A number of Rangers fans have taken to Twitter to comment on Scott Arfield after the midfielder’s display in their Europa League clash on Thursday night.
The Gers missed out on the opportunity to move into the top two in their group. Steven Gerrard’s side drew in Denmark with Ianis Hagi equalising after Leon Balogun scored an own goal for Brondby before the break.
It was a mixed night for the Light Blues. They were poor in possession. And they were generally wasteful whenever they had an attempt on goal.
Rangers’ struggles prompted Gerrard to make a triple change just before the hour-mark. Arfield, Alfredo Morelos and Fashion Sakala were all replaced as the visitors chased an equaliser.
Rangers did manage to improve after the changes. They seemed to step through a few gears.
But that did not stop a lot of Gers fans taking to social media to express some frustration at Arfield being one of those to be taken off.
Plenty felt that the Canada international was the Light Blues’ best player before being replaced.
Several expressed some sort of frustration with the decision to replace Arfield, rather than Steven Davis or Joe Aribo at that stage of the contest.
‘Surprised he’s been hooked’: Rangers fans laud Scott Arfield after Europa League tie
No player made more key passes while he was on the pitch,
And some clearly felt that, while Rangers improved, taking Arfield off was not the best call from Gerrard.
With that in mind, here is what some were saying about Arfield and the decision to replace him…
Arfield been our best player tonight

Hope this comes back to bite me but why are we leaving Davis/Kamara on and taking Arfield off? We need forward players and goals here nothing to lose already being bottom of the group currently!

Arfield is so important to the way we play, I don’t know why Gerrard always makes him re-earn his place at the start of every season.
