Rangers vs. Motherwell: Barry Ferguson’s first significant managerial error
The Rangers’ starting lineup for Saturday’s match against Motherwell at Ibrox
has been announced by Barry Ferguson.
The temporary manager will try to start a winning streak in his debut game at Ibrox after
defeating Kilmarnock in his first game as manager. He might have to make amends in the second half,
though, as his choice from March 1st might come back to haunt him. Right-back Ridvan Yilmaz is undoubtedly a serious worry.
Ferguson has chosen to start Ridvan Yilmaz at right-back on Saturday due to the defensive dilemma.
Given how difficult it has been for the Turkish left-back to play on that side of defense, this is definitely a serious problem.
Someone had to step in at center-back since James Tavernier was there, but that’s not the right perspective.
Since Leon Balogun is a bench warmer and a center-back by trade, he ought to start at right-back alongside Tavernier. The Gers must lead Motherwell from the start.
Setting the tone for the game when the Gers play Motherwell requires getting out to a fast start and gaining the lead early. The hosts will be able to establish control with a quick start, putting Motherwell on the defensive and upsetting their strategy. In addition to giving Rangers more confidence, scoring early forces Motherwell to chase the game, which may reveal defensive openings for Ferguson’s team to take advantage of.
