What a difference a win makes. Castigated and written off a few days ago Rangers are now suddenly back in the game as title contenders according to the Hotline thanks to Saturday’s 4-1 demolition of Aberdeen.
Gio Van Bronckhorst ’s side shut down the big talking Dons despite falling behind early on and put a miserable week that saw them draw with Livingston and lose a fifth successive Champions League away to Napoli. And with the win the pressure on the Dutchman began to ease. For now.
George Wilson, West Sussex, said: “Rangers were superb against Aberdeen and could have had 10. A break for the World Cup should see many of their injured players back and in contention for the league title and the two cups.” Alan McGaw, Alloa, said: “That’s more like the Rangers we know. Aberdeen were lucky it wasn’t six or more. Colak was superb along with Sakala, Lundstrum and Tillman. We need to win our next three games before the World Cup to keep us on track and keep the momentum going.”
