Jon Flanagan of Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers didn’t have a brilliant game.
Rangers fans on Twitter are slating Jon Flanagan after his latest effort under Steven Gerrard.
The Gers suffered a shock 2-1 defeat away to bottom-of-the-table Hearts on Sunday afternoon, missing the chance to cut their five-point deficit to league leaders Celtic.
With Rangers captain James Tavernier sidelined, the former Liverpool right-back has been enjoying a second wind in Gerrard’s first XI since the winter break ended.
But he didn’t take his latest chance with both hands.
The first half at Tynecastle passed Flanagan by in a big way and Gerrard took the 27-year-old – who was booked – off at half-time, replacing him with Matt Polster.
Here’s how fans of the Ibrox side reacted to Flanagan’s showing.
Rangers need Tavernier back as soon as possible.
Yes, he has had some dodgy moments this season, particularly defensively, but Gerrard’s side are clearly a much better team when he’s in it.
Now is not the time for the light Blues to go through a dip in form. If they let Celtic get too far ahead then Neil Lennon’s side simply will not be caught.
