Alan Brazil believes Rangers did not “embarrass” themselves against Manchester United, despite their 2-1 loss on Thursday.
The Gers thought they had an equaliser when Cyriel Dessers scored in the 88th minute, but Bruno Fernandes’ finish was too superb to miss.
Philippe Clement’s men are presently 13th in the table, just three points below eighth place.
Ray Parlour and Brazil spoke live on talkSPORT (January 24, 06:20am) on the Ibrox outfit’s performances.
“Listen, we can have a go at Man United saying that it’s the worst Man United side etc but Rangers played alright didn’t they, let’s be fair, they had a go,” Brazil informed the crowd.
When Parlour responded: “It’s the sort of game where they up their game against Celtic didn’t they and they upped their game against United last night.”
Brazil went on to say: “I thought they nicked a draw, great touch, bang, finish but look I think it’s more clinical the Premier League than the Scottish Premiership and they didn’t embarrass themselves, put it that way.”
Rangers cannot let the defeat against Manchester United bring them down.
The 2024/25 season was one that Rangers fans would prefer to forget as soon as possible.
They are now 13 points behind first-placed Celtic in the Scottish Premiership and were lost on penalties in the Scottish League Cup final, although putting up a valiant effort against their archrivals.
Fans may be disappointed because they thought they could have earned a point against the Red Devils, but the financial disparity allows the Gers some leeway.
At the moment, it doesn’t look likely that Clement’s men will make it back into the top eight places in the Europa League table but if they can beat Union Saint-Gilloise next week and other results go their way, anything is possible.
Only time will tell what the future holds for Rangers but if they can get over this defeat, they could find themselves at a turning point in their season.
