More timidity to observe, more vulnerability in defence, more powder-puff stuff up front, more wide men running in ever decreasing circles. Another defeat, another performance that along with zero goals and zero points had zero positives. In the last few seasons, Rangers, for all their other faults at the time, went toe-to-toe with Athletic Bilbao, Benfica, Red Bull Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund.
I don't know what Jadon Sancho is doing at the moment though, Merson said. He's not running at anybody, not committing people and not taking chances! Sancho needs to stop playing it safe and has to take risks with the ball at his feet. If you lose the ball, no one cares. Try and make things happen instead of just passing it around.
Five league games, zero wins and 10th in the 12-team Scottish Premiership, Neil McCann's assessment that "a lot of things are going wrong at the minute" at Rangers is an accurate one. In the Ibrox side's latest dismal display - a first defeat at home to Hearts since 2014 - Russell Martin became the first Rangers head coach to fail to win any of his first five league games in 47 years.
