It was another day of misery for Ibrox fan media with David Edgar fronting up the disappointment to angry bears. 

Doing his best to hold back on the criticism aimed at the players and management Edgar enjoys post-match media access to ask the questions that fans want to have answered. 

Allan McGregor’s nose-dive in form and the loser’s mentality of players led by Cap’n Tav had to be asked with predictable answers. 

Last season’s training ground title win is being exposed by players so mentally weak that being 2-0 up against Motherwell with the chance to cut the gap from three points to one is just too much for them to cope with. 

It was mentioned in dispatches last season how one team benefitted from not having their loyal fans to answer to. 

With each passing week the evidence is growing of the freaky nature of last season, there is no sign of another Lockdown on the horizon to rescue Giovanni van Bronckhorst with an angry jury unable to comprehend handing the SPFL title over to Selik. 

Some defensive calamities and more poor goalkeeping saw us pegged back and somehow not win the match. Added, it must be said to yet more refereeing honest mistakes. 

The goals that Rangers gave away were pub standard. 

The second was a calamity, Motherwell were offside in the build up, there should have been an offside flag, there wasn’t. From there though Tav and Goldson get in a fankle and don’t clear it then a shot to Allan McGregor’s near post- he’s got to save it. 

Rangers did have the ball in the net twice in the second half through Alfredo Morelos, the first one looked perfectly good, the second not given and again we’ve suffered at the hands of refereeing decisions. 

That’s now 13 points out of 24, four of those were draws, it’s not good enough, not acceptable, we can’t keep saying that we are going to click into gear at some point. 

After the match myself and my colleague Martin had questions for the manager. I asked the manager about Allan McGregor, he said that he is still a very good goalkeeper and it is not always his fault when we lose a goal. And I asked James Tavernier whether or not he could understand the fans questioning the mentality of the side after a run like that- he said that the mentality is very good, the other night (Dortmund at home) nobody was questioning it, it’s just that we need to cut out some slackness, play to our capabilities and get the results. 

That is true but easier said than done. Eight games, three wins you can’t just keep saying ‘aye, we know what we are doing wrong and we’ll go and fix ir’. You’ve got to fix it. 

Anything less than two wins in the next two games and it is very difficult for anyone to make a case for this Rangers team winning the league.
