Ally McCoist brands Rangers flop Ryan Kent LAZY as he blasts lack of spirit and fight after Ajax thumping
It was a night to forget for Rangers in Amsterdam as they kicked off their Champions League group stage campaign.
It was the Ibrox outfit's first time dining at European football's top table in 12 years as they took on Ajax away, but it was certainly as tough as test as some predicted it would be. The Light Blues were up against an unforgiving Dutch side who showed exactly why they took the top seed in the section. But the visitors didn't put up much of a fight, displaying another below par performance in front of the eyes of Europe.
It was a painfully familiar scoreline on the back of the Old Firm flop on Saturday. Two 4-0 defeats on the bounce is certainly not something Rangers are used to. And the Govan side still have huge challenges ahead in the competition. Napoli make their way to Glasgow to meet Gio van Bronckhorst 's men before a double header against Liverpool. It could be a long few weeks, with lots left unhappy after tonight's display.
Here is what the pundits had to say following the final whistle at the Johan Cruyff Arena.
The striker legend was unhappy with Ryan Kent straying into an offside position before setting up Borna Barisic for his goal that was ruled out by VAR.
“If you’re a winger or a wide man you look across the line, particularly when the ball is not on your side and is coming in at an angle. The ball travels 50, 60 yards. Get yourself on. It’s just a matter of running an extra yard. It’s laziness. He can play, there’s no doubt about it but it’s a mental laziness not to go the extra two yards and it ends up costing your left back and a your team-mates a great goal.”
And on the insipid display he said: “The dream turned into a nightmare. Anything that could have gone wrong did go wrong.
