Breaking News: 3 Rangers stars in team of the week under Neil Warnock for Sky Sports pundit

Rangers: Neil Warnock in charge as 3 Gers make team of the week

Following their Scottish Cup victory at Hibs, Kris Boyd has selected three Rangers players for his Scottish Sun squad of the week.

On March 12, the Sky Sports analyst selected defender Connor Goldson, goal scorers Fabio Silva and John Lundstram of Easter Road, and a side led by the now-former Aberdeen manager Neil Warnock.

After a contentious match against Hibs, the Light Blues advanced to the semifinals to face Hearts, while the Jambos were joined in the last four by the Dons and Celtic.

Boyd selected Warnock in addition to three players from Aberdeen, two players from Hearts, two Hoops players—including hat-trick artist Daizen Maider—and one player from the losing teams, Lewis Strapp of Greenock Morton.

Kris Boyd acknowledges three Rangers players for their cup win over the Hibs.

The host team concluded with nine men after a difficult match against the Hibees, thanks to Philippe Clement’s team.

Some have taken issue with the refereeing choices, and there have been ramifications from off-field conduct in the fans.

The vulnerable Rangers squad was further diminished when Ryan Jack was ruled out before kickoff, resulting in two more injured Gers players.

Only three days after securing a solid draw away at Benfica in Europe, it must be considered a creditable performance given the circumstances.

After Dujon Sterling was brought down by Jordan Obita, Lundstram scored from James Tavernier’s saved penalty to give the Gers the lead. Silva then secured the victory with a well-taken goal late in the game.

Although Goldson is arguably luckier to be included in Boyd’s team of the week, the centre back shouldn’t be too proud of himself for keeping a clean sheet under trying conditions.

The fact that Warnock resigned at Pittodrie soon following their 3-1 victory over Kilmarnock, however, is all the more surprising given that he was chosen to be the coach.
