David Edgar has expressed strong criticism of Rangers’ performance following their 1-0 defeat to Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on October 20. Marley Watkins’ late goal secured the win for Kilmarnock, adding to the mounting pressure on Rangers manager Philippe Clement. Edgar, known for his commentary on the Heart & Hand Podcast, particularly criticized the defensive lapses, calling it a “riot at the back” and describing the overall performance as a “disaster.”
The defeat represented a missed opportunity for Rangers, especially after Celtic’s draw with Aberdeen the day before, which had given Rangers a chance to close the gap in the Scottish Premiership. Instead, the loss further widened the distance between the Glasgow rivals, deepening the frustrations among the Ibrox faithful.
Clement faces the challenge of turning around a difficult season, as the team has struggled to find consistency and live up to its potential. Despite the talent within the squad, both Clement’s tactics and the team’s execution on the pitch have come under scrutiny. Although the manager could cite limitations in financial backing for new signings, the need for tactical improvements is also evident.
Former Celtic player Chris Sutton joined in on social media, taking a sly dig at Rangers’ situation after the loss, adding to the heated discussion around the club’s recent struggles. As the pressure continues to build, Clement and his squad must deliver better performances quickly to keep hopes of a successful season alive.
