Danny rohl vows never to play him again – call him a complete waste of shirt position, with fans backing his decision fully. After 2-2 draw with Dundee united

Charlie Mulgrew blasts Jayden Meghoma despite ‘unbelievable’ scenes in Rangers draw vs Dundee United

Rangers picked up a late point against Dundee United on Wednesday, with few positives coming from the match.

A late penalty saved the Gers from a defeat in what was a lacklustre performance in the Scottish Premiership.

Very few Rangers players performed. However, one of the few bright sparks was Jayden Meghoma, who netted a wonderful equaliser in the first half from 30 yards.

Nevertheless, the full-back was quickly criticised by Charlie Mulgrew despite his wonderful effort.

Charlie Mulgrew: Jayden Meghoma was defensively poor vs Dundee United

Meghoma has not had the best start to his Rangers career.

The Brentford full-back has struggled in recent matches and with rumours that the Rangers could be targeting a new defender, his future in the starting XI has looked uncertain.

However, his goal was a bright spark for the youngster, with a wonderfully struck 30 yard shot that flew into the top corner.

Speaking on Sky Sports News on 3 December, Alan Hutton was quick to describe the goal as “unbelievable” as Meghoma scored his first senior goal.

However, while Mulgrew was impressed with the effort, he was quick to highlight his poor defensive display to that point.

He said: “Defensively, he has been poor down that side alongside Fernandez, but the ball fell to him, and it is a nice, clean strike.

“You could argue that the keeper should move his feet quicker because he has a lot of time to see it.

“Whether it takes a deflection or not, I don’t know, but it is a good strike and a good finish.”

What do the stats say about Meghoma’s performance?

While Rangers’ overall performance was poor, the stats indicate that this wasn’t the case for everyone.

According to Sofascore on 3 December, Meghoma actually had a solid game against Dundee United.

On top of his goal, he rarely misplaced a pass and had plenty of shots at Dundee United’s net.

Also, the full-back was ok defensively, making five clearances throughout.

If Meghoma can put in these performances consistently, he could become a valuable asset in Rohl’s starting XI.

Jayden Meghoma bright spark, 2/10 ghosts again – Rangers player ratings vs Dundee United

Rangers rescued a late 2-2 draw against Dundee United thanks to Nedim Bajrami’s penalty on Wednesday.

Rangers had the worst possible start as Zac Sapsford put the ball into the net with a cool dink over Jack Butland after an impressive run.

However, Jayden Meghoma levelled the score shortly after with a fantastic shot from 30 yards that buried into the corner of the net.

From here, Rangers continued to create, but were unable to put the ball into the net. Then, Amar Fatah restored Dundee United’s lead midway thought the half with a great finish.

However, a foul on Max Aarons allowed Bajrami to convert from the spot in added time to earn a point. However, it is now back-to-back games without a win after the 0-0 draw with Falkirk on the weekend

Jayden Meghoma highlight for Rangers vs Dundee United

While there were few highlights for Rangers in the draw, Meghoma was a bright spark.

Meghoma has been consistently criticised at Ibrox since his move to the Gers in the summer for a mixed set of performances

However, against Dundee United, he was one of the few who put in a bright display.

The full-back scored a wonderful goal to equalise and rarely gave the ball away.

Meghoma was also solid defensively, making numerous clearances and did not deserve to be on the losing side.

The striker has only netted once in the Scottish Premiership, in what has been an awful start to his Ibrox career.

Nevertheless, he was given the nod to start against Dundee United, and did nothing to reward Rohl’s faith.

Despite the chances Rangers were creating, Miovski was nowhere to be seen and ghosted for the majority of the game.
