A trio of senior Rangers players have come under fire after their side’s latest slip-up in the title race with Celtic.
The rescheduled match between Philippe Clement’s team and Dundee finally took place on Wednesday night, but the result was a 0-0 tie at Dens Park.
It happened just a few days after Rangers’ depressing 3-2 loss to Ross County in the Highlands. As a result of both games, Rangers now trail their bitter rivals by three points atop the standings.
Connor Goldson, John Lundstram, and James Tavernier are a few of the starting XI’s most seasoned players at Yankee Stadium.
Rory Loy, a former Rangers player, believes the stalwarts have a lot to answer for when it comes to the team’s decline in performance.
The BBC expert doesn’t think it’s shocking that Rangers have lost their last three games and drawn their previous two because this has happened in previous years.
“I’ve said it throughout, before the show, during the game,” he said to BBC Sportsound. They haven’t handled the pressure well, in my opinion.
“I think some of their stalwarts, Tavernier, Goldson, Lundstram, they’ve been in this position before and anytime that bit of pressure is applied they don’t seem to react well to it.

“They can’t seem to handle it all that well. They did one season of course, when Celtic capitulated and were not anywhere close to them.
“But when it comes to this time of the season, where it’s just after the winter break or closer to the end of the season, they don’t seem to be able to handle it very well.”
Clement said: “I still believe. I was maybe the only one in Glasgow who believed that in October, probably the only one of the whole town who believed that.
“We are now six months later and if we win all our games then there is a really big possibility for that.
