Problem positions addressed - now for a return to winning ways

The hope is the new arrivals can all make a positive impact between now and May. I've been quite pleased with midfielder Tochi Chukwuani so far and it will take time for forward Andreas Skov Olsen to find his feet. Hopefully we get to see new striker Rayan Naderi - who joined on deadline day - and full-back Tuur Rommens soon. While the loss in Porto meant nothing it compounded a European campaign that drained confidence from this group of players as soon as we went 5-0 down at half-time in Bruges.

Rangers addressed problem positions by making four signings during the January window.

I would have liked us to get another two players in, but fans are always greedy.

A return to winning ways at home to Kilmarnock on Wednesday night is imperative after a tough week results wise.

While the loss in Porto meant nothing it compounded a European campaign that drained confidence from this group of players as soon as we went 5-0 down at half-time in Bruges.

I'm glad it's over and we will need to be a lot better prepared next season if we want to get the pre-Russell Martin European runs back.

At Easter Road on Sunday the players looked leggy. We could've played until today and still not created a clear-cut chance.

Our xG came in at 0.55, while Hibs' was 1.88; that tells you all you need to know about the match. It wasn't a great result at all, but it's one we will have to accept and move on quickly.

Obviously Skov Olsen is short of match sharpness but we were very left-side heavy when attacking. It doesn't help when Youssef Chermiti wouldn't shoot when he had made space for him - and he hung around the outside of the box in the final minutes instead of getting in there to impact the game.

Chermiti is such a weird player. He has definitely improved under Danny Rohl but he always makes the wrong runs, he isn't a striker who lives for scoring goals and he lacks the movement in the box when he gets there.

Let's see how the team bounce back at Ibrox against a Killie side who had a superb result on Saturday.
