Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers came from behind to win 2-1 today.
Steven Gerrard has told Rangers TV that the travelling supporters were ‘well within their rights’ to boo the team off at half-time in this afternoon’s 2-1 win at St Johnstone.
Matthew Kennedy scored just before the half-time whistle to condemn Rangers to a 1-0 deficit at the break.
But Gerrard’s troops looked completely revitalised after hearing what the Gers fans made of their performance during the first 45 minutes.
Alfredo Morelos equalised for the Ibrox outfit on 66 minutes, before the Colombian snatched an excellent winner shortly before the end.
And Gerrard admits he has no qualms whatsoever about hearing how his players were treated by Rangers fans at the break.
He told the club’s YouTube channel: “I had to tell them exactly what I thought [at half time]. I think you could tell by our crowd’s reaction. The boos were there and quite rightly so. They were well within their rights to boo even louder because that wasn’t acceptable.”
It must have been very disheartening for the players to hear what Rangers fans thought of their first-half display, but what character and resilience to turn it around.
Gerrard commanded a whole heap of respect as a player, but he clearly commands the same as a manager. The Gers’ playing staff have completely bought into his ideas and that is evident from how they turned this game around.
The Blues are second in the Scottish Premiership, one point behind Celtic.
