“Rangers got into plenty of good positions in the pitch. Fabio Silva, there was (a chance) in the second as well and he was sleeping. When you get into those positions as a forward player, you’ve got to get on the move and make up the mind up of your winger.”Silva, who also came in for criticism after a pretty ’embarrassing’ collection of dives in that 3-3 Celtic draw, has now managed only two goals in 13 league games since joining on loan from Wolves in January. Sima, despite that strike in the Old Firm derby, is yet to really rediscover his pre-injury form, while Roofe has hit the net only twice in the Scottish Premiership since the start of 2022/23.“You are talking about big players stepping up,” says Boyd, who was also criticial of Cantwell, Tom Lawrence and second-half substitute Cyriel Dessers. “Cantwell, what has he done tonight again? Lawrence? You are looking for more.“I think Sima – yes he is coming back from injury – but you are looking for more. Kemar Roofe, again, he’s not played football in a long time but Rangers never really created anything for him. He’s a penalty box striker. If you get the ball in there he has shown he will score goals.“Desseres came on and it didn’t really work. From a forward point of view the substitutions were poor. Rangers have got problems at this moment in time.”After winning 19 of their 21 league matches since former Monaco boss Clement took over from Mick Beale in the Ibrox dugout, Rangers are now on a run of one victory in five. It’s hard to think of a worse time for a team to run out of steam, a title which appeared to be within Rangers’ grasp only a few weeks ago now slipping out of reach.
