Rangers fans react to Sheyi Ojo’s display as Gers beat Ross County

Rangers earned a comfortable 2-0 win over Ross County at Ibrox on Wednesday evening as they bounced back from their disappointing defeat at Tynecastle on the weekend- but Gers fans are not happy with Sheyi Ojo’s performance.

Steven Gerrard’s side suffered the disappointment of losing to Hearts on Sunday, pushing them five points behind Old Firm rivals Celtic in the race for the Scottish Premiership title. The Gers do boast a game in hand.

Gerrard will have wanted a reaction and he certainly got it. With Jermain Defoe picked ahead of the returning Alfredo Morelos up front, the veteran scored and created the second either side of half-time to give Rangers a much-needed three points.

The Gers dominated throughout but it took until just after the 40th minute for the deadlock to be broken. Veteran Defoe put Rangers ahead at the half-time whistle with a neat turn and finish through a crowd of bodies – after Scott Arfield’s knock on.

Defoe turned provider after the half-time whistle, this time Defoe played in Arfield who toe-poked Rangers into a 2-0 lead. Liverpool loanee Ojo, though, did little to influence the outcome of the match.

Ojo, 22, has scored five goals this season but his last came way back in September and his lack of confidence showed. He lasted the entire 90, but Rangers fans were hardly impressed with the England youth international on Twitter.
