blown away by ‘fantastic’ moment he saw in Rangers' loss to Hibernian
Rangers stumbled to a miserable 2-1 loss against Hibernian on Sunday.
The Light Blues were 1-0 down in the 12th minute when Vanja Dragojevic was penalised for a pull on Jason Kerr.
The incident was controversial, only given after a VAR check, and it pushed the winds out of the hosts' sails.
Youssef Chermiti and Lawrence Shankland both missed chances, and the Gers ultimately walked away with nothing, after Callum Wright's winner.
It is no wonder that they are trying to bring in attacking reinforcements, but Derek McInnes' side could have went level in the second half.
It leaves them with just one point, and the visitors well and truly deserved all three points.
What had Scott Allen mind-blown in Rangers' loss to Hibernian
The former Hearts man was already involved, when he picked up the ball just a few yards from goal around 75 minutes into the clash.
Adam Mayor produced a stunning block to deny the Scotland striker, keeping his side's lead in tact in that moment.
Alasdair Lamont was on commentary for the contest, and he said: “How has that been blocked, incredible saving challenge, the saving challenge from Mayor was incredible.”
Scott Allan, the former Celtic midfielder, was blown away by the block, saying: “It really was, yes it’s been brought back, but that is as good as a goal, what a block that was, Lawrence Shankland, seven yards out, it was destined for the net.
“That’s everything a manager loves, that’s the sort of last-ditch defending you need to come to Ibrox and get a result. Fantastic.”
Why Rangers' loss to Hibernian proves transfer priority
The result highlights was the Gers are still lacking, a real creative threat.
Daisuke Yokota was lively, taking on defenders and getting the ball in the box but it was not enough
They still need more in the attacking third, if they are to challenge their local rivals and Hearts for the league title.
They have been heavily linked with the likes of Amario Cozier-Duberry and Couhaib Driouech, and you feel at least one of them targets have to come through the door imminently
If they do not, the Bears could find themselves in trouble when it comes to their chances of beating their rivals to the title.
It could be another season of misery, if they fail to get the boss what he needs in the market, regardless of the potential cost, you have to pay for quality.
The pressure is on the 49ers Enterprises group and Andrew Cavenagh to get it done before the window concludes at the very least, otherwise it could be a hammer blow for the G51 outfit.
