Josh Windass has praised three Rangers stars on Twitter following the Gers’ semi-final defeat to Aberdeen – with Ryan Kent, Ovie Ejaria and Daniel Candeias all receiving pass marks from the former Ibrox star.

It was another disappointing semi-final result for the Gers as Aberdeen soaked up all of Steven Gerrard’s side’s pressure and bagged a late winning goal at Hampden Park.

Rangers had no problem creating chances for themselves, but were unable to capitalise on their momentum. They squandered several good openings and were made to pay for not getting that opening goal.

While there is bound to be plenty of disappointment amongst the Gers squad, there are perhaps a handful of players who can be pleased with their performances in the defeat.

Daniel Candeias and Ryan Kent were certainly two of those. Kent has been in brilliant form lately and was constantly causing problems for Aberdeen’s defence, while Candeias also looked extremely dangerous, pulling off some brilliant touches.

Meanwhile, Ejaria also performed well in the middle of the park. He was unfortunate that Umar Sadiq had a difficult day in front of him as it often seemed to mean that the Liverpool loanee could not look for a devastating pass that may have been on had Alfredo Morelos been available.
