“KILL”I JOYS

The game was played as if it meant nothing, at a pace that meant nothing and with a lethargy that meant nothing and a lot of that is true although today did mean a lot to three players, especially, who will never grace the turf of Ibrox again in a competitive manner. For Prso, Klos and Rae this was to be there last bow in front of the Ibrox faithful and one, that in the end, for one reason or another, none of them actually managed to take part in.
Prso was the main figure of attention after an excellent spell in which he showed an appetite and dedication to the cause that not one foreigner will ever better. It is easy for the short term memory to forget the unbelievable saves and professional conduct of Klos also and to round off the trio the unfortunate nature of Rae’s time at Ibrox where, after a very bright start, serious injury marred his time with the club. Not one of these players will be forgotten though because at the end of it all, they all pulled on the jersey and battled for the same cause, the cause of Glasgow Rangers!



Today’s Team :-

McGregor: - Could only stand and watch as Naismiths volley flew past him. Apart from that, he collected a few crosses and commanded his area ok.
Rmed Verdict :- 6

Murray: - Steady and reliable in place of the suspended Hutton and will always be a good replacement but you can never see him claiming either of the full back slots as his own.
Rmed Verdict :- 6

Ehiogu: - The big guy even had time to do a wee overhead flick on the touchline so slow was the pace of the game. Generally reliable though.
Rmed Verdict :- 6

Weir: - Having recently passed his 37th Birthday he still looked composed enough in our rearguard. Will be disappointed to have lost the goal though.
Rmed Verdict :- 6

Papac: - Proving to be an able left back until he was skinned just before there goal. Will have another season to come to prove himself to the Ibrox faithful.
Rmed Verdict :- 5

Novo: - Gave the team the only real bit of pace in attack. Worked the touchline well but never really troubled there back line.
Rmed Verdict :- 6

Hemdani: -Passed the ball around but never had any sign of urgency in his play. A lot of games have flowed beneath his bridge this season and he will be grateful of the summer break.
Rmed Verdict :- 5

Thomson: - Worked his way through the game. Tracked back and made flurries forward but all to no avail as inevitably most of the attacks petered out.
Rmed Verdict :- 6

Adam: - No stunning free-kicks today and like a lot of the players on show he looked like his mind was on some hot beach in Spain.
Rmed Verdict :- 5

Bazza: - The captain struggled to get his chargers into second gear and all too often he was left with no pass except a back ways one which only added to the frustrations of the day.
Rmed Verdict :- 6

Boyd: - Never got a sniff to pile more misery on his old club, in fact he was more than shown up by his ex, but maybe not for much longer, partner in crime.
Rmed Verdict :- 5

Burke (On for Hemdani): - Brought on to add some pace but hasn’t got into any kind of groove this season.
Rmed Verdict :- 4

Lennon (On for Novo): - Given a decent run out and showed some tremendous skill and enthusiasm. Showed the big boys how its done.
Rmed Verdict :- 6 (MOTM One star retires and another is born??)

Shinnie(On for Murray): - Given a run as Walter tried to claw back a draw.
Rmed Verdict :- 4

Smith :- Lost his first game since he returned and although it was a nothing game, he won’t be too happy about losing that record.
Rmed Verdict : - 5


This day goes out to the three departing Gers and may there futures be bright and may they keep the memories of this great club close to there hearts forever.
