Rangers have moved up to second in the Scottish Premiership table after a 3-0 win at home to Livingston on Sunday.
With Hearts beaten by struggling St Mirren, the Gers had a golden chance to take a significant step in the title race and picked up all three points to remain within touching distance of Celtic at the top of the table.
Despite the margin of victory, it wasn’t the most convincing of performances against Livi, with Steven Gerrard’s side requiring two late goals from Alfredo Morelos and Scott Arfield to make certain of the win, after Daniel Candeias’ early opener.
Fans were left disappointed with the midfield display, pointing fingers at Ovie Ejaria in particular for an ineffective performance.
The young Liverpool loanee has blown hot and cold this season and supporters are looking for a bit more consistency from the 21-year-old, with some believing Gerrard should perhaps drop the prospect.
These fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on his situation…
Thought Ejaria was non existent again and lafferty was poor again today, so thankful we have someone like Alfredo

Wouldn’t mind seeing some stats on the Rangers midfield today. Felt as though the game passed by Ejaria.

They completely nullified our midfield. We weren’t able to play through them at all, mainly because they marked Ejaria out of the game. Arfield posed a threat by getting forward in support but as a unit our midfield struggled throughout.

Jack excellent – did he give the ball away once? Candeias at his best today. But Ejaria 2nd half – wtf happened? Invisible man.

A steady if underwhelming performance this afternoon.
Livingston are very good at stifling the bigger teams, well organised.
Done enough today and it was comfortable in the end.
We still can seem to find a midfield 3 that works at the minute, Ejaria poor again today.

Ejaria for me plays well on spells then seems to drift out the game. I understand he’s still young etc but personally I’d rather give a fit Rossiter game time

Arfield and Ejaria guilty of hiding today, they need to bring their A game against bigger opponents.

Today shows how important Morelos is to that team, utter dire until he came on and once again can someone enlighten me to what Ejaria offers us. An empty jersey.
