Glasgow Rangers loanee Joe Worrall endured a miserable afternoon as the Ibrox side drew 1-1.

Joe Worrall of Rangers looks on prior to the UEFA Europa League Group G match between Rangers and Villarreal CF at Ibrox Stadium on November 29, 2018 in Glasgow, United Kingdom.

A number of Rangers fans have actually implored Steven Gerrard to send Joe Worrall back to his parent club in January after the defender’s performance during the Gers’ latest Scottish Premiership clash.

Worrall has divided opinion since his arrival at Ibrox in the summer. But he appears to have become Gerrard’s favourite option to play alongside Connor Goldson at the heart of the defence.

He got the nod against Dundee on Sunday, and endured an extremely disappointing afternoon as Rangers were held to a 1-1 draw against the division’s bottom side.

Both of the centre-backs will be disappointed with the roles that they played in Kenny Miller’s opening goal for the home team. But Worrall certainly struggled to look comfortable playing on the right of the centre-back pairing.

And unfortunately for the 21-year-old, his afternoon was summed up by a bizarre attempt at a long pass which saw the youngster send the ball out for a throw-in when he was under no pressure and came nowhere near to finding a teammate.

For plenty of Gers fans on social media, they feel that this performance highlighted that it is time to drop Worrall. In fact, some believe that Gerrard should consider terminating his loan from Nottingham Forest next month.
